I found out at the gym where I then used my iPhone 4 to update my facebook status that he was gone and I was sad... then I saw it again at the school library where I used an iPad to help me study with some classmates... then I came home to read all the tweets about his passing on my Macbook. Apple is in my everyday life…

I love throwing a tilapia filet in a glass dish sprayed with olive oil spray and then just sprinkle paprika on top of the filet. Bake for about 15 minutes. Then serve it with some steamed rice, sauteéd spinach & chopped garlic. The flavors are so yummy.

You look great! Your face looks so healthy and I'm so envious of your flat belly! Great work.

Ooh, never thought to do that will my fillo dough! Search "spinach dip cups" in the forums. Fun, yummy alternative with won ton wrappers. Basically, spinach, cream cheese, garlic, I use a little milk to thin it out and then put the won ton wrappers in a cupcake liner, bake, then fill with the filling and eat! Yum!

Turkey bacon doesn't crisp up like pork bacon. And now I'm reminded I have pork bacon in the fridge. Dinner!

No. Unless it's someone I know has been struggling to stay under - then that in itself is GOOD. I usually don't even comment because it's a touchy topic for me. I think a deserved "good job" is someone who ate clean, maybe had a treat but hit most of their numbers, stayed under on sodium, etc. Or maybe a good job is…

If you changed your lifestyle, you don't need to log work. Your lifestyle counters in work - if you're on your feet for several hours a day, that would be lightly active. You're done. The only calories you need to log are actual work outs.

I don't think that's right. It says my happy weight is 127 and I think it will be a struggle just to get to 140. I have a medium frame so I wasn't supposed to multiply again? *confused*

Yeah, you either need to eat more or you need to reevaluate your protein and fiber amounts. Protein should be at least 25% and fiber at least 25g per day. Try to spread it out so you're not as hungry. Being hungry though isn't a bad thing but you should be eating no sooner than 2 hours after you last ate.

KaitlinJ 'cause she looks like THAT past 30... and Jillybeanruns because she seriously pushes through SO much pain when she runs and I'd love to be an eigth the runner she is. Seriously awesome ladies. And Msbanana is just BADASS. So those are my inspirations :bigsmile:

If you can afford to still pay for it, just work out at home. Get a couple workout dvds and find a good cardio you can do outside or with someone.

haha Not even roasted chicken soaked in butter...most restaurants give you at LEAST 6 oz. The restaurant I used to wait tables for... one serving of grilled chicken is TWO 6 oz chicken patties with about 2 cups of wild rice as a serving and about a cup of veggies and every entree comes with a giant beer bread roll. I had…

Definitely 2. 3 was just refreshing after all the planks in level 2!

I literally measure everything. If I'm cooking by myself, I only make enough for one serving which is measured out... if I make dinner for me and my boyfriend, I measure his out first and that usually leaves me with just a little under everything I logged - i,e: 1 cup of rice logged ends up being more like 95% of the…

My parents have both lost at least 100 lbs doing HCG... but they've aged a good 20 years, have HORRIBLE saggy skin and will never be able to eat "normally" or they will gain everything back. Do your research.

He's pretty tall... and if he's active, he would need to eat a lot of calories. Makes sense.

If they're moderate to intense, you should be allowing rest days. Do intense cardio in between strength days and then have a light day or a rest day at least once a week. Also, try eating more protein (25-30%) and drinking more water to help with soreness. Water will help reduce inflammation and protein will help rebuild…

bread? lol

No no, your BMR is what you burn doing absolutely nothing. That's not taking into consideration your activity level or exercise. What MFP has you eating is fine. BMR is if you were to lay in bed all day... your TDEE (total daily expenditure something?) is what you burn day-to-day based on your activity level... so…

It really just depends. When I gained weight & then lost it as a teen, my boobs went back down from about a 36DD to a 38C. This time I went up to a 36D and have stayed about the same even though I've lost half the weight I've gained. Sometimes it comes first, sometimes it goes last. Just be patient. It will go.

That's awesome!!! Right now I'm finally fitting pretty well into my 10s and can't wait 'til I get back down to almost 8s and then 8s! I've NEVER been a single digit in my life. EEE, can't wait. Congratulations, btw! hehe

12" are man arms? Mine are 14". I'd LOVE to have 12" arms. Seriously.

Definitely cooked carrots. Also spinach that's not seasoned.

That's awesome! I'm half Dutch! :happy:

Love that jawline!! Great job.

I used to use it for 5 minutes to warm up before my strength routine. My calves got too big though and I hate the shin splints from any kind of jumping exercise so I cut it out... it's great for working up endurance, though!

1 per week or 4-5 per month, if I'm really dedicated.

I ALWAYS buy Barilla Plus pasta. I love it and I can't stand to eat just whole wheat pasta. It's too rubbery.

Instead of oil, use applesauce. Instead of eggs, try egg whites. I made cupcakes from a box mix for my birthday and all it called for was water & oil so I used water and applesauce and they turned out SO moist, everyone loved them and it saved about 100 calories EACH.

Honestly, I have come to LOVE mountain climbers. I ALWAYS do them in my strength training. Always. I can't live without them. They're great for your thighs & buns, plus strengthen your core if your form is right and it even works my chest.
