~ACCOUNTABILITY~
DAY ONE I have decided to start a thread on here to help keep myself accountable....since its my BIGGEST problem! :angry: Please feel free to also share and join! I have found that I get so much added support and inspiration from you all :heart: Today I am getting back to my spinning class. I haven't spun in MONTHS and I…

First time in IDK how long!
Today I stayed right in the range of what MFP recommends I consume daily! And I entered EVERYTHING I ate! YAY FOR ME! :bigsmile: It's been a while since I have achieved this so I though it was post-worthy.

WII FIT
Ok so my husband braved the crowds on Black Friday to go out and get me my Wii Fit that I've been wanting. I briefly used it last nite, due to it not being my work out day, so before I really get into it I'd like to know what you all think about it (this obviously is directed only to others who have/have used one). Any…

WHITEN YOUR TEETH!
Have you seen those commercials for DentalWorks (formerly Sears Dental) advertising teeth whitening for life? I was looking for a new dentist, and am all about freebies, so I asked about it when I went. They make these trays to fit your teeth (kinda like a retainer) that you put this whitening gel in and then you wear the…

ugh....
Yet again I have lost the accountability MFP offers :explode: And I have no one to blame but myself! :grumble: The good news is III'''MMMMM BBBBAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!! :drinker: Life got the best of me and I lost sight of what was, and still is, very important to me. It's time to refocus and I just wanted to post to get some…

Want a DQ Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard?
I bet you won't after reading this! I've been drooling over these commercials all summer and was gonna go get one today (even though I knew I shouldn't) so decided to research the nutritional info. Yea, I'll be sticking with my nonfat yogurt :wink: Dairy Queen Tagalong Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard - Small Nutrition Facts…

Morning laugh....
I wanted to run yesterday but had NO motivation and instead laid on the couch all evening....:explode: I said, "I'm getting up in the morning and running" (since I often have more energy before work rather than after). So I got up at 5:15 and hit the pavement - literally. I don't exactly live in the best neighborhood and…

This is my confession....
....hahaha now I have that Usher song in my head :laugh: Anyways, despite the fact that I am still eating the way I should (most of the time:ohwell: ) I haven't been coming on this site lately and logging everything. I checked my e-mail this morning and myfitness pal had sent me a message saying that I haven't logged in in…

This was GRRRREEAATTT - like Tony the Tiger!
So, for the latter half of July I had given myself numerous excuses to not work out as much as I should. Needless to say I probably worked out like twice in three weeks :grumble: Last week I had enough and said "NO MORE" so I went to my spinning class. Since that is when I normally weigh myself (but hadn't in 3 weeks) I…

WRONG INFO ON FOODS!!!!!!
Good morning all! :smile: I eat oatmeal everyday and recently bought a new kind - Quaker Weight Control. This morning I went to add it to my diary and found it in the library and added it to my meal. After I did so I realized it showed a wrong amount for the grams of sugar and was listed as having 4g but the package says…

WRONG INFO ON FOODS!!!!!!
sorry....double post - check the other one
-
thier words.....
So I went to a cookout @ my mom's yesterday and saw a few family members that I haven't seen in quite a few months. It felt SSSSOOOOOO good to be asked, "How much weight have you lost?" That showed me that my progress is evident and isn't unseen! :bigsmile: This morning I also reached another milestone in my COUCH TO 5K…

interesting e-mail i received....
EATING FRUIT We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! - FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If…

WOW- I did it!!!!!!
About a month ago I took my dog for a run and seriously almost died (or atleast I looked like I was going to die). My body wasn't able to handle that intense work out and what really was my breaking point was when my dog looked back at my lagging butt with a face that said "I thought you said we were going for a run"…
-
this is SSSSOOOOOO awesome!!!!!
Last week I lost my momentum big time and couldn't muster up energy to exercise because I spent a lot of time working on removing wall paper in my house. I told myself that this week I would dive back in head first. Monday was a no-go. :angry: Yesterday I went to my Tuesday spinning class, which is also the day I weigh in.…

getting back on that gosh darn horse
This week I haven't exercised not once :grumble: I walk atleast a half mile each day in my commute to work and have been doing heavy house projects (mainly scraping wall paper), so its not like I'm posted up in front of the couch or anything. But this week I've just been in a slump I guess. I am however still staying…

Potatoes.....
To save me from researching on my own I'm coming to you experts for the answer to my question. (There is ALWAYS someone out there in MFP land who can answer my questions) I know potatoes aren't exactly the BEST thing to eat, but I like them on occasion in different things. So....what are the best ones to eat? Red? Yukon…
-
dog = inspiration
After a while of telling myself that I was going to work myself up to taking my dogs for runs to exercise both them and myself I finally did it today. I was proud of myself for getting out there - but then when I realized how my dog was slowly trotting beside me while I was practically giving it my all I thought to myself…

DON'T FORGET!!!!!!
OK so the weekend is once again here! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and remembers that even though we're off of work we're not off from living a healthy lifestyle. :happy: I fell WAY off the wagon last weekend and regretted it all week. So this is a friendly reminder to not un-do all the hard work you have done…
-
????
I think this is a valid question and haven't seen an answer anywhere to it: Ok so when you exercise the calories you burn are added into your caloric intake for the day for you to eat, and I understand why it is like this. My question though is why do the other areas being tracked stay the same. For instance - fat,…

Pittsburgh in the house???
So I was reading the "Ohio Buddies" post and couldn't resist raggin on the Browns being the Pittsburgher that I am. So I'm wondering.....any other STILLER fans??? :glasses: I'm not much on football but I know that Steeler Nation is something all of us western Pennsylvanians are proud of. Any one else live in western PA -…

eye opener!
I posted earlier about how this weekend has been very hard for me when it comes to food. After going to my MIL's for dinner I entered all I ate and was over on almost ever category - and by A LOT! :angry: When I hit "complete today's entry" it said if I continued with days like today in 5 weeks I will have gained back 15…

bad weekend!
This has been my first downfall in the past 5 weeks with MFP. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen sooner knowing me! Yesterday I went to a picnic and did pretty good with my portions compared to how I used to be. But late last night I was overcome with hunger, pigged out and ended up going over on my calories by 1,000.…

Its booty time ......
The only thing I could accept during my weight gain journey was my booty getting bigger (and of course the hubby had no complaints either) :laugh: Now that I'm losing weight I don't want my booty to be as flat as it was before (and neither does the hubby). Any tips/advice on remaining curvacious while loosing wieght - if…
-
think of it as GOING GREEN...
Something just came to me and I cracked myself up so I thought I'd share to lighten the mood on this Tuesday morning: When we eat less of the garbage we used to eat, there is less waste we create from all of those packages we throw away...SSSOOOOO - by eating more healthier options and less of the other stuff we're…

no motivation today...
BUT....its not what you think! I have absolutely NO motivation to do my work today, and this site isn't helping! :yawn:

arms...
Shortly before I started with MFP I began to notice how big my arms had gotten and became very self conscious about them. Since I've dropped a bit of weight they have gone done, they are by no means the size I want them to be, but their tolerable in the meantime. I know I need to start working on them more…
-
I need direction....
I want to puchase a HRM that will show me my calories burned so I can be more accurate with my accounting of what I'm doing. I need advice: difference between the watch type vs. chest strap and how do each one work (obviously I know the watch type goes on your wrist but what about the chest strap?) Is one better than the…
-
Is this normal????
This is my third week with MFP with great results. I know that they are ONLY because I have been very strict with keeping within my recommended caloric intake and also exercising. I have been doing spinning twice a week - I feel great afterwards but it is definitely a hard work out (the whole reason as to why I do it). And…
