my new *breakfast to go* Kahlua Protein Shake 1 scoop vanilla protein powder ( I use Jillian Michael's) 1 cup (8 oz) Silk Original Almond Milk, UNsweetened 1 tsp. imitation vanilla 1 T. Da Vinci Kahlua flavored syrup (found with coffee flavorings) Mix and go. I prefer to mix it up the night before and put it in a drink…

You do realize that picture of Little Debbie was taken when she was just a kid. She ain't so *little* anymore. And she's here on MFP, incognito, lurking in forums as a troll.

That's a good plan, if you can find the nutritional info. But eating out, to me, also means going to someone's house. Generally it's the weekends that this occurs. If I know in advance, I'll eat lighter towards the end of the week ( not going under 1200 calories) and make sure I've exercised that AM and I eat lighter the…

My thoughts EXACTLY. Your profile states you're still recovering from injuries. I was in maintenance mode until a head on collision this fall- in which I sustained less injuries than my daughter but a high ankle sprain, wrist fracture AND soft tissue damage to these areas and my neck/shoulders (whiplash) have made my rehab…

Been there, done that. I'm married, not going steady with my boyfriend's class ring.:laugh:

Some of us want to wear it now. Having it resized is a permanent thing, once I've reached maintenance and KEPT it off.

Oops, sorry. I labelled the picture in my album, forgot to add it to the message body. Revised my original post. It's a snell knot, made with 14 lb. test line. Hope you or someone you know can tie the knot for you.

you log it, and you start over. You can't undo the past, but dwelling on it just adds to the DIScouragement and it becomes a never-ending cycle. Close your diary if you need to, but log it all. Sometimes- not always- you can get in some exercise to help off-set your *not so good* choices and assessing the *damage* is the…

Peruse other people's diaries for ideas too.......that helped me a LOT when I was first starting out, having NO idea what were good, healthy, portable food stuffs...... I'm back into the work force after an accident, and I've slipped back into the lazy disordered eating and while I think I just don't have the time to plan…

I don't know about you, but I have a hard- almost impossible- time even FINDING nutritional content for any alcoholic beverage, not even on their own websites.... It's a conspiracy I tell 'ya I feel so duped- here all this time I thought if none were listed, they were calorie free.........

I don't add any more sugar to anything if I can do without. so I always opt for UNsweetened. IF I want a little sweetness, I add my own, whether it's white granulated, splenda or stevia and my own imitation vanilla if I want the flavoring. While I doubt I'll ever pour a tall glass and dip my cookies in it, I really like it…

May 11, can't believe I've looked thru ALL these msgs.... I can't sleep now.......ugh and I'll bet I'll be the thread killer too (sigh)

Trying on pullover type sports bra in dressing room, and getting *stuck* in it.... it was so twisted up and I couldn't untwist it to get it on the rest of the way OR off......and and to add INJURY to INSULT.......I pulled a shoulder muscle in the process I went thru the gambit of emotions from wanting to sit and cry, to…

Aim for a healthier lifestyle, lower your portions in what you would eat normally, and find *something* to do that gets you up and on your feet- suggestion: Park further away, push shopping cart back into store, etc. small steps, added together, make BIG differences. You just keep building on those steps. While in the…

Depends on *what* I'm spraying- non stick pans are supposed to be just that- non stick= and I learned the hard, expensive way- ignoring that and using sprays (especially cheaper versions) causes the coating to peel off and void the warranty. If I want some oil and want to forgo the extra fat/calories I'll use I can't…

I'm a fellow PAian (is that a word?) feel free to friend me I've been here for a while, trying to figure out how to maintain this lifestyle in a way that makes life do-able.

While you can break the will, if you crush the spirit, you no longer ENcourage, but DIScourage. Kick me in the butt, smack me upside the head if I need it, but humiliate and mock me and you are nothing but an overpaid ego-maniacal bully

The salad dressings taste like wallpaper paste. I tried them all in the beginning. since then, I've just found lighter fat free name brand dressings (like WishBone, Kraft) I've just learned to use less and toss my salad well to coat the salad without having it swim in it. That cut down on the calories without sacrificing…

Note to self: Next time I'm in a binging mood, refer to this picture. It'll kill any appetite I have. Promise. now off to puke.....

BUMP I'm game to try anything healthy AND chocolate- who'd have thunk?

going to try this!

WHAT a PHENOMENAL TRANSFORMATION! You've got to feel even more terrific than you look!! WOW, thank you for DEBUNKing this myth- and I'd never heard of Staci, found this link to share her story- Equally INSPIRING! I'm really going to look into this now.......…

I am a grandmother to five (#6 on the way)........ @ the beginning, I went by the generic "GRANDma" but as my relationship with all of them grew, each set of grandkids started their own a term of endearment One set calls me "Grandma Loves Me" and the other calls me "Gummie" THOSE names are the most special= when they're…

SOMEONE PLEASE be kind and post a link to this recipe- I've licked the screen and it's just not enough Never mind, found it: http://picky-palate.com/2011/01/06/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/

AMEN.......and sometimes it's a few of those people AT those gatherings that cause the stress. Stay focused and Don't let those people de-rail you...

Agreed^ for those of us who don't trust our own *whatever looks good* way of measuring

^^ AMEN! I think you've won the funniest forum topic title to date~ Doing a {{HAPPY DANCE}} for you!!

If you're about to prepare for a wrestling match, this question makes sense but if you're gauging everyday life, stepping on the scale is a way to measure how well you've done with your food choices from one week to the next...and adjust accordingly. I liken my scale to a map/GPS........if I find myself getting too far off…

bump Q? what do you consider a serving size????

that's a HUGE victory, my dear. there is NO SUCH thing as a *minor* NSV.........every wise choice adds up, just like every not so smart one added pounds to my body. Often I treat myself like a little kid- and send myself to bed early if I think I can't be trusted with the pantry after I'm all alone. I pout, but it becomes…
