Since it is a 90 day program I was concerned that I might get bored, but I have not gotten bored once. I am in week 8 of BR and have really enjoyed it. I have learned one thing...I don't like planks. LOL I have rarely done the Cardio routines just because I use the cardio days to run. It has really helped me lose weight…

I'm right there with ya. I am the only in my family that exercises. Well, my furbaby is so excited after I do my routine because I take him walking. I guess he is my exercise buddy. It would be nice to have someone exercise with me at times, but I view it as my time. When I am outside running or walking, I turn my cell…

Hi @Finding_Dreama I was in the same shape as you. I would exercise and eat but could not seem to lose weight. When I started to honestly log my food in MFP, I saw the problem. LOL There is no telling how many calories I was eating before; such an eye opener. It has been a great experience for me! I wish you the best!

Hey everyone! Feel free to add me as a friend. I welcome all the encouragement and motivation. :smiley:

Zucchini Boats with a side of rice.

I have used mine several times at night while asleep. I turn it on Low and the food cooks fine through the night and is ready in the morning when I wake up. It's nice having the function to switch to Warm after the cooking time..very handy.

I have hungry days too. Of the 7 days last week, I went over my calorie allowance on 3 of them. I felt bad and worried I was losing focus, but I am back on it today. I think we all go through hunger days and it all evens out in the end.

I was so excited when I ordered by Fitbit Charge HR, but then reading all the concerns and complaints I was worried I had made a mistake. Yes, it is good to read some positives about the gadget. I saw that mine was delivered today at home. So, I am interested in trying it, but not as excited as I was a few days ago. :-/

I ordered my Charge HR yesterday. As soon as I get it, I will reply again hopefully soon with my user info. Excited!!!

@kjkiemele -- Hey, I just ordered a Fitbit yesterday. Once I receive it and figure it out LOL, I will be happy to add you as a friend.

Hey @keeponkickin -- I ordered me a Fitbit Charger HR yesterday. I have always worn a chest strap when exercising and wondered too how accurate can an item be wearing it on your wrist. I guess I am not much help right now, but I plan to test the Charger HR against my Polar monitor with chest strap to see how they measure…

Run 2x a week Jillian Michael's Body Revolution Walk my furkid almost every day 30-45 mins each time

I'm at 1340. Feel free to add me.

My goal is 150, but would not mind maintaining around 145. I do not want to go below 140. I did not like the way I looked when I was in my low-140s and in 130s

Hi @ajocec I was sitting here thinking the same thing. I've been logging for about 30 days and losing weight and inches. Here lately I've felt so overwhelmed with life and responsibilities. I was exercising good and then my leg started hurting and I've missed a few days. Then family drama happened and that has thrown me…

Everyone looks so good! What an inspiration to see the before and after pics! So proud of everyone!!

I admire your dedication, and you look amazing. Great job!!

Cheez-Its and potato chips. I can't buy them and have them in the house.

@ashley_barber Hi -- I just saw your recipe for this dressing. I have been trying to find a salad dressing that doesn't kill the calories in a salad. I am trying this tonight. Thank you for sharing!

Looks like I average 1600ish. That average includes eating my 1340 daily allowance plus between 25%-50% of exercised calories. Sorry I don't know the technical names for these calories categories. :)

Feel free to add me as a friend. I enjoy having people around me with the same goal to help motivate and support.

@WeddedBliss1992 If you click on "FOOD" and then "Settings". There you can customize your food page.

This has been my problem too. Thank you for discussing this subject. I love fruit and that is where my sugar affects my sugar allowance. I also switched to honey as my sweetner in coffee. To lessen my sugar intake, I tried to go back to Splenda...I can't. I really like the honey. Thanks everyone for your input. This helps!!

Cough drop. Allergies... :(

Hi @busyPK - I was in an accident about 10 years and broke my Tibia and Fibula in right leg and messed up my L4 and L5 in back. I currently have a titanium rod in my Tibia from knee to ankle; held together with 4 screws. I could still exercise pretty well until a few years ago when I got a stress fracture in right leg…

I would be happy to be friends so we can support and motivate each other. Just send me a request...

I make this quinoa chicken chili a lot http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2013/04/slow-cooker-quinoa-chicken-chili.html As far as chia seeds, all I done is sprinkle them on my yogurt. @Queenmunchy These recipes sound great! Thank you for sharing!

This has been a great discussion. I appreciate the reasonable, sound advice given here. I didn't post any advice, but I have taken a lot from here. Thanks!
