Jillian Michaels under fire
FIRST LET ME SAY - I have never done a Jillian Michels workout and have only seen a handful of episodes of The Biggest Loser. Although I have heard great things about her DVD's and was hoping to work up to it. I am posting this aritcle that I ran across on Yahoo since so many of my MFP friends seem to enjoy her Shred DVDs.…

Serving Sizes
I came across this article while trying to figure how many ounces were in the salmon I brought for lunch today and thought to share. It came from PBS and I think it is targeted for children, so as for us trying to lose weight, I would not pay any attention to the recommended number of servings suggested. It may or may not…

Hee hee ha ha....thought I would share a joke today
A SHORT “LOVE” STORY………… A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper…

I'm so GLAD I nearly lost my wedding ring!
Yep, ya'll! I was walking down the hallway at work and felt something creeping down my finger, when I looked down my wedding set was past my knuckle about to fall to the floor! I was so thrilled I stood there for a moment just moving it up and down on my finger smiling. Don't you get it? I may not have lost a dress size,…

Here we go again....
Da, da, da, dummmm.....SODIUM! I see so many posts about the dreaded sodium and have learned alot about it., and how to avoid it. I do have one question that I'm a little embarrassed to ask, it may sound silly. But hey!, we're family right? The common suggestion when it comes to sodium is to drink water to flush it out.…

I'M NOT AFRAID!!!
Last week, I didn't want to walk anywhere. Not up the stairs, not down the block, and definately not around a track! This week, I've figured it out! You all were so right! Find something that you like and you won't notice it is excercise. Music and dance has always been big for me. I love music, all kinds of music! Anyhow,…

I SHOULD JUST DRINK WATER
What a horrible day! I spent the whole day starving because I just could not find anything to eat. Yesterday I discovered that my goals were too high for sodium and cholesterol so I decreased them. Naturally, it turned every day's goals to red, but I was still sticking it out this morning. Ate a small breakfast, then came…

After my rant and "whoa me" session in the "I Should Just Drink Water" thread, I came across this site. It looks promising. I'm still checking it out, but wanted to share with all of you. http://healthydiningfinder.com/

Okay, now that I got your attention. I'm really here to vent and whine since I'm having such a hard time this week. I now know the solution to my problems and have developed a new diet - The HDTS Diet. First, I need someone to (H)andcuff my hands behind my back, then (D)uck(T)ape my mouth making a little hole with just…

"Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork"
I saw this subject quote on another member's tagline right after the nurse called and told me my LDL was up another 30 points to 197. I'm 3 weeks into MFP and changing my eating habits. I sure hope I'm doing enough to lower my cholesterol naturally. I've heard horrible things about Crestor and/or Simvastatin, which the…

Wow!!! What a weekend!
Why I felt compelled to eat everything in site I will never know! My banana pudding was about 6 inches deep and the barbeque beans with ground beef were off the chain! Couldn't and didn't count a single calorie. Have you ever tried Moscato with Peach Syrup??.....Scrumdelicious! It was all great then, but woke up this…

(Singing) Beauty lies within your eyes, break down the walls, look past your flaws, Accept whats you.... Hey All! I am feeling so good, happy, and content this morning! Maybe someone mentioning noticing a weight loss helped a lil. But on the whole, I am so motivated by the people and information I have found at MFP. The…

Alpha and " Omega"
I'm not sure how the Alpha ties into this (other than this being the beginning of a new healthy me) but my question is really about Omegas. :) Years, and years, ago I used to work for Weight Loss Forever. At the time all of our clients were given some herbal tablets for weight loss and a dual package of Omega 3 and Omega 6…

It was good, but I managed to only eat 1/2
I'm a newbie and am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can add 1/2 of a servings values to my Food Diary. Today may just be the first day I don't go over calories and want my diary to reflect it! *smile* Any suggestions? Thanks
