I just got off the pill right about the same time I started here. About 3 months ago. I definitely didn't gain weight but I am wondering if it has made loosing harder? I know I could be a lot better about logging and exercising but I am not sure if getting off the pill did me any favors either. Hopefully things are…

The last week or so I have lost my mojo......but I did keep logging for the most part and have been doing ok. Not great but ok. Today I am getting back into it. Heading to the gym after work and really going to push it. Hope everyone else is well! I caught up on reading and you are all amazing!

I have been doing the stretching every day. Then again I always stretch in the morning so yay for that! My bad habit that I have gotten into is ice cream. Summer is here and I love it and tend to over do it. So far this week though I have been good about it!

A good rule of thumb is if you want to eat back your exercise calories (and you can if you want to) is to only eat back half of them. This way in case there are any errors (because there is no way to exactly measure how many calories you burn).

I have never done the 21 day fix but I did try 30 day shred. If they are similar then I would log it as circuit training. That is what most people told me when I first started it here. Hope that helps!

I use Body tech - Whey Tech Pro 24. It comes in different flavors. The chocolate one is good. I have vanilla too and it is ok. I put it either in smoothies for breakfast or just water for a nice after work out drink.

I have cats as well. Two of them go on the leash. They don't really walk though....more like take two steps and then roll in the grass.... or they just army crawl for a bit and give up.

Any loss is worth celebrating! Great job!!!

Welcome to all the wonderful new people! You have found an amazing group of people who love to support each other! Feel free to add me if you like ;) Have to give it one more day before I can get back in the pool. I have really missed swimming and can't wait to get back at it!

For real. Overall I do like the gym. This last week though I got water in my ears from swimming and got an ear infection which turned into Vertigo. So I have had to lay off swimming for a bit which is what I love to to. Also just trying to stand up with Vertigo was not good....Thankfully my ears are better so I can get…

My fitness goal is going to be just getting to the gym at all. I have been bad about this last week. So this will be a good way to get the kick in the butt I need to get back into it.

Sorry I have been kinda MIA the last few days. I have just not been feeling good. Been super tired and had a nice case of Vertigo. Still not feeling super great but trying to push through. Will try to go and read through on everyone's NSV and SV ASAP! Happy Monday and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Yeah.....the sleep one is going to be hard. I try to get to bed to sleep right but my brain just doesn't turn off. Doesn't help that I get up so early for work. I am going to really try this week though! The food one sounds fun!

Back after the birthday weekend. Thank you everyone for the Birthday wishes. It was a good weekend. I over did it a bit with the wine......was pretty good with the food though! Now to get back at it. I too will not be checking the scale this week since that time is supposed to start soon......but I know if I log as best I…

Congrats @modacielo73 !!! That is wonderful!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

I do a lot of walking as well. If I am not walking then I go swimming. Both have been really helpful in getting more active. My goal is to work up to more intense workouts but for now I am happy with just these two!

From what I can tell the author of the Blog, Tony Posnanski, where her "response" is knows her. She has written to him a bunch of times. She was featured in another interview about a year ago here as well. In this interview she talks about how she reached out to the blogger. I still think it is a beautiful response even if…

Me four!

Haven't reported in this week much. Sorry! I have been pretty close all this week to my fiber goal. Right around the 20 mark everyday. I know I can improve it. Just want to be careful. I have a 4 hour commute to work everyday and my stomach and I have an agreement lol. I have not done any Kegels...... I'll try to get some…

Just wanted to say Hello to all the new people and welcome! Congrats to everyone who had NSV and SV!! Good job!!! I am trying to be extra good this week because it is my Birthday Sat and we are going to a winery. And Ice creme cake. So yeah.....trying to get to the gym a for an extra day this week! Hope everyone is well.…

This is the one I go with if I have the time allrecipes.com/recipe/guacamole/ If I don't have the time I just mash up the avocados and mix it with Santa Barbara Mild Salsa and just add some lime juice so it doesn't turn green!! Now I want chips and salsa....lol!!

Happy Belated Birthday @MischelM !! Hope you had a wonderful day! That is very good exciting @bregalad5 ! Best of luck in your new place! I hit my small goal of loosing 15lbs a week early. My goal was to do it before my birthday next weekend! Good news all around so far!

I have some stomach issue but I am going to try. I think it will help! I make a great home made guacamole

I just got Amazon Prime. They have a ton of free music and playlist with no ads which is nice.

My birthday is next week. We are going to a winery. I plan on drinking. A lot. Also there will be cake. I will enjoy my birthday and worry about the rest after.

This is so me!! Love it

Welcome to all the new people! Feel free to add me if you like! @want2behappy31 Congrats on the scale movement!!!!! So so happy for you! @blackberryvodka Of course you are welcome to join us! Let us know how we can help you. @ptkat28 I am not sure how you can log that. Maybe just log it under gardening? Or if you know how…

I have my Folgers coffee with either regular 2% milk or almond milk. Depends on what I grab from the fridge. Sometime I will spice it up with a creamer but that is mostly in the fall or winter when I want pumpkin or peppermint but I don't do that every day. There have been some great suggestions on here though that I want…
