Sounds good but how about PB and Marshmellow fluff.  Awsome!

Ah yes!!!  You and I were on the same brain wave!  Nothing like PB and Marshmellow Fluff.  I loved that when I was growing up.  Although PB and Bananas is a close second and then the classic PB&J is right there at third.

When I dont have anything to put with the PB I can eat it plain and I am satisfied. :)

 

I have never tried Nutella though...people keep talking about how good it is.  I think I would like to try another nut spread before tasting Nutella.  Like Almondbutter, sunflower seed butter, etc.

wow this thread just made me crave sooo many things:

first of all, nestle's flipz were freaking awesome.... where did those go?!?!

secondly, rice krispies treats cereal... sseriously that is such a throwback. my grandfather used to pour me a bowl of them with chocolate milk topped with m&m's for breakfast!!!!! no wonder im on caloriecount these days, are you kidding me?!!?

and xxstar...if you are referring to otis spunkmeyer cookies (which were 3 for a dollar when I was a kid) which are quite possibly the most amazing cookie ever... i am WITH you.

one thing i thought of... i can't seem to find lifesavers original or lifesavers butterscotch just in the roll pack anymore. They are all individually wrapped now... so not fun!

 They still sell Flipz (chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate) in the grocery stores around here.  I used to eat a whole bag of these in one sitting.  I would work out at the gym for about an hour then come home and was justified in eating them because I had just done my workout.  Little did I know how many calories they had per serving and how many servings there was to ONE bag!

And the lifesavers.  I just bought a roll of the butterscotch/butterrum at my local gas station yesterday.  I love them so much!

These crazy cookies from the 80's or 90's called smiles (They were like vanilla and choc oreos)

Speaking of McDonalds I know some of you mentioned their pizza, anyone remember the McLean Deluxe (kinda ahead of its time)

Also Pepsi Jazz (im in the states and cant find it) and my Tab is becoming harder and harder to find.

 I just looked this cookie up and they were called "giggles" by nabisco!  wow!  I cannot believe you remembered these.  I have a memory of these cookies from the first grade at lunch where my mom would pack me about 5 of them for a treat and everyone would beg me for one.  One day a girl threatened to tell the teacher I was talking during lunch if I did not give her one.  LOL! I think I ended up giving her one.  Oh well I am easily manipulated I guess. :)

Thanks for bringing these up....love them!

"My grandmother is British so Christmas dinner was always a huge roast with roasted potatoes, etc. So from those meals... I really only miss yorkshire pudding. :(

For Thanksgiving, I miss stuffing. "

 

AGREE!!  My stepmother is British as well and I love it when she makes yorkshire pudding!  I cannot get enough of the stuff.  And then the potatoes she makes, the parsnips, the carrots, brussel sprouts....sure some of it sounds heathly but when you eat a ton it can add up!

Oh and my dad's pumpkin pie and homemade stuffing.  He uses about half a loaf of bread for that stuffing mixed with sausage, spices, celery, onions...it is so goooooood! :)

I am getting so excited for the holidays now....but I know I have to be careful as well.

Oh my goodness! YESSSS!!! These are so good and I find myself eating them all the time after dinner for that little bit of sweetness that I crave.  Or I bag some up as a snack to munch on at work.

The person who thought of these is a genius!

Weight Loss 130/120 Club? Apr 02 2008

Thank you sauciedj & dmartineau1 for the advice!

Right now I am doing 30 pounds weights on my legs about 2-3 times a week.  I never go up in weights just do a lot of reps.  I heard that adding weight is what causes the bulkyness.   I used to have a lot of fat right behind my calf under my knee area.  That has started to go away but my calves are still 15".  I think it might be hereditary since my dad has such big ones.

I think I will just try to stretch more and continue to run.  It is working on getting rid of the fat at least.  I would just love the lean look on my muscles.

I did do pilates for awhile and that really leaned my arms and stomach out so maybe I can start trying that again.

 

Weight Loss 130/120 Club? Apr 01 2008

I would like to join the club! :)

I am 5'2 3/4" and currently sit at 126-130 depending on where and when I get weighed.  People around my office do not believe that i weigh that much because they all think I look so tiny.     I guess I carry it well as the saying goes.

But I am not happy with it.  I mean I feel good since my highest weight was 270 back in 2003 so to have come this far is a big accomplishment for me.  Plus I am running in 5k which I never would have though was possible last year!

I would like to be around 120.  I work out about 5-6 times a week for about 60 minutes.   My calorie intake is about 1200-1500 which I have been told I need to up since I work out so much and it might help me shed a few more pounds.  I do weights maybe 2 times out of the week.

Does anyone have any suggestions on toning?  The weights seem to help my arms but my legs still look all bulky and huge!  I got my big calves from my dad and they just do not seem to want to lean out!

Good Luck to everyone!  It has been fun reading your posts!

thank you both for the help!!

I am new to the site as far as using the tools and posting but I have been hiding in the background for the last month reading the forums. I am trying to understand the whole calorie thing because I do not want to go into "starvation mode" as I have seen it called.

thanks again! I will start working on my activity log.
