The bars from the Quest line is delicious. A friend of mine is a sponsored athlete of Quest and she got me a few boxes of the Quest Cookie Dough before they rolled them out into production and it ROCKS!! --throw (any flavor) in the microwave for 10 seconds and you'll think you are cheating!!

I'm 4'11.5 (yes it makes a difference to me LOL) and at highest weight was 240 (before the technology of MFP) lowest weight 110 (skinny fat though) current weight is 126 I'm 16 pounds heavier now than my lightest and only wear 1 size larger than I did back then. I don't focus on the scale.... I care more about my clothing…

I've been eating clean for almost 8 years now. I started it when I got pregnant with my first daughter. At my heaviest I was 240 pounds....by the time I got pregnant with my first I was down to 140 already, but it was a constant battle with what to eat. Should I eat low fat? watch calories? do low carb? atkins? south…

My husband was a paramedic for 17 years working the overnights in NYC (now he is a nurse in the emergency room still working night shift) and since we started dating 13 years ago I'd pack food for him so he could have something every few hours. I'd put it into a cooler bag so that food wouldnt go bad. Food also had to be…

Largest was a size 24.... Before getting pregnant with my second daughter I had gotten down to a size 2.... Currently wearing a size 4

At my highest weight of 240 I probably should have worn an E or bigger but stuffed the girls in DD.... After a huge weight loss (im currently at 122 pounds) AND having 2 kids....I'm barely a B...and they have lost all their 'meatiness' Good thing though....i can run around without a bra. And like my husband's aunt said to…

The Prodigy -Smack my B***h Up (the entire album is bad *kitten*)

-small apple and some low fat string cheese -a few almonds (been hooked on Emerald's cocoa roasted almonds) -a slice of ezekiel bread with hummus and cucumber or PB2 with a few slices of banana -blue diamond almond rice crackers with hummus

I don't do a low carb high protein diet but I just wanted to comment on the whey protein. I have a difficult time with protein powders but found that hydrolyzed whey protein isn't an issue for me. GOOD LUCK!!! Oh and there are also vegan protein powders out there that you may want to check out :-)

Kashi Go Lean Fiber One I'm pretty boring LOL

CONGRATS!! I'm love the Brooks Adrenaline line. I started with Brooks Adrenaline GTS 5 and am now wearing the GTS 11. I've tried on others over the years but always come back to Brooks.... Until I find something that works better I'll stick with them....

Keep them coming folks!! These are some great ideas!! I already do the Trader Joe's seaweed and I buy Blue Diamond Lightly salted Almond Rice crackers (and I get to eat them when my daughter hasn't munched them all LOL)....but that gets boring pretty quick. A friend at the gym suggested I try dry oven roasting canned…

BRAGGS LIQUID AMINOS....tastes exactly like soy without all the sodium

YEP! I take LoEstrin 24 and when I'm on it I lose less than half a pound a week (typically .2-.4)...then the 4 days i'm off I lose 3 pounds. Basically it averages to a pound a week which is about what I am set up to lose. And no....its not water weight that I lose because those pounds don't come back. And while most women…

Double and triple cream kinds of cheese. Most are around 100 calories and 12 grams of fat PER OUNCE. I can easily put away half a pound of cheese per sitting. So this is something I can only indulge in once in a while

bump... thanks for posting that site and info

Heard alot of hype about it from a bunch of ladies who were reading it....found out it has porn like situations and apparently my cousin says that the stuff that I read is much raunchier than this series. So i'm skipping it LOL

The Prodigy--The Fat of the Land album is awesome for killer cardio work Black Eyed Peas - Pump It Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire And when I want steady rate cardio I listen to the hubby's Army cadences.... nothing like a drill sergeant screaming at you to put a little pep in your step :-)

QUEST BARS all the way!!! Used to have to buy them directly from them and then I found a store in the area that carried them and now I think they started to carry them at Vitamin Shoppe. Apple Pie flavor rocks!! Just had one this afternoon!!!

I make turkey "cupcakes" for my daughter. I then make either mashed sweet potatoes or regular mashed potatoes and place in mini ziplock bags so she can pipe the "frosting" on herself. We then make veggies (corn, peas, diced tri color peppers etc) so she can decorate her cupcake. Make dinner fun and a guarantee that she…

I'm 4'11.5 and currently weigh 125.6 Starting weight was 240 (before kids and MFP)...yes you read that right, 240! Trying to get down to 105.... OMG! People of 'average' height have no idea how difficult it is for us 'fun sized' folks. I can eat a super salty meal and the next morning I can't button my jeans because I put…

I have the FitBit and while its decent for steady rate cardio (treadmill or elliptical) it doesn't do heart rate. I am actually looking to upgrade to a HRM since my fitbit doesnt 'read' several machines that I use (AMT machine and Stepmill) nor does it adjust during weight training.

I do just the oats, protein and egg whites...on the weekends I like to do this with pure pumpkin and pumpkin spice ITS DELISH!!!

Metallica's Master of Puppets cassette.....

I'm not Irish but married myself a nice Irish boy (family is from Cork). Mother in law will be cooking of course...and I'll be trying my best not to overindulge in her corned beef and cabbage (oh my....i just drooled at the thought of this meal!! LOL) Oh and I forgot to say that we are celebrating here in New York!!! Happy…

bump for later.....

I've had one for about 15 months....love that MFP now has it so that it syncs with the FitBit site. Eventually I'll upgrade to a good HRM...but for $100 you cant go wrong with a Fitbit.
