  • Sweet! We had a 66 red GTO when I was growing up. That was our family car (6 of us crammed into it)
  • It's a nickname my husband gave me (and also the tat on the back of my neck). I'm always hot and get really hot at night (fire) and he says I am his beautiful swan. :smooched: --- or I'm ugly now and I'll be a swan when I grow up?? :noway:
  • Absolutely! I actually like it better than the Wii (since you don't have to use controllers). As with anything, it all depends on the effort you put into it. I've been using the following games and they definitely build up a sweat (while having fun): Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2; Dance Central 1 & 2; UFC Personal Trainer;…
  • mmm, that sounds delicious...I must try this!
  • I was a Geek before Geek's were cool ... now where did I put that 5 1/4", it has my resume on it? just sayin'
  • Not sure how long the chicken will last, but I usually keep mine for about 7-9 days...by then we've eaten it all anyway. Here's a couple of ideas: > You can use the whole wheat misson tortillas and make wraps or even make quesadillas with the chicken. (that's what I do) > Baked Eggs for breakfast: mix the shredded chicken…
  • The picture I posted on page 7 of this thread is a REAL picture (i took it). I put in the recipe I used. Enjoy
  • ^^^ Yeah, stupid onions!! *sniff*
  • Okay, so I made them tonight, but as savory pancakes. They came out beautifully! I used 2 eggs - separate whites from yolks. Beat whites until light and foamy. In a separate bowl I mixed the softened cream cheese and egg yolks. Then fold everything together. I added salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian…
  • Looks Yummy! I'm going to try and make these tonight. I checked for hints on cooking these on several different low carb forums and the recipe is slightly different. 2 oz cream cheese 2 eggs (whites/yolks separated) 1 packet stevia sweetener 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) They use 2 full eggs instead of just egg whites.…
  • Wow, 20lbs in 2 months is pretty quick. way to go.
  • When I feel the cravings coming on, the first thing I do is up my water intake. Lots and Lots of water and green iced tea for me. It helps with the cravings and the bloating. I also keep a few bars of Godiva dark chocolate on hand and have a square or 2 per day. For me, it takes less dark chocolate to curb the craving than…
  • I've been using the 4Hour Body slow carb and my treat day is either Friday or Saturday (depending on my plans). This really helps me to make slow/low carb a lifestyle change if I know I can have a day to have whatever I want. Although, I find that after a few of those days on my next treat day I really don't want junk so I…
  • yeah, because people that are eating 6,500 calories are actually losing weight. :noway: Why do you have to be so rude? The same kinds of half-arsed remarks can be made about any way of eating... "These cookies are fat free, so I can eat the whole box" "I'm vegetarian, so I only eat mac & cheese" sheesh
  • :noway: You did it now...can of worms has been opened... :ohwell: <<<edit...tried to post a can of worms picture here to be snarky..didn't work :sad: This is a hot topic on MFP. The way I look at it is this: For some people low fat and calorie counting works just fine, for others low carb and calorie counting works. You…
  • If you would like some really great 4HB recipes, check out this 4 hour people site. There are great recipes here for the 4HB diet. I just made the Beans and pork loin slow cooker recipe...delicious! http://4hourpeople.com/search/?q=recipes
  • To the OP: WOW you look great! Congrats. Buying smaller jeans is one of my absolutely favorite NSV. I'm hoping to buy a new pair in April!! Typically odd number sizes in the US are considered "teen" or "junior" sizes. They are typically a slimmer fit than misses sizes (even numbers). can I just tell you how much I hate…
  • Yeah, I'm a little worried too, but the way I see it is like this: What I'm currently doing isn't working, what I've done before didn't work. I'll try this for 2 weeks and see how it goes. If I lose, then I know what to do! If I stay the same or gain, then I know I need to do something else. Every BODY is different so what…
  • Thank you for this! I've been at a stall and have been so frustrated. I'll try upping my calories and protien. I'm already on a Slow Carb diet (4hr body) and I know they say not to track calories, but I like to write down everything I eat so I know what I'm doing wrong and right. And since MFP has set 1200 calories for me…
  • Not that I wear a lot of makeup, but I'm going to the gym on my lunch hour and I don't have time to take off my makeup before my fitness class. So what if I look hot at the beginning of my workout .... By the end, I am a sweaty, smelly mess and don't really care what other people think. :laugh:
  • lately, I've been "sweetening" my coffee with cinnamon. I've found I don't need to use splenda in my coffee if I put cinnamon in it. Of course, it could be a mind trick, since I associate cinnamon with sweets because I grew up on cinnamon & sugar toast.
  • If it were happening to me, I would first start by checking to see if he is a registered sex offender or has a record. Speak with your landlord about what is going on, see if they can be of help. Not that the police can do anything because he is "creepy", but I would talk to my local police station and see what could be…
  • I started out eating clean, now I'm adding in the 4HB (Slow Carb) diet. It was actually a great transition. I was already eating clean, so all I basically had to do was cut out the flours and grains. I really don't eat processed foods, except mabye a protein shake for a snack as needed. I make my lunches for the week on…
  • Welcome to 4HB! Yeah, I'm on week 3, so far I really like it. I'm finding that mentally taking notes on foods I really want, then having them on my cheat day is working great. Although, today is my cheat day and I really find I don't want most of those things I was caving earlier! It is hard getting used to eating within…
  • Yes, I am reading this.... Hmmm, should I be snarky :devil: or sweet.:flowerforyou: ??? I'll be sweet....thank you honey, love you :heart:
  • Do you belong to a gym? If so, they'll usually weigh you and keep record if you ask them. If MFP is working for you and the only reason you want to go to WW is to weigh in, this may be a cheaper option. Ditto on joining a challenge or picking someone from MFP to help keep you accountable on your weekly weigh ins. edit->…
  • ^^^ THIS ^^^ :laugh:
  • Ha! These are funny! If using Pet/Street : Truly Shadyland hmmm....I sound suspicious :huh:
