So, adding 10 pounds to her scrawny frame meant she was no longer considered skinny? How depressing.

Qdoba Mexican Grill has an awesome calculator on their website. I also love Panera, Chili's, Quizno's, Subway, and Chevy's. I usually check out a restaurant's website and http://healthydiningfinder.com/ before I go out to eat.

We're getting ready to go camping for a few days with not a lot of options for healthy food. I bought some "snack size" plastic baggies and filled them with single servings of walnuts & dried cranberries, pistachios, & dried mango. I also packed FiberOne bars. On each of the baggies I wrote the calories and fat so I can…

Well I love my job and my boss now but I've been in your situation more than once. It's definitely a horrible situation, since you can't exactly escape your boss and it isn't the best time to try to find a new job, especially when you truly like the one you have. At some point you'll have to get out. Toxic situations at…

I haven't tried it myself but I know there are recipes for using cottage cheese to make pancakes. Seems like that would be lower in carbs...

Hey there another Marylander checking in!! I'm down in Columbia now but I grew up in Eldersburg...at least people know where Westminster is! :laugh: Congrats on the weight loss :flowerforyou:

Have you tries the peanutbutter Fiber One bars? They are very tasty!!

I buy the 97% lean ground turkey. Its a much lighter pink color than ground turkey that includes dark meat which has more fat in it. I personally like the ground turkey better than the lean ground beef. It is lower in cholesterol and , when you make sure to get the lean stuff, it has fewer calories and fat. Tastes just as…

Some of the food I take to work is: - Fiber One bar - Dannon Lite and Fit yogurt - Oranges, apples, grapes - Cheese (either string cheese or Cabot individual slices) - cottage cheese - Hummus and carrot sticks - Cedarlane burritos or veggie wraps - Ham or turkey sandwich on Pepperidge Farm Lite bread - small container of…

I like Angelfood cake with some fresh strawberries on top.

I cut up yellow and green squash, saute it in a little olive oil and then dump a can of diced tomatoes in and let it simmer. Delicious!! Sometimes I add eggplant and okra. Spaghetti squash is one of my favorite squashes! While it cooks saute some yellow squash a red onion, maybe a little tomato. Then mix up some italian…

I do my workout and cooldown and take a look at my heartrate. Once its close to normal I stop the monitor. I figure that even if I'm not at my target rate if my HR is still 100 or 120 then I'm still burning calories!!

We had birthdays in our office yesterday. Four cakes...I resisted until about 2pm and gave in to temptation. I was bummed the rest of the day. :sad: Don't give in!! You'll be so proud of yourself later. :happy:

Scoop out a watermelon with a melon baller and fill it back up with the melon balls and other fruit like pineapples, grapes, strawberries and other melons. The best advice I can give is to make as much as you can the night before so you have time to enjoy yourself and if something takes longer than you expected or just…

I have a Polar F6 and I absolutely love it. It has made a huge difference in my weight loss!! I got mine on Ebay for ~$80

Aww, congratulations!! Nothing is cuter than a beagle puppy!! :happy:

Please get a second opinion. One of my friends went to her Dr. when she was pregnant because she had found a lump. He shrugged it off as something to do with the pregnancy. She returned when the bump got larger and more appeared. He again told her it was nothing and to stop worrying. Eventually after fighting with her…

I had my ankle done and it hurt WAY more than my back or hip. I also had one of my tattoo artists tell me that he strongly discouraged getting tattoos on the tops of your feet or your toes because it gets rubbed against your shoes constantly and will eventually need to be recolored. Unless you're attached to getting it on…

So I had to forward this question on to my bf. Here's what I got back: "You're just trying to keep me entertained for the day aren't you...you know this is one of my favorite games to play. I'll get back to you, but I know a few off the top of my head: Processor - Core 2 Duo 8400M Awesome speed at < $200 Video Card -…

Preach it Msarro!! :flowerforyou: We run Fedora 8 on all of our computers. I have a dual booting laptop for those occasional programs we have to use that only work with Windows (like all of our Garmin software :sad: ).

One of my best dates ever was with my current SO. He took me out to dinner and told me he wanted me to order something completely different from anything I would normally get. Then he had me pick out something that I was sure I liked and he ordered it for himself so I could switch with him if I didn't like mine :laugh: .…

Yay for Linux!! Our house is a Windows free zone :laugh: Does that give me extra geek points?

I love the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Power Scuplt DVDs. My boyfriend and I do them together in the living room without stepping all over one another so it will probably work for you in a limited space.

I don't think it prompts you about adjusting goals until you have lost 10 lbs (and continues for each additional 10 lbs). I know I received a message after my last 10 lbs and I don't believe I've seen it change any other time. You can always go in and adjust your goals whenever you like.

No level 70s for me yet. My boyfriend and I canceled our accounts shortly after the expansion came out BUT we just started up again, after a year of being away, and we're working our way through the Outlands . For the horde!! ;) I was going to try CoH before we decided to start up WoW again but I just didn't get around to…

I'm a gamer girl :happy: World of Warcraft, Any of the Singstars, Oblivion, Sims....

I bought a HRM and it has made a huge difference. Turns out my estimated calories were a little more than what I was actually burning (which means I was eating too many calroies!). Once I got the HRM I entered the correct amount and ate all of my exercise calroies and I've been back on track losing :smile:

Nope you can buy it in stores. I know I've seen it in Best Buy and it was only $9.99. I think you'll really like it. but be prepared to be sore after you try it the first time!! :laugh:

Don't give up !! :smile: We all have ups and downs. You're sore today (it'll be worse tomorrow) but if you go in and work out again you'll prove to yourself that you can do it and before you know it you'll be back to where you were before you went off track! Everytime I work through the soreness I'm extra proud of myself…

I love the Biggest Loser cardio Max. Its a tough workout and Bob and Jillian always make me laugh!:smile:
