Help me...my husband is taking me out to eat to Chilies tonight...I know me, I will go with every intention of eating good, but then I will open the menu... Does anyone have suggestions on what to eat that is not the bad for me? If I know what I am going to eat before I get there, I won't be as inclined to open the menu…

that sounds absolutly delicious!!!!

Wow...talk about your success story!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Brush your teeth...I read somewhere that when you are craving food but are not really hungry...if you brush your teeth with a minty toothpaste it is supposed to curve the appetite. It acually works for me...plus once I brush my teeth I don't allow myself to eat again. But they say it is something in the minty flavor that…

I did the picture thing too...I took all my junk food in my whole house and consolidated it to once small area in my kitchen...and I have a really hideous picture of me blown up to a 5x7 and taped it to the front of the cabinet door!!!! so everytime I go into the "junk area" I see that picture...it seems to be working so…

I am the exact same way exept vice versa!!! I can do hours on my treadmil, but after about 7 min on the elliptical I am DYING...I think maybe the reason why is your body is used to the type of movements your doing on the elliptical, so when you change up the scene a bit, it has to adjust? I'm guessing by the way I am no…

Yay for you!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work Girlie!

Welcome...good luck you can do it!!

When I first started doing this faithfully...I got a treadmil, and I could walk forever...but I could only jog consistantly for about 1 minute...(pathedic I know) Tonight I kicked it up and started jogging and before I knew it I looked down and I had been jogging at 5.5 mph for 8 minutes!!!! I started to get tired but I…

You will get there...you didn't put it on over night...its not coming off that way either! You can do it!!! 4 lbs in 16 days is not that bad...that is acually good...that is just about the 2 lbs a week that MFP recommends you lose! So stick with it your doing great!

I think you shouldn't sike yourself up for "the weigh in" I also agree with previous statements, Instead of using the scale...get out the old tape measure!

wow...that was interesting...thanks for the post

That is awesome!!!! I wish my kids were like that! What a great example for you to set mommy!

that sounds so yummmmmmyyyyy....And I just went grocery shopping and got tilapia!!! I was wondering how I was gonna cook it. I know now! Thanks!

Awwww...that is great you guys, both of you...I am a vet tech and devote my time to helping animals...I love hearing stories when people do things like this and don't "turn their back" on helpless animals. Kudos to you guys!!!!!! Enjoy the new additions to your family.

Welcome! You will have all the support you ever need here. You can do this!!!

Don't be sorry for an acheivment!!!! Yay for you!!! CONGRATS!!!!

I am 26 and on my 2nd marriage...I have 2 children, and I can tell you that planning my weddings were the most stressful time in my life....infact I ended up throwing out my wedding plans on my 2nd marriage and we just went to the courthouse on a Monday morning. LOL...I'm saying this b/c I can relate to your…

I did not want to go grocery shopping so I did this instead... Took chicken breast and cubed them to bite size, put them in a skillet with some chopped onions, little olive oil, 1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned) and some cipoltle salt free seasoning. Cooked it up. For the kids I put it on a tortilla with some cheese and make…

I think you should go by your polar, and I believe the reason is your polar caculates more acuratly because it uses your heart rate as a guide to how hard your working out. The calories burned on this website is a basic for the "average" person. But your polar is more specific to you. I always go by my heart rate monitor.…

Whats it called...just "carb burner"? That would be perfect for me. B/C my problem is finding the time to work out...if I could do a few 10 min workouts periodically throughout the day it would be great!!!

Its in there under Cardio...go to your exercise log and click add cardio...type in Breast Feeding...I think the calories burned are 500 per 60 min? something like that. You can add exercises that are not in there! You just click on "add unlisted cardio exercise" And type in all the info...just like food. Hope this helps…

Welcome!!!

welcome!!!!

good question...I would like to know this information too. I never knew about any teams?

I would go with the less fat...Sorry about your bad day...hope you have a better one tomorrow! Go with which ever one will make this terrible day end a little better, then start the day over again. You said you are working out in the am right?

I am way under my calories (not on purpose) but I wasn't paying close attention to what I was eating, and I am over my sodium by 1000mg!!! OMG...I can't believe I did that! I did well all day, but for dinner I had some progresso soup, they advertise that stuff for being healthy right? WRONG!!! yeah the calories are awesome…

Every body is different...I work out from 9-10 pm...sometimes longer depending on the stress of the day...but with 2 kids and working 11-12 hour days, I don't have time any where else to fit it in...and I think its better than nothing right? I am always in bed before 11pm. Once I'm done with a workout, I take a…

I hear you with the 12 hour days...my husband works nights, so when I get off my 12 hour shift, I have to pick up the kids, do homework, cook dinner, give baths, dress in jammies, clean up after dinner, and still try to find time to get in a decent work out. Don't stress out about going over your calories for one day...And…

I was eating an apple cinnamon rice cake when I read your response and I quickly got up and put a little bit of peanut butter on it...I have done this before, I don't know why I didn't think to do it! YUMMY!!!! thank you so very much!
