  • @Mrsallen6_11‌ venison stew sounds GREAT. My in-laws hunt, so we get a freezer full of steaks and summer sausage every visit. What a treat! @lsabeIIe‌ thank you for all of your encouragement and support : ) We're going to a friend's cabin for the weekend. We're supposed to be skiing and snowboarding, but it's cold enough…
  • I've been having a kale and romaine mix with shredded carrots, red onion or shallots, sesame seeds, and peanuts, and dressed with rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. I'll also add whatever cooked or raw veg I have on hand - roasted cubed butternut squash, julienned red peppers, diced avocado. Depending on the day, I'll add…
  • Hi Jenn and Jade. Welcome! And that sounds like a good day and plan, Mrsallen. After an intense snack attack and migraine yesterday, I'm back at it today. I started a crockpot dinner of chicken thighs and homemade marinara sauce. I had a protein-rich breakfast, and have a big 'ol salad for lunch. I'm hoping to get to zumba…
  • Wow! Great job everyone! I took a hard and fast fall off the wagon yesterday, but I'm back at it today. I had a migraine and a nerve-wracking meeting with my boss, so I ate my feelings and plowed through some chips and cookies with lunch. Dinner was roasted veggies and meatballs though. No time to go to the gym in the…

I bought some cushy shoe inserts so hopefully that helps at class tonight! I had a rough time on the scale this morning - up 5 lbs - which is sort…
  • Hi everyone! I took a desk job, bought a car, and stopped bike/train commuting about a year ago. So of course, I gained weight. My goals are to lose 20 lbs, to attend my fitness classes at least 3 times each week, and (once it's above 40 degrees out, it's frigid and icy now in Chicago) take a long walk or jog on the days…
  • Hi tall ladies! I'm 5'10'' and at 167 lbs, but I'd like to drop down to 150. I just started wearing a Fitbit and tracking my walking after my desk job caught up with me (woof, that was an easy 10 lbs), and I've started taking a variety of cardio classes 3-4 times a week.
