Welcome back! Feel free to add me and I'll cheer you on!

I certainly do! I only seem to drink once every couple of months :drinker:

Last summer I decided it was time to lose the 15-20 pounds I had gained over the past few years. I was wasting money every month on a gym membership because my work hours are too long and most days I get home after the gym closes. I bought myself a treadmill so that I had no excuses in regards to exercise. I did give…

Feel free to add me and look through my diary...but I'm not very creative with my meals :happy:

Always looking to add friends to my support system...feel free to add me :happy:

I'm 29 and I've never had a flat tire... (knocks on wood)

I am 5'3", 125 lb. I have my daily goal set to my BMR which is 1,270.

I have a similar issue. I used to eat whole bags of chips in a day. I don't want to feel like I can't have a treat, so I buy 100 calorie bags of cool ranch doritos. That way, when I am craving chips I can get a taste of what I want without eating too many calories. I also try to drink a whole bottle of water before…

They have some complete salad kits that has the lettuce, other veggies, and dressing in the bag. I like the complete butter salad kit -- it has almonds, artichokes, and radishes. I can't remember the kind of dressing. The bag has 3 servings of 110 calories each. I usually eat the whole bag as a meal :bigsmile: Veggie…

I stalk food diaries :bigsmile:

I meet all criteria except I don't live in Canada! 1. You have an Open Food Diary -- Yes! 2. You're actively logging food and exercise (if exercised) -- Yes! 3. You're Age 24-34 -- I am 29 4. You're Height is 5'3 - 5'5 -- I am 5'3" 5. You only have 40 lbs or less to lose as of now -- I have 5-10 lb left 6. You eat above…

Vegetarian here :=) I love being a vegetarian. I never feel deprived of anything. I recommend taking a multivitamin. Some of my favorite things: Eggs with avocado and salsa Tofu Chili Spaghetti squash with olive oil and feta cheese Tofu chicken nuggets (easy dinner) Quorn brand "chicken" with gruyere cheese Spaghetti with…

We spend $150 per week on just groceries for 2 adults. We buy the majority of our food at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, but do buy some bulk items at BJ's Wholesale. We rarely eat out so the $150 does include some "treats" for weekend meals -- like salmon and organic pizza :-)

I struggle with the weekends myself, but lately I seem to be handling them better. If I know that I am going to go out for dinner I prepare for it. I will take a look at the restaurant's menu online and choose a meal and try to estimate the calories before going to the restaurant and then eat a small breakfast and lunch in…

Feel free to add me! I promise to support you!

Great news! I was a little concerned about having to wear a chest strap!

Oh great! The FT4 seems pretty basic which I why I was leaning toward the FT40. Thank you! :happy:

I might be burning a lot more calories than I realize and need to listen to my body and eat more! I take 1/2 of what my treadmill says as what I burn. I was looking at the Polar FT4 and the Polar FT40 because I definitely need a HRM. That's too bad about your knee...do you have access to an elliptical?

I always load up on protein after a workout but I don't know what I'm doing wrong to feel so hungry on days I exercise!

It happens every that I exercise!!! I don't want to go to bed hungry so I do eat something, but it seems like it is counterproductive if I eat back all my exercise calories and more. Bah.

Pescetarian here and my diary is open to friends. Any other vegetarians/pescetarians feel free to add me!

WOW, I just ate TJ's peanut butter 30 minutes ago but not that variety! Thanks for the info!

Feel free to add me! The more support the better :bigsmile:

Vegetable marsala burgers topped with mango ginger chutney!

I use allrecipes.com and just search for "vegan". A lot of creative dishes pop up! I'm a vegetarian... can't quite make the leap to being a vegan! Good luck to you!

Feel free to add me. I'm not the best runner but I am trying to improve! :bigsmile: I am going to start with a 5k since I've never done a race before.

Hi! When you are on track are you restricting yourself too much? That might be why you find yourself going overboard on things like cupcakes. I try and have a treat every day as long as it only takes up less than 100 calories. 10 jelly beans, a handful of chips, a square of dark chocolate. I know it isn't healthy food, but…

Feel free to add me! You seem like a very upbeat person! I am always looking for friends who try to lose weight the healthy way. No starvation, no over-exercising, eating healthy! I have seen some people on here who have a calorie goal of 1,200 and they eat 800 calories and exercise so much that at the end of the day they…

My dog doesn't eat much! She is so picky about her food and treats... I wish she'd eat more!

One warning regarding the shirataki noodles. They come in a bag in water (40 calories in the whole bag). The liquid they are in stinks so you have to rinse them off before cooking them. Once you rinse them off you can marinate them in a sauce if you'd like or just cook them in the sauce. I love cooking them in the wok with…
