English Muffin mini-pizzas!
Hi all! I used to make these all the tme before I started watching what I ate. Now that I'm counting calories, I changed it up a bit to be better. Here is the recipe: 1/2 of Thomas' whole wheat english muffin 1 tablespoon pizza sauce (I used Furmano's original pizza sauce) 2 tablespoons mozarella cheese (I used Kraft…
Question about the 30DS
So I'm seeing a lot of posts about the 30DS and that a lot of you are doing it. I'd like to start on this program as well. However, I am training myself to run a 5K in October. I run 3 days a week in the morning: MWF. I do the biggest loser toning DVD on Tues & thurs. Do you have to do the 30 days consecutively? Like if I…
so I just thought of an AWESOME food combo!
Celery & Salsa! I like celery, but I like ranch which is calorie-killer. I like salsa, but I like tortilla chips which are also bad. So...put 2 & 2 together and I could eat celery with salsa! Yum! (I'm a lil slow...i know.. :laugh: )
Lovin the fact that my pants
are starting to get looser! I don't know if I'm ready to go down a size just yet because they are more loose in the legs than in the waist, but i'm loving it nonetheless! YAY!
I am glad I have MFP...
Because even though my husband supports me, especially since he doesn't give me looks when I measure everything I eat, I know it's hard for him to have to live with me anymore. lol While I'm not on a complete turn-around, I have changed some of my habits. I don't go to get quick fixes for food & snacks anmore. I try to…
I think I check MFP more than I do Facebook...
I check facebook all day to see updates. I am now checking MFP just as much if not more for updates. I may be borderline obsessed. lol
Good baked wings recipe?
I really want chicken wings for dinner. But I want to have them baked. I've never baked wings before, only deep fried. Anyone got any good baked wing recipes?
I have found that while eating a meal....
If you put your fork down in between bites it will take longer for you to finish your meal but you will feel fuller quicker. It takes time for you to have to pick up your fork, put food on a fork, and then put it in your mouth. I've noticed that when I remember to do that, I don't eat a lot and I already start to get full…
What's your exercise schedule?
I have been running the C25K Mon, Wed, & Friday. This is my last week, but I think I'm still gonna train on those days to run my 5K in October. Tues & Thurs I do levels 1, 2, & 3 of the Biggest Loser Sculpt & tone DVD. I've been using 3lb weights, but thinking about moving up in weights because its starting to become easy.…
Got a potluck on Friday...looking foward to it!
It's not the usual "sign up and bring an unknown dish..." We are having a taco bar potluck on Friday. I made up the sign-up sheet and listed items usually on a taco. I signed up to bring ground turkey, and if no one else signs up, I'm going to bring chopped lettuce. I plan on having a taco salad with healthy fixings. I can…
What's the difference b/w the polarFT4 & FT7?
I'm defininetly getting one of those soon. I would rather get the cheaper one, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on any special features not on the FT4.
Do you drink protein after a workout?
Anytime I have a workout, I always drink protein. I mix 1 scoop of my protein with water and have that. Does anyone else do that? Should I be doing that?
Good grilled shrimp recipe?
Anyone have any good grilled shrimp recipes? I love shrimp, and I want to find a better way to eat them than fried.
Here comes my 2nd MFP weekend..
This will be my 2nd weekend on MFP. I did okay last weekend, but I really wanna do good this weekend. I will be going to our local theme park on Saturday with my hubs, 2 kids, & nephew. Good thing is that we will be walking a lot all day. Bad news is that they have such good food there! But I will try to get a salad…
I need more support :(
So my husband is supportive of what I am doing, even if he's not doing it with me. My mom is supportive, but as the same, not doing it with me. The only support I have is through MFP. The only personal support I have through here is one of my friends who moved away couple of years ago, though we still talk/keep in touch.…
Healthified Cream Cheese brownies
Made these last night exactly as recipe stated. Everyone at work LOVES them. I made about 18 brownies (I have the perfect brownie pan that comes with the dividers.) Each brownie is 160 calories each. They're really good and a decent size brownie for that amount of calories.…
Applebee's Quesadilla burger recipe
So I was browsing through Hungry Girl's website the other day and I found her recipe for her version of the quesadilla burger. I tried it tonight and mine was about 500 calories. I used a jenni-o Turkey burger instead of a boca burger, and I used different tortillas. Overall it was pretty good and I would make it again.…
Really want to sign up for a 5K....
But I'm not sure if I could do it. I start week 8 of C25K on Monday, so I'll be up to 28 minutes of continuous running. I only run at a 4.0 on my treadmill every morning. I wonder if maybe I sign up for a race for September or October if I could do it. I barely make my 25 minute run in the mornings right now, so adding 3…
Heart rate monitors?
I see a lot of people posting about HRM's. I think I'd like to get one so that when I don't have a machine telling me how many calories I burned, then I will know exactly. Cause I do my biggest loser sculpting DVD and it doesn't tell me how many calories I burned, so I can't track those. So I think I'd like to get one, but…
this will be my first weekend since returning...
I just started MFP again on Monday. In the past, the weekends were always my downfall. I usually go to my moms on the weekend and she has a lot of junk food. I guess i'll just have to use extra willpower and do good.
Healthy Snacks?
Can anyone give me some ideas for healthy snacks? I snack in between meals so that I am eating every 2-3 hours to keep my metabolism going. I'm running out of ideas for snacks, and the stuff I do eat is starting to get boring and repetitive. I get the special K bars, 100 calorie packs... Can anyone recommend healthy,…
