My #1 tip I keep in mind when grocery shopping is to stay away from the "100 calorie snack pack" foods. These foods are highly processed and simply not good for you. Instead, look for natural almonds, not honey roasted or salted almonds. Here are my main staples on my grocery list: Multi-grain or whole wheat cereals:…

I here ya, TinaBina. I used to be like that. It's not an easy road. I fell of the wagon for 2 WEEKS in May. I was dealing with some things and I was just like to hell with it. Then, I had an epiphany. I realized, "No I'm not happy with how I feel and look and that I'm the only person that can change that about me." So I'm…

I definitely have 100+ pounds to lose. So far, I've lost 25lbs. I'm totally down to join the group. Add me. :happy:

The trick to showing pictures is to make the IMG in the link lower case. I finally figured this out like 2 days ago,

Oh yes, Timothy is hot.

OMG. I would say Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr. or Jack Gyllenhall. But my top pick would have to be.....Matthew Fox. Good lawd!!!

I hear ya. I'm a big girl (on a weight loss mission) and know not to even consider buying those "100 calories" packs EVER. They are a big hoax. Most of these "100 calorie" packs are processed food which isn't good for you any way. My nutritionist said just to make my own low calorie snacks and tha'ts what I do. Yea, it's…

Ha! I live in LAME Antonio too.

I have a Polar FT4 and I LOOOOVVEEE IT. Simple and accurate. I bought mine from Target for $99.99

Wow, this poem summed up my life in a nutshell. Inspiring. Thanks for the post.

Yea, I did WW and had the same issue plus I loathed tracking my points. MFP is way better since I can see carbs, fiber, protein, etc. I struggle with sodium too, lol. I'm eating so much healthier with MFP than what I did with WW. Good luck to you. :smile:

For me, it's definitely quality. After changing my eating habits, I've noticed I've become sort of a food snob. Creamy soups, grease-ladden foods, fried dishes, and sugar-loaded drinks just don't appeal to me anymore. Before, I used to LOVE Jack In the Box burgers, but now I don't even miss them. My weakness is pizza, but…

Okay, I thought it was just me that felt that way about weighing myself at night. However, I have noticed I weigh less after working out in the evening than what I weigh when I get home from work. Odd.

Forgot to add >>> GNC Multivitamins & Amin.O Energy supplement THESE ARE A MUST FOR MY DAILY ROUTINE!!

My staples are: skinless, boneless chicken thighs Silk Soy Milk veggies fruits Fage greek yogurt

I read one of Bob Greene's books " The Best Life Diet" and he used the idea of "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" because then you are eating more of calories in the morning - late afternoon time therefore you are burning more of calories during the day since you are usually moving…

Thanks gainskb ....for the last time. Beyonce is certainly my motivation.

Ultimately to answer your question though, I believe the shift of responsbility happened when we are able to make our own decisions for what we eat and how or if we exercise. In my household, when I was teenager my Mom was like you eat what I fix, which I didn't have a problem with since my Mom could throw down in the…

LJ, I've contemplated this question so much in the past year or so. Eventually, I had to tell myself that it doesn't whose to blame for why I'm overweight. What matters is that NOW, its up to ME to make a change if I want to change. You're responsible for your own happiness, sanity, and serenity. I wish you all the luck on…

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feed back.

Thanks!
