LMAO... is this from FAMILY GUY? we watch too much of that

I have no idea what sport your talking about lol. But I feel the same way about the Oakland Raiders, they let me down each time. And once I considered maybe switching to the 49ers, they are leaving SAN FRANCISCO!!!! so frustrating. its a shame when they take a "historically named" team and displace them into an awkward out…

Hey my name is also christina! I would get the eliptical. I would get it because its a lot easier on the knees and I don't feel like I could get "thrown" off lol. Also, because I've always been heavy, my knees bend inwards >< like that lol, so walking in a "straight line" can be dificult for me. Pick the one that YOU feel…

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CRYSTAL LIGHT!!!! However, I never count them.... There also crystal light-LIKE products that are 0 CAlories, like Mio, and store brand drink mixes :) THOSE are also my favorites. ( Ihate the peach/green tea worst FAIL EVER!!!) lol

Hmmm... well I'm not THERE yet... I've still got a long ways to go but I miss the way my back looked in HS and my collar bone area. Working to get back down to that by the end of the year!!@

Hey! I had the exact same problem. I'm flat footed and so all the tennis shoes with the molded arches made my feet sting and burn after walking. I bought a pair of SAUCONY tennis shoes... and they are the BEST shoes I have ever worn. I do only wear them for walks and working out, but at the end of a 5MPH long walk, the…

I used to work at a preschool tailored for children with special needs. I had a coworker (who when she made a mistake) would say "I'm retarded! or I'm such a retard or that (adult) is slow" I just just got kind of close to her and whispered (we were somewhat close) "such n such, it's NOT okay to use those types of words…

I like a serving of EDAMAME soy beans in the shell, steamed.... ooooh they are sooo good. I think It's the psychological thrill of getting them out of the shell in your mouth thats the most fulfilling. I don't really like MUKIMAME (which is a bag full of just the soy beans) plus you'd get more calories per serving with…

check the box you used, and edit you recipe under RECIPES, I'm sorry I mean the recipe you used or whatever source to make those original pancakes. GOOGLE is the best!

I have an app on my garminfone that does the same thing! its AWESOME!!!!

I agree with sunshine, if you are HONEST with yourself, you'll begin to know that what you are getting ready to eat (measure before eating) will put you over. This makes you more accountable for what you do eat, and helps you make better choices. You may also be stuck because you continuously consume less than 1200…

lmao, thats hilarious!!!

white jasmine rice with a serving a green beans and a salmon fillet with Soy Voy sauce

depending on what your budget for groceries is.... You might want to check out drgourmet.com. They plan your meals out to the T for 2 weeks, provide grocery lists, recipes, and caloric values on EVERYTHING

that is hilarious!!!!

oh thank goodness for you all. for a good while I almost thought my PAM spray added a ton of unknown calories and that I was doing this all wrong. I guess it makes sense if you dont think too hard about it. lol. *ditsy moment*

you are absolutely right, I shouldn't have said it was the mexican way. maybe i thought it was this way, since both sides of my family act the same way. My dad too, is from SLP. its great that your mom has always been healthy minded, i wish I had that type of support to keep me going. It's true, but i dont understand where…

@ WWE_CHICK I think you are a really strong person to be able to pull away and just not mention it to people what your plans are. This is good because you PREVENT negative comments. I guess I really thrive on the approval of my family/friends and being told how great what I'm doing is. and because of this, it hurts me so…

wow this is great, and the whole time... i thought that if i worked out, i got to reward myself with MORE food, but still at or below my daily budget lol.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind replies and advice. I'm pretty new here and never knew such an excellent support system existed. that was also FREE! You've all made me feel so much better, and have each given me a new tool to arm myself with. Thank you all again. This place is truly a diamond in the rough.

This was a great comment, I was one of those people who also pressed my thinner relatives to have second helpings. I just realized i did that just this past weekend when i made breakfast at my parents house. I figured, they had the room and could squeeze it in. I feel bad for it now, especially because I didn't even finish…

I have to say i completely agree with you. I couldn't help but laugh at how "on target" you were about things that never really crossed my mind before. Thank you, I will definitely keep this in mind and use it in the near future to defend myself

Thank you everyone for your sincere motivation and support. I agree with the idea of serving myself more than i intend to eat to leave some on the plate. I am sort of a vacuum and will mostly make it disappear if its on my plate. I'll give it a go when i have more sense of control and can "eyeball" my portion sizes better.…

you WILL lose the weight by june. If you are gaining muscle, muscle burns more fat. you'll see your pounds melt right off

hello my dear. I RARELY tell people this, but I too suffered from an eating disorder for many years. actually to this day i fight the strong urge to binge and purge. I lost over 150 lbs in 2 years due to my disorder. when my family found out how i lost the weightm they fought the battle with me to regain the weight. It was…

oh yes, and whole wheat pastas and your favorite sauces. with the pasta though, you may want to make dinner 1/2 pasta 1/2 salad/veggies

we do our shopping at target (mostly because its closer to our house and less populated than a safeway or foodmax) we get: -whole wheat bread -fat free milk -fat free cheese -oven roasted turkey breast (lunchmeat) -eggs -light salad dressings -kashi cereal (or any other type of low calorie cereal) -Kudos/kellogs bars/100…

I strongly suggest eating them as healthy as possible because you then get to eat more (in volume) of food, than you would eating high calorie foods. You will feel full all day and be less prone to "cheating" lol. i think it's great that way. I'm used to having Large meals, so making them, "large" healthy meals works for…

I weigh myself everymorning too. I do it because it helps me stay on top of my food intake. Makes me more self conscious. not in a negative way though. but in a way that helps me make better decisions. such as, having a smaller dinner. or what TYPE of dinner to have. i.e. I weigh morethe next day after a bowl of oatmeal,…

That would make really good sense. I guess it just depends on how many calories MFP sayd you should stick to on a daily basis. My goal is 1590/day. So I spread my meals over 4-5 meals @ 3-400 calories each. I "trick myself"into thinking I'm eating just as much food as before, but i swap out my usuals for low calorie foods.…
