I use it in place of mayo with tuna. Lots of protein...

The fitbit is mostly a pedometer/accelerometer. I use mine on the elliptical all the time and it logs steps and how fast I'm taking them and tries to calculate the calories burned. I personally use a HRM. Between fitbit, the HRM and MFP, the calorie counts range wildly for an estimate of what I burned... I go with the HRM…

Isn't it funny how he can say it in all kinds of way, but when you acknowledge what he's saying, it all of a sudden becomes "real"? I went through something similar with my husband... I told him that I would help him by making lunches (those were his weak spot -- eating crap food for lunch at work) and I loosely track it…

If it's a fitbit one, they are much more water resistant than the old Ultra. I jumped into my pool accidentally with mine and it was fine. DIdn't even have to put it in rice or anything. If the battery was charged recently, it should still be ok. Takes over a week for them to fully run down, from what I've experienced.…

The fitbit one seems to be mostly plastic to me. I don't think a metal detector will pick it up. If you, or someone you know has a iphone 4S or newer (or one of the android devices that they support with the right Bluetooth version), download the fitbit app and try to sync out in the yard around where the dog was. Even if…

My kids and husband devour these everytime I make them. Carrot cake pancakes from Cooking Light. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/carrot-cake-pancakes-10000001949746/ you need to shred your own carrots... the preshred carrots from the store are too dry.
-
I use them (my store has the House Foods brand) a couple of times a month. I rinse them thoroughly in warm water and drain them very well (on paper towels) and then toss them in a frying pan with some PAM; they are fine to me. I have never tried boiling them like pasta or anything. They are indeed very rubbery, but that…

I can't stand any yogurt and certainly not greek yogurt. I do cook with it though, as I have found a lot of recipes lately that ask for it to thicken or cream up a sauce

Which is why I looked it up upon seeing your posts. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know everything all the time that could possibly offend someone else. To us, it was just a brownie recipe using beer. It's not even named in reference to the group, it's called that due to the appearance of the two different beers being…
-
Another cultural difference. I was confused as to why you thought that was offensive, until I saw your second post. I've never heard of the group you mentioned. From wikipedia: Black and Tan is a drink made from a blend of pale ale and a dark beer such as a stout or porter, most often Guinness. Sometimes a pale lager is…

I have red hair and brown eyes.... my sister's a redhead with blue eyes.

It's irritating to me too, but I finally realized that some of it has to do with the fact that ingredients and servings sizes, etc can be different depending on where you are getting the product from... i.e. US v. Canada v. UK, etc and we are all sharing the same database. So there can be different variations of the…

Target used to carry them... I actually bought mine there but I have not seen them there recently, and I have looked because i was going to get my husband one. Best Buy and Brookstone carry them in store.

I think this is inaccurate. The Zip doesn't have a **rechargable** battery but it IS a replacable battery... one of those circular watch type batteries.
-
The zip is brand new and the One isn't out yet. Most people have the Ultra currently. I have an ultra; I love it. The Zip is entry level and doesn't do the sleep tracking or the stair counting, I think. It's basically an entry level pedometer. The One is replacing the Ultra model. They basically took the Ultra and fixed…

subbing out the mayo for cottage cheese is good too... doesn't even need bread.

Sizes are crazy these days. I am 5'5 and currently 148. I started at close to 200 and was a tight 10/loose 12 (old navy). I bought a pair of size 4 jeans at the Limited the other day and a size 4 skirt at Loft and they weren't tight/uncomfortable at all. I would've thought I would've needed to lose at least another 10lbs…

I made up a pretty decent asian-themed dish last night and used natural peanut butter (i.e. just peanuts and salt on the ingredient label) . I sprayed a large skillet with Pam and then threw in some garlic and ginger... then threw in a bag of broccoli slaw and 1/2 a shredded savoy cabbage. Added a tablespoon of Mirin to…

The Recipes forum is a good place to start. Lots of good ideas on those threads.

Offering your 90-year old grandparents a tent to sleep in the backyard?! Please tell me you are joking... I agree with the other recommendations about offering them your room and you take the air mattress in the playroom.

Even with the sugar, you can gradually cut that back, too. 100 cals of sugar is quite a bit of sugar. 1 tsp is only 15 cal, so you can maybe continually to decrease from the 100 cals down to lesser amounts. This is what has really worked for me this whole time... just gradually scaling things back until they're healthier…

Love seeing the fitbit front and center!! :)
-
Mix it with a can of tuna and some S&P. It's pretty good.
-
I weigh pretty much everything... as much as possible. My scale does ml/fl oz, so I've actually started to using it more than my liquid measuring cups...

I would be heartbroken if I ever lost my engagement ring, since my husband had it custom made and put a lot of thought into it... I've been getting nervous, since my rings are spinning on my finger, but I have huge knuckles that seem to be keeping them in place... After reading this, I think I'll go pick up some of those…

anyone know if this will work with corn tortillas too? or just the flour?
-
Would be curious to hear if anyone recommends the Polar H7 or Wahoo Blue low-power bluetooth HRMs that work directly with the Bluetooth low energy phones (iphone 4S) for example.... been pondering one of those myself.
-
Oh, brother -- thanks for the tip. I won't bother trying to issue anyone a compliment again. /eyeroll.
-
well, congrats to you then, I didn't mean ill will by it, I guess it just shocked me. Your thumbnail profile pic certainly didn't lead me to believe that you had substantial weight to lose, as you are gorgeous!

35 lbs in 6 weeks?? and 2 of those were cheat weeks? That's an average loss of almost 6 lbs/wk without even factoring in the cheat weeks... Not quite sure what to say about that...
