I love a good vodka tonic....and use diet tonic so total drink cal is only the calories in the vodka...around 80-90.....a splash of diet cranberrry add the perfect touch for no calories....

OK...THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PLATE ONLY!!!
-
OK...this monday-friday NO EATING OUT OF CONTAINERS!!....we all munch while we fix ours or our kids lunch, while cooking dinner, sneaking a handful of this to get us thru....none of that this week!!! Good luck!!

I am a sahm of 3...although two are in school...regardless, i munch on food as i prepare.....lunch or dinner.....weekends snacking periodically..."just a bite to get me through"....handFULL of crackers while i cook dinner.... I work out hard and can actually tolerate SOME of that. But...my challenge to myself is next…

I lost 10lbs using this great site over the summer and was maintaining it really well....then the holidays hit!! I was 141 Christmas Eve.....not today though!! So I am back to get back on track and monitor calories and remember just what a portion size is. My hubby did get me the polar f6 for Christmas....and it is great!…

my hubby bought me one for Christmas and i love it....it gets great ratings. It was 109.99$ Good luck.

I am in GA and have heard the same things...but nothing to that effect here......good thing 'cause i was running on fumes taking the kids to school!
-
I gained three lbs exactly overnight this time.....but keep exercising and eating right and it will come off as easily as it appeared!!
-
Gained exactly 3 lbs OVERNIGHT!!! Was feeling great...down to a good number, feeling good in my clothes...... BAM! Bloated like toad!! She's not even here but making her impending arrival well known.....kinda like Huricane Ike! UGGGGHHHH!!!

Becareful....I hope your flight isn't delayed.....tropical storm fay is hitting the coast of GA pretty hard....we live in the atlanta area and are hearing about it non-stop! Bring your raincoat....fay is just sitting and spinning! Just saw the dates you're going to be there....so Lord help us all if Fay is still hanging…

Obviously, genetics has a lot to do with it but: Pilates---great toning Yoga---great stretching Walking--can really help lengthen muscles compared to other aerobic activities..... To lose fat, you've got to do cardio....make sure your intensitiy level is high enough that your burning good calories... Good luck!!

I have never used the pills but I have used the gel. It is a recommended (one of the few) topical temporary solution to cellulite. You have to used it daily to see results. I noticed results in about a month. But it is temporary...if i slack off for a week or two, i can tell.....

I have not been posting consistently for about 3weeks. It shows on my ticker and on my thighs!! But, I am back on track this week and not looking back!!!! I 've been just taking a bit of a mental break from the obsession with calories and my scale. Glad to be back among the obsessed world of losing weight and being…

I was just saying that what your friend was told by her nutritionist isn't correct...you can't change fat into muscle; and even the most fit persons of any height/weight can benefit from a RD....you get the answers from an expert on the subject on nutrients and what you individually need AND i agreed with your thinking on…
-
Ok...first of all, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist...the homeless man on the street....a Registered Dietician is the expert; second, you can not turn fat into lean muscle; they are two different tissues; you can increase one and decrease the other but not turn fat into muscle or vice versa third, too much of…

Hey MFP!!! It's friday and time for the dreaded weekend yummy's and tasty's that halt our progress. My goal is to definitely weigh less on monday than I do today. It has been a bad food week for me and the scale has not been my friend! My plan of attack: Increase my water intake...haven't been good with that this week I…

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :happy: :flowerforyou: :happy: :flowerforyou: It's a great feeling to see it on the scale and on your ticker! Congrats!!

:noway: Their must be crack in T. Marzetti's light chunky blue cheese dressing......'cause I am addicted this week to it....putting it in everything..... someone really please come to my house and take it away!:sad: :

AAAANNNDD It just dawned on me that dehydration can present itself as hunger pains.......
-
I am soo hungry this week. I am usually in control and can talk my self out of eating the wrong things or even too much of a good thing..... But last night I was mixing yummy chunky lowfat blue cheese dressing with salsa and eating it with my chips!! Now this morning I am ready to knaw off my arm!! I did do 5.5 miles…

wine has 7cal per gram....closer to fat at 9cal per gram that carbs and protein at 4 cal per gram. make sure it's within your daily but also remember it is really closer to a fat..... i had an reg. dietician evaluation and i could only have 4 fat servings per day...alcohol counted in the fats just like butter and…
-
I tend to disagree with this...The body doesn't have a on/off/restart/shut-down mechanism that causes us to start at zero daily at a certain time....it is always functioning at some level. In nursing school, we were taught that a general 3 day cycle was a good basis for nutrient intake. The food you ate yesterday probably…
-
it must be in the air......let's get up early tomorrow and kick start that wagon.....I'll be walking about 6am....
-
This is something that might help some of us...a light bulb or "oprah" moment......Just thought if we could tell how we gained our weight, it might help others who don't really see what/how they might be treating themselves....AND it might be therapeutic for the writers of how we gained:wink: I know it is cliche:ohwell: ,…
-
:drinker: I love my wine too! Research that I have done states that drinking alchohol with food slows the metabolism of the actual food..... Alcohol is a toxin to the body so it becomes a priority to the liver to metabolize. Therefore the foods eaten with alcohol have the potential to "sit" longer and metabolize to fat…

Ok....so summer is pretty much over here in the south....kids going back to school soon, no more extended trips..... I got down to my best weight in a long time but went on vacation and put 4lbs back on....it's ok, I KNOW I CAN GET IT BACK OFF.....It felt soooo good to see that number on the scale I am just putting it out…
-
I just ate lunch...sandwich, grapes, 1/2 serving of cheetos---470 calories......and I am still hungry! Really hungry!! It was my hopes to eat super low cals for a day or two to get back on track....but I don't know if I can do that.....i am CRAVING carbs!!! UGGGHHHH...need to get out of house!
-
:flowerforyou: Been gone for a few days and looking forward to getting back in the swing of MFP!!
-
ok...how sad:frown: is it that i wouldn't even know how to join either of those sites??? I am so addicted to MFP I don't know if I should even investigate Facespace or Mybook (haha...i do know the names atleast) maybe i'll venture out ....... :indifferent: :ohwell: little scary for me....

It really is a developmental thing in that you are "removing" part of their body. Nails while asleep....maybe take him to a kids cuts' place that has movies and special chairs.....we have a few here in GA....they are awesome..... Good luck...entirely normal!!
