Any ideas for exercise to do at work?
I am a hairstylist....looking for some exercises that would not be EXTREMELY obvious to do at work. I hear ever little bit helps. So instead of sitting on my duff when slow, I would like to find something to do besides walk!

100+ to lose and looking for more pals
Subject line says it all! I was on here last year Sept 13 to Dec 13 and lost 40 lbs. On here again to make the lifetime commitment to see this change happen permanently!

Back again...aiming for success of last time
I know I MUST do this myself. I just wish I had some sincere inner motivation, encouragement, and confidence to do this!!! I was on here last year about this time for 3 months and lost 40 lbs. This time I wanna COMPLETE the journey, not just start it!!! My goal is to truly get this kicked. I need to learn to change things…

Small goal reached
I have been trying to notice the weight loss so far. I know at times we do not see it because we see ourself throughout the entire transformation. I pulled a pic from 2002 when I knew I was thinner than what I started this journey, then one in July which was my heaviest and then the one from today. Finally I can see the…

Wish there was a way to know nutritional value
Without having to type in each ingredient one by one....... (LOL...only because most are more fattening than I want them to be when I get done) But this sounds good! PORK LOIN ROAST 1 (2 1/2 lb) lean boned pork loin roast 3 TBSP Dijon mustard 1 TBSP low fat butter milk 2 c fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs 2 TBSP cracked…

My diary today
I preplan my diary when I can, realizing it could change throughout the day on days I work especially. But the question is, just how much is it ok to go over on protein???? I don't remember what med web site I was on that said too much is not good. That balanced diet is key.

any others need to or have lost 100+ lbs????
It has only been three weeks. I THINK I am doing ok. Just wondering if others have times they seem like the end of the tunnel is SOOOO far away and wonder if/when time will be to celebrate a big success? Maybe I am just too hard on myself or still affected by all the negativity from the past.

web has multiple answers
Does anyone know how to best estimate how far 6638 steps might be??? It took an hour and 15 min because we were trick or treating. Thanks bunches. I just don't want to estimate too high. Most common web answer was 2000 steps to a mile.

what to do in this situation???
My food dairy has what I have eaten today. I made the entire serving of steel cut oats but measured out the amount I did not eat. I just was not hungry for any more. Lunch...I ate half and just was not in the mood for mushroom today I guess so only ate half of my lunch. Snacked with the kids after school...not healthiest…

Cooking different foods....
I have a butternut squash, Delicata Squash, and an acorn squash. I also have asparagus which I have not had done in a way I like it yet. It is usually too soggy. And steel cut oats. (I have never had the any of the squash or steel cut oats before. Just trying to add variety and try new things) Does anyone have any good…

Any suggestions????
I am at the point of "to heck with this!!!" One of my friends on here already looked at my food diary and suggested water increase. (Yesterday should be 90 oz but don't think I logged any...forget to when I log from phone). Anyway, I just can't see how at 296 lbs I could possibly gain 4 lbs on a 1200 calorie diet as…

Wonton wrap users....
Have any of you tried making breakfast cups out of them? Eggs, veggies, meat, cheese in them? Just wondering how they would be for a change of pace. I have seen they can be used for about anything. (lasagna cups, taco cups, bake then fill with tuna, chicken, ham,etc salad)
-
Not sure the amounts....
All of you pros on here might know how to do this and in what amounts. A customer was telling another stylist how to make oatmeal taste like no bake cookies. YUM...no bake cookies. She said he just said oatmeal, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, extra virgin olive oil and a little milk to thin. Stupid me did not ask…

New look at the long term goal!!!
On the scale today it says I am down 15 lbs since I start MFP on September 13. As per my corny screen name, my goal is to lose around half of my starting weight which would be 153. So rounding to even numbers that would be 15. Break those down into ten smaller goals it would make them 15 lb goals instead of 150 lb goal.…

Would it be any better if
IF I would do my excercising all at one time. I have found on my days off I will make 20 min or so here or there for exercise? Today I did 20 this morning, 25 this afternoon, and I could possibly still find time to get 20 in later this evening. It is much easier than finding an hour to block out and at my weight it seems I…

not sure if in right forum
Anyway, I did not write down my measurements, but I put them on here. Is there a way to see the previous measurements to compare? I can see the weight progress but not measurements? I am very computer illiterate so this is probably right in front of my eyes and I just don't see it.

How do you pick what to list things under?
Any clues on what to list this video under? I am not that worried about exact numbers so I am not investing in a heart rate monitor. I never list all my activity anyway, I just just like to list main things I do. Like yesterday I did a few crunches and a few jumping jacks but did not add them I only put the wii Just dance.…

Resetting goals
I started out on MFP with food diary goal of 1700. In three weeks I have lost (12 lbs by my scales and 9.5 by dr scales). I saw the dr for the first time since starting with MFP just to make sure everything was still normal. Today BP was a little higher than my norm. (My norm 119/79 and today 135/79 but that was after 5…

My food diary is open...
If anyone is looking for a challenge, I could use some help! I am sure from the three weeks on MFP my diary shows eating habits of sorts. MFP had me at 1700 calories and when I hurt my foot took me to 1500. At the doctor today she took me to 1200!!!!! I felt like I was doing pretty good learning to balance fats, carbs,…

Not been at this long enough....
I am in search of a recipe large enough to feed 8 to 10. It needs to be an easy to transport, finger food type food. It is for a carry-in at work. We usually have the typical veggie tray, cheese tray, chips and desserts. I need something I won't have to feel guilty munching on during an 8 hour shift. Thanks in advance for…

1200 calorie minimum
Right now, after I eat dinner (the other half of Subway sandwich), I will have a total of 990 calories for the day. At the moment, I really just do not feel hungry. I forced things yesterday because I didn't feel like eating. (Not sure why the loss of appetite but not complaining just yet unless it isn't something…

IF I entered this right, this came up to less than 240 calories per serving. (with a 4 oz piece of chicken) I am newer here so I might not have done something right. I just thought it sounded good to try and wanted a count first. SESAME CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA 1/2 c sesame seeds 2 Tablespoons peeled minced…

How many of you consulted your DR first?
I have asked my dr for years to give me diet pills, let me have surgery, etc. I have been to Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, this diet, that diet, etc. The answer I always got from my dr was that my numbers were to good to warrant surgery and diet pills have bigger risks than what I had at the time. Only suggest was a…

Right or wrong here??? Or maybe indifferent???
I hurt my ankle at work today. (No, not looking for sympathy just an answer on the calorie thing.) My daily calories is 1700 calories for two pound weight loss a week. Since I am pretty much immobile for the time being do I cut that down to the minimum 1200 and limit carbs??? I just don't wanna gain weight this week!!!…

Stupid question
I was logging my lunch today. Two Boca Burgers flame grilled, green pepper, medium onion, worchestershire sauce and cayenne pepper. Now with that said, I sprayed a little olive oil cooking spray on my grill pan (it says 0 calories on the can), cooked the veggies with the worchestershire and cayenne and when they were about…
