Got about 50 pounds to lose...
I've been on here for a long time, and I feel like I've written an intro a lot after falling off the wagon.... Basically...I got fat. And then I was like...this sucks, something is wrong with me. Blood tests later, I found that the issues I have are pretty much because I've gotten fat. So...I'm baking my last batch of…

International Music
Being an American, I'm pretty much subjected to what's on the radio. Well, I had a German coworker a few years back and he introduced me to a whole new world. :laugh: I can't understand a lick of it, but I love Oomph!, Rammstein, and Eisbrecher. I current coworker is Mexican and has been giving me clips of spanish music…

Gimme some angry chick music
My husband has pissed me off...and we haven't spoke for...oh...3 days. I'm pulling a 13-hour shift at the office and I need some good jamming music. I'm bored with Pink...although "So What" is my theme song right now... :drinker:

Kind of an NSV I guess.
My wedding ring doesn't really fit anymore! It won't slide off past my knuckle (thank god), but it spins and is so loose, the diamond won't stay on top. :laugh: Kind of a bummer...but it's alright!

Question about chinese takeout...
So I shy away from the big name chinese places (Panda Express, etc) and go to these little hole-in-the-wall mom and pop chinese joints. There's such a huge gap in nutritional info from the chain restaurants to the small places, how do you know what's right? The place I go to doesn't have nutritional info available... I…

Tuna on my salad...not so much.
So I read on here about some folks adding tuna on top of their salad for extra protein. I did that today with a Starkist packet. Blech. :laugh: Totally ruins the texture of my salad. No thank you!

Help with Salmon
I bought salmon for the first time in my life. I got Wild Copper River Sockeye Salmon (it was on sale). Do I "have" to marinade it overnight? I was planning on some salt/pepper and lemon, broiled in the oven. I read alot of things that said you should marinade it overnight due to the wild fishy taste. Is it that bad?

Noise canceling headphones - no go for me.
I feel like a complete weirdo but I bought my first set of noise canceling headphones and I have to return them. I can hear myself breathe, chew, swallow, EVERYTHING! I feel like I'm in solitary confinement or something when I have them on with no music playing (in between songs). It's like I can't breathe because I'm…

Help calculating london broil?
I'm making a top round london broil tonight and I'm having trouble getting a decent calorie count. When I select it in the database (going to broil it), the serving size just says "1 piece" and it varies between 600-700+ calories. That can't be right...

To eat the reuben, or not to eat the reuben.
That is the question. :drinker:

Pecans? High Calorie?
I thought nuts were healthy. :laugh: 1 cup of chopped pecans is like 753 calories +/-. WHY?!?!?! :noway: I just bought a thingymajig of pecans thinking..."I love pecans! Nuts are healthy!"

Back Again...
Blah. I've been on for god knows how long... but then I got pregnant, then I got pregnant again, then my husband deployed 3 times in between all of that... And the weight just added up. I got down to 162 before he came back last August, now I'm up to 182 as of this morning. He's out of the service...we're adjusting to…

Felt like I was going to pass out yesterday...
Can anyone take a look at my diary and see if I'm missing something? I've been eating within the calorie limits for 2 weeks, and feeling fine. Not hungry at all with how I space my meals. Yesterday, I came home from work and felt like I was going to pass out. I felt warm, tunnel vision, cloudy hearing, jittery... I had a…

Looking bad before you look better...?
So it's been 2 weeks since I started hardcore calorie-counting and working out. I've lost a half inch around my hips and waist, but I'm noticing some differences that I'm not really liking... I had 3 kids (1 set of twins) so my stomach is a war zone of horrid stretchmarks. I noticed the areas where I have severe…

Peanut Butter fat...
Give me the lowdown on peanut butter. Are the fats in peanut butter good for you? School me. :laugh:

Quick foods low in sodium?
I'm always on the go (three kids and I work full-time)...and that leads to canned soups often. I've gone over on sodium everyday this week (my diary is open). What are some good lunch foods low in sodium that I can just pick up and go?

Skippy Peanut Butter with Honey

Twins = Tummy Flap. Ab exercises?
Bahaha. Yes, you read that right. I had twins and now my stomach looks like a buckled road. I've been doing reverse crunches and bicycle crunches... Is there anything else I should do? In addition, I'm doing the 30day shred. I'm pretty positive it won't go 100% away, but I'd like to minimize the...flap. :grumble:

Eating breakfast makes me more hungry too soon...
So I was never a big breakfast eater, basically only started because my husband would eat it... I noticed that when I DON'T eat breakfast, I'm tied over from hunger pains until about 11am. When I DO eat breakfast (6am), I'm STARVING by 9am. Doesn't matter if it's eggs, special k, etc. I've already downed 2 glasses of water…

Pregnant calorie intake?
So I just found out I'm expecting my surprise #2. I still want to keep my weight down as much as possible but don't know the calorie intake I should be following. I'm only 5 weeks but I'm already more hungry than normal. I don't see a doc for a while yet...

New Diet - Moodswings
So since I started this (a week ago), I'll be damned if my lack of m&ms and candybars and snacks don't give me the worst crabbyness on the planet. How do you curb it? What else can I eat to get a little bit of a sugar fix? I'm having enough trouble meeting my calorie goals (although I am! and I 'm losing pounds with it!),…

Breakfast Ideas?
So, I'm a carb-eater. I like bagels, toast, poptarts... Since joining 3 days ago, I 've been motivated. Today, I had plain honey-wheat toast and a fried egg on top. It was ok, but I can't do that everyday (bored with food easily and not much time). I have to juggle 2 dogs, get a baby ready for daycare, and head to work in…

Hello
Hello. Well, I'm 5'-0" and 180lbs. Looking to drop about 40, even 30, even 20 would be nice. I had a baby roughly a year ago but between juggling that, a full-time job, and a household, it's tough to squeeze in exercise and eating right. So far, I'm pretty impressed with the calorie intake guidelines the site has given me.…
