Like Minded Lushes - August 2010
I woke up on my couch in the fog of a hangover and realized it's August. So gang, that means it's time to check in. How did you do compared to the goals you posted at the beginning of July? I said I wanted to lose another 10 pounds and drink at most 3 times a week. Well, over a week ago I was as -6 for the month of July.…

Like Minded Lushes - July 2010
OK all you lushes, the bar is open. As I posted under the original Like Minded Lushes topic, I think we should have a new topic for every month. That way we can track goals and easily go back to see how we have made progress (hopefully!). So hopefully you all found your way here. As for myself, so far I have lost 16…

Like Minded Lushes - Part 1
For those of you who may have seen Tameka1220's post this morning about her near 2 weeks without alcohol, it's certainly created some great discussion - mostly from people like me who think that's really quite the feat! So half joking or not, it sounds like those of us who just can't give up the empty calories might need…

French Toast & Pancakes & Waffles Oh My
I recently had family visit me from out of town, which ensured there were be a lot of dining out. In reviewing breakfast options, it always seemed like things like pancakes, belgian waffles, and even french toast were (according to the food database) some of the best options out there, both in terms of nutritional value…

Commit... or be COMMITTED!
They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I'm going to have to keep reminding myself of that, and the fact that just because I have incorporated some good habits in my life that doesn't mean I can stick with some of the bad ones and expect to show…

Wheat Berry Bread
Does anyone know about about general nurtitional value of wheat berry bread? They have a deli in my building that has it for sandwiches, and it's thick and very tasty. It would seem it is similar to whole grain breads and thus similar in nutritional value (and not the devil like white bread lol). I asked to see the…

New HRM - Wake Up Call, Grumble & Lessons Learned
Well, after hearing so much on here about the benefits of a heart rate monitor an reading many posts about the different kinds, I went out today and bought a Polar FT7. Very easy to set up. I got one to mainly to more accurately track calories, because as others have pointed out, using what the machine told you or what was…

Lunchmeat?
I'm sorry if this has been posted a million times but I searched the topics and didn't quite fine what I was looking for. I was just reading in another post about the "evils" of lunchmeat along with other "processed" foods. I guess I am not understanding why lunchmeat (the lean varierty anyway) is the devil? I am looking…

Too much protein?
I have noticed that many times I am under my daily calorie, fat and carbs goals but over on protein. Not drastically over or anything, usually within 10g, sometimes more. I understand that it is important to eat well proportioned meals, but also know there is debate about the proper percentages e.g. 40/30/30 etc. I guess…

Round Two
Hello to my old friends and hopefully to some new ones. I've just come back to this site after a two year hiatus. Wish I could say I kept the gains I made the first time around but not so and now it's time to motivate!

O'Charley's Is The Devil
OK, I just took my kids to O'Charley's because hey - they eat for free. Let me just tell you this is not a diet friendly recipe. I opted for the black & bleu caesar salad (a caeser with sliced sirloin). Sure, I knew that between the bleu cheese, bacon bits, and dressing, this was going to be not the smartest idea but…

Is This Holiday Over Yet?
Freakin' Labor Day weekend has absolutely killed my diet, exercise, and momentum! :mad: :grumble:

Water v. Crystal Light
YES, that old chestnut. Sorry to bring it up AGAIN. My head is swimming. I drink a lot of diet pop. I recently discovered the Crystal Light On the Go packets and think "hey, great, I can drink more water this way." But I have read posts here and on other sites (and been lectured by Pit-master Ali) that this is no good.…

New GUY
Hello all. I have been using this site for nutritional info for quite some time, but have never used the diet & exercise journal for whatever dumb reason. After dropping 30 lbs, I hit a plateau, so I took a two week break and started again this week, including the journal. Am I the only guy on this website (besides "Mike"…
