For sure!

Toss Tilapia 1 tablespoon of any season all I use ( Badia complete seasoning) then in a separate plate use 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lightly coat the tilpia. Place on tin foil and sprinkle 1/8 of a cup of Panko bread crumbs on top (panko bread crumbs are Japanese bread crumbs) you can substitute this with crushed…

I am not upset in anyway I just want to be as accurate as possible with my foods. I know it sounds a little loco but that is part of my charm :bigsmile: I have found that weighing them ( solid foods) is alot better than measuring them by volume.

This is the best one I have found and I love it! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

too funny thanks for sharing

I did not know coconut rum was only 63 cals a shot WOW! That is one for the books thanks for sharing FYI: I just looked up Malibu which is my fav and that one only has 51 cals

There is a website that I input my ingredients and then is gives me the nutritional values for everything combined and you can tell it how many serving as well. it helps if you don't want to input each item here for a recipe that you make often. I then add that recipe with my name as the brand. It is a little tedious at…

You ruined nothing cause tomorrow is another day! Everyone has set backs and today was yours. If you fall and never get up you will never move on. Funny thing I went over my calories today to for the first time in 3.5 months. Tomorrow will be better for us both.

no time like the present

thank you healthy changes great article lvfunandfit i will most definitely share.

good for you tigerblue!

This was my week I usually spend 8-10 days when I don't lose anything, so my next weigh in is very possible that I will be the same. I have noticed a very definite pattern to my weight loss. I lose between 4 to 7 lbs in like 3-5 days and then nothing for 8 to 10 . Then it repeats ( this has happened 3 times). This has been…

Doritos for me is like a alcohol for an alcoholic. I won't do it and I can't do it. I totally agree to cut it out all together!! Special K has crackers that you can package yourself ( get little sandwich bags and you can put 17 crackers in each bag cheaper than buying 100 cal. packs. ) The Special K crackers are…

Well as everyone else has said - amazing !!! you are and inspiration and you look 10 years younger than your first pic! You know what they say - 40 is the new 30 and you look it. By the way 170 on hack squats !!!! you are a strong girl!!! Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Kimberly, Welcome to MFP. This place is awesome. good luck

I have had this same issue alot. I have read in various places that the elliptical tend to overstate calorie burn anywhere from 15 to 30 % . So I bought a heart rate monitor. Same thing I think it overstates. The best thing I have found and the one I have opted for is to make sure you watch your heart rate the whole time…

Water , Water, Water, - If i don't drink at least 10 glasses a day, the scale won't budge. As soon as I up my water intake it takes off. I have experienced this 3 times. So drink up. good luck

I don't do trans fat and I don't smoke or drink. So avocados hear I come! Thanks for the info.

Love it ! this is my first Challenge ( challenging my self not others) I am soooooo in!!! ( I actually have another challenge with some of my friend that is ending this month. So i figured Double the fun!!! yeah!!! Good Luck to everyone hope everyone reaches their Goals!!! S/W 211 G/W 200 Focus Focus Focus !!!

I was also thinking is she serious!!! - LOL--- Fantastic you got me too !!!!

Thanks for the input!

I found a website that I think does a better calculation of calories burned. I just don't believe (even if I feel like I am dying when I finish the elliptical) that I have burned that much. I am not sure if anyone else has these same concerns, but here it is. http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm

Thank you all for your help! Slow and steady wins the race. I will continue my progress slowly and happy. I might not win the race but I will win in the end regardless. I have a lot of weight I need to lose and I do not want to sabotage my health or 2lbs a week weight loss.

WOW !! good for you. You pics are truly inspiring!

I honestly am not starving at all! I am about net 200 calories. Here is the deal I am on a biggest loser type challenge. I I still have another 55 lbs I need to lose so I am not on a fast weight loss plan nor do i plan to lose the 55 lbs in the next 2 months I am fully aware to be healthy I need for my weight loss to be…
