Fantastic! Well done!

Well done, Mr. TFT! Mark up a big win next to today's date. Thank you for the well written account of your battle, and for making me realize that I'd like to try the grilled chicken at KFC as a fine alternative to the an egg white sandwich at DD when I'm looking for a good, fast lunch on the run.

OK, I'll bite. I raced in the Close To The Coast 5k in Freeport, ME Saturday. I've been training my 5k times around 41-42 minutes, so I raced to to complete, rather than to compete. I was pretty fired up about my first race and was influenced a bit by the people around me so I ran the race in 32:48, way ahead of my plan.…

Thanks for the post - I'll go look for these dressings and give them a shot. I'd expect to see low cal, but not zero cal dressings. I'm picturing something like water with spices floating around in it - I've got to find out what they're really made of. =D

Try this - I added it to the database this morning. My sister just started a 21 day vegan challenge and this is on the menu. This is fantastic oatmeal, is quick and easy like the instant oatmeal packets, and is inexpensive. Listed on MFP as: NutritionMd.Org - Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (Vegan)…

Be sure to bring some entertainment is you use a stationary bike. I find that if I have some music, an audio book or plant the bike in front of a TV I'm much less likely to get bored and wander off. Sometimes i get lost in my entertainment and forget that I'm peddling for a bit. I recommend using a real bike outdoors if…

Bump!

Everybody is different. for the first month, I way outpaced the predictions in my rate of loss (17lb in 30 days). After that, I kinda stalled out and have been holding near the same weight, but my shape has been improving noticeably. So the predictions are more of a ballpark idea that will vary a bit for each individual…

One of my friends is in her second month of P90X it is definitely working for her.

I weigh in with the Wii fit several times per week, however I don't record all of my weigh ins here. I also fluctuate a couple of pounds every day, but I ignore that as I've learned that its just how my body works. I try to weigh in once per week as my official weigh in for mfp. I also record significant decreases in my…

It looks to me like the above comments are right on track. I also want to add that your weight may plateau sometimes. For example, I lost 17lb during my first month, then I was stuck at the same weight for 41 days before I began losing again. I could see and measure differences in my shape during that time, but the scale…

"Hello me, meet the real me..." I have a few Megadeth tracks scattered in my play lists. I listen to a pretty wide spectrum of musical genre, some of which I admit to publicly. My favorite album is Godsmack's self titled first album.

Hit him again!

Bump FTW!

Hrm, I might just try to massage this into a lactose free (and/or vegan) version using margarine (veggie oil), soy/rice/almond milk and soy based cheddar cheese such as Veggie Shreds. I love to cook great meals, but I could live on a pan of good mac and cheese for about 3 days a week, especially with a crispy bread crumb…

I've had a delicious regular popcorn recipe that included tossing the finished product with 'nutritional yeast' and dill weed. I'd like to try it on roasted cauliflower. I'll probably add the seasoning after cooking the cauliflower.

Try a Dunkin Donuts Egg White and Turkey Sausage Flatbread Sandwich. It has 300 calories and is good on the run.

Lol. Thanks for sharing.

I find that quitting the things that I like, but don't need is a task better achieved over time. Maybe try this: Measure the toppings that you use on the fresh fruits and veggies, and reduce the amount of the toppings that you allow yourself over time. Also, look at alternative toppings such as low fat dressings or lite…

I've been drinking 2 tablespoons of ground chia seed (Lifemax Mila) in juice nearly every day since September. Starting the first day, I had significantly reduced blood sugar issues. I almost never have problems with low blood sugar anymore.

I'm stuck on a bit of a plateau also. Mine isn't quite as long standing - perhaps a couple of weeks, but it's a bit frustrating. I'm planning on a little hike Tuesday afternoon to burn about a days worth of calories. I hope that helps out. I'd like to hear of other people's plateau breaking experiences as well. Keep it,…

I count only plain water or very minimally flavored water as water. Water is my drink of choice, rather than an alternative that I'm forced into. I find that it reduces my allergies into near non-existence, so I've been using it as a treatment for years. I always log other beverages against my caloric intake, but I don't…

I'm not qualified to give medical advice, however for conversation purposes... I was told the following formula by a nutritionist relative: (weight in pounds)/2 = # ounces of water that should be consumed daily. For example: a 200lb person should drink 100oz of water per day. This water consumption should be spread fairly…

Win! (yes, I'm a fan of failblog.org) I've always like the fried (evil) won ton wrappers that are served at the Chinese restaurants. I bet they'll bake some instead if I ask on my next visit.

I've seen some really great fitness programs intended for people to start from scratch posted around the forums lately. For example, Google the Couch To 5 K and the hundred push up challenge. Any cardio workout helps reduce fat in all areas if you stick with it. It's fairly hard to direct your body to burn it from one…

Ahh, the butchery of the English language. I TOO believe TOO many people fail TO use THEIR TOs and THEREs in the correct manner. I believe THEY'RE TOO dependent on THEIR spell check programs. THERE's only one more than TWO of each of these words out THERE. OK, maybe the use of TWO was a bit of a…

My plan is to use this site continuously, or at least as needed after I've lost enough weight. I'll log in nearly every day forever if that's what it takes to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
