I don't eat the Chobani, but I LOVE the oikos organic brand. I love all the flavors, but my favorite is the Caramel on the bottom. Delish!

I do the weight room and run 3 days a week, I do whatever sounds fun on Tuesdays and Thursdays - sometimes aerobics, sometimes swimming laps, sometimes I'll go for an extra run if the weather is beautiful. I increase my weight on the machines whenever it starts getting "easy", so I think I am keeping myself challenged…

I work nights 7 on 7 off...the only day I don't sleep is my going off day. I don't usually give myself any extra calories that day - I start counting at midnight, I eat at around 3-4am, eat again when I get home about 10 am or so, a snack right before going to the gym at about 1 pm, then dinner with my family around 6 pm.…

I promise you can do it! My ticker says 78 pounds, but I lost some befor joining MFP...I"m actually lost 82 pounds and have about 15 to go. Not quite as lofty a goal as yours, but still a huge amount of weight! It just takes time and perserverance. You are worth it!

To the person who asked about workouts...on a normal week (one that I don't have a child with the flu), I do the weight circuit, some ab work, and run 5k Monday and Wednesday, then a long run on Fridays (right now I'm at 7.5 miles, working my way up to the half marathon coming up...I'm gonna run it all this year), and go…

I was on a plateau for a while...really didn't lose much of anything from the end of November to the middle of February...I tried eating all my exercise calories, I tried not eating any of them, I tried everything. I finally called a dietician/nutritionist and we went over some things...what is working for me (finally…

Every other Saturday moprning, 1 cream filled long john and 1 cherry bismark with a pint of chocolate milk. That was just on the way home, once home, I'd usually eat 1 more donut out of the box...I calculate it at about 1500 calories, but who really knows for sure with donuts...but they were SINFULLY delicious. I've had…

As far as being under my net...I don't have a HRM, so I am hesitant to eat ALL my exercise calories. I ate on average about 200 calories over my goal of 1250, as was recommended by a dietician I've been seeing, so I'm eating extra, just not all my exercise calories. Thankfully the cookie is now gone, so the temptation is…

My goal is 96 pounds (almost 100). I've lost 81 so far (my MFP ticker is after I had already lost some). It has taken me a year so far to lose the 81, and I'm expecting another 6 months or so for the last 15, as it is coming off MUCH slower now.

readyseteat.com (that's ready set eat). Not all the recipes are healthy, but they are all 30 minutes or less and all list nutrition information. The maple mustard pork with sweet potatoes was fabulous!

I don't log my water because truly, I'd never quit logging. I only drink water (with or without crystal light). No sodas or milk or juice or anything else (except the occasional diet hot cocoa if it is really cold out, but I log it). I get in probably 10-12 16 ounce bottles/glasses per day. I already do strength training 3…

I work nights - I also eat a cereal or eggs - breakfast type foods in the morning when I get off and my regular dinner with the family in the evening - I pack several frozen dinners - lean cuisine, healthy choice, or smart ones - they are all pretty tasty - to work (and a case of bottles of water) at the beginning of the…

I had a very small piece of chocolate cake at a party last night - the first one in a year - and felt nauseous for 3 hours after...SOOO not worth it!

One of my favorite snacks/breakfasts is a banana with nutella spread on it...It only takes about 1 teaspoonful to do the trick and the whole thing is less than 200 calories!

I you have an Aldi, their price is the best around on produce and is usually really good quality. There isn't much faster or good on the go than fruit...the ultimate pre-packaged to go snack.

If you feel like youshould go, go out for a run, preferably one with no bathroom in sight - guaranteed you'll have to go in the middle! ;)

The thing is, on a 1200-1300 calorie diet, chocolate cake (or really any other truly sinful sweet) NEVER fits into the meal plan. 1 piece of cake is as many calories as I eat for a meal now ( or more if it is really sinful), so when making good choices, cake is NEVER a good choice, so I never eat it. I'm just really…

I never thought about puttin git under sledding...I guess that's my duh moment of the day. I don't have an HRM yet - I've ordered it, but it hasn'tarrived yet. That would make things so much easier...

Keep it up, you'll get there. I was right where you are last summer...Today I ran 5 miles and burned over 550 calories. It will come, just don't give up.

I've been doing this for almost a year now and lost almost 80 pounds - I eat right around my 1200 calories a day, somewhere between 1100-1300 so that it balances out to an average of about 1200 per day. My goal is to exercise 3 days a week, sometimes I do more, on rare occasions I only make 2 days. I don't "eat back my…

Definately Donut Bank Donuts - used to be an every Saturday treat, but with 1 donut clocking in at 470 calories PLUS with basically no nutritional value, it has to go by the wayside for me.

bump...I've always wanted to try it but fear the reaction from my carb loving family...

I crave chocolate ice cream and the sugar free fudgecicles are really good (even my kids like them) and they are only 35 calories. I can almost always fit that into my day!

I didn't eat my exercise calories for the first 8-10 months and lost pretty steadily, then started eating my exercise calories 3 weeks ago b/c I 'm pretty close to goal and have GAINED 4 pounds. I haven't always been eating all of them, but have been more lax and allowing myself to eat more on the days I exercise. This…
