I hear you. I just don't feel motivated to get up and get out doing something when it's cold and/or dark. However, I'm running in a 10k on Dec 15th so I have a reason to keep moving.

Your doing great! Happy birthday tomorrow.

I suggest you start walking outside regularly. Get used to the terrain and the outside temp's. After a few weeks, gradually increase your speed until finally you are jogging.

3 pounds. I just QA'd all my calories yesterday. I have no idea how much I really ate yesterday, and I don't want to know.

Oatmeal. I usually add either apples & cinnamon, or pumpkin. And sometimes plain with yogurt on top.

MFP has "strength training" and "calisthenics." Both of these are in the cardio exercises.

I usually go to allrecipes.com where my recipe box has just over 200 recipes. But I have to admit I don't usually follow the recipe exactly. I recently ran across the myrecipes website and it looks interesting, but honestly, I don't look around alot. Also, in years past I have made several of the cookies on…

I am 5'3. I lost the weight eating 1120 to 1250 plus exercise. In maintenance my calorie goal is set at 1420. I eat my exercise calories because I need more food to feel satisfied. So usually I eat 1600 - 1800, sometomes more. Add me if you want.

I've never used any of the external calorie counters. But I am in my goal weight range using nothing but MFP and my best honest entry of exercise and food.

Just say "Not today." We like to make sugar cookies with Ricotta cheese in the recipe. They are healthier, but I don't think that they are low calorie. I will make them eventually during the holiday season; and I will enjoy them. What helps me sometimes is to just say "not today." Because I know I will get to have some…

Pick out the seeds & eat them raw. I used to eat them as a kid. Yummy
