I eat 5 - 6 times a day too

I had the pleasure of meeting Richard Simmons a number of years ago at a work conference. They brought him in for an early morning fitness session. Even have a picture of him sitting on my lap! lol He was a truly sincere, nice guy. And we did have fun with the workout that day.

Add it either as a recipe or a Meal. If you add it as one of your Meals you can see the individual items and adjust the quantity if necessary. If you don't care about that, add it as a recipe.

Getting cable installed tomorrow so I can actually watch the game!!! Then probably some baked parmesan garlic wings, homemade black bean and roasted corn salsa, veggies, and lots of water!

I started riding mine at 375 pounds. I bought a year-old Cannondale road bike on clearance. I got the one with the larger wheel size which makes it even easier to ride. Even on clearance, I still spent almost $500 on it, but it's well worth it for the comfort and ease. I use it far more than I would have a cheaper, more…

There are some calorie burning calculators out on the internet that factor in current weight, height, average heart rate during exercise and the duration. I took the formulas and built my own spreadsheet that I use to calculate things like that. The calculations are usually quite a bit less than MFP calculates ... but I…

Welcome to the family!! I've been where you are too. At my heaviest I was 450 lbs ... but like you, nobody would have guessed I was that heavy. I've lost 120 lbs so far, but it's taken me 5 years of losing and gaining and losing again ... so I've actually lost FAR more weight than that. I'm getting older and I'm tired of…

Your BMR is 1968 based on the info you just gave. I don't know that I'd qualify what you're doing as sedentary. Chasing that little one around at least qualifies you for lightly active!! So that puts your TDEE at 2706. At a 20% calorie reduction, that would put you at 2164 calories per day. Add in 400 calories for…

My goal right now is 90 lbs. It's taken me over 7 years but I've already lost 120 lbs and kept it off. I'm hoping this next 90 doesn't take nearly as long!! My goal weight is 240 lbs which may seem like a lot still to some people, but I will be so happy to be in the solid 200's. I want to spend a few years maintaining that…

Almost all of my weight loss has been by counting calories alone. I've walked and done some stationary bike, and as my weight dropped my natural daily activity increased, but I haven't hit the gym hard. I definitely need to do some toning, but still need to drop a bit more weight to make it easier.

Meghan6867 was the winner of this challenge with a 6 pound weight loss!!! Way to go! I will send you a message to get your name and address so I can send you a lovely card from Utah. Meghan ... you will then host the next round of the challenge. Congrats again!!

This is your last chance to post your weight from Friday for this challenge!! I will be calculating the winner tomorrow morning.

Per Snopes.com: This item extolling the medicinal virtues of honey and cinnamon is based upon a 17 January 1995 article that appeared in the Weekly World News, the erstwhile supermarket tabloid known for publishing the fantastically fictional, so as a piece of medical literature it should be taken with many grains of salt.…

Hope you're all keeping up with your weight loss journey!! Just a reminder that the final weigh-in is this Friday.

I pack all my food for the work day before I leave home, and then I log it all as soon as I get to work. A lot of times I won't be as hungry as I thought I might be, so I adjust what I eat during the day and usually have some nuts in my drawer so if I need extra protein I can grab a few. It also helps me pre-plan what I'm…

A couple of times a year I'm begged by various friends and co-workers to make an amazing concoction affectionately known as "pig candy". Here's how it goes: Take thick sliced pepper bacon. Place the slices on a baking rack on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil (VERY important). Coat the bacon with a mixture of brown sugar,…

The next step is where they ask you to contact them off the site ... and give you a yahoo, msn or gmail address. That way nothing they say can be tracked by the site moderators and it makes it harder for anyone to prosecute them if they ask ... and get ... any money, etc. Definitely agree you need to report it!!

Just finished watching all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights. How did I miss that show when it was on TV??!!!

Buying an HRM and a new pair of walking shoes. Probably getting the serpentine belt replaced on my car before it decides to break. Paying off my credit cards, and putting some money towards a week long trip to Germany later this year to see my son and his family who are stationed over there!!!

My BMR is 2291. CW: 325 Height: 5' 8" Age: 48 Weight Goal (initial): 250

Yes, I log everything I eat. And I measure everything. I've checked my calorie goal against numerous other calculators, including consulting my personal trainer and it's right in line with my BMR and activity level.

My calorie goal for 1 lb/wk is 2,190/day. Last week I averaged 2,000 net calories/day. The week before I averaged 1,780 net calories/day. The week before that was about 1,850 net calories/day. I've been consistently losing 1 - 1.5 pounds per week up to this point ... just been the last 3 weeks where nothing is moving. I…

Let's just preface this with I was young and very stupid ... I'd found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks before. We had talked about getting married, but I told him I didn't want him to feel obligated to marry me unless he really wanted to. The night of the proposal we had driven down to the small hick town where his…
