  • runners world DOES have some good training propgrams as mentioned. One thing that really works for me is joining a training team! I have Fleet Feet stores in STL so if you live near a Fleet Feet (or other running store) they will have training teams/programs or information on where to find them. I always had trouble with…
  • This whole week is tricky...but my plan is, relax and have fun. I have been doing good so one day/week won't kill me....I am just going to try and avoid seconds...or maybe thirds!
  • sooo....are you going to open your dairy? What calories are you currently eating? It may just be a matter of addin cals to your day...maybe you are not eating enough!

  • donuts all the way...I can avoid all sweets if needed but donuts are my kryptonite!
  • I never wanted LOOSE weight...that sounds all jiggly and horrible! I wanted to LOSE weight when I could no longer buy my favorite jeans without going over a size 12!!
  • Some designers/brands make boots for wide calves...look for those maybe. Also, booties and tights always look cute in my opinion!! If you can't find any you like than I am not sure what else to say. When I lost weight, it was not in my legs first but you just have to keep at it until your whole body is losing and you can…
  • Countries who have legalized drugs (not just pot) have seen addiction rates drop tremendously. Humane nature is to get what we can't have...give it to the people and it loses appeal. If it doesn't then it just seems like natural selection at work to me!
  • Its so funny, it wasn't until I found a man I loved that I decided I needed to get into shape! It was great as he was super supportive and such. But being wanted is great motivation and having a guy you like/love tell you that you look beautiful is way better than anyone else saying it! Good Luck!
  • get the word can't out of your vocab! If you think you CAN'T do anything then you won't. Try the C25K again, go slow...if you are stopping to catch your breath then you need to run slower...I run half marathons at a 5:2 pace. I run for 5 minutes and speed walk for 2. It works. Try classes or videos...there is always…
  • I eat Special K Protein Meal bars when I'm on the go. I like the chocolate peanut butter ones best. They have 180 cals (I am sure tons of carbs and sugars but I don't track those). They also have a decent amount of protein. I eat one at 630 and I am good to go until my lunch at 1130.
  • make a recipe for it. you look up each item and add it to the recipe.
  • I think it is more because of the food they use...not how it is prepared. As I have worked there before everything is processed and fake!!! Most their meats are a processed turkey base...their fresh bread remains frozen for weeks before thawed and is loaded with HFCS. The only veggies sliced daily are tomatoes and…
  • Thats not what he was referring to...he is referring to the idea of a "cheat day" that often goes around MFP
  • wow...you are one angry fellow aren't you? The purpose of it being a blog post or a forum post means its not scientific fact but written by a regular person. If you don't like it stay off MFP!
  • Nice reply to a dbag comment! BTW-STL FTW!
  • wow...this made me giggle...it is so true!
  • Champagne is the best bet as you can mix! You can mix with OJ as everyone suggested. It also tastes great with muddled strawberries or other berries. Also, if you get the white wine you can mix with club soda to get the bubbly affect and cut down on some of the wine taste. Two good options for non wine drinkers. I myself…
  • I indulged in Halloween candy! I went over for the day and I am happy...candy is not the enemy...how we handle it is the enemy!
  • You write what I used to think for so long...I am still working to be the old me and its hard work. But the more fun I become the happier I get!

  • I would love to weigh ANY number that starts with 14...so I still have a few to go. This should get me down to a nice comfy 6 in pants!
  • So many people on here restrict so many calories and I do not know how they plan to make a lifestyle out of it! I am set for .5lb a week weight loss, eating about 1800 cals a day. On the weekends I tend to go over, during the week I keep myself more in check and I do work out when I can. Some weeks I lose a bunch sometimes…
  • My boyfriend thinks its INSANE I (we) spend $150 on groceries each week. I explain that all the food we need to make the dinners I cook every night come to about 50ish dollars. He refuses to admit that the extra 100 comes from all the extra crap like the processed foods, cookies, cereal and lunchable type things him and…
  • Its official...its been made and eaten and it was DELICIOUS! Clearly the consistency of pumpkin pudding not pie...but with the whipped cream and crumbled graham crackers it was DANG GOOD!
  • That is not true. All nutritionalists agree coffee can be counted as water intake.
  • the 15oz can size. 2 regular sized boxes that make 4 servings each of pudding.
  • this time of the year is the hardest for me...I indulge in pumkin spice lattes, pumpkin beer and of course pumpkin PIE...I am hoping this low cal dessert will help me ward off some pumpkin cravings in the future!
  • I almost fit the bill! I am 30 with an almost 6 year old step daughter who lives with us 50% of the time. Even just 50% of the time and she can keep me overly busy...don't know how REAL moms do it!!!
  • I may feel as I am on again off again...but really I am dedicated to MFP and I will log the days I go over. So when I feel I fell off the wagon and wondered why I gained a few pounds back I have my diary staring me in the face telling me why!!!! Its good to start again!
  • bump...more replies please!
