I could be wrong, but "arroz con leche" translates to "rice with milk" and is a very common Mexican dish. I don't know if they put sugar in it or not, but I've had rice with milk and sugar before and I think it's good... :blushing:

I've had to do this twice now - and have gotten mine re-sized twice. My husband doesn't like when I wear it on the wrong finger. But at least I still wear it! It's a good feeling! @ the OP - Good job! :)

Just my personal opinion on Paleo: one of the best parts about it is that it cuts out all the processed crap and it's a lot harder to over eat/get over full on meat and fresh vegetables. It's still like any other diet, though. If you can't stick with it long term, don't even bother. You can't count on a diet to change a…

This. I'm actually taking a class on this very thing right now. Learn to listen to your body and what certain cues actually mean and you'll be a lot better off!

You're MELTING!! So proud of you, sister!!

low-fat/no-fat/reduced-fat milk is all a myth - go with whole milk. I work at a coffee shop, and there's really no way to have a "healthy" mocha. All it is is chocolate syrup, espresso (no calories) and steamed milk. The only "bad" thing in it is the chocolate syrup. If it means that much to you, you'll make room for it. A…

My logging was definitely becoming an obsession - to the point of me avoiding social interactions where I knew food might tempt me because I knew if I ate "bad food" that I'd have to log it, and so on, so forth. Prompted by my tri-coach, I quit logging. I haven't logged for a couple of weeks now. I'm taking a class with…

Love it! Congrats!!

By the way - if you get your glucose/insulin in check, the cholesterol won't be an issue and you won't have to worry about eggs, red meat, etc... Edit: but based on what you just posted, you already know that! :wink:

This! I use ON Extreme Milk Chocolate with 12 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Tastes JUST like chocolate milk. And sometimes I add some ice and/or peanut butter to make it a little higher calorie and give it some volume, but a lot of days I just throw it in a blender bottle and head out the door, then have a low-carb…

LOVE this thread! Not just because there are some good lookin' fellas on MFP, but because 1. you're not starving yourself and 2. you're not just doing hours upon hours of cardio. More girls need to realize that eating + lifting = fat loss which LOOKS better in the long run. It's not always about the number on the scale.…

Oct 1 - spin class 1/10 complete (65 minutes) and last night I signed up for the Route 66 Mother Road Bike Tour! 33 miles to come on the 13th!

I'm in! I love road cycling, but don't get to ride my bike outside as much as I'd like (scheduling conflicts...) but I've made it my personal goal to go to spin class every Monday and Wednesday, and possibly Saturday mornings - this would be a good group for me to join to try and keep myself accountable to that goal. That…

If your body needs a rest day, take a rest day. If you overtrain you risk injuring yourself.

For me, I don't really care all that much. And it kind of depends on the person that used it. If they have obviously not bathed in a while or just really stink or something, I might wipe it down myself, but in general I don't really care. Plus, the gym I go to is really good about "rounding" with disinfectant and wash…

I didn't find it either, but would like to join!!

I'm 5'3'' and personally think 105 is too low, but that's just me. I could never be 105 without losing some muscle, so I wouldn't even attempt it. My lean body mass is more than that... SW: 290 CW: 227.5 GW: 145ish or whatever number comes with a normal body fat %

Well, since you evidently know everything there is to know about losing weight, I should have just kept to myself. :huh:

I use this brand, too. The extreme milk chocolate is AMAZING with unsweetened vanilla almond milk!

230 is definitely possible depending on your personal stats and how fast you were walking. The average is about 120 calories per mile, give or take a little. What adjustment are you talking about? I'm confused with your 1,000 number because there's no way you burned 1,000 walking for 45 minutes - that does seem…

I had my annual wellness screening at work and my blood pressure was 141/90...and I was only 24

I've tried several classes by myself - it's not bad at all. Like someone else said, you meet new people and make new friends and eventually you're not alone.

wash as warsh especially as expecially espresso as expresso both as bolth enchilada as anchilada treadmill as treadmeal I could probably continue that list for a while, especially if I just sit and listen to my husband talk. He's guilty of at least four of those on a regular basis and it drives me CRAZY!

I completely disagree with the first statement. I think the quality of your calories can greatly affect whether you lose weight or not. It's different for every person. If you're body is sensitive to carbs, obviously a low-calorie/high-carb diet is not going to be beneficial to you because your body is just going to…

Eating healthy/clean food isn't really all that expensive when you eat food in the proper portions - it all comes out in the wash. The fact that people are actually referring to it as "the eat clean diet" is disturbing to me - they should just call it the "common sense diet".

Here's an EXCELLENT blog by David Modderman regarding Body by Vi: http://www.davidmodderman.com/blog/index.php/weight-loss/body-by-vi-is-it-all-hype/

Doesn't happen? Really? But how are your behaviors during that time? You're probably not gorging yourself with the same foods as you used to and you're probable more active... :noway:

It's a starvation diet in disguise, plus it's just a multi-level marketing scheme...in general, flee from any diet plan that has an actual name if you want to lose the weight and keep it off. Edit: I second what someone else said about making your own and that your friend will gain the weight back. Diets like these don't…

I also thought Roxy first - except I would have spelled it Roxi. :smile:

We must have been raised in the same universe! There was no "I don't wan this" or "I'm not eating this". Mom fixed it, we ate it. End of story.
