We run a sausage cart, I have a lot of extra sausage. I am going to give this a try! Thanks!:drinker:

Deanna, we have been MFP friends for the last year! I have always found you to be so energetic, positive and impressively diligent and committed in fact some times you reminded me of some sort of energy bunny. It is the first time that I took a look at your home site and wow! Congrats on your progress. You started out…

bump:drinker:

If you interval that with some cardio you could enter under boot camp. My boot camp classes combine both weight and cardio so maybe that is an option for you in terms of logging!:drinker:

I excercise so that I can eat. I know that I have to change but it si very difficult for me. I love food, I love everything about it! so I am in the same boat!:drinker:

Congrats on the run. It is truly one of the greatest ways to burn calories quickly. The saliva thing is one of the annoying things that happens when you run! Great runners are also great spitters. ( I have only heard this as I am a lady and refuse to spit). There is a great programme that is down loadable called the c25k.…

All the above plus try to jog on soft surfaces. The side of the road instead of the road and on soft grass. Icing the front of the shins as well can help with the pain. :drinker:

Isn't it funny that we all have our chocolate survival tips! One of the ways that I try to get through the need for something decadent is I :drinker: melt pb in the micro and dip apples into it. It's warm and gooey and more of a treat than straight up pb. In the end it is also a good kick to the protein and fruit…

How lovely that you and your sister can support each other. Congrats! MFP is a very good tool and it will be fun to log with someone that you know outside of this social network. Best of luck and if you want to add me as a freind feel free!:drinker:

Great job and congrats on being so open about your journey!:drinker:

Great mission statement!!! Rock on!:drinker:

Yummy!!!:drinker:

Rice dream is creamier. You should be able to find it anywhere health food is sold! Even in most grocers now.:drinker:

My dear friend always tells me that she is just one stomach flu away from her ideal body weight. :drinker:

sounds yummy!!!!:drinker:

Welcome!!!! You will love this site! That being said just like the last ten seconds of a grueling excercise are the hardest the last ten pounds are the most stubborn! ( Although lots will be envious of your effort and accomplishment thus far! )You will find great friends, excellent support and helpful advice,…

So happy for you! You look full of joy and also should be yeah you!!!!!:drinker:

The most effective way to change is by role modeling and ofcourse gentle persuasion. So it is your success as well. You managed to help somone do something good for:drinker: themselves without ever feeling bad about themselves. That is a gift!

Thanks, I love shape magazine. I wonder though if the same deal works in Canada? I' ll check it out!:drinker:

I bet you that your family is more than proud and would describe you with every colour of the rainbow. Draw on all of the power you have as a colourful, strong, deep WOMAN and you will be successful! Moms can do it all!!!!!:drinker:

Each of us have our own tools that work. Obviously you have found some great tools that work well for you. Congrats on the great results. The good thing about not using all of the tools available to you is the knowlege that they are still there if you need them. As long as the cutting out of the logs does not represent…

What a lovely moment!!!! :drinker:

Wow that was powerful and I am copying that to post on my fridge. Thanks!!!:drinker:

There is a homeopathic remedy that I am sure that is on the internet somewhere and very reliable sources say it works like a charm. It involves soaking cotton socks in tepid water and putting them on your feet at bed time. I know it sounds dreadful but I saw it mentioned on a very reputable show and then it was…

Thank you for each of your stories. What a great topic Deanna. As I read through each of your recounts sometimes I cried, laughed and in all cases empathized. Three things struck me. 1) The only thing that is more constant than change is a human beings acceptance of it! 2) That probably most people do not really understand…

I put plain yogourt and walnuts with brown sugar or maple syrup (just a little). :drinker: My favourite oatmeal is the stone cut that you can buy in the organic section or organic maple nut instant oatmeal.

Sounds filling and yummy!:drinker:

I am in!!!!:drinker:

I am always so impressed when women are daring and honest enough to show their progress so visibly! Good for you. I had twins by c-section. I too will be continuing the battle to lost that little pooch. It is very unattractive. I would not be able to rock my pooch like you did yours in your first pictures. However you have…

Sounds good and satisfying. Looking forward to trying it out!:drinker:
