I use ground turkey anywhere I would use gound beef. To me it tastes about the same but has a lighter feeling. Like spaghetti and meat sauce doesn't sit as heavy. I have had jennie-O turkey burgers and they are okay but I prefer a beef hamburger.

Went to the fitbit site and found a way to set stride length. I don't have it with me today so I will try it tomorrow.

Is there some kind of settings you have to do. Mine said that I had way more steps than my old school pedometer and it also said I did stairs and I didn't do any stairs. It didn't have very much in the way of instructions. I am not giving up on it. So many people love it and I will keep trying!!

I just ordered one. 99.95 and free shipping. Can't wait to get it and start using it!!

Fruit sugar is something known as FRUCTOSE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose "Fructose is broken down by the body slowly and is converted into SUCROSE and GLYCOGEN. Fructose is often recommended for, and consumed by, people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia, because it has a very low Glycemic Index (GI 23)…

I loved the series. Karen Moning's Fever series is great and I also loved the House of Night series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.

I am restarting too. Good Luck to us all. BTW the movie was "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

Love this thread!

How funny!! I had frosted strawberry Pop Tarts this morning!

I never really liked my maiden name and NO ONE pronounces it correctly. That is really the only reason I wouldn't change mine. I don't see a problem with you changing yours. Do what makes YOU happy!

"As far as I know he still lives in his grandparents attic" Love this!!!

Great job! You are truly an inspiration!

You can add me and there are some of my friends that are very helpful and inspiring! :smile:

I can't find it online but I remember years ago Marilu Henner said that she hated exercise so instead of any "formal" exercise she would blast the music and dance around the house. I myself hate exercise but I like to walk in groups. You usually walk at a good pace and you are talking so you don't really notice that you…

Congrats to you and Happy Birthday! I have been there before and I want to get back there for good. I have a long way to go but I think I will get there and I am already wanting to help others get there too!

For mothers day my daughter and I went to Pot Belly's I had an original roast beef with provalone , mushrooms and lettuce, bac of BBQ ranch chips and a chocolate brownie cookie. a whopping 1100+ calories. Didn't really eat much else and it was followed by a 3 mile walk. Really the cookie was the "bad" part and I regret…

I just love MFP!!!

Sending you a request! :happy:

There was a post on here a few weeks back that was just before and now/after face pics. The difference was amazing. I have a problem that every time I lose weight I look the same to myself in the mirror. Even when I had lost 45 pounds I still looked the same to me. This time I am going to document it in pictures all along…

I would guess mid 20's.

I do both MFP and WW. I log and track everything on MFP and I like WW for the meetings and "official" weigh in. It helps me stay accountable. As for my eating, I go to Diabetes Centers of America and I am doing what my doctor tells me to do for my calories and stuff. BTW if anyone is a diabetic and struggling with it and…

You can totally see the difference!

Usually when you join a gym they take you around and show you how to use the equipment. Ask someone to do that. Best of luck to you!! You CAN do this!! :)

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting such an inspirational story. The thing I need to learn is patience. I am sure I am not alone in that. Thanks again!!

I had not thought about it but I say that too, that muscle weight more than fat. I know what I meant, it jut sounds funny. If you had a bucket of fat and a bucket of the same amount of muscle, the muscle would weigh more because it is denser.

Totally Cool!!

Holy moly these are all so inspiring!!! Congrats and continued success to all of you!!
