I'm really surprised I haven't seen this answer yet with all the responses... Lean Turkey (slices, breast, whatever) it's pretty low fat and high in protein. I also love turkey pepperoni. The stuff I buy (Hormel) is about 70 calories for 17 pieces and is 9 g I think. With a light cheese stick, this makes a pretty…

I think I've seen that at Costco. I was curious, but didn't want to spend quite that much ($299 when I looked).

I've used a Mio watch that you have to press two buttons and take your heart rate every couple of minutes. After about a year, only one button would go down and I could not get a reading while moving. Sometimes it was two minutes before I could get a reading and my heart rate would be lower by then. I now have a Polar FT7…

Please don't apologize for venting, that's what these forums are for... A Support System (which a good one will listen and then give constructive advice). I empathize with you, I've been dealing with a foot injury for 3 weeks now and most impact sports hurt (I cannot walk without special shoes on right now). I can't swim…

andrejjorje, I've seen you post Ney-Saying responses to a few posts. I'm not judging, but just asking, what are your opinions based on? Are you a medical professional? To the original poster: Very in your face without being hurtful! I loved it, it was a wake up call for me in many ways. Thank you for sharing. Love the…

OMG, I actually had an anxiety attack when my counselor recommended I try that as well as the exercises she was teaching me. Well, I flat out REFUSED to give up my caffeine completely (I am a self-made barista who loves her mochas), but I cut back from multiple quad mocha's a day to one (maybe two) doubles a day. I also…

I completely agree!!! I've been battling this cycle for decades. I typically do well for 4-7 days then I blow it and feel so bad about it I give myself permission to start again on the ever famous "Monday." I'm beginning to break that cycle, but it is very very hard. Your post was a subtle reminder that it can be done!…

Looks like the New Balance N4 got pretty good reviews on Amazon, but it looks like a hard plasticy chest strap. The one on the Polar FT4 is solid cloth which is very comfortable (much more than I expected). It also says the strap is not water proof, the one on the FT4 is... Even machine washable (after you remove the…

By all means, I'm no expert. I just bought a Polar FT4 last week after quite a bit of research. I found it does a little more than I actually need it to and was a little bummed I can't download my stats to the 'puter without another accessory that costs almost as much as the HRM. However, I am still in love with it and…

Yeah Haw! Those are great ones! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rachel, I'm Raychel. I don't know that I ever knew that it meant "Lamb or Ewe" so thanks! I got the "y" because I'm named after my Grandmother who passed just before I was born. She was originally a "Rachel" but decided she wanted to be different and added the "Y."

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing!

You just made my day!! I am fat, but if I'd had tools like this when I was a younger 103 lb hotty, maybe I wouldn't have gotten to this point. Making sure you eat healthy, no matter what your size is very important! I don't think I'll ever get to a point I don't have to watch, because once I do, I start giving in to…

Non Scale Victory (I only learned this a short while ago myself... I've been wondering for 6 months). Love the compliment, it's acknowledgment with just a teensy bit of envy (hence the too fast part)!

You are the Goddess of the day (at least)! My suggestion: scrambled egg whites (1/2 cup = 60 calories & 12 protein) and a piece of whole wheat 50 cal (or so) toast.

I like 'em too, but I prefer the honey kind. I usually have 2 with a 1/2 skim milk, works out to be about 170 calories, so whether it's good for you or not is relative. Depends if you have the calories available.

I don't think it's weird at all. I was raised very strictly christian. My mom still is, but i believe in more. Because of my upbringing, any religious acts always have an element of Christianity in them. I often "pray" but am actually meditating and maybe reciting a self-written spell. I sing christian christmas carols and…

I couldn't have said it better! You inspire me :-D

I would love to get to a point where I can do that. I only got myself to stick to once a day in the last few months. Its a sick obsession that really makes me spiral because the numbers fluctuate too much during the day. I have a friend who doesn't have a scale at home at all, she only weighs in once a week at the weight…

Thanks for the suggestions! Clothes are a big motivator, I have drawers full from when I first started losing weight about 2 years ago. Then I fell off the wagon and gained about half back and I really don't want to buy a bigger size. I've bought a few things second hand, but I've stuck pretty hard to not buying any new…

onions pickles tomatoes spam beets Well my list can get pretty long, which is part of my weight problem ;-( I am working on that though, I've gotten to where I can tolerate and even enjoy mushrooms sometimes and it used to be #2 on that list.

Whoo Hooo! Oregonians are the BESTEST EVER! And no, I'm not a duck fan LOL! Welcome Jez! Hope ya like it here. I've been back and forth for a bit since July, some days are just harder than others. It's a great site for calorie/exercise counting and for general support. I love the phone app!

This totally sounds like my house!

I also am addicted to them. I usually just have a couple with a small glass of skim milk. The other night I had extra calories to spare (I know right LOL) so I had two graham crackers with 1/2 Tb (each) peanut butter on it and 1/2 a banana sliced up and put on top. It was awesome... Except it really needed milk!

Wow! That was a stunning post, I don't think it could have been said better.

You are so added to my friends! Game on :-P LOL! I'm "Jr Babycakes"

Whoo Hoo! I love my Xbox Kinect!!! I love the dance games (I have Dance Central 1 & 2) and the Your Shape games (have both -- but recommend the 2012 version). Yesterday I burned 475 calories playing Your Shape for 45 minutes (this is the calorie burn I get from my heart rate monitor, not from the game). Enjoy!!! If you…
