So I'm not really following a low carb diet, or really any diet, but since discovering I have some autoimmune issues last year and reading a few books on the subject I stopped eating gluten and processed sugar in January. Ideally I'd quit dairy too, but seriously, something's gotta give, and if I can't have regular bread,…

I made stuffed pepper soup with brown rice last night, and we had the leftovers again tonight.

My scale surprised me today after the plateau I've had the last few weeks. I'll weigh in tomorrow and hope it wasn't a fluke.

Definitely focus on healing right now so you can get back to doing what you love. I know wearing a boot is miserable because my husband tore his Achilles last year and had to wear one for months, including while he slept. He would wake up every morning and tell me how awful it was and how I had no idea what it was like to…

@amirahdaboss Whoa!! That looks awful! Hopefully you aren't super injured, but I'll bet you'll be super sore for the next week or so.

Gonna try this again. Hopefully I can get out of the 150s. April start wt: April Goal wt: April 1: April 8: April 15: April 22: April 29:

I have the older version of NROLFW and was doing that, but my 17 year old son started lifting with me and we tried StrongLifts because of the ease of the app. We did that until the squats got too heavy to do at home without a rack. I don't want to join a gym right now with all the equipment I already have at home and while…

This scares me to no end. I've almost been hit so many times, but now I have teenage sons who are learning to drive and I'm terrified they might hit pedestrians. A few years ago a bicyclist was hit and killed nearby, and the person who hit him, I think it was a teenager, didn't even stop. I don't know the whole story, but…

I've heard mixed reviews about these. They're already pretty pricey to begin with, so I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if they weren't working! Our water heater has gone out 3 times in the 8 years we've lived here. Even though the water heaters are usually under warranty, we've still had to pay for the labor to…

I guess that can be expected after having a really good month last month, but it’s still frustrating since I really upped my activity. March…

I love this reason, even though it reminds me that we had a scale like this while I was growing up and my parents put it in the basement next to my sister’s and my bedrooms. No wonder I still have weight issues.

I actually got a Sam's Club membership earlier this month specifically because I saw the Premier Protein shakes were on sale there, and they weren't at Costco. They basically had a rebate for the membership cost so it ended up being free. My husband had oral surgery recently and we convinced him to try the shakes when he…

We're not big ice cream eaters here, thankfully, but I have all of my teenage son's friends here constantly and this machine would totally add to the mess and chaos. No thank you! It's already bad enough with drinks and pizza boxes and snack wrappers. I guess if it was your personal machine and you know it was cleaned…

Also 5'2" here. I've lost almost 20 lbs., which in the past hasn't made a huge difference in how I look, but this time I incorporated lifting heavy weights and it seems to be making a bigger difference. I'm down 2 jean sizes, which in the past took closer to a 40 lb. loss, and even then my boss at the time didn't even…

For years my labrador and I ran together, but she's 12 now and prefers short, slow walks. One time this huge unleashed dog ran over and joined in on our neighborhood run. I kept looking around for his owner and figured he would eventually get bored and head home, but he didn't. He ran along with us for 4 freaking miles.…

What? Am I the only person who drinks Premier Protein from Costco? The caramel are really good, but not always available. I buy them when they're on sale because they're expensive, but worth it when I need to grab something quick.

This reminded me of a story my dad told me about an elderly couple in his neighborhood. The couple went to a doctor's appointment and mentioned it was getting harder to get around and they wondered if they could please get a disabled parking pass. The doctor told them absolutely not because if anything, he wanted them to…

That when you go shopping and things actually look good on you, you'll question if the store has 'skinny mirrors'.

Me too! And I still come out sometimes to find someone parked right next to me despite the empty parking lot. Why????!!!
