i occasionally use a spoon as well, to properly twirl the noodles on the fork. also, with a side of garlic bread.

sunflower seeds and egg white pieces.

for healthy fat: almond milk... for protein: skim milk. i use both on a fairly regular basis, coconut milk too.

"If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw. I cry every time I hear it. It came out during my baby brother's first deployment to Iraq.

the only time i don't count a veggie is if it's something very small and leafy green, like lettuce or spinach on a sandwich or wrap.

I count it as exercise, or used to when I had MFP set to sedentary. I moved it to moderately active and don't log my exercise except on heavy gym days to see if I am netting below BMR numbers. Then again, I always put on upbeat music and dance around while I'm cleaning house or doing laundry. It can be a pretty decent…

eggs for breakfast, chicken for dinner...

baked pork chops, zucchini 'chips', and corn on the cob. mmm last night was spicy southwestern tilapia and garlic green beans.

I have one, and I can't 100% vouch for it's accuracy because I've never had my body fat percentage professionally tested, but I haven't noticed it jumping all over the place, so the trend should be accurate provided you use it under the same conditions every time (i.e. first thing in the morning, 3 hours after breakfast,…

chocolate elcairs when they are made right. BLISS.

My two spoiled torties: They are lazy bums. They love each other: We adopted them from a shelter on Labor day last year. They are about 3 years old, litter mates, who were basically neglected after their owner passed away because the owner's husband didn't have time to take care of them... they were stuck in a room with…

in the winter time i love love LOVE the sugar cookie ones. we buy 1 box, and it's dessert once a week for the month of december. he eats other flavors all the time with a banana for breakfast. but he's 5'10 and 168 pounds. he can get away with it.

"I Don't Want This Night to End" by Luke Bryan.

Hey folks :) I just joined yesterday (posted in the intro thread) and this seems like a thread that I can relate to. I seem to be bigger than everyone here though, at 5'9 - 270ish (haven't weighed in a month, literally threw away my scale - it was broken, and I just got a new one). I plan to use my new scale as a new start…

My apartment is on the 2nd floor... the campus gym is on a lower level in another building. I go down 1 flight of stairs from my apartment, then walk to the building where the gym is located, then go down another flight of stairs to get to the gym, and more than once I've felt like asking my husband to "please just bring…

You are cold because you are not fueling your metabolism properly. If you eat more you should feel warmer.

Hey ya'll :) Hope you don't mind if I join the party here... I just got the book in the mail and have been reading it before bed the last few nights. I recently made the switch from starving myself to fueling my workouts and it's done wonders for my energy level. Based on all the reviews I've seen on this site, I decided…

I can't be the only one who thinks this guy is attractive... Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum.

I love The Voice. I like that people have to be invited to try out, so it's all talent from the beginning. I like that they are coaches and not just judges. I like that the coaches pick talent they can work with because the coach of the winner is also considered the winner, but I love that they pick talent based on what…

love me some blake shelton, brad paisley, charles kelly (the lead singer of lady antebellum), and trace adkins.

I was with my husband for two and a half years before we got married. And we will celebrate our first anniversary in a month. I was sure within 4 months of meeting him that I wanted to marry him. What convinced me was one little thing: I didn't want to change him at all, but I wanted to change *for* him to be the best…

the only things i don't log are the small amounts of onion/green pepper/spinach/lettuce i add to my sandwiches or wraps.

The machines are a bit different than the free weights, because of how they are controlled. I've heard it described that machines give you pretty muscles and free weights give you functional muscles. Most people advocate the use of free weights over machines. I have no preference or opinion on this... but just so you know,…

*double post*

I started with Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home DVDs as well... she just released one that is a 5 day program with some light strength training/toning after each walk. Might be worth looking into.

I just got the book, plan on reading it through then starting the program on or about May 1... give myself a better body for Christmas!

Next on my agenda is a set of kettlebells. I need to build up a mini-home gym, because I don't think I'll have access to a gym after July.

1) Heart rate monitor 2) Body fat analyzer 3) "New Rules of Lifting for Women" 4) "Women's Health: Big Book of Exercises" Before that was lifting gloves and a workout dvd. Seriously. When did I turn into a fitness nut?
