i need to buy me a hula hoop!

you should watch Parenthood, he's just as funny, even though there are a lot of serious issues.

i've from NorCal. Do people really say Are-y-gen?! hahahhaa

i've seen the website! I'm going to start this weekend!

good luck! it's so helpful having support at work since most people are there 40 hours a week and a lot of treats sneak into the break room!

lol! love this!!! good job!

done. :)

yay ! quitting smoking is such an amazing feat in itself , i know how hard it can be! and everything else you have/are accomplishing is very inspiring! :drinker:

welcome! the iphone app saves my life!

do you have a trader joes out there? they have pre packaged handful of nuts and berries! it's perfect!

hey. i try and be a vegan 95% of the time. I love sushi too much to give up fish. Vegan MFP friends is helpful!

i love all you MFP people! Now i just want to throw the donuts away to make sure no one else eats them! hahaha

yes!

calorie dense foods are foods that are high in calories for not that much food... for example a cup of cucumber and a cup of raisins are the same "amount" but a big difference in calories, raisins calories are a lot more concentrated and cucumber is made up of a lot of fiber and water. some other calorie dense foods are…

it's not hard for me AT ALL! i eat a handful of cashews almonds and cranberries and boom 210 calories! brown rice! yikes! i dont eat enough greens like i should , but i'm still learning what i like. i just made baba ghannouj which is an eggplant mash and sooo yummy on romaine leaves! and sometimes i just leave off veggies…

i was disappointed in this one. : ( i'm going to start Hunger by Sharman Russel... then attempt The Stand by Stephen King.

i poke holes in them and just nuke it in the microwave for 4 minutes. im making it right now and gonna put it in my oatmeal. good preworkout meal!

sweet !!!

about two months... but it will be more difficult for you because you are already pretty low in weight (from what your profile says) .. i also eat a pretty strict vegetarian diet, no cheese, milk or meat... so you cant set yourself up, thinking you will lose that much in the same amount of time.

you just gotta suck it up and do it :) whenever your brain tells you to do something that you want, do the opposite... you want an extra serving a dinner, dont. you dont wanna go to the gym, go... keep a picture of yourself at your highest weight close to you, in your purse or on your cell and look at it when you are about…

go walk for 30 minutes, to get 100+ more calories :)

my friends make fun of me because if anything has fake sugar in it, i can taste it... and i don't know how people can stand the taste! sweet and low is the worst with splenda a close second. REAL sugar or Honey is the way to go for me.

my weakness was cheese. i put it on everything! and would literally crave it if i didnt eat it... i gave it up cold turkey for Lent... and pretty sure i wont add it back into my diet. I eat a lot more avocados now. : )

haha me too!!! i've lost 20, and my pants are just kinda lose... not down a size yet.

that sounds like fun! i used to do mini tri's like that at the gym. but nothing compares to open water swimming! it's great! enjoy that desert, i think you deserve it!

sometimes one post is all someone needs for the day. and yours was mine. time to shut this computer down and do something! :)

i just love the sauna for relaxing me!

i TOTALLY understand, it makes you just wanna toss it out, and just not eat at all! homemade is the best for sure! but what can you do?!

i just graduated college, so i know all about the hardships!!! and my dad was told he was pre-diabetic, so i made him an account and he watches his carbs and sugar! it's so helpful! and now my mom has one too... and both of them check up on my food diary and i keep tabs on theirs! it's a great site! welcome!

how is she with veggies?! spinach has a good amount of protein. (100 calories of spinach has about the same protein as 100 calories of chicken... granted 100 calories of spinach is about 14 cups... but you get my drift), you can blend a cup or two with soy milk and cocoa, and you can't even taste the spinach! i also love…
