Meal Replacement Bars
Some of them seem like expensive candy bars with not much nutritional value........I'm curious as to what folks think about these....If you eat them, what is your favorite brand/flavor? Do you use them as supplements, or actually as meals? What do you look for when choosing one? Other thoughts? Thanks for sharing.

Um, was I hit on?
I am way out of practice...I haven't drawn a lot of male attention in quite some time-like 20 years ago or so, I used to get my fair share, but hey being young and thin goes a long way. Anyway, that was a looong time ago....and before I put on all my extra weight..... this is the recent situation..... I was at the bank…

what's your best tip
For making healthy options convenient? The excuse I often hear and use is that eating healthier takes too long/is not convenient. I just spent some time cutting up produce, mostly veggies and packing it into grab-able portions. I label each baggie with how many calories are there...which also helps with my logging of…

Question for those w/ tattoos......

Mixed emotions
This is an NSV (non scale victory) that I truly have mixed emotions about..... all of my bathing suits are too big. I tried them on yesterday, and I am able to wear them, however, I wouldn't wear them out/in public for fear of them falling off or the "girls" showing off too much. I love this and I hate this, because I…

Favorite way to add flavor and variety?
Lately, I've been spicing everything up...a of few my favorites, for salads and sandwiches are: Trader Joe's Papaya Mango Fire Roasted Salsa. DELISH at only 15 cals per 2 TBSP it's a flavorful calorie bargain. Love to throw it in my salad....sometimes, I don't even add dressing. Merzetta's Roasted Red peppers-these are…

NSV of sorts...
so today at work staff meeting first thing. this means donuts, almost always. ugh. so I motivated myself to get up and work out before going to work. a 515 am spin class is hard core. however, when I looked at the donuts, there wasn't one that I wanted bad enough....like they were okay, but not my faves, definitely not…
-
stress ?
what is your best method for dealing with stress? What do you do to "unwind" and/or blow off steam? I feel like I am living in a pressure cooker, and my usual stuff isn't working/helping any more. For sure, working out is saving my life-it's the ultimate stress release....but it doesn't seem to be enough, right now.

Opinions
I've been stuck for a bit-losing and gaining the same 2 pounds over and over. It's time to change some thing. I am considering 2 things, at the moment: changing my activity level from lightly active to sedentary OR changing (lowering) my weight loss goal from 1 lb to .5 lb/week What are your thoughts? So far, it doesn't…

Opinions, please heart rate monitors
For those of you that have one, which one do you have? About how much did it cost? What do you love about it? What do you hate/dislike about it? Anything you wish you had considered but didn't, before you purchased yours? Do different hrm work better for different types of activities?

DANGER! DANGER!
I'm bored. When I'm bored, I feel "hungry" :explode: This has happened the past two evenings, after dinner. Before bed. Yesterday, I made decent choices...my stomach did actually growl after I attempted to distract myself for a good bit of the evening...so I ate some veggies. No harm, no foul. Here's hoping I can do the…

How's this for an NSV?
:happy: Another (slightly odd) Non Scale Victory for me this morning: I met with a friend who I haven't seen in about a month. She says "You look great." Pause. "gee, I wish I had your hips." ha ha ha.:laugh: I laughed and said thank you. :blushing: Motivation to keep at it!

another NSV (non scale victory)
I have the Wii Fit. Don't use it regularly. Logged in yesterday for a bit, and it told me it'd been 100 days since I last used it. :frown: But, as I worked through some of the yoga activities, my scores were SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the ones already recorded from previous uses, over 3 months ago. I even got called a "Yoga…

looking for friends
if you are serious about your weight loss and are willing to be supportive and encouraging let's be friends. I need the motivation, inspiration and support. I need to share the struggles and hear from others who've been there..... I've lost about 30 (a few keep finding me, then losing again!) and have more to go. Thanks.

Vacation tips/suggestions...
Hi all, I've been at this for a few months...and I've been "stuck" for a bit. I did seem to break through a plateau recently. Now, I'm going to be on vacation. I'm not wanting to totally cut loose and relax, due to just breaking the plateau, but I do want to relax and have fun too. What have you done when you are out of…
