The one that kills me are the older dudes (say 45+) that come to the gym, sit in the sauna for awhile in their swim trunks and then go back in the locker room to redress. It makes me think they are getting all sweaty to go home and pretend to their wives that they are working out. Just seems WEIRD to me! That and the…

I agree on the Greek Yogurt. I've been eating it with Blueberries for breakfast. Chicken breast is really one of the best sources of protein for the calories per gram. I also like to do Krakus ham (low sodium) as it's high in protein as well. AND then like others said there is eggs. I like boiled ones chopped up in my tuna…

You have to go to the store AT LEAST two times a week as your 35 cubic foot refrigerator cannot hold enough veggies and meats to last the week!

I made my husband do it back in 2005 as he wouldn't go get his hair cut but every 12 weeks or so and it looked STUPID like BOZO the clown. He wasn't sure about it at first, but he loves it as he doesn't have to dry it or brush it EVER. Plus it's much cooler in the summer. When he did it the family and friends asked if he…

Have you tried Talbots? There's run pretty long. I've been buying petites even though I'm 5'6". The regular size is so long, almost past my toes on me!

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FARTS, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK. #1 - What makes farts stink? The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more…

I get the same thing from people. THEN I tell them, well that is what I weighed when we got married and they shut up. I was not skinny by any means when we got married, I was a good size except I wasn't FIT. I'd say something to this effect if you were ever that weight before. If not, then just say you're going for what…

<--- This one was sent this morning in an e-mail titled "A message from your Ewok!" The bubble says "Put more kibble here please!" This is Milo and when he makes noises he sounds like an Ewok. Our other Sheltie sounds like a Wookie (sp?). Thanks for the fun thread!

40+ year old women wearing fricKin' baby doll tops with tights/leggings only. HOW OLD ARE YOU REALLY, DON'T YOU KNOW HOW STUPID YOU LOOK!!!!!

I'm making mushrooms stuffed with spinach and artichoke dip from Tastefully Simple. I made them for m party a few weeks ago and they were gone in minutes! I'm also going to make a ham wrap either ham and cream cheese around sweet pickles and then sliced or ham and spinich cream cheese wrapped around green onions and then…

My salads just don't taste the same if I don't have my Peppadeaux peppers and goat cheese!

LOL this is a loaded question. My husband calls me Imelda. However he does like me in heels and puts up with it as long as I wear them all the time! I would say a low estimate would be 120 pairs. This includes summer sandals, flip flops, workout shoes, boots, heels, etc. In my defense I hardly ever (maybe 1 in 10 pairs)…

I'm going against the grain and saying #4 is my top pick, then #1! Have a great time!!!!!

<---This is the meatloaf made tonight to eat off for lunch and dinners when I can't make it home until later! n no certain order other than tonight: Tacos (tonight) Turkey Meatloaf Chicken with Pepperoni(turkey)-Marinara Sauce Balsamic Chicken Chili Rubbed Flank Steak Cider & Sage Pork Tenderloin Chicken with Brussel…

Have you tried your local park district? Ours has a great workout place and it's reasonable. I do have a membership, but started out just taking classes which were only $5 each and I could buy a pass for 10 and go as I pleased. I think I ended up paying around $23/month with my membership paid up front. I do believe…

How about some good old Cottage cheese with either a bit of fresh fruit or even better some nice fresh tomato and pepper. YUM! I will also suggest Greek Yogurt as it's super high in protein.

I really do appreciate the input. I would however like to point out that I have been LC since 3/31/11 and NEVER had good energy. I have gotten all my levels in check since then and had hoped by doing that I'd get more energy. For the first 4-6 months I was very good and didn't eat out at all. I can confidently say that the…

I grew up HATING THEM. My mother would make me sit at the table ALL NIGHT until I finished them. I'd wait until they vacated the kitchen and the TV was loud and the I'd little by little put them in the trash. THAT'S HOW MUCH I HATED THEM!!!!! That said, I now am loving them as an adult. I found this recipe in my Cooking…

I say don't touch that one with a 10 foot pole. I don't speak to any of my exes nor does my husband. It's a respect thing.

I'd add some pork, preferable source from outside the US. Mmmm mmmm mmmm!

See your problem is you got cats. Dogs will want to play/walk/whatever ALL THE TIME. I cannot RESIST that cute little face (the one in my profile pic) when he wants to go for a run. He's my motivation to keep on keeping on!

I think other than yourself the only person you need to listen to is your Dr. My husband gets the same comments (he's lost 102 lbs) and the comeback is "I'm healthy and the Dr. is happy." What can they say to that?! From the data you present I would say you look healthy and to "IGNORE THE HATERS!" Good for you BTW!

DH likes Jack's Links Beef Jerky<--for the lady asking for brands (and it's one of the cheaper one's we can find too w/lots of protein) Low sodium ham wrapped around a sweet or dill pickle Celery w/peanut butter (or LC cheese wedges)

Anyone else have any input?

Yes, it's up to date. And how say you are my breakfasts unbalanced?

I should have said that this week is a bad one to look at as I haven't had any leftovers to bring for lunch (which I usually do). Last week and before is better to look at. Not sure what you're looking at other maybe the weekend where I was lax about logging and was under 1200. BELIEVE ME, I do eat A LOT and normally it's…

They are pretty good, but watch out for the Maltitol. It can cause increased issues with your GI tract! See the articles below: http://www.livestrong.com/article/250589-negative-side-effects-of-maltitol/ http://www.medicinenet.com/artificial_sweeteners/page4.htm

Sent you a FR. I keep it open to friends!

My new favorite inspired by another user on here is Chobani with berries (blue or black) with lemon extract and Truvia. SUPER yummy!

Exercise your *kitten* off beforehand and burn 1000 calories or more so you don't have to feel like not eating. This is what I do when I am invited somewhere where I know I can't totally control the calories. I will be doing this on Valentines Day, my Birthday, our Anniversary, etc. Works well. Just make good choices if…
