Setting weekly goals
Well...I weigh in on Fridays and I didn't lose a thing. :( I've cut down my red wine this week (I usually had a glass a night) and I was on the treadmill everyday since Sunday. It's a little depressing. But I will keep chugging anyways. This weeks goals are: ~no wine during the week (M-F) ~cut down on night time eating (I…

Food For Thought...hmmmmmm
I remember, back when I was a kid, milk went bad if we didn't drink it within a week or so. Bread went moldy too. We bought milk before we went camping almost 2 weeks ago and forgot to bring it with us. I just checked the BB date and it's not till Aug 12! Seriously?!?! And bread, I don't remember the last time I had bread…

I've reached my goals! From size 14/16 to a size 6!
Okay, so...I've been on MFP over the years, but in Sept of 2010 I got pretty serious about losing weight and especially, being healthy. It has been quite a journey.

Raspberry Mini Muffins (apx 50 cals per muffin)
I found this recipe at About.com. The reviews were mixed, so I tweaked the recipe a bit. I really like these and they were low in calories,fat and sodium. However, as a side note, they aren't very sweet but I thought they were very yummy! Ingredients: 2 cups flour 3 tablespoon sugar ( plus I added a little more on top of…

Crystal Light and the like...
I wish we could add polls sometimes, cause this would be a good poll... When adding Crystal Light or other suger free sweeteners to water, do you calculate that as water intake for the day or do you only include plain water nothing added as your water intake? I personally hate the fact that I'm drinking the sweetener, but…

It really is a lifestyle change! Thanks MFP!
Everyday, I read through the MFP posts and learn something new! The longer I'm a member of MFP the more I learn. I've been making a lot of changes over the months and surely hasn't been easy. I've become much more aware of what I put into my body than ever before! First thing I did was cut out the diet soda. I do not buy…

Okay, so I'm trying to look for something to bring to a get-together tomorrow. I'm not a weight watcher follower at all. I really have no idea how their points work. But I have the recipe that a friend had given me a long time ago. It looks so easy to make so I thought I might try it. Has anyone made this before? What are…

Protien question
According to MFP I'm allotted 45g of protien a day. I'm always going over. It hardly seems like enough? Will this hinder the weight loss? I'm good with calories and stay near my fat range every day but the protein is way over. Then last night, I was watching Biggest Loser and Bob was toting the greek yougurt with a huge…

April has been so tough, it very discouraging...
First, I was doing well, shredding and feeling great, logging in all my foods and exercise here. Then I hurt my neck and shoulders while exercising and HAD to stop, it took over a week to heal, then I got a chest cold that beat the crap out of me.
