http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/black-bean-salad-recipe/index.html We like to eat it with tortilla chips as a salsa. I don't use the sherry vinegar though since they don't sell it where I live.

I have a Taylor scale that does increments of .2 and measures body fat. You can store 3-4 people's info so you don't have to input your gender, age and height in every time you want to check your body fat. Of course if you're like me, you're so obese that the scale can't even register your body fat because you go beyond…

2.52 walking 6.05 cycling Total for the first week (according to my pedometer which includes my walk to and from school and not just my exercise miles specifically) = 20.19 miles Perhaps I need to readjust my monthly goals...or else just include strictly exercise and not walking that I have to do everyday.

They're typically on the walls near the registers or on the wall on your way to the bathroom. I haven't been to a McDonald's (or any other fast food restaurant) in the past 10 years that didn't have them posted somewhere.

Found this article that makes it seem like the higher number of my HRM would be more accurate than MFP numbers and others as well: http://www.unm.edu/~lkravitz/Article%20folder/caloricexp.html

1.33 miles on the treadmill today.

Well first and foremost, congratulations of making a decision to finally once and for all get to a healthier version of you. I too finally got fed up at the beginning of this year and decided that in order to be a better me I had to work at it. If you're like me and you weren't incredibly physically active before deciding…

2.11 miles in my spin class tonight. Although I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is since it's a spin class and therefore there's no distance tracker on the bike but that's what the Nike+ pedometer function of my iPod nano told me I did so that's what I'm sticking with.

Oh and I'm apparently off to a slow start thanks to my knees which are killing me. I did 2.75 miles on Friday the 2nd.

Well first you need to click on Tools and make one. Then click back on Community followed by Settings where it says "Home, Recent Posts, My Topics, Settings and Search" and should be the only option there to make it appear on your forums posts.

I tend to have a cheat meal as opposed to a cheat day because even though I know I'm eating something that isn't great for me I still want to try and stay at or under my calories for the day. And even then, I think sometimes it will be more of just a cheat place instead of a meal. Like we'll have Burger King but I'll get…

Just so I can clarify real quick, is this total miles done (to include just day to day walking) or is it specifically exercise miles (bike, treadmill, elliptical, etc)?

Well I have no idea how many I walk/jog on a regular monthly basis so for right now I'm going to strive for 50.

Well assuming my 17 year old self would have listened to the current me, I would've told myself to shape up sooner and get my weight and lifestyle under control NOW and not let me get as big as I am now. I'm sure that my life would've been different than it is now because I probably would have had more self confidence if I…

I wouldn't mind being the size I was in high school, which was a 12. I'm sure if I actually worked ridiculously hard (like beyond what I'm already doing) that I could get to a single digit number. I don't ever remember being a single digit though so I don't know what that would be/look like for me. But I started this year…

It is quite literally and physically a pain in your *kitten*. I just did day 2 against my butt muscles complaints.

Nothing...it's only 90 calories. But then again, I get to eat up to 1490 calories a day, so if I missed 90 for the day it wouldn't be a big deal because I'm still above 1200.

If I only had 20 more pounds to lose then I would invest in a belt. But since I'm trying to lose 150 pounds, I'm saving $5 for every pound I lose and then every time I hit 50 pounds I'll go shopping for some new clothes.

I just started 30 DS yesterday and I'm currently trying to convince myself that I NEED to do it today because my *kitten* is killing me. Like it's on total strike from anything other than just sitting around and not moving. However, I know that doing that is not going to help me get into a better looking shape. I'm hoping…

Steel cut oatmeal (150-170 calories depending on the brand), 1 oz blueberries (14 calories) and sometimes 1 cup of milk (80 calories). So anywhere from 244-264 calories.

I tend to drink a protein shake (1 or 2 scoops depending on how intense my workout was) after my workouts, regardless of what time of the day it was.

I currently do because I live in South Korea and it's custom in Asian households (even though I live on an AF base and pretty much everyone here is American). Back in the States though whenever I would go to someone's house it really just depended on if someone asked me to take them off or if I just felt like it. Most…

Howdy! I'm a SAHM of two kids. My daughter is 5 and my son just turned 1 last month. I've gotten really serious about losing weight since the beginning of the year and have already shed 24 pounds. I've still got a large chunk of pounds to go and am all for getting more friendly motivation to help with it.

I'm in as well. I just lost 10.6 pounds doing the "lose 10 pounds in February" challenge. I'm still doing the "lose 15 pounds in 8 weeks" challenge with 4 weeks left. So I'm all for adding in another challenge for the next 3 months. I actually just started Jillian's 30 Day Shred today since it's the first of the month and…

American in South Korea here. My husband is AD Army. We've been here for 2 years 9 months and have just a few more months until we're HOME FREE! Although I do have to admit that I've loved our time here and am grateful to have had the opportunity to live over here in a country that I otherwise would have never visited.

I have an elliptical at home as well and it works wonders for me in terms of my knees since I essentially weigh twice what I should, so therefore having less shock to my knees is a good thing. However, since my friend and I have started going to the gym it's just been sitting at my house collecting dust and I've been using…

My iPod nano is my pedometer and I typically only use it when I exercise (and that's what I input into MFP for calories burned). However, I do use it to track my steps to and from school to drop off my daughter because it's a half mile round trip, so twice a day gets me an extra mile. But I don't count that since I'm…

Well the lighting in the before and afters is kinda different but I honestly feel (based on what I'm seeing) that your stomach looked better in the before picture but that your back definitely looks better in the after picture. There's significantly less back fat.
