Whatever you are making, it would probably taste better if you used boneless skinless chicken thighs. Chicken breast are just so bland and dry.

Tried Weight Watchers. Gained weight. Lost money.

I've got a question: What do you consider light weights? I'm up to 8-15 lbs. hand weights, as soon as I can move up, I intend to, but am I still in the "light weight" range. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I'm 5'8" and 157 lbs. I've never had an athletic or muscular build.

I'm 5 ft 8 in. Currently at 157. My Wii-fit wants me to weigh 145 lbs. Truth be told, I'd be happy anywhere in the 140s.

True you can't spot reduce, but do the squats and lunges. They'll look more shapely. You'll feel better about them.
-
I know that there is no such thing as spot reducing, but start working those abs anyway. As you increase the muscle you will feel better about them. I recommend full sit-ups and side planks.

Drink a glass of water when you're tempted to snack. Keep sweet gum at hand.

Scary and untrue. You don't know her situation well enough to make this statement.

Cook in. Try www.cookinglight.com.

I recommend side planks. My love handles haven't gone away yet (still early days), but they feel a lot more toned and that's keeping me going.

Don't forget to drink water. Dehydration can make you groggy.

What are stickies?

Confused about this too. Having read posts above: still unsure.

Are you challenging yourself enough? Try slowing down. One count up, two or three to return. Mix up your routine. I thought if I didn't do the same exercises over and over I wouldn't be able to track improvement. Now I do a variety of exercises (all from the web, mostly popsugar.com) and I can feel I've really started to…

I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-15-Minute-Boot-Series/dp/B00EDM2QXK Divided in four 15 minute sessions.

I think you should add in some planks. http://www.mensfitness.com/weight-loss/burn-fat-fast/how-to-do-a-plank-a-single-move-for-stronger-abs Do side planks too once you can hold for 30 seconds.

Almost everything I cook comes from www.cookinglight.com. The portions they recommend are unrealistically small (especially for my husband,) but the food is really good.

This happens to me if I stop exercising for several weeks and then start again.
-
I find in general when I buy cook books I usually only try one or two of the recipes in it and overall feel like I've wasted money, but I've been finding a lot of great recipes for free on the Cooking Light magazine's website. Most of the ones I've tried have already been entered in the MFP database too.

I stopped loosing weight when I tried dropping my calories down to 1200. Try doing about 1450 for a couple of weeks. Well, just saying it worked for me.
-
"Do you track the amount of calories you eat? For me to lose, I have to weigh and track my food very precisely on a digital scale." I had to do this too before I could start loosing. D.

The beautiful Spring weather we were teased with last week was really helping. I think I've only logged one mile so far this week. (Come back sun!)

A breakfast that sticks with me for a long time is a fried egg. I mix diced canned tomatoes wit a can of rinsed black beans and add salt, pepper and a little taco seasoning. Top the eggs with the tomato and beans. It tastes better than it sounds like it would.

Heidi, I started putting a mileage tally in the comments of my work outs. D.

How do you eat on 1200 cals? I can only do it if I don't eat out. Even restaurants one would consider healthy put me over the calorie count.
