Please send me a request if you are on keto too! People with open diaries preferred!

OHHHH I really love this idea!!

Thanks for all the replies!! Seems like the consensus is log it on the day that you eat it....but....what if it is past midnight but you haven't slept...that's technically the next day....grey area LOL...... (I'm kidding - mostly)

Chicken Taco Soup - VERY DELICIOUS - Kids love it too! http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2010/01/dinner-tonight-crockpot-chicken-taco.html

Here is the link to balsamic chicken with veggies. We had it tonight and everyone loved it! (The recipe also includes nutritional information!) http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=377352

Yes, as long as you stick to the budgeted amount that MFP tells you, then you will lose weight.

Heart Rate Monitor.

get a heart rate monitor and then you'll know exactly how many calories you burn, no matter what the activity is...

I think they are a gimmick.....but who knows. I won't lose any of my money finding out!

Bison Burgers w/ Blue Cheese = YUUUUMMMMM!!!! :love:

just find a similar kind of soup in the food database and use that instead... if you don't feel confident with those numbers, then compare a few brands of that type of soup and pick one that has the most believable calories etc.

make sure to drink plenty of fluids & eat something with fiber (or you'll be sorry!)

I second that on the Polar FT7!! I love mine! I got one on ebay for about $85, but they retail at about $100-$120.

I <3 <3 <3 Zumba Wii!!!! It is a great workout and it is really fun! I am always sweaty at the end of the 45 minute classes. I just got a HRM in the mail, so I will try it out and see exactly how many calories it burns.

I think you should- at least for curiosity's sake to see how many calories it is. I'm kind of curious myself. It might motivate you to be more active! If you do, post the calorie count and time on here, I dare you! lol

yes- there is a category for aerobic dancing I believe....but the best way to know how many calories you burned it to get a heart rate monitor. you can do it as long as you want. I'll usually go for an hour. It has a lot of breaks between songs, so it isn't really that vigorous. If you want a really good Wii dance workout,…

They are yummy, but not filling...but good for a craving.. if you are really hungry though, go for fruit or something to get more quantity of food for the same amount of calories.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I guess I'll be going with a Polar of some variety.... maybe f6 or ft7...

I :love: SABRA SUN-DRIED TOMATO HUMMUS!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! :happy: :heart: :love:

get a pack of crackers- they are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-250 calories

that's just to get you to commit to some number. Plus, when you enter your exercise, it keeps up with how many minutes you've done and how many are in your goal. But the cool part about the exercise though, is that you 'earn' more calories that you can eat. For example, if you burn 300 calories by exercising, your total…

Do most of the polar one's have chest straps? It doesn't look like it from the pics.... ?

So it seems like most of you like the Polar varieties...... are there any other comparable brands that you can recommend?

I <3 Wii Zumba

Don't feel bad if you are seeing a lot of food related advertisements....I don't mean to imply that you are searching for junk food online. It is probably because you have been searching and going to sites that deal with diets, fitness, calories, etc....like this one. It doesn't matter that you're trying to be healthier,…

oh funny, now I see the milky way ad too on this same page when I refreshed it... I wonder if it has anything to do with the words 'milky way' being typed in this page a few times...

the advertisements that you see are targeted particularly for you. Not everyone sees the same ads. Advertisers track your browsing activity with cookies and try to send you ads that are relevant to want you are browsing. For example, right now, my ads are showing a weight loss thing and southwest airlines (I was searching…

I was just wondering the same thing. It seems like some people swear by eating your exercise calories and other say it makes them plateau.... it is very confusing!

Interesting.... I've seen lots of posts saying you must eat your exercise calories back so not to go into starvation mode, break down muscle, and gain fat as soon as you eat more.... but it seems like people on this string say that was causing a plateau for them..... confused. :-/
