blackened, rare

Also try the Peeled Snacks brand line. They are usually one-two servings per container, fresh, and delicious!

These are also good with some peanut butter smeared on them!

Oskri Fruit & Nut bars: They have 12g of fiber and a good bit of protein. (can't remember exactly how many grams.) P90X Rest & Recovery formula: 10g protein 1g fiber. This stuff really gives me back my energy after an intense and/or lengthy cardio workout.

Thank you! Very uplifting!!!

Oh, I so crave workouts! When I don't workout, I get down in the dumps!

I do get panic attacks. I have been getting them since High School (12 years or so) so I can pretty much handle them when I feel them coming on. I don't go to a gym, but maybe the social aspect of working out at a gym in front of other people may have you a little freaked out??? I know social situations sometimes freak me…

You need a hobby.... Paint, sow, create, read, read the Bible, (even if you don't believe, there are still great stories, but in my case I DO believe, and I have read it through almost twice, very time consuming) Crafting is good. Scrapbooking Painting (as mentioned above) re-organize re-arrange clean dance around like a…

Amen sister!

Mmmmmmm..... you are my friend

I usually do V8 and yogurt. Not mixed together of course. or Peanut Butter and Banana, WW has great ice cream bars that are to die for around 100-150 calories.

AMAZING! And such great motivation for all of us struggling to stay on track!

Hi! I"m 28, trying to lose 30! Let's do this!!!!! Hello new friends!!!! :flowerforyou: :happy:

Yes, whole grains are good for you. You should get whole grains everyday.

One more thing, those two pounds you say you gained were more than likely not from the sugar. THat's probably water or other metabolic processes. You can fluctuate 2-4 lbs/day. Weigh-in only once a week or once a month.

Try switching to mainly whole foods. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, chicken (organic or natural some contain a lot of sodium), FISH!! Natural plain yogurt, whole grains such as oatmeal, barley, quinoa. Another thing to remember, most of the NON processed foods are on the outter rim of the grocery store. Try to stay awa…

Good advice

So funny I love it

Cold Turkey worked for me. I've stayed quit for 6 years now. Did not gain any when I did quit. However, I still want one when having a beer, but as soon as I take a pull, I know why I quit. You may want to not set a date for quitting. You should just do it. It's kind of like dieting. There is no "I'll start Monday," or…

It happens to the best of us! And in your case, the best of the best! I'm newlywed as well (even though we got married two years ago :)) I gained 30lbs when we got hitched. I'm working on my weight loss too. Keep trying. Keep pushing yourself. You know you can do it. You are in the army, national guard! If you can do that,…

I understand this thread "explains" the mathematics of losing weight, but MFP does all this calculating for you. I need 1600 for maintenance. 1200 net to lose. I exercise (on a good day) about an hour doing TurboFIre (657 calories burned +/-) So I usually consume 1800 calories, which almost nets 1200. Therefore, I'm eating…

Any kind of marinade will make it juicy. If you want it dry, I would probably season with a little kosher salt and some lemon pepper or cracked pepper. It may not be as juicy.

I think you are suppose to consume the exercise calories. I don't like to, and I wasn't eating them before, but I never really lost anything, so now, I have started consuming my exercise calories. I just started this so will let you know how it goes. When I ate just 1200 calories though, I was famished almost all of the…

I ate from 7:15-7:25 (in a hurry) I thre w up at 7:35. I was driving down road talking to husband on phone and had to pull over to get sick. I hurt

good idea

Great job! 2 lbs is a great achievement!

My FB is blocked too at work :( but not MFP! Yay

Well, my husband and I are going to expand eventually. I too want to lose some weight before I get preggers. I think being healthy and in good shape will make the pregnancy easier, and it'll be beneficial for a child. I know what you mean about it always being in your face. Our two best couple friends both have a child…
