Thanks for this information. I've been using the circuit training 20 minutes from MFP and only got 178 calories burned. Good to know I'm actually burning a few extra calories!

Oh boy, this one is going to be tough....splurge! :drinker:

5'3" and 15 more pounds to lose. I'm at 140 right now and would like to get to 125. I think anything under that would make me look unhealthy, but we'll see once I reach my goal.

I say just eat it. Not all Chinese food is bad. You just have to order wisely and portion control is the key. Try to skip the rice or, if you can, substitute it with brown rice. Also try Trader Joe’s, they have lots of frozen Chinese food that’s premade. There’s orange chicken, some stirfries, chicken wontons, and also…

bump I think I get it now....:drinker:

Bump Haven't lost anything for a a couple weeks....argh! so I'll have to try this

@jhall1218 I will try your suggestions on Pho as I tend to load up on the noodles when I make it at home. At the restaurants I order the small bowls. I'm a Bun Bo Hue addict! But I think that may have a lot of fat in it, so I'll just get the Pho Tai next time and occasionally have the Bun Bo Hue. I'm the same on the dim…

I should be getting my dvd today, so I'm in! Has anyone tried this before and know if this will be bad for my knees? I had a knee injury at the beginning of this year but I'm fully recovered. I tried Zumba last week and it had a bit of jumping activity, so my knee started hurting. I really want to try this program though!!

bump great article!

Mine is open too. I eat a lot of ethnic foods

Getting so chickened out...LOL! That was very helpful..thanks!

Thank you. Bacon ricotta sounds delish!

Ahhh, Hong Kong cafe style food like baked porkchop over fried rice. We often go to these types of cafes. I'll look for healthier choices on the menu.

I make all different ethnic Asian food, from chinese. filipino to korean. Since my family only likes asian food, that's what i generally make. Occasionally I'll make Italian, like spaghetti. Thanks for the link!

Yes I agree, moderation is the key!

Hsin, Do you utilize the recipe tool on this site for your chinese recipes?

Gosh, I'm getting that a lot these days from my Chinese family....:( So I end up taking a bite and then I want more! I must learn to resist. I'll try not to let it get to me. Thanks for the tips and congrats on such a success on your weightloss. I'm impressed!

OMG, seriously?? I'd rather eat pancakes then. I'll look at your blog for the recipes. I make mapo tofu too, so it will be interesting to see your recipe. Thanks so much!

OMG, thanks guys for the helpful tips. I've transitioned to eating brown rice too. I try to make my own food, but when I make dishes like pork adobo or thai chicken curry for the rest of the family, omg it's so hard to resist eating only one piece. Yikes!
