Walking is my main form of exercise. So easy to grab the sneakers and go, I also used LS DVD's when the weather or schedule wouldn't permit. I used to dread walking up the hills in my neighborhood...now I can't wait to get to them and show them whose boss ; ) I am up to 5 miles when I have the time, usual day around 3…

Grilled asparagus Put a little extra virgin olive oil on it, salt and pepper, grill till done ( I like mine with a little bite to them), sprinkle with a lemon juice...and done.

Calorie counting works as long as you are committed to it and actually follow it and it doesn't sound like you truly are. One good week will not show a loss when the prior weeks are bad weeks. This takes time, it's not a diet, it's a change in your lifestyle and eating habits. This is about being healthly! Try and not let…

I started by walking during my lunch hour...40 minutes or so and then eat after that (I bring my lunch to work). Whenever I could I'd add another 30 or 45 minutes at night. What really helped though was I started getting up early and exercising to DVD's at home, and trust me I am NOT a get up early kind of person, but I…

Eat the 1260 that MFP recommends and eat back at least 1/2 of your exercise calories. Give it a few weeks, if that isn't working eat all your exercise calories back. Everyone is different and you just need to experiment and see what works for you. But I think eating 1000 a day is way to little!!! The biggest thing is give…

Greek yogurt, shrimp, quinoa, asparagus, wheat pitas, hummus, zuchinni, squash, mixed greens, romaine, spinach...

In my opinion, take or leave it, I'd stay. It's just the way I am, I feel I piss them off more by continuing to come in do my job to the best of my ability and put a smile on my face. Don't burn bridges you can't rebuild them...you may think you won't need her reference or the company's, but you never know what happens in…

This is a GREAT idea. If you don't mind I will borrow your wonderful idea, but I will donate $2.00 for each mile I walk, run or bike to the Atlanta Community Food Bank . (I do alot of miles and as much as I'd like to donate a ton of money I don't think my checkbook can handle $5.00/mile) Thanks!!

I am proud of myself today because I didn't eat any of the bagels or pastries that were brought into work for a meeting!

That is AWESOME!

Personally it helps me, but it can be a hinderance when I get unfocused at work at spend too much time on here ; ) It's made me realize the foods I eat, how many calories they are and the nutritional value of them. I can search for certain foods and get an idea of how many calories before I buy it and eat it. I do that…

Congratulations that is FANTASTIC!

My husband and I are going out to dinner at a restaurant we've never been to before.

5'8" 131 size 6, sometimes 4 depends on the maker and cut. Goal now: firm, tone, get a few defined muscles and wear that bikini without talking myself out of it! Oh and not to gain any weight back! :wink:

Add me if you like. When I turned 42 it was like a switch went off and I couldn't drop even a pound! Going on 47 this year and started with MFP last May, best thing I ever did. Not only have a lost weight, I 've learned alot about fitness, food, different exercises...and gotten so much inspiration from others!! Good luck

To put on the bikini, look in the mirror and say "damn" I look good, instead of heading back to the tankini and one piece rack in the store!

The hum of the server in the room next to my office...that reminds me, time to turn on Pandora for a while ; )

You look so great, and I bet you feel fantastic! Good for you!

Well said...THANK YOU!!!

Treadmill, stationary bike, regular bike (when the weather is warmer), outside walk/jog and low impact aerobics. Trying to start some strength training soon to bump it up a bit.

That is beyond fantastic!!!! You are a wonderful inspiration!

Love Chobani, have to try Fage next time! Never liked the Yoplait, like you said FAKE! :laugh:

Very motivating post! Thank you!

From a food standpoint no it doesn't interfere. We have two refrigerators and a microwave so I can bring my own food for lunch and don't have to get fast food (we also have a grocery store close by that has premade salads and fruit salads). From a workout point yes it can. I work 8ish to 530-6ish and by the time I get home…

Bananas, apples, cuties, greek yogurt (love chobani), kashi dark chocolate cherry granola bars, fat free fig newtons...and pears

^^^^^This!!!!!

Yes and No. I have pretty much the same rotating items for breakfast and lunch during the week, so I know generally what that calorie counts will be. Dinner is a another story. I am not very good at the planning of dinner, school functions, work functions, working late or working out late. I have a rough estimate of the…

Sony Cybershots are very nice. I've had two (lost the first one), I also have a Sony A55 DSLR for my more Pro pics
