I have actually just recently posted two different quinoa recipes, on my daily cooking blog. One was a week ago Sunday and the other the weekend before that. You can check out my cooking blog by going to www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65 I have become a real fan of quinoa.

I JUST did a Mahi-Mahi recipe Wednesday night! I posted the recipe on my daily cooking blog! You can find that by going to www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65. The meat easily peeled out of the skin.

Hi there, I know exactly how you FEEL because that is exactly how I was but is was for about the first three months! I think I got my first MFP friend just after my third month! But I was on a mission, I was going to do it "this time," and just kept plugging away, day after day. NOW I am 16 months down the road, 110 pounds…

My calorie allotment is 1520, just changed my goals last month and it was 1810. For the first 6-9 months I always ate all my exercise calories but now I exercise, ALOT, and burn 1200-1800 calories a day so NO I don't eat ALL those back but ALWAYS eat my allotted! NOW, look at my ticker and my weight loss, I do believe it…

Sounds great

Sounds great

Bump and some ways you can save some calories are : Use Newmans Own salsa - 10 calories per tablespoon and 65mg sodium Use Weight Watchers Mexican four cheese Make your own taco seasoning and you can find several on allrecipes.com And there is a brand of rice called Hinode that is close to the same calories as brown but…

HAHAHAHA funny and good eye on your part! Funny, funny,funny! After my 110 pound weight loss I am OKAY with what I have been doing! Tell you what, you mind your own business and I will mind mine!

Here are my six week totals: I performed 4644 minutes of exercise I burned 64,738 calories I consumed 79,528 calories My personal goal of doubling everything was successful. I more than doubled the minutes, calories, and water each and every week I lost 9.2 pounds which broke a 10 week plateau and also put me in ONEderland…

@ 1crazymom You did a fantastic job during this six weeks, even with being a mommy first! You did well over the 350 minutes each and every week. A very good job to you! @ Jenn - Wow, look at those number of minutes that you completed! That is phenominal! You actually got in more minutes than I did and I hope that puts you…

After I close out my diary, tonight, and can add up my weekly calorie intake, I am going to total all of my numbers for the entire six weeks. I will post those tomorrow, including my measurements/weight.

Look at your minutes today! Fantastic! I think that is the best I have seen you do, in one day, so far! Way to go!

I hula hoop! I got a weighted one right after Christmas and did it on my own and now, just last week, they started a weekly class at my gym! You can burn about 600-700 calories an hour.

I just saw this in my "hungry girl" email yesterday! I am so looking forward to finding these! Glad to hear the positive comments about then. BTW I am just going to put this out there because tonight was the last straw, for me personally, to see this! She was giving feedback about a new thing she found! I don't think she…

Nice job! I here you about time! When our little grandson turned one, last September, I could not believe it and now we are knocking on 2's door! But we are very thankful that the birthdays have come since he was 3 1/2 months early and we almost lost him NUMEROUS times in his first four months of life!

Jenn, 30 miles, WHOA, fantastic! Good job!

I knew what you had going on Beth and knew you would post on here when you had the time! BTW, everyone here, take a look at Beth's new hairdo! She said she would shave her head if she raised OVER her goal for Relay for Life and GUESS WHAT? She did and she has a new hairdo!

Way to go! You have done FABULOUS during this challenge!

All I can say to you is THIS IS ONE AWESOME POST! I could not have said it better myself and you actually had the courage to post a thread that I have wanted to for some time! I tend to stay away from the message boards because of the "negative nancies'" "bullies," "KNOW IT ALLS'" and so on. It seems there is more…

Hi all, hope you made the best of your first day of our last week. I still have a little bit of the chest/head cold hanging around so I got in more than I have in the last four days, but also found it hard to breathe when I really got my heart rate pumping. Here is what I did get done today. I did 65 minutes of walk/run…

Time to move over to the new thread, WEEK 6! WOO HOO

Way to go, you really pushed yourself hard and put in a great week! Nice job!

I really don't blame you about working out in the heat! Although I complain about the cold here I would much rather live in the cold than a place that gets extremely hot! You did more than the requirements for the week and should be happy with your results for the week.

AWESOME Jenn! Wow is all I can say for our amount of minutes! I am willing to bet that you have burned more calories than that. I think I will have to come up with another kind of challenge! It seems that this one really got a few of you going! Although not everyone stayed with us, those of you that did have done this…
