Over- and underestimating
I see this a lot. People say they overestimate how any calories are in what they've eaten and/or underestimate how many calories they've burned "just to be safe." That doesn't make sense to me. I think if people are going to go to the trouble of tracking these numbers, they should should do it accurately. Why assume the…

I was watching the "5 Ingredient Fix" on Food Network yesterday, and the host was making Lemon Chicken Soup: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/lemon-chicken-soup-recipe/index.html The soup sounds really good, and I'll have to try it some day, but the part that intrigued me was that she roasted garlic,…

What's YOUR "secret" for staying motivated?
I’ve seen a lot of people post about wanting help staying motivated, and I think about that a lot. So here are some of the things I talk to myself about that help me stay on track.

How often do you have your body composition tested?
I'm curious to know how many people have their body compositions tested regularly as they lose weight to track how much of that loss is actually fat. I'm lucky to have someone who does that for me as often as I want, so I took advantage of that and had mine tested pretty frequently (every six weeks or so) while I was…

Toss the junk food? I disagree.
I often see "Get rid of all the junk" as a weight-loss tip. I understand having junk right under your nose is a temptation, but I think it's really important to tackle that head on rather than run from it. My dad was diagnosed with diabetes more than 20 years ago. He didn't have any choice but to drastically change his…

Beef and Black Bean Chili
I made this for dinner yesterday, and it was SO good. It's pretty mild, but it's so savory and flavorful. My son is a very picky eater, and he told me this was something he'd be excited if I told him I was making it for dinner again. Ingredients: • 1 pound 96/4 ground beef • 2 yellow onions • 2 celery stalks • 1 yellow…

My one-year MFP anniversary today
Thank you, MFP and my MFP friends for all you've done for me this last year. I debated about putting this under Success Stories, because I sure do feel like I've been successful.

Anybody else doing Slim Series (follow-up to SI6)?

A trip to Costco
Yesterday, I was at my local Costco buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal pet, Jake the Wonder Dog, and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse, I told her no, I didn't have a dog, I was…

Join me in a round of P90X beginning 4/26/10

I started a second round that I never completed because of my father becoming gravely ill and then passing away last summer. (Today would have…
