Feedback needed for dinner plan
I've come up with a dinner plan for the next week and a half. Almost everything in my meals are going to be home made, with limited store bought items. My goal is to eat less packaged food and have the meals be healthier. The dinners double for left over lunches the next day. When I cook at home I try not to use butter or…

Diet Pop Cake
This may be an old one, but someone at work just told me about this and we tried it and it's just as good as real cake! 1 box cake mix (any kind you like) 1 can diet pop (we found that dark pops like diet coke, diet dr. pepper, etc...go better with chocolate cake and clear/light pops like sprite zero, diet ginger ale,…

How do you burn 500, 600, 1,000+ cal at the gym?
I've been reading some of your posts about buring 500, 800, 1,000 or more calories at the gym and meanwhile I want to fall over after buring only 250 cals. How do you burn so much while working out? Thanks!

Sweet Treats
What's your favorite, low calorie, sweet treat? I'm trying to cut out as much sugar as I can, but this lack of sugar is starting to take over my brain. What do you reach for when you need a sweet treat?

Lifting, cardio, both?
I've been on maintenance mode for the past 7 months or so. However, within the past few days I just realized that I need to lose about 3 more lbs to get a perfect fit for my wedding dress. I only have 7 weeks to lose 3 lbs. What's the most efficient way to lose 3 lbs in 7 weeks? I am going back to 1200 cals a day too.…

Don't give up!
I just wanted to pop in really quick and say hi. I've been using this site for about a year now. With the help of this site and the great members I was able to lose 9lbs and I've kept it off for 6 months now. I promise you that it is possible to lose the weight and keep it off. Even if you think you've had a set back, just…

It really is possible. Thank you MPF.
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted, but I just wanted to tell everyone out there it is possible to lose the weight and keep it off. It's been just a little over a month and I've been able to keep everything off. If anything MFP has taught me how to make better food choices and it's really been a life change.…

DONE! I made my goal!
Done and done. 0 lbs to go on my ticker! :bigsmile:

Indecisive- please pick my dinner
I'm feeling really really indecisive and trying to log the rest of my days' food. I'll have about 800 cals for dinner. Any suggestions? http://tilthblog.wordpress.com/current-menus-april-dinner/

OT- sad
I just found out that a former best friend of mine (we were friends since junior high and lived together in college) is engaged. I had to find out from someone else on facebook.... It's been about a year since we've last talked. And the "best" part is that I helped pick out her ring when her fiancee and I went ring…

Confession: I haven't...
Please forgive me. Today was the first day that I've been to the gym in almost 2 months. I have been losing weight still, but I feel like it's been a lot slower than if I would have been going to the gym these last 8 weeks. I have been walking a lot more and wii fitting a bit too, but it just doesn't match a good sweat at…

Please help find: Brocamole
A few months ago someone posted a great recipe for "brocamole." It was a replacement for guacamole that used 1 avocado and 1 head of broccoli steamed and other ingredients. I tried using the search function and wild cards, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have this recipe still? Thanks!

Is this an ok subsitute?
Is plain yogurt an ok subsitute for mayo? I was going to use that for tuna or chicken salad, but I wasn't sure if it was going to taste funky and I didn't want to buy a tub of plain yogurt and have to throw it out if it wasn't going to work. Thanks!

Home from vacation
I'm home from my whirlwind tour of Europe (Madrid, Lisbon and London) and I'm happy to report I didn't gain any weight! :happy: Since we were walking around (I'm guestimating 5-6 miles a day) my legs are feeling pretty muscular. Also, if anyone hasn't heard of these flip flops, they're amazing. They called Fit Flops and…

OT- What do you collect?
I'm (obviously) bored at work and just curious to see if anyone collects anything? I collect Starbucks City Mugs. I buy a mug each time I visit a new city. I have about 20 of them right now and I've run out of room to store them. I also collect sunglasses (about 15 pairs which is kinda funny because I only use them for…

dumbest epiphany ever
So I've been sitting here flipping through a magazine and it just really hit me, no matter how hard I try I will probably never have the body of one of the magazine girls. I've known about the airbrushing that mags do, but holy crap. It really hit me like a truck that it's just so unattainable. *sigh* Why in the world do…

Asparagus
Huh? I don't get it. Why does 8 ounces of asparagus have 190 calories? It doesn't seem like asparagus should have that much. Does anyone know why?

Detox tea- does anyone know?
So I bought some detox tea and had my first cup last night. I brewed 1 bag in about 14 ounces of water and let it steep (covered) for almost 10 minutes. I haven't detoxed anything. Am I doing something wrong? Should I use less water? More tea bags? Thanks.

Confused! Could I really have this much fat?!
I'm so confused right now. I looked up how much body fat I should carry and if my calculations are correct then holy crap! :noway: This is the guide I used. Use the percentage to determine how much your body fat weighs. For example, if you weigh 150 lb. and your body fat percentage is 25 percent, you have 37.5 lb. of fat…

How to eat healthy in Europe?
I leave for Spain and Portugal a week from today and I really want to continue eating healthy while I'm traveling. (I'm so close to my goal and can't have this trip derail me!) I think that Portugal will be easier because they're really big into seafood, but I just need some tips and tricks for eating healthy while…

restaurant food
why does restaurant food always make me feel so dense the day after? I went out for sushi last night for dinner and now I just feel dense. Yesterday (before dinner) was the first day where I was really feeling thin and great. And today, I feel dense and blah. I didn't eat outside of my allowed calories and I don't think I…

OT-In hindsight...
I'm a bit bored at work this morning and I'm just curious to see how you guys would finish this. In hindsight I'm glad that I did/didn't... In hindsight I'm glad that I didn't buy a Porsche Cayenne last year. Not only is premium gas $4.60 a gallon here, but because I don't have car payments I was able to take lots of trips…

is it time to switch?
I'm not sure if I should be switching to maintenance calories yet, but here's the deal: I'm currently eating 1200 cals a day and I do eat my exercise cals too, however, I always seem to be starving. My BMI is about 20.2 right now. I'm 2lbs away from my happy goal (like I could deal with my weight) and 6 away from my omg,…

Wii Fit Silicone Cover
Has anyone gotten the silicone cover for their wii fit board? Does it interfere with the exercises? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

19 days to be swimsuit ready!
*gulp* This is a blessing and a curse all in one. I have 19 days before I take off for Portugal and I need to be swimsuit ready by then. What can I do in 19 days to do this? I know that quick fixes aren't the best way (and I'm not talking about going under 1200 cals or anything like that), but is there anything I can do to…

Can't find info for Miso Salmon at cheesecake factory
I have to go out to dinner tonight at the cheesecake factory and I think I'm going to have the miso salmon, but I can't find the information for it anywhere. I've been on the cheesecake factory website and googled it, but nothing. Anyone have any info on the miso salmon dish at the cheesecake factory? Thanks!

off topic- yippie! good news!
I'm going to Europe at the end of the month for a little 10 day vacation!!!! Yippie! I think I'm pretty certain we're starting in Madrid and we'll either work our way out to Lisbon, Portugal or work our way in to Paris (with a stop in Bordeaux-yuuuummmmm) or maybe down to Morocco? I've been to Paris before, so I'd rather…

Off Topic- My friend's fiancee sucks
I'm so sorry for the word vomit that's about to come out, but this is all I can do at this point so that I don't go yell at him, while I'm still a guest in their house. I'm in MN visiting my BFF (of 22 years) trying to help her find a wedding dress and us bridesmaid dresses. Because of the distance, this is the first time…
