Sounds like you are not being motivated. Talk with family and friends and ask for it. You will always get it here, but you need it from your loved ones as well.

That is my favorite quest bar! I never thought of dipping it in peanut butter...I wish they made a healthier version of Nutella...

I make an awesome edamame hummus, and it is great cooked and put through my magic bullit in a smoothie. I never tried it frozen. I have always bought it raw and shelled it myself. It is a timely process but well worth it.

When I have my steel cut oats, I sprinkle sugar free hot chocolate powder on it.

I bet it is awesome in a smoothie, as long as one uses avocado or another thickener to the smoothie.

I tried them last week (fettuccine) and it was great. However, you need to rinse very well, or soak a bit to remove the "earthy" smell. It's kind of like Tofu in that it takes up the flavor of what you cook with it. I did find that the fettuccine variety was rather tough, so I had to cut it up some so I could swallow it…

some people just eat back 1/2 of their calories from the daily burn to compensate for the overestimation from the MFP values.

Frampton/ Fog Hat. Boy, that's going back...

I also got the premium membership where I can use any LA Fitness in the U.S. I rarely leave Washington though.

I started there 2 years ago kicking and screaming all the way. Now I look forward to going in. The more my body changes, the more motivated I become.

If you return to old habits, OF COURSE you will gain it back. I think changing ones lifestyle and dump the pizza and braughtworst, and trade it for lean chicken and fish, beans and low carb foods as well as a great workout at least 3 days a week or more. Good things are bound to happen. You shed the old you and leave it…

I am such an idiot! Sunday night I cooked up a dozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits and ate 4!! I gave them to my son the next day....

Skittles!

There is another thread on binging that people are responding to, already. Go there and see what the responses show.

Do huckleberries turn blue in high elevations? I've seen a plant that looks like huckleberry but the berries are blue. Up in the cascades at Wallis Falls.

My clothes nearly falling off, that keeps me motivated to get my butt to the gym.

My favorite Animated film is "Snoopy Come Home".

When she gets a sensible answer to her question.

I am a great example of this. I was sooo disappointed in only a 3 lb. weight loss for July. I went shopping for a few new workout shirts and found that in about 2 months I have gone from a size 3X to a 26-28. I was blown away! I kind of thought my clothes were getting baggy. Now I know why. I weigh myself once a month and…

I went to culinary school a few years back. I loved it! especially the baking part. :)

Personally, I am not a carb hater. I am type 2 diabetic and it has been suggested to me by my trainer and my nutritionist to "limit" my carbs. I allow myself 60-70 carbs a day in order to repair my body so I am less insulin resistant. I still love my 5 bean salad, I just watch my portions. I use quinoa instead of rice and…

I sneak some celery and carrots or par cooked broccoli hiding in my purse and just order a salad or openface meat sandwich. Ditch the bread, and mix the yummies from the sandwich with my veggies and there is a great, healthy meal. Good luck :)

I did an experiment a long time ago, and went off beef for an entire year. I had blood work done before I started and had it done after (1 year) My bad cholesterol decreased by half and my triglycerides were down 70 points! That was without exercise changes or other food choices. That's why I limit my steak to 2 or 3 times…

I will talk with him this morning about a lifting program.

If medium hot, yum. If fire in a bottle YIKES! Fresh Strawberries off the plant

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. :p

Awesome idea!

I will talk with my trainer tomorrow about scheduling a body comp session. It's time I get measured again. Thanx
