Kylee!!! I love you <3 Glad to see you here!

Alex!! <3 Hearts Was going to ask how the Oregon move was going. You'll find everyone here at MFP is reeeeeally great, and really supportive. Note to the rest of you: Alex is amazing, and you know you want to be her friend! <3 P.S. I'm going to need help getting back on the wagon after we deal with having company staying…

I think this is a big part of it. For example, in my fridge I have some extra lean 95/5 beef and some jeni-o lean ground turkey 99% fat free. Here's what the labels say: TURKEY 4oz (1oz more than beef below) serving 120 cals 2 fat, 1 saturated 55 cholesterol 70 sodium 0 carbs 26 protein BEEF 3oz (1oz less than turkey…

Congratulations! Were you trying at 1200 and then you upped to 1400? I'm having a slow start and I'm trying to stick to 1200 cals currently. I work out nearly every day for 2-300 additional calories (more if I rollerblade) but I eat most of those back. I am totally prepared for 1lb a week and not going faster than that,…

I don't post often, but you're eating a dangerously low amount of calories with what you've posted for your daily plan for 2 weeks. Dangerously low. You should never go below 1200 calories a day. Check out some of the other posts around here about eating below 1200 calories - you're basically putting your body into…

I have one, but it doesn't have the chest strap. To me, it's not as accurate, because for the wrist component only to detect my heart rate I have to update it manually by pressing down the button on the watch with a fleshy part of my thumb (to complete/close the circut and allow it to get my heart rate) -- and a lot of…

I'm 29 :) Not that young :\ So the estimate is 220 - 29, so 191. Interesting. Thanks for all of the help everyone :)

I've heard some good things about their new grilled chicken -- another member posted some nutritional info on here (for her total meal she'd had the grilled chicken sandwich - no bun - green beans and a serving of mashed potatoes without gravy) and the values for things like fat, calories and carbs were WAY below what I'd…

Wow, amazing photos! I wish this could get stickied so that others and new people that come who are worrying about numbers on the scale vs. how they look and feel (those photos are living proof!!) can see that it's not about the scale.

Exactly! Getting outside isn't always an option and I think you'll get just as good a workout by putting the effort in on your wii fit as you would putting effort on exercise outdoors. You get out what you put in, no matter what (or where) it is. :)

I suppose it's possible that someone who just went out for a run vs. using the wii running system may lose more, however... for some people, running is boring. I enjoy jogging outside and don't have the wii fit yet (we had a break-in, and our wii was stolen) BUT I do know that it's hard to get motivated some days to get…

Hoosier girl here, living currently in Canada but moving back to Indiana this summer with hubby.

I don't see anyone attacking YOU specifically. It's not directed at you -- it's directed in general at the author of the article and the mentality it wants to persuade us of, and since you posted a somewhat controversial topic on a fitness forum, you should realize people are going to "debate it" and/or tear it apart and…

Let's face it, if we are going to have sweets ... better to have a somewhat lower calorie sweet than going out and eating half a chocolate cake, complete with chocolate icing and ice cream on the side. Everything in moderation. Personally for me, I KNOW I need something sweet after dinner. I've tried just fruit, but it…

I used to have 3 piercings in my ears and one up top on my left ear but now I only actually put earrings in the first holes and let the rest heal up. My skin in general apparently is too sensitive to so much metal or something -- no matter what I used, once I got the third holes everything got really infected all the time.…

yum!!

This sounds delish!

/agree... SODA! :)

I had some cream of wheat with a little splenda to sweeten it, and a slice of weight watcher's whole wheat toast with a tsp of light margarine. I typically only have time for the cream of wheat and then take a fibre one or curves granola bar to work for my mid-morning snack, but I'm at home this morning so I had the toast.…

3 meals, 2-3 snacks (the 2-3 snacks depends on my workout for the day. it can turn into 3 snacks depending on the exercise or the way I manage my time for the day since I like to spread all of my meals and snacks out as evenly as possible)

We found this frozen salmon in the freezer at Safeway -- absolutely amazing. The brand is High-Liner and it's salmon in an herb and garlic sauce. Each fillet is individually sealed and we throw two pieces in a small baking dish and just follow the baking instructions for the oven on the side of the box to cook. It takes…

If you notice at the start of the day before you add exercise in, your calories at the bottom for the day should read 1800 or whatever. Then when you add exercise, that number will automatically adjust and go up the 465 calories you exercised off -- so it *should* say 2265 is your limit for the day, so by eating back those…

The daily allowance you're given from my fitness pal (in your case, 1284) is already a deficit of calories for your body. MFP calculates a safe deficit based on all of the factors you gave it when you set your goals and chose a deficit that would help you healthily lose a pound a week or whatever. 1284 is REALLY low on…

Welcome from another Albertan! (Calgary here) :) Good luck to you, glad to have you at MFP :flowerforyou:

yayayayayyyyyyyyyyy! SO glad to hear it :heart:

I second this sentiment. Goodbye and good luck, Banks. Thanks for all you've done for us and thanks for all of the inspiration you've given to so many.

I got an email from BeachBody.com today with some yummy sweet ideas, and these low-fat pumpkin cookies were one of them: And since fall is coming, think about making cookies with some of the seasonal ingredients coming around the bend, like this recipe from the Team Beachbody™ recipe archive for low-fat pumpkin cookies:…

Ooh, now that's a good idea! The main problem for me is that I'm watching my carbs a bit. Not doing anything crazy like Atkins, but Diabetes is very present in my family. I know I'm at risk if I'm not careful, so I'm trying to get a jump on things early and watch my sugar and carb intake. My dad's doctor explained that…
