GREAT read on plateau-ing!
If you're stuck at a plateau, or just want to be well versed on the topic I HIGHLY suggest the below read. The link to the original text is at the bottom. It made it SO easy to understand how we plateau and what to do to break it -- in terms we can actually understand! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…

Pasta with Sauteed Shrimp & Veggies
I based this recipe off of this (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/08/spaghetti-with-sauteed-chicken-and.html) from SkinnyTaste. However, I changed it up by using less pasta and adding more veggies. This stuff TASTES just absolutely amazing! I was not expecting to love it as much as I did! So without further ado......…

Just reached my 15 day mark & need friends!
Hi all. I just reached my "khollyk has logged in for 15 days" and got no encouragement from any of my friends! Sad face! :( I have a couple of good ones, but had to delete a bunch because they hadn't logged on in so long. I'd love to be friends with and support from anyone on their weight loss journey, but I'm especially…

Chick-Fil-A Lemon Pie
If there are any fans of Chick-Fil-A's lemon pie in here, you HAVE to try Jello's Temptations - Lemon Meringue Pie. A cup is only 80 calories and it tastes exactly the same (minus the Nilla Wafers)! It's awesome! You can find them in the Jello/Pudding section. The Strawberry Cheesecake one is good too, but it's 130…

Britney Spears Syndrome
Check out this article about 'Britney Spears Syndrome'....basically about her physique, and how she started her career with a tiny little waist, and then at the peak of her popularity her abs had crazy definition, but she was actually THICKER than before, probably not on purpose. The whole article is good and informative,…

Lower calorie burn after 4 lb loss?
So I've been on this healthier lifestyle for about a month and a half. My ticker says I've lost 12 pounds, but that's since beginning MFP about 2 years ago...I've gone off it a few times. But this time around I've only lost 4 pounds (kinda at a stand-still right now, but that's another story...). Anyhow, a month ago when I…

30DS vs. Chocolate Donut
I just got done working my butt off for 27 minutes doing the 30DS. I burned 212 calories. Earlier, I couldn't resist the temptation of a chocolate frosted donut. I ate it in about 2.7 minutes. It cost me 270 calories. SO NOT worth it! Ugh! lol.

Almost Frozen Chocolate Pudding
I've been eating the Ben & Jerry's FroYo recently....but it's SO good that I end up going through about a pint every 2 days, so I haven't let myself buy any the past few days. But I was really missing it, so tonight I threw a Fat Free Jello Chocolate Pudding in the freezer for about 45 minutes. When I took it out, it had…

Baked Ziti :)
Never thought I'd be able to enjoy one of my favorite comfort foods, Baked Ziti, while on MFP unless it was a cheat day, but WRONG! I used the recipe off of skinnytaste.com (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/09/low-fat-baked-ziti-with-spinach.html) and adapted a little. Mine came out to be 321 calories for 1/8 of the 9x13…

Upped my calorie goal to get more loss
My goal was set at 1200 (as per MFP default for the settings I entered). I've been on here for going on 30 days (tomorrow, I believe) and I've only lost a pound. I know below it says 5, but that's still set from the last time I was doing MFP about 6 months ago. So, currently 30 days of healthy eating and exercising and all…

What kind of scale...
do you use? I have a cheap-o no name one I picked up at Walgreens on sale sometime last year, and I just don't feel that it's very accurate. I'm wanting to get a nice one, but since those type are kind of expensive, I was hoping to get opinions on what people like before putting down the money! Thanks!

Burning too many calories to eat back?

So far with my breakfast and lunch, I've consumed 770 calories. My total calorie intake per day is set at 1200, so now after working out at 5:30 p.m., I'm expected to consume 1135…

? about P90X nutrition
I have the P90X DVDs (...or I will, when the moving truck gets here with all my stuff next week). I've had them for about a year, but have so far only done the abs one a few times, but am considering doing the whole program soon...and I'm wondering if you previous P90X graduates went by the nutrition guide that came with…

I'm new...kind of
I was on here doing really well back in October & November...then my boyfriend got back from deployment and I somehow got off track. I weighed myself a few days ago and I'm at 146...up from 139 at my last MFP weigh in :( It sucks...but I'm back and hopefully better than ever! :)

Changed my goals...
I started on MFP before the boyfriend got home from deployment, and it was EASY! I was working out regularly, eating well and losing fast! Loved it! And then he came home, and wants me to cook him homecooked meals all the time, and keeps junk around, and it's just much more difficult. I'm tired of going over everyday (even…

Beware: Tropical Smoothie Cafe!
I had a meeting run late today so I was going to run out and grab some lunch instead of going home. Well, I usually get a Sesame Chicken Wrap. I kinda figured the calories would be high.....but was NOT 803 high! I really did kind of want a wrap, but all of the wraps were 550+ calories! Just wanted to give everyone a heads…

Copied this from FitPerez.com.... The organic supermarket is recalling seven types of cheddar cheese amid fears they contain listeria or E.coli after evidence of contamination at its U.S. supplier was found. Don’t get too alarmed as nobody has reported getting sick after eating the cheese, but the company is recommending…

Lost 5lbs but looking flabbier...?
I've been on MFP for almost 3 weeks now and have lost 5lbs. And last week I was noticing my pants felt looser and my stomach was looking thinner (unfortunately my arms aren't slimming yet....but that's another story). Anyways, this week I've felt as if my stomach is looking so much bigger and much more flabby than before.…

Attention: New Runners!
I've been doing c25k for a few weeks now and finally made it down to the local running store.

The guy had me take off my shoes and he checked the bottoms to see if my weight…

Heart Rate Monitors
I've read about people logging their p90x workouts with a heart rate monitor....anyone have any suggestions on a good one? Also, if you know of a good pedometer brand, I'd be interested in that too. I bought a pedometer once that I thought would be pretty good, and it was WAY off, so I'm sketchy about buying something like…
