Haha...I caught it...had a giggle ;)

>:)

Yes, have been without one for over 7 yrs. Never miss it unless I want to warm up those hot packs for my back. It nukes the nutrients right out of your food so it was an easy decision for me. I have a toaster oven/toaster but find I don't even use that. I just warmed things up in the oven - and got a convection oven a…

I too went without a period for 6 months and then had one for last 2 months- wonky, but that's how it's suppose to be during this time I guess? I decided I needed more direction in January and needed to start with a type of detox - I crave and ate/drank everything. I did the Dr. Oz total 10 and it really gave me a head…

Yepper! and I'm 43. I have stints of hot flashes where I'm just burning up and it's unbearable during day and night while trying to sleep. Can I log that on my cardio count?!! I sweat enough! :# They say your weight just goes up and down in general ... I find that too, enough so that I thought it was my scale so bought…

That made me giggle (*)

I tried the zucchini noodles raw last night with a hot homemade sauce over top and they were awesome! I'm not going to boil anymore. Surprisingly delish! And takes care of soggy issue. Oh...but careful! I got my finger too close to the blade and took off half my fingernail - ouch!

Sounds great!

Yep I do!!

Good info for me Ashley...thanks!!

;)

Awesome!! Good luck on your journey too...will stay in touch! (PS I'm just about to jump on my rebounder...yay?! ;) )

Thanks...stay tuned o:)

Thanks for that link! Good resource. You both mention a heart rate monitor I'm going to look into getting that- I like gadgets that are helpful and that I can't hurt myself on! Ha. Thanks morgaen + total...

Thank you. I really plan to focus on this - to get my head in the game and hopefully the rest will follow. With healthy eating and a clean lifestyle I see results and I can just imagine how much better it will be to add physical exercise. It doesn't help that I'm the clumbsiest person alive ha! I just healed from a back…

This was helpful thanks. Congrats on doing so well too...it takes a lot to make that all happen and you seem to have found what works for you. Me? I've been doing well with the healthy eating and curbing cravings but it's the exercising that feels like this huge monster in my life. I have never liked it and have no idea…

Some people have posted that they eat them raw with sauce over them to eliminate the soggy noodle. I like to boil for 2 min and don't mind the liquid so much.

Must count for something :D

I'm in south western ontario, 42, f. Nice to know you are all freezing right along with me :D warms my heart! Feel free to add me if anyone needs a pal for encouragement. Keep warm!!

Love mine too, although I bought 1 for $20 at a kitchen place and then weeks later was at the dollar store and the same one was for $3! Ggrrr! Of course for some reason I bought that one too...ha! Love making veggie noodles and cucumber salads. Fun to eat!

I'm bad and said I won't set a wedding date or make plans until I lose my weight. I feel kinda bad like I'm punishing myself in a way (and maybe him) by not making plans...but I just had this vision of how I want to look on that day and thought I'd try to get close to it. We want to do something tropical and I was getting…

Ya, I bought a new scale too and didn't love the 'reading' so now have 2 scales side by side and step on both in the morning and pick a weight in between :smile: Just the act of doing that every morning is bound to burn a few cals!...if not brain cells! Ha.

Kimbers, I am doing the same thing. Splurged on valentine's day, planned ahead and thought I kept under my daily cal allotment and bam!!...up on the scales next day...then yesterday same thing...weights up on scale today! Frustrating!! Today I'm trying to make up for it and eat low cals, but I'm sitting here craaaving…

Hi just came to this site maybe 11 days ago so I have no 'friends' here yet :D ....would love to have and send some positive energy on this journey.
