I eat at my desk & then go for a walk.

Do a search on the forum for mashed cauliflower. It's a great sub for mashed potatoes - yummy!

Congrats on joining - that's the first step of something that will really work!

Welcome! My husband has bad knees and the cycling is also his workout of choice. We go out on the trails together & we have a recumbant bike at home for bad weather days. You are doing great so far. Glad you made it thru your military service safely.

I asked that same first question a few weeks back. NSV = non-scale victory. Like fitting into something you couldn't before - a win that doesn't have to do w/ the scale. Being satisfied w/a smaller serving, etc. bump = bumping up the thread. As new threads are started, the other ones fall lower down. But just entering…

Someone should invent a "shake weight ice cream maker".

Hi - I'm not muslim, but I live walking distance from an Islamic Community Center in my neighborhood. I just have to say that it's gotta be rough for Ramadan to fall when the days are so long as opposed to, say, January. I wish you a peaceful Ramadan & don't go too crazy at the food at the end! ha ha!

Me too. There are a few threads on it if you do a search. I've been doing well here - part of me is thinking I might have used my PCOS as an excuse as to WHY I couldn't lose weight. Since starting here, I've had no problem losing so far...

Your aunt would be proud of you! I think after so many attempts, we all need something to just "click" and we can finally do it. Sounds like you finally clicked!
-
that would be your "dumb butt EX boyfriend"...

I think inappropriate responses are just that - inappropriate. I do see a lot of photos people post (haven't seen yours) that I think "oh - my - how can they post that?" I mean, not even just a bathing suit (and I'm not a prude). I don't really know if there is a moderator or anyone like that here to submit complaints to…

The menu depends on location, so different locations might have different options. That said, from MFP I learned that pasta has a lot more calories than I expected, so I would go w/ a non-pasta entree. I'd look at the eggplant parmigian, or the chicken limone/chicken saltimbocca/oven roasted salmon w/ the lemon butter or…

If skinny came in a pill, no one would be fat.

I had not checked the BMI for myself yet (I knew I would be in the obese range). I still have 21 lbs to go just to reach "overweight". That's kind of depressing! LOL! Congrats to you. I set many little goals and it keeps me inspired.
-
Welcome to double digits! It sounds like you are going about it the right way (finally - like me!). I do not deprive myself if I really want it - I just have to account for it. Still, I am finding that my tastes have been changing and, sometimes, when I do let myself get that ice cream or fries, I'm finding that they are…

I just got from a week's vacation. My goal was to stay the same - my weigh in 3 days after coming back was a 2 lb loss. We went for a walk every day, or a hike in the woods. Went swimming twice. I could not log into here at all, but I tried to make good choices for the most part. Sure, I had some drinks, some desserts,…

I would visit a chiropractor for the back, get a list of exercised to strengthen it. Yoga is what I do for my back.
-
I've shown my sister how to do this, and I've explained it to her over the phone, but she still can't get it right because she searches for "coffee with 2 tablespoons of cream and 1 packet of equal" or something to that effect. Her daughter is on here & doing great, so maybe she can teach her mom how to to do it. Some…

I've been on here for nearly 2 months & have seen a big improvement in the back bulges. My main exercises are walking, cycling and swimming. I think it's the swimming.

It's that actor from "Lost" and the 16 yo girl who looks like she's 35, right? I saw this interview -they met on line. The parents approved. He didn't know she was that young (I mean, look at her). They supposedly waited until they were married to have sex (she was a virgin - like waiting until you are 16 is some big…

While 10 lbs in 70 days might be slow to you, I can tell you I have gained & lost that same 10 lbs in much more time on WW. Also - if you went from a size 12 to a size 8 - I don't think you really ARE doing anything wrong. You have burned fat. You have gained muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. I don't know how tall you…

I'm one who does not think breakfast necessarily needs to be "breakfast foods". No reason why a sandwich can't make a good breakfast. Now, if you want to avoid the bread carbs, take a couple nice pieces of leaf lettuce & fill it w/ some turkey or chicken and a slice of cheese - a squirt of mustard. Roll it up and go.
-
Another reason I was happy about it is I had my husband take a front/side photo of me to compare to some he took a few weeks ago in the same outfit (my yoga gear). I saw zero difference in the photos and, if anything, I look bigger in the photos than I do in the mirror. So, with that start of the day, I was glad for this…

I'm at 10 dozen large eggs, but I was thinking about this very thing this weekend while we were out on our bike ride. I told my husband that I thought the ride was getting easier, and it must be because I've lost 15, which is the equivalent of trying to ride my bike with our fattest cat on my lap...
-
Your husband is right. And just imagine how, if you've been staying the same without exercise, when you bring exercise back in the mix you are sure to start dropping again!
-
I have a huge gallon jug of it - haven't touched it in 18 months...I should start tapping into it again.

I use MFP's numbers, except for when I am on my exercise bike, as that tells me. Otherwise swimming, walking, bike riding, aerobics - I use MFP's numbers. I am set for 1 lb/ week, average 2 lb/week weight loss. I eat back my exercise calories - not always all of them - it depends on what I happened to eat that day and how…
-
I would rather treat myself with something other than food - why reinforce the food as reward idea? Treat myself to a pedicure, a fun outting, maybe if it's food go out for a frozen yogurt treat, an afternoon relaxing on the beach, a new book or DVD or or music CD...
