OK, posting to keep me honest
Hi all my MFP friends, I have been on the recovery list for 3 weeks and two days now and I have had a lot of good wishes from a lot of you. Thank you so much. The first couple of weeks of not doing anything (but sitting and doing nothing) was kind of ok. I maintained my weight and didn't really gain anything. But then it…

Thanks for the help
I wanted to thank everyone who sent me a flower on this page. It was so sweet to get so many and I know it is mostly from my MFP friends. 25000 goal was reached through the program, so I guess Myspace.com or who ever set up the event is going to pay the entire money. I bet they didn't think it would be reached in 10 days.…

typing board thing is called what?
I am trying to buy something on line on ebay, but I don't know what to type in to find it. I was hoping someone would know what it is called. It is the board you stand up and you can put the papers on it that you want to read from while you are typing. Does anyone know what that is called specifically? Thanks, SM

OK, Half Way Reached.
I joined MFP after already loosing a few pounds, so while my current ticker doesn't show it as half, I am actually at the half way mark. :drinker: :drinker: My goal to loose 50 is now to loose 25. Yeah.:bigsmile: At my heaviest I was 180 and I am now at 155 in the morning. I had my husband today pull down a bunch of my…

Calories in Mongolian grill take out vegitables?
Hello, I was at the mall and so the only thing that looked good and still lower in calories was this mongolian grill place. So I filled up my bowl with vegitables, baby corns, tomatoes, celery, cabbage and some other stuff. But then he poured a little of this other stuff on top of it, but I told him to oils. I think it was…

for those questioning calories burned during work outs
I just thought I would mention to those who didn't know how many calories they were burning and questioned how right the calories are on MFP. I am amazed every time I go running and I am wearing my HRM with strap and I come home and put in how long I ran and how fast, I swear... IT is within a few calories of being the…
-
Yeah!
OK, I measure all the stuff I have been measuring, but it had been a month and wow. I lost .25 inch around my neck 1 inch in my waist 1.5 inches in my hips 1.5 inches in my thighs. The funny thing is, while I was under treatment and gaining weight, I kept having to buy bigger underwear, I had a bunch sometimes I didn't…

Thinking about running, but I have a question
I usually run in the morning, early and eat a small energy bar before I go, but now that I am back to work I only have a couple chances a week to get out. I was thinking about running tonight, before it gets late, but I just ate dinner, and while I am not totally stuffed, it was a good size meal and was wondering how long…

Didn't gain any thing.
This weekend I went to visit my mom in Lake Havasu and we usually alway do a lot of eating and snacking while there and no matter how hard I try to watch what I eat I usually gain at least a pound if not more. Well this last weekend I guess I watched a little better than usual and even though I ate some things I shouldn't,…

another good doctor day.
I love it any more when I go and they weigh me. I am not there for my weight, so I don't know why they have to weigh me anymore, but still I get on that scale just the same every time. Last time (3 weeks ago) I went it was officially 15 pounds I had lost, This time I am now at the 20 pounds lost and with the 1 pound less…

Wow, I can't believe I won something
Yesterday when we went to the market, we spent a fortune, over 300 bucks:grumble: , (some because of my special needs for my diet) anyway they were having a contest and it printed out on the reciept all the entry forms. So I filled them all out and put them in. I didn't realize it was a daily drawing and I won the 200…

changed habits
I didn't always eat the best before, and love the sweets, but I have become so use to not eating so much and keeping the portions down, even when I think I have gone over for the day, I still have calories left. The only reason I bring it up is for those who are starting out and feel like you just can't live on so few…

if your not really hungry, but should eat?
OK, so I haven't been really hungry today, and have had a couple days like that. (not in a row) Is it really OK to supliment say 2 meals with some kind of a nutrition bar? It saves a lot of calories, but is it healthy to do that? Specially when the nutrition bars are only 150 or less in calories? And I ran for an hour this…

