Last week I picked up McDonalds on the way to my Mom's. I bought two side salads for $1.00 each with Paul Newman's Light Italian Salad Dressing, two $1.00 cheeseburgers and two $1.00 large diet cokes. The calories for each of us were around 300 which wasn't too bad.

That is awesome! I have a Polar F4 thats a few years old now. Whenever I hit over 500 I am happy. (Today I hit 501--I did the Stairclimber for 30 minutes, Treadmill for 15 and then lifted weights for 30 minutes. When I got home I did the 30 minute Jillian Michaels 6 pack abs.

That's awesome. And what a nice son you have! Good luck to you.

Steel Cut Oats made in Rice Cooker ! 1/2 rice cooker scoop Steel Cut Oats 1/2 scoop Quinoa 2 1/2 scoops water Cook in rice cooker After cooked add another 2 1/2 cups of water and stir. Let set for a while so water gets soaked up by oats and quinoa. Refrigerate. In the morning we take out what we need, microwave for one…

The Jillian Michaels six pack abs is on utube and I think the 30 day shred is too. I have done the 6 pack abs but people are always mentioning the 30 day shred. Hope this helps!

I would also suggest you check with the gym to see if there is a weight limit. Here are some suggestions to keep your workouts from becoming boring. Hopefully you have an ipod or mp3 player to play some music while you workout. It makes such a difference. I have listened to Kathy Smith's walking tapes for years and never…

I don't know how many times I started a diet but didn't stick to it. It seemed like the hardest thing to just stay with it and actually start losing weight, So when I finally stuck with the diet and did everything right (under my calorie limit and exercise) it was a surprise to me that it took so long to lose weight. I am…

I am 63, will be 64 in June. I joined MFP in 2007 but didn't regularly log until August 2012. Within the last couple of months I have added a few friends and it is nice to have the extra support! I am a mother of two married daughters and grandmother of five grandchildren, ages 10, 9, 8, 7 & 5. My husband and I have been…

I use cytosport whey protein (vanilla or chocolate) that we buy at Costco. It tastes good (I think) mixed with water and nixes pretty easily. My husband mixes his with water. I usually have a smoothy for breakfast mixed with fruit and it is delicious. Here is one of my recipes: 1 cup strawberries, blueberries & raspberries…

I buy romaine lettuce and chop it in bottom of the bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, celery, boiled eggs, salmon or tuna and boiled eggs. I sometimes add sunflower seeds or slivered almonds or garbanzo beans or kidney beans. You could make the salad the night before, just add the salmon or tuna when you get ready to eat. I just…

I have gone there several times and had the Whiskey River Salad. I ask for the salad dressing and barbecue sauce on the side. I just put a little of the barbecue sauce on and a small amount of salad dressing. It has avocados, corn, black beans and chicken. . It is topped with some fried onions which I eat a little and push…

Here are some that I like: Berry Smoothy 1 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) 1 cup almond unsweetened milk (30 calories) 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla) 1 Tbsp. chia seeds 1 Tbsp flax seeds 1 8 oz glass of ice Pumpklin Smoothy 1 cup pumpkin 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp pumpkin…

That looks delicious. Thanks for posting!

That is great! Interested in what you get to eat. Were you hungry? Did you do any exercise? Congratulaitons on the speedy weight loss!

Several years agothere was a very large guy in our water aerobics class. I think he weighed 500+ pounds. He was able to get an extension belt so that it fit him. I'm sure you could get one if you called customer service.

I am sure if you call the Polar customer service, they would be able to replace it for you. I had a problem with mine several years ago and called and talked to them, they helped me mail it in and then called me back after they received it. They offered to either fix it or apply the money to a new one.

I feed my 3 cats Science Diet mixed with Friskies canned from the grocery store. Science Diet was recommended by the vet for one cat that has a bladder inflamatory problem. She needs to make sure she gets lots of liquid so I mix the two cans and then add water. It looks like soup and they love it. The other two cats have…

Forgot to add the peanut butter. Add one or two TBSPs of Peanut Butter.

Reeses Peanut Butter Smoothy 1 or 2 Tbsps peanut butter 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 1/2 banana 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 Tbsp Hersheys Chocolate Syrup ice cubes It is so good. I watched them make it at a smoothy stand and copied it.

Amazing story. Congratulations on your success! Stories like this keep us all going!

Great Job! You look like you are in great shape, too!

Good Luck. If you need a friend, feel free to add me. It is fun to have friends that support each other along the way.

My Dad used to have that happen all the time. I think he had some kind of a hernia. Several people in his family (brothers and sisters) had the same thing once in a while. Definitely go to the Dr. ASAP.

The only meal I really cook is dinner. Breakfast I make a protein smoothy and lunch I make a salad with a couple of vegetables and one or two protein items (tuna, egg) and a healthy fat and one carb. For dinner I have two veggies and a meat. So, I just decide on a few meat dishes (such as salmon, chicken, talapia, meat…

Here's a recipe: 1/2 cup water 1 cp. green grapes 1/2 cp fresh pineapple chunks 1/2 medium banana peeled 2 cups spinach, lightly packed 1/2 cup ice cubes Makes 2 1/2 cups 87 calories per cup.

Ive had one for years, its a Polar and F7 sounds right. Mine does that too sometimes. I wet the whole back side of the sensor with water and put it on. I also make sure that I wash it off after exercising as it can get salt residue on the ridges and then it doesn't work properly. I would call the 1-800 # for Polar and ask…

Hi. I am 63 yrs old, Waist 32.5, hips 38,bust 36.5, Height 5.5, Weight 146.

Just be lucky that you don't have to know those people. They must be an awful to live with. And the person who watched you eat at the smorgesbord--that was none of his business! Don't waste another minute thinking about those evil, hateful people. Also, that is so sweet that you save food for the homeless animals.
