Congratulations on the weight loss thus far - you seem to have the nutrition part of weight loss down! As for the exercise part of it, what do you enjoy doing, besides laying on the couch? Do you like to dance? There are plenty of DVD's out there, and videos on youtube also. Do you like structure for your workouts...find a…

Here are two recipes I found - http://www.hungry-girl.com/weighin/show/2305

Two things I like to do for breakfast - oatmeal in a jar, and omelet bites. The oatmeal is the following in a small mason jar - 1/2 cup oatmeal, almond milk, and whatever you else you like - brown sugar, blueberries, cinnamon, agave syrup...in the jar, and ready to go the next morning. For the omelet bites, partially cook…

bumpty-bump! You can never have too many muffin/cupcake recipes!

Hello Patricia and welcome! I'm in Texas too - about to move from Wichita Falls to San Antonio. I've been using MFP for about a year now, and I can tell you it's not just about weight loss, although it can help you do that. And I know what you mean about it being harder when you're in your 40's. I believe in everything in…

Sounds like a great idea!

Bump! :happy:

Bump! :happy:

I like the flavored ones in the pouch too, either straight out of the pouch, or mixed in with a salad. If I get plain tuna I mix it with salsa.

most of the ads do relate to places I've been on the web...but there's always the odd inter-dry banner, or lose belly fat, or a restaurant...every once in a while.

You're lucky - they are all over my page!

bump!

bump! these look like a yummy snack!

I had a registered dietician tell me BMI is BS! They are just numbers and I don't place any importance on them anymore. What's important is how you feel about your body...how your health is...and if you are happy. If you eat right (and in moderation), and move your body, the rest will come.

I did 30 DS in preparation for my vacation earlier this year. Like most people are posting, I didn't lose much weight from it - cardio does that for me. But it did tone me up, make me look tighter over-all, and give me the confidence to wear a bikini! I am recovering from knee surgery right now (8 weeks post-op), but once…

Hate - burpees, jumping jacks, any jumping around (makes me want to pee! :blushing: ) Love - walking, running (once my knee is healed), yoga

Bump - that looks awesome! :love:

This cracks me up and makes me sad all at the same time...had I seen it two days earlier, I could have saved myself the ten bucks! My TV crap is on the way! This is such a great idea, and I feel silly that I didn't see it in my own kitchen, as I make cupcakes/muffins at least once a week...Nevertheless, how about some…

The avocado was really good, with the mango and banana! :wink: Tonight I'm going to try banana, blueberries, and chocolate chips! :love:

It's just frozen fruit. What you get is something that has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, without the dairy or sugar added to it. I love it!

Ok, here's my newest concoction. Banana, pineapple, and mango run through the yonanas. Then, the "ice cream" and coconut tequila run through the magic bullet - tropical paradise in a cup! :drinker:

Bump!

I just heard of this today, but it sounds awesome. I ordered mine off of amazon.com today, and it will be here tomorrow. I already have cut up bananas, mango, pineapple, strawberries, and blueberries in the freezer. I heard of it because I came across an article about avocado ice cream - I will be trying it tomorrow, as I…

^This!!!^ I love spin because there's loud music and I can totally focus on the workout...except when there are a couple of chatty cathies who want to have their own little gossip session during the workout. Drives me nuts!!! If you can talk, you aren't working hard enough!

Why are people so quick to judge? I say good on her - PD is losing weight and seems to be trying to be healthier. Why cut her down for still smoking, knowing she had diabetes for the last XX years, she's not really a size XX, she wears spanx, whatever...she's human just like the rest of us, and we all struggle. I say…

I only drink soda with hard liquor...!

I do the same thing! Normally I don't feel good unless I have at least 900 calories left. I do that because my husband makes dinner, and I love his cooking and want to be able to eat! Also, I like to have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner and not worry about busting my calories.

So agree with first thing in the morning, and getting it out of the way. People think I'm crazy for getting up at 0400 to hit the gym, but most days work gets crazy and I have no other time. I tried lunch time, and it was too inconvenient and time-consuming. By the time I get done with work, I am too exhausted to even look…

Good job - you go Girl!
