McCafe
Being a coffee fan, I love the new coffee products that McDonalds has recently started serving. I had to search, but found the nutritional value of everything--whole fat milk vs non fat milk. The main thing is making sure you choose the non fat milk and sugar free syrups, if not............WHOA:noway: The large full fat…

New Love
I love salads but I have always had problems with light dressings. I have a very sensitive taste towards any artificial sweetner...I can taste it in ANYTHING! Light/Fat Free Dressings are so gross to me!! So I mostly have used olive oil/different types of vinegar but I really like creamy dressings. I have started making…

...so it was a baaaad night
I'd like to get input on this.......I was at the gym today, giving my ever loving all to the treadmill when a pain so hard and so sharp hit me in the upper middle of my chest. I thought it was "THE BIG ONE"!! I immediately stopped on the treadmill and went to sit down on a weight machine to recover....the pain wouldn't go…

Satisfied

Huh?
I have been here now since May and have learned ALOT!!!!!!! I have been following a really strict excercise regime of no less than 45 min of intense cardio 6 days a week, and machine weights 2-3 days a week. The weight loss has been good, but it seems to have crawled off slowly. I have had a major summer cold and have not…

Honey
I went to my local health food store and asked for help with my sore throat. She sold me some organic raw honey........OMG!!!!!!! :love: :love: Has anyone else had this? It's a completely different consistancy than regular honey, it's almost a solid and it's not as strong as processed honey. I could eat the whole jar…

Rewards
In this new lifestyle I'm working on, I'm learning to reward myself with something other than food. I just got back from treating myself to a pedicure over my lunch hour...~sigh~ .......heaven!!!!!! And unlike when I finish a "reward" meal and have nothing to show for it......I have pretty "piggies":tongue: What are some…

For those of you that are familiar with him, what is Election Night 2008 going to be without his dry erase board?????????? This is awfully sad, I feel horrible for his family.

Watermelon
Does anyone know if the natural sugars in fruits are as harmful to weight loss as refined sugars that you would get in processed foods. I just added watermelon to my food tracker and I knew it was really sweet, but it has many more sugar grams than I thought it would.
