Good day everyone!!!
Welcome new members: Ysmht, Kiannarb, Pennotmam, Ktdancey, Ritaspal, and Mileyea! We're all happy to have you with us getting fit and trim for summer! :flowerforyou: Our forum is your forum.
Pennhotmom - I recommend Vegetarian Times magazine and vegetarian and vegan cook books for great recipes for vegetables. I went vegetarian a few years ago (started eating meat again) and I kept all of my old cookbooks and magazines.

Soosweet12, this trophy is for you!
Your willingness to go back inside and get that workout done shows great mental strength. Like you said, "Your mind took over your body". What an awesome NSV! Seriously, WTG! Yours is the kinds of NSV I want to experience everyday. You're definitely going to reach your goals with that attitude.
Bravo, Soosweet12!
@Soosweet12 - here's some motivation for you! You can do it, lady! Make this week great! 0 -
SW: 184.8
GW: 160
01/21 weight: 184
01/28 weight: 181.6
02/04 weight: 179.8
02/11 weight: 179.8
No loss today, but I was down to 177 on Friday. The body is a very tricky machine (too much sodium over the weekend I guess).
NSV:
Week 3 of Insanity completed! Having some issues with shin but will attempt moving on to week 4. I've been doing pretty well getting up in the morning to face Shaun T. Eating clean can be a challenge but not impossible.
Weight loss for the week = 0
Total loss = - 5
Three weeks of Insanity and you're going back for more? You are a champion! 0 -

Hey everyone so I came across this neat lunch. It's called salad in a jar. I tried it for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it!! I made 5 jars on Sunday so I'll have one for everyday this week. Here's a link http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/2012/07/quick-and-easy-lunch-idea-salad-in-a-jar/
I think next week I may add chicken or tuna to my jars.0 -
Thanks for the suggestion. Years ago I was a vegetarian. I am now a meat eater, but I definitely want to try different veggies. My goal is to eat more things that are in season.0

I just love this idea! I pinned this on Pinterest but I haven't tried it yet. I'm making spaghetti for dinner, perhaps I'll use the jars from that for my salads.0 -

OMG I got totally off track this weekend. The church dinner required so much time and work. It was fun and a success but I ate horribly all weekend and did not log or have the time or energy to exercise. I need to get back on track and start again....NOW! I need to refocus.0 -

I have a question. I know that sugar from fresh fruit is best, but do you think it is possible to have too much fresh fruit where sugar could hinder weight loss? Reason why I am asking is because, I am not moving in my weight and I may need to tweak what I am eating. I have been making Nutribullet drinks with (spinach, frozen fruit, chia seeds or flax seed, 1/2 banana, and fiber powder or sometimes protein powder if I need that boost). I have been using green tea with pomegranate flavor or either water as my liquid for these drinks.
Then sometimes as a snack, I have a piece of fruit (whatever I have on hand: apple, orange, pear....), do you think I am taking in too much sugar and that could be causing me not to lose weight? I am working out and staying under my calorie count, so I am not sure what is happening. Wanted to get a few suggestions.
Thanks Ladies!
