  • yes they are very very difficult in the beginning, but they do get easier. And once youve got it down, it si much easier to get back into. I got through stage 1 last summer, then took a break and never went back. So I started over a few weeks ago, and was dreading the jackknifes, but they are startng to be fun, and I can…
  • Hey trying to re-purpose left over tomato sauce. Can I use that for some stuffed peppers? I haven't had them since I was a kid. shoudl I cook the rice first then mix it in with the tomato sauce? how much rice?

  • new rules of lifting - its a book & there is a group on here too.
  • 1. you seem very stressed out, calm down, and it will work out. there are lots of resources available. 2. google is your friend for recipes, diet ideas etc. cooking light.com, webmd has recipes nad i think the mayo clinic site does too. 3. livestrong has info on veggies & fruits w/o vitamin K to deal with the blood thinner…

  • lets hope so! 'cause I wasn't hot at 20 or 30, so here's hoping there is hot-ness at 40!
  • depends on the person honestly. I know two people who had it done. One woman I dont think she could have lost the weight any other way she probably had to lose 200-300 pounds and was an older woman 40's or so. It was honestly the best thing for her and she struggled immensely afterwards with all sorts of complications. She…
  • Our groceries for two averages out to about $75 -100 a week for two some weeks more some less depending on what staples we are out of. Food has gotten so expensive! I dont buy alot of processed food - mainly meat and veggies, but not too much of it is organic as I can't justify $6 for one organic pepper. we have a ton of…
  • I'd second what denezy said. I've found i've been most sucessful when I eat more protein / fat than carbs. I seem to feel better when eating about 100 grams of carbs a day. but try and keep them 100-150 a day. I'm not always sucessful at that, but it seems to work better for me.
  • This is kinda where I am right now. I do this at home & I can't add any more weight for my squats because I can't lift it either behind my head or up to my chest.
  • I've made something similar - it's delicious. I've never used the mayo / ranch dressing - I usually use goat cheese, or allouette, rondelle / boursin cheese sausage, peppers and onions. Just using veggies would be good too! ETA: usually serve as an app at the holiday's and it serves many more than 8. I think even if using…
  • yup - feel free to add me!
  • yup - agree with everything said: thought i was fat when I wasn't; told to go on diets for years when I was younger; would kill to look like i did when I thought I was fat, etc etc etc
  • I find eating a larger breakfast, most of which I eat at my desk, keeps me from snacking too much later in the afternoon. drinking lots of water & tea, minty gum - screws up the flavor of other things and then just snack with better choices (fruit, nuts etc).
  • - add one new food a week until you find something you enjoy? - go for a walk?
  • We have one at home. has it helped me or anyone else lose weight? no. do I believe all the science behind the claims of how you digest the nutrients - no I do like it because it is smaller than other blenders & fits on my counter top I do think it grinds / blends things better than other cheaper blenders I've owned. I'm…
  • most depends on length of trip but somethings Ive found helpful bug spray sunscreen mini first aid kit for scrapes and splinters paper towels sweat shirt / warmer clothes for the evenings, even if you are going in august tarps / rope extra socks smores garbage bags (& a few extra for emergency rain ponchos - anytime we go…
  • Talk to him about it, frame it in terms of trying to make new years resolutions in terms of health and financial savings. You can also go grocery shopping with him, and encourage him to buy healthier things. offer to make meals, similar to what he eats out. if he likes taco bell, you can make homemade tacos, quesdillas,…
  • Within moderation - its all probably fine. People seem to lose the forest for the trees. I'll use almond milk in smoothies, because milk tends to bother my stomach, and I save on some calories and can't taste the difference, but use milk in my coffee and use real cheese and greek yogurt. I like the fresher natural PB, if…
  • I just bought one before the holiday's for baking & it makes everything so much easier! slicing onions, shredding cheese, shortbread crust, pie crust. But to be honest, I haven't used it much for everyday cooking, yet. I could see it being helpful, for chopping / dicing veggies for soups, (if you are ok with them not being…
  • whipped cream vodka & vanilla seltzer bourbon and ginger ale scotch and soda malibu rum & pineapple in the summer
  • pinnacle whipped vodka & vanilla seltzer bourbon and diet ginger ale vodka, seltzer & a splash of cranberry juice
  • clementines! in season, and soo tasty!
  • he did the b-day gift thing for me (nothing crazy, just a gift card to body shop), which is why I feel like i need to get him something.
  • this and the bing crosby / david bowie - peace on earth / little drummer boy
  • I like Kind bars too - especially the dark chocolate & sea salt - get your chocolate fix for 5 grams of sugar.
  • slimey lettuce. Especially when you put your hand into a bag / container of spring greens that looks nice and fresh, but when your hand comes out its full of slimey lettuce wrapped around your fingers.
  • I've made this (a martha stewart - tex mex inspired chicken & rice dish, see below) and it comes out pretty good. Freezes well and is filling. can usually get about 6-8 servings out of it. It's a one pot meal, which is nice, but I think it takes longer to cook than the recipe suggests, and needs more water than the recipe…
