i'm rachel, i'm 27, i'm just coming back to mfp; i took some time off to have my 2nd (and last) baby! feel free to add me!

i'm on south beach so that's how i make my hot chocolate...it's acutally really good!

i have 6 celery sticks with 2 wedges of laughing cow light cheese, it takes me about a 1/2 hour to snack and it's only about 90 calories....it's perfect at my desk at work.

be careful with the juice! i do south beach diet and the juice is the worst part of the fruit for you....it is all carbs, doesnt quench your thirst or fill you up. drinking too much will lead to high blood sugar...if you want fruit, eat the whole thingg, it's better for you and more filling

I just re-started today...i started on MFP almost 2 years ago; i started noticing a change right away and lost 24 lbs...before i got pregnant. My daughter is 6 months old now so it's time to get started again! Stick with this, I've been dieting on and off since I got married (i dont think the timing is a coincidence) and…

i take the nature made prenatal vitamin, i feel so much better too! my hair and finger nails are getting really long and i'm not tired all the time. it's a great vitamin even if your not expecting.

i buy stop and shop brand light wheat bread; it's really good, i like it better than regulary wheat; and i think it is only 30 calories per slice

so i had a rough couple of weeks, and i kind of got off track, i didnt gain, (yay) but i had a mini goal of 10 more lbs gone by my trip to disney world Oct 18th. it's not going to happen now so i'm trying for 6 lbs by then! wish me luck, i've found participating in these chats it really motivates me! i had a great day…

make sure to let us know what happens at the vet...i have a 3 year old rottweiler and i love her to pieces!!!! she's my baby! i would be beside myself as well if something happened to her...good luck

i LOVE them; i remember looking at the packages when i started dieting and thinking "over 200 calories for these.." i havent bought them since.....

this is fun...i actually read everyone's response. mine is pretty dull... my name is rachel; one of my friends my freshman year of college spelled "rach" rayche on the whiteboard on my dorm door and it stuck...my bday is march 19th...hence....rayche319.

I love football! the patriots tatoo i got when i was 16 (i'm 24 now) in Montreal proves it! GO PATS!!!!!

my FAVORITE lunch is the lean cuisine chicken club panini....it is sooooo good!!!

that didnt work, lets try this one??? <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/mike%20lowell/alyss2417/Lowell.jpg?o=31" target="_blank"><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/alyss2417/Lowell.jpg"></a>

well i thought i was going to see some yummy food desserts, but this was way more fun....he's mine....i'm a boston girl!!

thanks everyone! i'm going to keep doing what i'm doing then! i knew you all would be able to help!

yeah, you're supposed to eat all your calories, i guess if you dont on a constant basis your body will go into "starvation mode" and you wont be able to lose anything because your body will store what little it is getting (i read that on this site in another string somewhere)...i'm losing so i guess i should just leave…

my husband loves cream cheese on salami, then he rolls it up....doesnt sound good to me, but someone already had my celery suggestion so i thought i'd throw it out there.

i used to have a chocolate chip muffin every morning for breakfast.......then i started this and found out it was 600 calories!!!!! that's 1/2 of my daily allowance!!!!!! no more muffins for me, i'll stick to yogurt

so i've been doing really well for the past 3 weeks and i've been sticking to my calories. i like to look at the other components too though and i've noticed that my fat intake is usually 5-8 grams less than my goal and my protein is always 2-3 more. Is this good, or is it important to stick to those goals as well? i know…

how did you all get this memo my boss sent out?

Dannon was my favorite too.....i switched to yoplait light (all those yummy flavors the woman talks abou on the phone while her husband looks through the fridge for them...) they're 100 calories, but it's so worth it....they are sooooo gooood

Hi, this is the 1st time i've ever posted anything on here... if you're busting your butt running, swimming and biking you're probably putting on muscle. Have you been taking your measurements? i would try that.