Breen Burrito mix up, 800 calories for that!
I decided to treat myself a little and went through the Green Burrito Drive through, but my intentions were still to be good. I ordered a Chicken Taco soft and a fish taco for later.:drinker: What I got was one of those giant taco salads with all the stuff in it. :sad: Not to mention the stupid shell that they put it in…

buying HRM hopefully today. ????
I know we have chatted to death about the different HRM, but I was looking at some different one and was hoping some of you had them and could tell me if they are worth it? The Mio has two that I was looking at, Select Petite and the Classic sport select (both available in pink) Then the Nike Imara Of course I really want…

Great Doctor Appointment today!
I go to the doctors every 2 to 3 weeks regular,(see profile re:pumping up) and they always weigh me. So today I mentioned how I have been running and watching my food using this site to help loose what I gained and asked the nurse if she could pull up all my old weigh ins. (I never thought to ask before) Officially I lost…

hiking and running trails
I am so excited. :bigsmile: I have been trying to find out how to find good paths & trails around here, but got no where fast. Last night I ordered 3 books that cover my general area with running and hiking trails. I can't wait to get them. My area is really large (San Bernardino/Southern California) so I will have to…

carbs in grapes...wow
I was surprised when I finished lunch and had all my food logged that I had almost reached my daily carb intake already and was still below 600 calories for the day. I thought how great I had done with a salad and grapes and a little health bar for lunch, but who would have thought that those little watery snacks had that…

suggestions on food scales?
I am looking into buying a kitchen scale to better know what I am eating and just wanted to check if there is anything in particular I should look for in a little scale. I am finding ebay to be the cheapest place, but of course I can't see them and I have never had a kitchen scale before. Thanks SM

Silly really, Mobster, maphia wars and heros?
OK, I have started playing the game application that are on Myspace and was looking for people who play it also so we can join our teams up. I don't have any body who can rally join me and so I am looking for friends to add to myspace so I can add to my games? Let me know if you are interested. SM

Super Pops
I happened into a Smart & Final this evening for dinner idea and picked up some Super Pops. They look like the Big Stick pops you get in the frozen pops section. I just thought I would mention how yummy it was to have one for desert and it was only 90 Calories. They were just a little creamier than the ones I remember, and…

I guess I will put it out there also.
I haven't been very good at getting up to run. I have only gone once on Tuesday since Thursday last week and the treadmill today. I went on a weekend vacation and it threw me off my game. So tonight I have mapped out a semi new map to run and bump up my 5.5 mile run to a 6.4 mile run. I am going to bed early and getting up…

mmm... seemed like cheat!
I tried this on a whim, was in the mood for chips and dip, but we all know how that can go and calories. So I splerged and figured out a lunch that was tasty and filling and kept my calories down while kind of cheating and satisfied that craving! And I am kind of full. 1/2 cup of Rosarita Refried Beans 120 cal about half a…

Hair question
Hi all, I had always had longer hair from teen hood, but after my treatments I had to start from scratch. Now it has been more fun than I thought trying to do things with short hair. It grew back a different color, so now I get it colored and then of course I get it styled. The question I have is, how do you not cut it…

Bummer!
I have been doing everything right! Keeping my calories at 1200 is easy and I have been totally getting out and running and working out. But I am 1.5 pounds heavier today? :huh: I am soooooo bummed, I should have lost another pound this week and nothing. I even ran 4 miles this morning. Do you think this is just a pre-…

Oops how many is a serving?
OK, so I was kind of snacking for my lunch and so I grabbed a few Triscuits and a big bowl of Watermellon. I was going to snack on something else when I realized I should have been reading with my glasses when I look at how many triscuits are a serving. I thought it said 10, but what it said was 6 and 10 is how many…

At the doctors today it was great!
OK, I have been having to go to the doctors almost every week to every 3 weeks minimum for almost 2 years now. Sometimes I would go a few times in a week and every time I went I slowly saw my weight go up and up from 130 up to as high as 178. Between Stairoids and not being able to run or really work out, I just gave up…

Quick & pretty good Pasta
The fastest and wonderful way to have pasta and not have a ton of calories is cook which ever pasta you like (I like sea shells) and heat up some already diced and seasones can of tomatos. The pasta will be what it is and the stewed or diced tomatos will be anywhere from 25 to 50 calories for half a cup! You could put a…
