Getting tired of my cooking which I hate. Hearing my husband complain he is tired of chicken. Watching my husband get fast food because he is tired of my cooking. Having my husband always shove his sugary drinks in my face and tell me I have to try it. Exercising within the limits of my health issues without feeling like a…

You did an amazing job!!! You will look so beautiful for your wedding!!!!

This isn't a usual thing. So I wouldn't quit just yet. All websites have to do maintenance, it is the only way to add new features or fix issues. Maybe check later and see if those days are still missing and if they are you might want to report that so they can fix it.

Make some pulled bbq chicken. I use plain head country bbq. Just put your chicken in and the bbq sauce, onions optional and cook on low for 8 hours. It is so good.

I only drink water. But you could try an occasional 8oz sweet tea. Usually that is about 70 calories. Fresca has zero calories but I can't have carbonated beverages. You could also make yourself herbal tea. If you had just one packet of sugar that is only 15 calories.

I like to buy a big bag of frozen chicken at walmart. They now have a 10lb bag. That can last a while for just two people. You can also buy a big bag of tilapia frozen as well. Then just make chicken or tilapia with some veggies. Then of course some and potatoes. Some romaine lettuce and make some chicken caeser salads.…

I have gained and lost weight a few times. I started out with almost no boobs. Gained weight and actually had boobs. Lost weight and they got smaller but not as small before. Gained weight and got even bigger than the time before and when I lost weight again they didn't get as small. So I think mine will be okayish when I…

I have the Charge HR 2. I love it. I think it is fairly accurate. I still eat the same amount of calories as I did before. I don't increase it for the extra steps. I only do if I do some sort of actual work out or long walk. But the calorie burn for walks seems consistent with other methods of tracking it.

I didn't use to work out but was super active. I walked or biked to work, because I had to. And for fun I would go hiking. But then I moved and needed a car to get to work and lost my mountains. So I became so lazy compared to how I was before. Now that I am getting active again I feel happier and better and I crave it…

Of course!

If you like AC/DC and such you would probably like a band called Airbourne. They only started in 2003 but they have the same sound.

You can never have too many friends.

There are tons of work out videos. Also if you can afford a used wii there is EA Sports Active 2. It is fun because it like doing all the work out videos but it is a program so you aren't doing the same thing over and is easy to follow and makes it fun seeing your personal results. It comes with a resistance band but you…

I guess that is part of why I don't socialize much at work! HAHA For me work sucks because there is always free food and people pressure you when you say no. They are like, "One won't kill you." Also for the first time I have co-workers who I can get lunch with but I don't want to go out and eat over, so I don't. :( And it…

I know how that goes. I use to be super active. I hiked, biked, and walked. I didn't even drive to work. Then I moved to Oklahoma and it is much harder to do that. Unless you live in a big city, you can't walk or bike anywhere. So I slowly became less active but still had a physically demanding job. Then I started having…

I understand how you feel. I finally got serious last year about losing weight when my husband proposed, I was 180lbs. I was kind of sad he couldn't have proposed back when I was like 140 or even 150. LOL I lost 14lbs before my wedding in August of last year. I was so proud. But I lost motivation after that as I got sick…

Honestly, I don't like meal replacement shakes because they aren't something that is sustainable indefinably. I think it is better to learn what foods to eat and what portions to eat because it is something that will help you long after you have lost weight.

I didn't get the pat last night! My husband stole the last bite of my roast! :(

Banana greek yogurt mmmmm

HAHAHAHA! It's funny too because she needs my husband's attention the most. Her and her sister were both bottle fed so they are really needy. My husband wanted to keep her and I wanted to keep her sister, Finn. We ended up keeping both and Marceline is pure evil and Finn is a sweet, innocent kitty who just likes love. I…

Awww she might. My oldest cat use to just zip throw the house and climb up walls and doors. And I came home once and she was nicely removing my wallpaper for me. And then she calmed down and now she is old so she is the most boring cat ever. She just lays alone in her bedroom on her bed and once in a while comes out and…

That is awesome! Health and good doctor visits is my main focus too. I want to get my blood pressure down, I do not like being on medications. I use to be so much healthier before I moved to Oklahoma. In Colorado I didn't even have a car. I biked or walked everywhere. On days off I went for hikes. Here I can't survive…

I don't have GERD but I have a hiatal hernia which causes heart burn. I just eat really bland meals. Like baked chicken and veggies. If recipes call for lots of different spices I usually don't use them. I use just a few spices. I stay away from tomato sauce and spicy foods. Everyone is different for what triggers them…

Yes. Which is why I have to use it in the bathroom with the door closed. I have 4 cats and they have to be into everything I am doing. Working out is so annoying sometimes. Marceline is the worst. I am constantly accidentally kicking her while working out. Last night I was doing exercises on the floor and she was playing…

Because of health issues going down in weight is hard. And even if I'm losing, I have water retention and bloating from these issues which makes it difficult to get accurate weight readings. I am trying to not make weight my priority this time so much as my health and feeling better and dealing with my health issues and…

I got myself a fitbit and it helps me get more steps. It reminds me to get up and move every hour and I listen. I also log everything I am eating for the day first thing in the morning. If it isn't log, it does not go into my mouth. I take walks at lunch if I can, I go to the bathroom on the floor below me. I only use…

Yes. I have stomach issues and high blood pressure. So I swell and bloat a lot which makes it hard to even get accurate weight. The doctor is also checking my thyroid to see if that my be contributing to some of my problems. So that will be interesting to find out. I don't want it to be but at this point I just want an…

I wasn't took shocked. I didn't eat much either but I knew I put away a lot of calories because I like junk food when I'm stressed and I like stuff I don't have to cook. My biggest addiction is chicken strips. :( Going to grilled and baked chicken is just bleh to me. Makes me so sad.

I feel you. It is hard. I am trying to eat more greek yogurt. It is hard for me because of my stomach I can't do protein shakes or bars, eggs, or a lot of dairy either. I eat chicken mostly but I get so bored of it and have never ate a lot of meat. I was always more into veggies and sides. So I feel like a little kid every…

There was a time I could do that. I didn't even eat that much to begin with. So if I wanted to lose weight I just had to cut out the extra stuff like soda and candy. I walked all day for work and cleaned and did yard work. So I didn't have to try. Now I'm older, have heath issues, and eat a lot more food, and have a desk…
