COngrats!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome!!!!! There is an old railroad track here that they have converted like 100 miles of it into a paved trail- and people walk/roller blade/bike/jog etc when the weather is warm... There is a place we can 'get on' by our house- and if we walk to the downtown of the city we live in and back its…

Don't know. Yesterday I had a wet burrito and went over the same for my fat and zero'd out my calories for the day! I was talking to dh about it and he said, "well yeah that's not surprising the refried beans are loaded with fat! " I had NO idea! Here i thought they were a good choice- maybe next time i should get an all…

Considering the fact I went way over on calories 4 of the 7 days.. (and I didnt really do any 'real' exercise) i'm pretty happy with the fact I have lost 3lbs! Hopefully with menu planning this week and actually going out for walks (my 8 year old is begging me to take her for a walk on the bike trail.. she's good…

My oldest is 8 years old. We moved in with my grandparents about 3 years ago. We never had a problem with her weight until then. At the time we first moved in, I was working and they would watch her. Often I would come home and they would rave about how she had eaten 2+ cans of Ravioli or spaghettie-o's. You can imagine my…

Ok I will try not to make this confusing. Here is some background info: we're living with my grandparents while I finish college to save money and because it helps them out a ton. So anyways, I cook dinner everynight but it's for our family of 4 (me, dh, and 2 daughters ages 8 and 14 months) and then my grandparents- and…

I haven't had any horror stories yet- at least none that i couldn't fix. However, my mom is another story. She made a dessert she often makes called Blueberry Crunch. I don't know if she was tired or what- but instead of like the cup of sugar or whatever it called for- she used salt! There was no saving that recipe! Worst…

That is correct. One of the "side-effects" of doing the cleanse can possibly be weight loss- but that's not the reason to do the cleanse!!!! If you want to loose weight, just watch calories etc and exercise! It's not going to hurt you to do the master cleanse- after all- it is a cleanse! It will make you feel better! The…
-
No that is awesome! That is one thing that makes me want to loose weight! It's been 10+ years since i've "ran".... I know if i took 3 steps running i'd be huffing and puffing too! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! But sorry, don't have any advice on breathing- but I will be checking back because i k now sooner than later im going to…

Oh I hear you! I live in Michigan- and it's only been this week that it has been above 40 and 50! It's soooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Btw- i looked at your profile and love your pictures you have! Your family looks like you all have so much fun =) So cute!
-
Because of my weight- i have always hated posting pictures of myself in profiles on the internet or sending them to people- i always have taken pictures with the camera up over my head and me looking up... (ie- it stretches out the dbl chin and extra skin on my face and makes me look much thinner).. anyways-- i know it's…
-
THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU! I got it figured out =) I used 1.5 servings of a 1lb burrito and when i entered it into my food 'diary' for the day I had.. around 850 calories left and when i looked at "calories left for the day" expecting a negative number- it said ZERO! haha i hit the nail perfectly on the head today! I'm…

This is my first full week of MFP- sunday is exactly one week. I haven't hopped on the scale ALL week- and cannot wait until TOMORROW-- i'm so excited to see what I have accomplished this week! (I dont know if i've ever been soo excited to jump on a scale before.. lol)
-
THE SECRET_ thats what it's called- that's where my mom got off on her positive kick! Only she watched he "movie".. it's pretty good. And wether you believe in what they say or not- putting their suggestions in to practice will AT LEAST make you feel better and have a more positive outlook on life!
-
Ok so when i found 1 recipe on recipeczar or whatever it's called- it showed the burrito at 1011 calories and like 69% of my daily fat! YIKES! However- the recipe has brown gravy and lots of extras that the one i had didnt have in it! But then when i looked on calorie king- a wet burrito came up as 500 calories? Should i…

For every 15 minutes of being "on top/ the one doing most of the work" it burns 146 calories. Had to figure that one out this morning!
-
I understand what you're going through! It's not easy. You just need to change your outlook and things will get better! My mom got me to do this- even though i fought her for months and months because i didnt want to believe it. Anyways- she always thinks/speaks positive. She doesn't say, "oh im always broke" instead she…
-
Well you shouldn't want to lose weight for your girlfriend! But anyways- I'm a HUGE fan of the master cleanse... you should buy the book and read it (it costs all of $6).. and read WHY you should do the master cleanse.. most people don't do the cleanse to just lose weight- it's actually a cleanse for your body and helps…

Apparently they are a "michigan" thing.. Anyways- had one for dinner tonight (had plenty of calories left to use-- so thought i'd go enjoy one).. but the restaraunt (Taco BOY) didn't have nutritional info on any of their food-- so i thought i'd google calories for a wet burrito. All I could find were recipes- and ones that…

Nevermind- found my answer-- wish i could delete my post!
-
lol.. it was funny... i love how one video turns into 100 more. I just HAD to click on the other "mr. potato head videos" that popped up- so maybe i'll post back here in an hour and let you know where i am. You know how it goes- you start out watching a video about American Idol Rejects from the Netherlands signing "Simply…

Surprisingly????? Oh wait- i didnt read it and put any thought into what words i was reading.. I thought you said, "surprisingly, great music" and I was thinking- whoa!? Why are you surprised that they are so good? Anyways- since it quoted it and i re-read it- i see you said RUNNING music.... ok anyways.. :wink:
-
Oh good- i was getting bored with uploading more photos to my profile- I'm there!

Oh and one more thing: I took the question to mean if you were overweight and beautiful that you wouldn't be able to just "loose the weight".. that you would just have to be overweight your entire life.
-
An ex of mine made comments similar to that. He was a skinny guy-- and i mean he was skinny. But a geek and what-not so of course I found him attractive. Anyways after we had been dating awhile we were talking one day and he made a comment about how he loved the fact that I never once complained to him about my looks or…
-
I couldn't have said it better myself!
-
It is a hard question. I always joke with my sister- about how some skinny girls can't change their looks- but i know all i need to do is loose weight to look good! haha. Anyways, it's a toss-up because what i think is beautiful- others don't. Su want to be "beautiful" but if being overweight meant medical conditions and…
-
I had a Baja Blast Drink from taco bell tonight- and of course it's not listed in the foods on here when i searched. So ok- ill google it. Well i found the calories for 8oz.. but i cannot for the life of me find out how many OZ's are in the drinks they give you when you order a meal???? Why is this so difficult to find!…
-
CONGRATS! That's awesome and a total motivation for me today!
-
ohh thanks- those sound good! Guess I have to get in the habit of taking the time to make a lunch! I know I should do it- but usually put it off until it's too late and then think "omg my stomach is growling" as i'm running out the door!

I'm a mom and full time college student (and did i mention pregnant with my 3rd? ) haha. Anyways- thursday are my long day at school (9am-11pm). I always tend to eat 2 or 3 of my meals out and don't want to this week since I'm watching calories! Any suggestions? Guess that might be hard since you can't see in my fridge or…
