Hey, I'm getting back into the groove of things and need some peeps for support! :) a lot of the people on my friends list haven't logged in a while... thanks!

I'm looking for more active (on the site and in general) friends :D looking forward to it!

One good advice that I've heard is that when you are starting to think about making changes, don't make changes yet in diet. Just track it all. Track it for a week. Then you can see what you are eating and decide what you need to cut back on. You've got to have a little willpower, too. I haven't lately but I'm starting…

I'd love to do this.... if you want to motivate me or keep me in line, because I desperately need it, add me. SW: 263 GW: 160 On to onederland... 64

I think MFP removed my photo from the original post :smiley: hahaha let's keep it rolling

This thread is hilarious. I'm just sitting here eating pumpkin seeds enjoying the banter. :smile:

I keep my candies in a candy box, in the cupboard... it's supposed to keep me monitoring the intake better, and sometimes it works : )))))) hahah .... for a nice recipe, I like to mix greek yogurt, nutella, oats, and chia.

It's taking me 5 years... >:O but not this time.

I'll second this. :smiley:

I started not eating them back a while ago... but I've not noticed a difference. Perhaps it's time for me to take a different route.

So the worst joke I ever read on a Laffy Taffy wrapper was: "what do you get when you mix a fly, a car, and a pet?" "a flying carpet" :| :#

I'm not a big baked potato eater, I rather cook them with my food, so an average meal with potatoes will also have chicken, onions, zucchini or eggplant, carrots, etc. :))))

I seem to average on 4-5 cups a day, but I try to get more in when I remember... most of the time I'm barely ever thirsty. I drink a bottle of water at school; it holds up to 4 cups. I'm probably not thirsty all the time because I fall asleep after I get home from my morning class. :blush: Too tired to think about it.

I like my digital scale because it does ounces, fl oz, grams, mL and if the object goes up to a pound, it'll start from there instead of just adding ounces, although sometimes I wish it would.

Bacon.

I'll tell you right now - from that list you gave I can tell you that the olives, quinoa, beans, seeds, and noodles have calories that are more dense than the lettuces. :smile:

Thanks for the input. :smile: I might think about adding them in again... gotta get batteries for my HRM then :smiley:

This is amazing. You are amazing. :blush: So I'm pretty much in the same category as you, short (5'2") and I think I'm around 190 to 200 (I don't know because I didn't bring my scale with me to Florida).... how long did it take you to get to your goal weight? Which aspect of your progress do you think was the most helpful…

Since I stopped logging calories lost during exercise, I pretty much just look at the end result. (Doesn't mean I stopped exercising! :smiley: ) If I go over, I go over. I am not sure if it's working yet, because I don't have a scale here with me, but sometimes I feel better. Probably at the end of the year, I'm going to…

I would think jeans wouldn't let the sweat wick from your body easily... you should wear clothes that are mainly cotton so that your body can breathe and you won't get rashes. :)

Another issue is the recipe creator... it's not accurate and won't let me edit the foods that it searches for me yet... hope that gets fixed soon! :smile:

I'm having trouble making a recipe, too... I just made a food and need to find out how much it is per serving... :(

It's not creepy, it's considered the same thing if a woman adds attractive men only to her friend's list. :)

Not you, Tada.

Hummm.... you probably smell like fish and dirty socks, then. >.>

Some lady perfume, you know the one that you smell when you walk by someone quickly and it kind of smells like roses and musk... I'm not good with names. The perfumes I own are not name brands and smell just as wonderful as ones that cost a lot of money. :D

Does it have to be 40? Because I think I have more than that to lose.... but I'd like to give it a go! :)

I'm 5'2, sooooo I think anything shorter than that. I rather like my guys tall. :D Like, 6 or 7 inches taller or more.

All your pictures are removed. :(
