I like the idea of working around recipes. I just don't see any benefit in those frozen diet meals, and from personal experience (during a lazy phase of mine LOL) I know they didn't keep me full. Why not adjust the recipe? Or make the recipe for 2 and supplement the (2/3) portions with a salad? Or steamed cauliflower? Or…

veggie sushi made with brown rice, YUM!

5am? Are we sleeping in? I live in the south and in the summer to beat the heat I'd go ride my horse before my 7am job. This meant getting up at 2:45, leaving the house at 3:30, getting to the barn at 4:00 and being tacked up and on my horse by 4:30. Off at 5:30, everything put away and on the road by 6:15 and I'd be at…

Nice job! You look a lot younger!

I did two things! I need to go grocery shopping- was out of eggs this morning and in a rush to get going so I stopped for a biscuit (drive-thru, haven't been in at least 6 weeks, have been good so I figured why not treat myself?) and I skipped out on a potato hash brown which old me got religiously. I also skipped my large…

I have that issue with my roommate and for me personally it's the easy mindless snacking that will do me in. You just have to practice self control, but keep in mind labeling a food as 'bad' just makes it all the more tempting. I incorporate it in small amounts.

I want to join! Though I'm not gonna both posting all of March up until now 3/22 - Walked w/dog 5.23 miles, 1h 35m 27s, 11,627 steps

I just got done with vanilla yogurt mixed with some locally sourced granola, and a small bowl of almonds and cheese cubes. So yummy :)

OMG. Was not expecting so many responses (just got off work, so that's why I've not been responding. To answer the above questions, I'm trying to lose. And I'm *loving* fitbit so far so I'm not ditching it. I like the idea of a protein shake, I've never tried those before and I feel like that besides getting me calories I…

Personally I weigh every morning first thing but when I drop a pound or two on the scale I give it a few days to make sure it's not water weight. I just think it's exciting to wake up to a pound loss. It makes your day just a bit brighter :)

Way to go! Lol "onederland" :smile:

Probably drinking drinks besides water? I can't remember but it was a tie between that and portion sizes. Once I figured out how many calories my sweet teas and occasional soda gave me I became almost OCD about not drinking anything with calories. It just kinda seems like a waste to me. Plus water is good for you and goes…

Thanks for the responses guys- I'm trying to get down to my goal of 135lbs (I am 5'9"). I hope you guys are right and all I have to do is to keep on losing weight to see results. I mean I can see the difference especially around my tummy and face and neck it's just that I'm not loosing inches where it needs to come off…

It's great! I always get it on my subway subs :)

Oh yeah. I mean technically losing weight will make me healthier but I want to lose weight so Summer of '14 I can rock shorts, skirts and a Victoria's Secret Bikini :)

Welcome! MFP is a great tool to loose weight, and the community is amazing. Some helpful hints: 1. Friends are a must. Seeing everyone's progress and determination only strengthens yours! 2. Just make a habit of logging everyday. 3. Losing weight isn't all about losing weight, it's about teaching yourself to live…

Did the same thing tonight and I'm so mad at myself!!! My problem tonight was that I'm stressed and theres a bag of chips downstairs. Excuses, excuses. Normally I'm pretty good about staying motivated but tonight (and last night) were bad. Normally if I keep busy or drink some water I'm good. And in the past few months…

Yeah! I love turkey, I think it's something like 60 calories per 3 slices :)

WOOOO! Way to go!! I had to double check that you were the same person! :)

It happens, after all weight loss isn't an exact science. Just keep staying under your goal and I'm sure you'll do better next time. Also, depending on how much you've drank today, that could just be water weight. Chin up, you've lost 12kgs so far so your doing it right. And losing weight is healthier when it's slow. Good…

the 3 S's (just totally thought of that lol) -Salad: low in cals with your favorite dressing is always good and healthy -Sandwhich: Made with turkey this can be really low in calories and healthy too. I think about 260-300 total -Soup: Like the easiest thing to make! Open a can, heat it up in a pot and you're ready to eat!…

I try to go to the gym but if my cramps are too bad I'll just stay home and try to take it easy calorie-wise. However I do go out to the barn and make sure my horse is ok and most of the time I ride if I'm feeling up to it

Vomit flavored trick candy I got tricked into eating. I was told it was mango flavored...

Blood Sausage? Toad in a hole? Lamb? I think I lost my appetite... I'll stick to Ice Tea and chili :)

I'm 5'9 (close enough :P) and my goal is anywhere from 120-140. As long as I look good and feel good :)

^^love that :P I don't think I could date a younger man... I like a man thats taller and a least a little bit older than me

I'm disappointed that Christian Bale won't be coming back but I have to admit that I have a pretty big crush on Ben Affleck :P

Thanks for the honest opinion :)
