if you're getting it takeout i would almost guarantee they put a lot of ghee (or butter if they are cheap) on the rice to make it taste better. then again it's def a better option than tikka masala. if you want to really go for the gold health wise, get tandoori chicken or just chicken tikka, both are as healthy as you…

Results from Monday... Exercise: Tonight is my last kettlebell class with my trainer before she moves to CA. I'm going to give it my all! -ok, so like 90% effort but walked home from work... Diet: Get back on track with the food - portions and healthy choices. Also, 5 cups of water before 6:30 PM. -did just OK with food -…

@Wendy - you should log that cleaning and shopping time! it counts - i don't know about you but i totally break a sweat when i clean my apartment and i live in a studio! oh, and my bf is the WORST when it comes to food. he won't eat whole wheat anything and complains when i make things with the word "healthy" in it. he's…

@Trying - Have you thought about increasing your cals a bit if you're working out? 1200 is pretty low.

Hey all! I know I didn't check in at all this weekend - I kind of "checked out" and just decided to enjoy myself with this hurricane. I was stuck in my apt with my boyfriend. Managed to get to the gym on Saturday but def ate like crap both days (but mostly homemade crap at least). Goals... Exercise: Tonight is my last…

Hey! Sorry for my absence yesterday - I was travelling to clients all day. I didn't really make goals other than to NOT stop for fast food while on the road (got a turkey sandwhich at the deli instead) and to meet my trainer even though I was feeling a little under the weather (we just did weights not cardio). Goals…

@Jenni - maybe try either the flatbread or the rice at dinner but not both (less carbs at night). instead, try a steamed veggie (bird's eye makes frozen steam-in bags) or fresh (get a pack of zip-lock microwave steamers, no mess!) and use some "i can't believe it's not butter spray" or some parmesan cheese on the veggies.…

Congrats on reaching your goals! What kind of scale did you order? I don't even have a digital one which I love/hate because my weight can go up/down a lb depending on how I stand...you've got me thinking I should get a better one.

Morning! I 1/2 achieved yesterdays goals - ate 3 tbsp of dressing instead of 2 but did manage to throw out the other like 1/4 cup =). I definitely did a tough workout with my trainer - my legs were on FIRE - but I could have pushed harder. My Daily Goals... Fitness: Walk to and from all my meetings, even the one that's a…

I change at home because I live 3 blocks from my gym so mine is lighter =) Keys Phone Wallet iPod Heart Rate Monitor Inhaler Refillable Water Bottle Spin Shoes - if I'm going to spin

Not sure where you live or what your price range is but I've had the best experiences at smaller shops where you can get help from someone and the sales people are more experienced/will cater to what looks good on your body =)

That's such a good idea! We have a fridge for 4,000 people to share so I tend to lose things in there but I've tried bringing it in pre-portioned cups that day. It's just so tempting when I go out for a salad and the dressing is so good! I usually get the full fat because I am more satisfied (unless the light is really…

Hey everyone! I came close to keeping up with my trainer during Kettlebells - my lower back hurts when I use heavier weights and I had some problems keeping up with the squat jumps. I still managed to burn about 800 calories in 70 minutes though. I also threw out the banana bread and made banana fudge pops instead =). I'm…

steamed shrimp/chicken/tofu with veggies, sauce on the side - most places will do no oil too =)

as i posted this topic i KNEW Av was going to comment, i almost gave you a shoutout in the original post

thanks, that was PERFECT

yum! that sounds like a good one...i might add some cocoa powder

i'm looking for something different, like the kind you would get in a banana fudge bomb not just a skewered banana with melted chocolate!

Name: Jackie Height: 5'1 CW: 175 (even though I won't acknowledge the 3lbs I gained on MFP) Goal Weight by Thanksgiving: 163 Favorite workouts: Walking (I live in Manhattan so it's easy to integrate), Kettlebells, and SPINNING Other: Working full time in sales (7am - 5:30 pm), super unhealthy but not fat boyfriend, living…

i burn about 800/hr using 15-22lb weights (15 is my light). my workouts are VERY aerobic with squat thursts, jumps, pushups, etc mixed in. i also take a 5 min break and do abs for 10 minutes at the end...so i guess it's more like 700 in 45 min? either way you should def get an hrm for this type of exercise.

bump!

I would love to join - I haven't been able to find a group yet but would love to!

you can get a really good one for $75 by timex - it was rated the top one by consumer reports. i would suggest that - you sweat a LOT on the strap

I'm game!

Is anyone else having trouble with the google docs links? I posted a reply and would love to officially register but I can't get the google docs link to work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?authkey=CJyH9_8P&authkey=CJyH9_8P&hl=en_US&formkey=dG9XQlYzeUxSUjhqeGxtbzZZRzlELUE6MQ#gid

fiber one cereal - make sure you drink like 2 glasses of water with it or it will make it worse prunes, fresh fruit, salad - just stay away from bananas

yum!
