I live in Durham, work in Chapel Hill, my Fiance's family is in Raleigh so we visit often

I work at all sorts of hours, often not getting home before dark, and I don't live in an area I would feel safe walking outside at dark. I am not a morning person so going before work is not an option. I am not really into running, a jog would be the most I would do. I wouldnt need a weight limit more than 200 lbs, I would…

I am the General Manager of a Subway, let me give you tips: -If you want to get a footlong, but only want to have half at a time- ask us nicely to wrap them separately- if i saw it all I would eat it -ONE serving of a sauce is 3 passes across a 6inch -If you want a better judge of light mayo- ask for a pack of it, they are…

I was doing something very similar, and I gained weight doing that. I bumped up my absolute minimum calories per day level to 1400 (I HAVE to have that many), that way I wouldn't get too low everyday. I am much happier now, and dont feel so run down all the time like I did before. Add some of the things you told your self…

I have a pb&j 5 days a week, made the night before, eaten in the car on the way to work (Mornings not involving making money are against my religion)

I live in Durham, but work at the subway on 70 just inside the Durham line (past brier creek if coming from Raleigh). For the love of my sanity, if you come see me at work - DONT ask me if all the footlongs are $5, yes they are, and yes i can wrap them separately if you want :) I'd be up for a meet up on a sunday or friday…

bump! I :heart: cake!

I'm on 40/40/20, feel free to friend me for my dinners, be warned lunch is subway 6 days a week. Tonight I had chicken lo mein for dinner, 6 oz chicken, 1/2 bag frozen california veggies, 2 oz pasta, 1/4 cup teriyaki baste, cook the chicken, and pasta- during last 4 minutes of cooking pasta add the veggies, add sauce, nom,…

add Crock Pot Girl as a friend on FB they post new recipes everyday, though they don't have nutritional info. I didnt go through 14 pages of comments to see if this had been added yet so sorry if its a repeat

I like breakfast burritos, I put 3-4 egg whites in a bowl in the microwave, nuke for 45 seconds, go do something, stir cook another 45 seconds, do something else, check them for doneness, cook an extra 30 seconds if needed, i normally put it on a low carb wheat tortilla spread with 1/4 c fat free refried beans, and top…

I normally only use mine once a week, BUT I am portioning all the stuff I use for the week on that day. I work 55+ hours a week, so when I get home from a 14 hour day, the LAST thing I want to do is add 3 minutes between getting my dinner in my belly, lol. So what I do is will portion chicken, veggies (frozen), sauces,…

Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, as are portobello mushrooms- My current favorite breakfast is a peanut butter and banana wrap. I've used large portobella mushrooms as mini pizza crusts before- scrap out gills, broil 5-10 minutes (flip once) take out, put on favorite pizza items, broil till cheese melts-…

There is nothing wrong with using your microwave to cook, I do it 4-5 times a week. I normally use it for steaming frozen veggies to just perfectly cooked. Here are a couple of my go to methods that I use in a time crunch, they take less than 20 minutes. Cook 2 oz of pasta (i use Ronzoni smart taste- wheat pasta without…

Netflix has exercise dvds, its a great way to try them before spending more money than you already are.

Campbells condensed chicken noodle soup- I recently switched to the kind that says healthy something on it- less salt, and adds tiny little carrot pieces. Then I have toast, I only keep light bread in the house (35-50 cals). I normally end up WAY under on calories for the day, but over on sodium (no one is perfect). When I…

I work 55+ hours a week too, once a week grill/broil a bunch of chicken breasts (i have gotten the precooked ones before too). I add 3-4 oz chicken, half a bag of frozen california veggies, 3 tbls teriyaki sauce and mix with 2 oz pasta- Chicken lo Mein in the time it takes to cook the pasta. I also have change the pasta…

I do get annoyed at them because I know just how hard I have to work to lose anything at all. Now, I have gotten my fiance on MFP, he is 6'3 and weighs in at 155 right after eating a big meal, soaking wet, and clothed. I got him on here because he was just diagnosed at hypoglycemic and needs to keep an eye on what/when he…

use your weight to your advantage- pushups and tricep dips are great for for your whole body. Resistance bands dont take up much space (about the size of a couple pairs of underwear)

I work at subway so of course I will tell you that it CAN be a really healthy place to eat: stick to ones labeled as 'jared's favorites' or 6 grams of fat or less, only use cheese if you really have to, WHEAT bread (I scoop out the excess bread in mine, just ask nicely- its in the food database), keep to the fat free…

diced/crushed tomatoes? drain beans and corn- use one of those for the can of water? Thanks :flowerforyou:

I think I love you, LMAO

I :heart: dvd workouts, there are some that use weights and some that don't, most run about 10 a pop, you can get them from netflix too,

ZUMBA!!! 600 calories an hour for me (HRM) at 152 lbs, I would burn about 50 additional before I lost some weight :)

1. Zumba- Its the only workout I have ever done where I have been dripping sweat, panting and SMILING. 2. Yoga- It lets me take my mind off of everything, 3. MORE ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chili powder, garlic powder and cumin
