Just get it withouth the bun to save a little bit of calories. That's what I did today. I had in mind to go to Wendy's and get a chicken sandwich but then I saw they have a portabella bacon burger out. Yummm. Just couldn't resist it. It was worth every stinkin calorie and gram of fat!

Most importantly, get back to logging and sticking within your macro goals. Exercise when you can but don't beat yourself up for not getting to the gym. I was beating myself up for not getting up at 5 am to get to the gym. It was way more constructive to figure out alternate ways to get activity in. AKA hiking, running,…

Wow! You are beautiful!:love:

Lets not forget Richard Gere, Tom Selleck & George Clooney.

Wow you look beautiful and younger! These are the pictures that I'm hoping for next May!

And to add, my youngest eats healthier than my other child but do you want to know why he's healthier overall? OUTSIDE TIME! Another poster mentioned extending recess time. Much better idea than cutting as they have been.

I guess it's ok that they have adjusted the lunches but it is a parents responsibility to feed their children properly. If they have an allergy, it is definately the parents responsibility, not the schools. Everyone seems to forget that we had children to take care of them, not force others to do so. It's not like the…

That I have kids!

I was good also for the 1st 2 months or so. Then I couldn't get myself up in the morning to keep up the exercise. I was beating myself up for it, like you are. All I can say is keep control of the food. If you have to, give yourself one cheat meal a week. Maybe you were being too hard on yourself, having it too hard to…

I'm in! CW: 229 10/31 weight: 209

Friday mornings 1st thing after I use the bathroom. I'm completely naked to get the lowest weight possible! I also usually weigh more after working out because I tend to drink a lot of water. It just worked out for Fridays becuase a Friday was my 1st day on MFP. It works now becuase I eat better during the week when my…

I'm 5'5" with 2 kids and am now in a size 16 or 18. I wish mine was all due to my pg belly but it is pretty evenly spaced :smile: . The advice I can give is just keep plugging along. Make sure you log everything as I know I was shocked by even the items that I thought were "healthy". Workout when you can schedule it in.…

Yum! I like the apple & grapes idea

bump!

I was mentioning to a couple of friends of how much I admire their ability to get up at 5am to go to the gym many mornings that I could NEVER do that. They told me I just had to want it bad enough. That's when I decided, no more excuses, lets get this done!

I agree. I have noticed the same thing. As long as we're losing though, slow & steady will win this race.

^ This. I plan on getting off regular logging on MFP eventually but if I start sliipping, I'm coming right back! Also, watch your water & sodium intake.

Use your judgement and only eat 1/2 of what they serve. I always ask for the to go box with the meal so I'm not tempted to eat more than 1/2.

^ This. If you go by a cornfield anymore, many are labled with a name & number. When I started seeing this a couple of years ago my original thought is that they were using something on the corn and they had to mark it so they knew the difference (trial & error maybe?). Especially this time of year, buy from a farmers…

Wow! You look wonderful. I started out at 263 so I really love to see these kind of transformations. You did a wonderful job! Hopefully I'll look like that by next spring. How long did this take you?

At least for me, my sex drive is related to how sexy I feel. Therefore, the skinnier I am, the sexier I feel. I have had this same discussion with my sister who has noticed the exact same thing.

PB cost was always a factor for me. Especially now that it has skyrocketed. I looked at the nutritional values of reg vs. light and there really wasn't that much difference. Planters just came out with their own PB and it's lower calories than the rest. I figured I'd try it. It's delicious! The 1st ingredient is peanuts…

Looks like you have a pretty good list but don't forget the fruit and make sure you have a refillable water bottle to carry around with you.

bump for sure. Yummo. Would be a good alternative for my kids

I found Joseph's heart healthy pita. The entire pita has 60 calories. Usually 1/2 pita will suffice for a sandwich. I use them for everything, lunch sandwiches, egg sandwich for breakfast and my favorite is pita calzones. You just stuff the pita with low fat ricotta, mozzie, sauce & turkey peperoni then bake. Yummy!

I got the C25K app last week and it was free. One week in and I'm still going. It's really not that bad surprisingly. I love it!
