Monday QOTD: What is your biggest reason for losing weight? Vanity - I've always been pretty thin, but over the past few years I'd gotten some cellulite on the backs of my thighs (mostly gone now!) and other little things that started to bug me. Including some of my skinny jeans getting a little too skinny. Health - big…

I went to Sam's Club but managed to do OK. I shared a slice of pepperoni pizza with my other half (not healthy, but at least it was only half), and then we scored with the free samples! I'm definitely going to Sam's Club every Sunday now. They had a fresh fruit station w/ 4 types of fruit samples, Lara bar samples (!!!),…

I LOVE indian food, too! Well, I love food in general I think. :-\ My fave ethnics are thai, cuban, indian, and all the fattening japanese foods, like chicken katsu and tempura. Just got up and having some toast and a GIANT class of water. I love days when I wake up late because it means less time between breakfast and…

Hi Team, I joined MFP in May but went off the wagon for two weeks (family visiting and vacation). I joined to get healthy with a side goal of losing 10lbs, which I gained during my last semester of school. I've been back at it for a week. I've lost about 5-6lbs so far overall since joining, even with the two weeks of…

In fact, I think I'll have one right now! :)

frozen hershey's kisses, all the way! takes my craving away.

I'm 5'8 and 122 and 4 is a little big on me. I was a 4 when I was ~128. My waist is under 25 but my hips are like 36, so... belt action. :) i like the huge variety in this thread.

I have a **very** small frame and I'm at my goal of 122. Not so much this is what I was aiming for, but this is where I reached an equilibrium w/ my new, healthy eating habits and working out. Size 2-4.

I only had on the back of my thighs (going down relatively far, you could see a bit of it in short shorts) and it has almost completely doing away since I started working out about two months ago. Not sure what to attribute it to. I went from 130lbs, never working out, and eating nothing but junk to now 122lbs, working out…

Mayo, any gooey cheese (like on a pizza), cream cheese, coffee, most frostings, hot dogs, fast food burgers (except in-n-out!), sour cream, beer.

Friday night was super bad - at least 1000 cal of alcohol. Otherwise, pretty good. A few bites of bad stuff, but kept under my calorie goal.

Too many: Yogurt, oatmeal, milk, cottage cheese [yeah, I apparently have a problem with white foods...]

I just made an asian chicken salad. Chicken Breast, torn up into little pieces by hand (goal is to have chicken in every bite) A bunch of green onions A few baby carrots, sliced up (Usually mandarin oranges too, the kind that come in a clear plastic fruit cup at the store, but was out) I put all that in a plastic bag with…

Thanks everyone! SUPER helpful!

Hey there - I'm open and at 1400 and eating back exercise calories. :)

THE WHOLE CAKE? Damn! LOL

God, I love croissants.

haha, i love how they say that too. my inlaws are from the middle east, and they say everything (absolutely everything) is beautiful. a person, an emotion, a piece of chicken, the cat, how a piece of bread tastes. it cracks me up.

Great advice.

That sounds awesome.. angel food muffin! Wish we had Albertsons :(

Hey guys - My parents picked up an angel food cake from the Safeway bakery (pre-made), and we were amazed to find that one serving (and it's a huge serving 1/8 of the big cake) was only 100 calories! Now we're all hooked on it, but unfortunately they don't have it all the time. We looked at some angel food cake mixes in…

Yay, another dancer! :flowerforyou:

People's Choice: 127 Medical Rec: 125-164 Don't really have a goal. It used to be 118, but MFPers made me realize my goal was pretty silly. :)

I come from a ballet background - we always had to wear a leotard and tights so our muscles were visible during class. I've gotten so used to exercising in clothes that reveal muscles that I wear lots of stretchy, tight, lycra stuff to work out. It feels weird to me to wear big, baggy clothes. Luckily my home gym is full…

I also do the "biggest part" as my hip measurement (taking several measurements until I get the biggest one!) :laugh:

We went to P.F. Chang's last night for dinner... my parents had never been there. It was really good! The diet was okay there... I had about a quarter of my mom's chinese chicken salad, a quarter of my dad's sweet and sour chicken, some brown rice (didn't have any white rice!) and the spinach stir-fried with garlic. And…

We've had one of those 8 packs of Hostess cupcakes in my office all week... haven't had a single one! I'm pretty amazed at myself.

Your midsection is so curvy - it looks really great.

Whoa, I didn't know about this new taco bell stuff! Gonna check it out on their website! Thanks.

Hi! I'm new too and also love how easy this site is... entering foods is almost like a fun like game! lol
