QOTD: when is the last time I tried something new - (food) last night - I made the herbed quinoa and carmelized onion salad
(Workout) last week I started to really get into the free weights and although I am intimidated by the muscle men at the gym I walked right over to the weight area and did my free weight workout! yay me0 -
Last time I tried something new was a month ago when I started bootcamp. It's a true butt kicker!0

right now I am trying to eat more calories.
Well, not that eating more is NEW but eating more calories in a controlled way?
something like that. I upped my calories to see if it helped me lose weight. so far so good - I didn't really lose but I didn't GAIN and not only did I have more energy but, you know, I got to EAT more!! So that's been awesome. 0 -
I love trying new things! I'm a very adventurous person. I tried mango tofu the other day... didn't care much for it. I went on a zipline a couple of months ago. My step-mom introduced me to goat cheese a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to think... I'm sure there is much more, I'll get back to ya.0

Now to answer my own question! The last new thing I tried would have to be running. I never in a million years thought my body could do it, but it is all mind over matter ladies and I am so very proud of myself!0
-
Actually the last time I tried something new was back in July when I decided to do the low carb lifestyle.0
-
The last time I tried something new would have been Sunday (9/11)...I was shopping with a dear friend and we shared a Pecan Caramel Cinnabon! I have to say even though I knew I shouldn't have had it....it was DELISH!!!0
-
I just decided that i'm too predictable! I had to really think to remember the last "new thing". I guess it was the recipe I found on the Whole Foods app for Broiled Tilapia with Parmesan and Herbs. A new favorite!0

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry I've been MIA. I lost my father in law last week very unexpectedly and have been dealing with it. First time having to handle the wake, funeral, and millions of things. He was only 60. Luckily my husband and I have good relations with our bank to handle the financial end of it. Please Please get a Burial insurance policy on yourselves or older love ones. No one needs to go what we had to. They wouldn't burial my FIL unless they were paid in advance and no one else could help. Who has that kind of money sitting in their checking account? It's a damn shame and while trying to grasp what has happened. Thank you for letting me rant.
I really want to be part of Round 6 so don't count me out because I truly need help in loosing the weight.
A very special shoutout to my partner Erika (foxieboxy). She was so sweet with her messages of comfort and checking on me. I don't want to lose her.
The last time I tried something new was when I was in New Orleans the second week of August. I had turtle soup. I was really good. ;-) Well, I'm married to a Cajun. Got to adapt.
Starleng.
Starleng, my heart goes out to u! I'm sorry for your loss and I wish u and ur family the best in this hard time0 -
QOTD Wednesday the 14th :bigsmile:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
My response:
Back in the 90's there was this tea that my then boss was selling that made you go to the "bathroom" all the time which in turn helped you lose weight...OMG, it was aweful!! :noway:
Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!0 -
QOTD Wednesday the 14th:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
Hmmm, the craziest think I've done was to go on the lemonade diet for about 8 days. It's basically drinking a mixture of water, lemon juice, syrup, and cayanne pepper. No food involved, only drinking the "lemonade." Needless to say my weight loss was short lived.
I don't think I need to mention the Fen/Phen, do I?0 -
The last time I tried something new was this week. I tried getting a massage to relieve the pain in my back and arm. Didn't work. :mad:0

QOTD Wednesday the 14th:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
All I can say is Laxatives... It was so bad. I can laugh now. But, then, OMG!!! :huh: LMBO!!!0 -
The craziest thing I did to loose weight is taken HCG and laxitives, along with exercising.0
-
I changed my profile to what it is because I'm a Libra and am trying to find balance with life (family, friends, work, food, exercise). :flowerforyou:0

QOTD Wednesday the 14th:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
This is terrible, but I tried to throw up. I did it for two days and just couldn't do it.0 -
I haven't really done anything crazy to lose weight. I never bought into the whole diet stuff.0
-
I've been seeing people talk about weight watchers, so I thought I would try one of the deserts, so the other day, I tried the Strawberry Shortcake from Weight Watchers Smart Ones. It was delicious. I think I will keep buying it. It has 170 calories. I also just tried the Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches my hubby bought for me. They were good too.0

I'm a Libra too! I love what you said about finding balance in life. Happy early birthday!0 -
Laxitives for me too. And some kind of pills that landed me in the hospital. But that was in my 20s and now I have learned about moving my body to lose weight not to try those things.0

QOTD Wednesday the 14th:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
About 15 years ago when metabolife first came out I started using that and wouldn't eat for a day then eat just enough to ease the hunger then I would not eat the next day; to make things worse I was going through I very hard time in my life and was drinking a lot. Needless to say I lost a lot of weight and kept it off for some time but I gained all of it back plus some once I got rid of the person who was causing me so much stress.0 -
I guess I am boring. I just decided to lose the weight in March and I joined MFP. No craziness.0

QOTD Wednesday the 14th:
What is the craziest thing you ever did to lose weight?
I haven't tried anything too extreme. I recently tried the Dukan diet to lose quickly before a vacation. I learned that while it works for some people, it did not work for me. I lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks, but I was miserable and moody. High protein/low carb is not for me. I was happy after vacation to return to my normal calorie counting.0
