RASINS FOR LUNCH IS NOT HEALTHY-- IT IS A SNACK Carbs -- good carbs are fruits veggies brown rice bad carbs white rice noodles bread crackers potaoes are also a bad carb etc. You need to have protein be part of your lunch in dinner -- your lean protien and veggies should be the majority of your plate bad carbs should be…

I love Nuts or fresh veggies (peapods, carrots, cucumbers):happy: :happy:

in MFP just click on food and then on recipes you enter each ingredient and then it gices you the total and then saves it so the next time you just hit on your recipe

Anybody want to do the Sept challenge With Me :bigsmile:

Hi, The best protien source for a Vegan would be quinoa. It is the only non animal protien source that contains all of the amino acids. It is similar to rice in how to prepare but it is really a grain ? dating back to the aztecs. I cook mine in a little veggie stock for more flavor. There are tons of of ways of cooking it…

yippe all challenges completed for the week inc. 1000 sit-ups

Sorry about last week girls!!!! This week will be better my knee has healed ( at least enough to do something only a dull ache) Looking forward to the burn!!!!!! Cyn Cyn

Lost weight but measurements have not really changed that much yet I am wearing 2-3 sizes smaller than when I started

I have never eaten it without adding 4 black berries mashed up in it. It tastes really good that way... Less sugar than when you get it where they have already added the fruit.

Take it one day at a time. If you work out two days out of seven don't say ughh I missed five days. Insteed say Yippie got two days in this week next week I will do three. Basically concentrate on your ACCOMPLISHMENTS and not on your fallbacks!!!

I know this idea will suck but you just may have to take over the shopping and cooking that way you alone are responsible for the outcome!!! Once he starts to see how serious you are then he may start taking more care into what he choses for you Mcdonalds is not all bad if you chose the right things. The other option is to…

The calories for the crab look a little low from most of the ones in the data base it seams like for every 1/2 cup there is 90 calories so unless you only put 1/8 cup of crab you are a little light there. I always try to avoid picking a portion size that says container if you arrow down on it there sometimes will be a…

When I was going through marriage issues (1st hubby) I would go to the gym when pissed off at him.... Exercise can really help eliminate the stress. I also ended up in the best shape of my life Since then I put on weight do to some injuries that kept me out of the gym for 2.5 years. But now I am back....

Try to eat things in a close to their natural state a posibble. Basically avoid eating anything processed. You don’t have to having cooing skills to eat fresh home made. Mrs. Dash makes some great salt free seasonings and sauces. Take you meat broil or bake with your seasonings. Steam some fresh veggies (produce dept sells…

By exercising you earn extra calories and it is fine to treat yourself to something. I love sweets so I do have a skinny cow dessert 100 cal or a pudding at 60 calories each night. If I did not do that I would end up binging. I always think it is harder to keep the weight off if you do days off your diet. Where if you are…

The only thing I crave is red meat So I just eat a lean cut.

jumping jacks are done-- My normal workouts are three times a week. Did some walking will try to get more in.

what is an up and down- I will send my starting weight in am.

like the new logo!!!!!! I plan on kicking the Crap out of August.

Like the team logo!!! I was kind of expecting a parrott

Cool

Agree with everybody else the processed may be an issue but sometimes when working out you may be getting leaner but end up putting weight on because you are building muscle. If you are not taking measurements start you may see big movement there even if the scale is not budging. I also use a body fat scale.

i look for a similar food in the data base for a similar food item from a chain restaurant and use that.

Hey Team!! First challenge and I am ready to kick butt....... I don't think MFP lets you go below 1200 calories which is what I am at on days I do not work out. Which has been about a pound a week loss. (though had two mini trips and two week ends with festival food) In the Month + I have been doing this. I think I could…

Newbie member I plan on a five pound weight loss. I would Really love to see 8-10 but I am trying to be realistic. I am looking forward to this.

Sign me up on a team.
