Skin Brushing ... go research it for yourself

In our house we call it "The School Of Hard Knocks". We are the parents and make the rules but from time to time our kids want to fight our rules well as loving parents we can allow and afford our kids a minor "hard lesson learned". I am sure your kid will not be scared for life if forced to miss recess. My suspicions are…

The Day After Tomorrow Transformers

If a thong is uncomfortable , you have the wrong size or put them on wrong. I find the string is more comfortable than the T-bar. The regular underwear makes me want to scream ... panty lines & wedgies , NO THANKS.

Plan for your cheats. Workout on the days you cheat. Enjoy your cheats just make wise decisions so you do not have negative results.

I wake at 5am to get in my workout before my 4 kids & husband can interrupt my P90X workouts. CRAZY you say ... not at all ! I have energy to truck through my busy day ... I do not spend my day trying to strategically plan to ensure I get in my workout ... and some days I get in an extra workout.

How do you track your juicing calories ? I have several books I use for juicing ... I also like smoothies (The Smoothies Bible) My favorite juices are .... # 1 Kale Celery Cucumber Granny Smith Apple lime (peel off) # 2 Carrot Beet Granny Smith Apple Ginger (this might make your urine have a pink tinge) Ginger

Favorite juice # 1 Kale Celery Cucumber Granny Smith Apple Ginger Favorite juice # 2 Carrot Beet Granny Smith Apple Ginger (sometimes it makes urine look pink)

I set my alarm to calm music not the typical screaming alarm clock. The wake up is the biggest battle. I feel great after my morning work outs ... it gives me energy for my whole busy day. I also try to fit in other workouts later in the day ... but my AM is a must.

Dear Annoying ~ I am hear to workout and improve myself not to look at your nor date you Sincerely The Red head you like to call "Red"

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SABOTAGERS

Keep going til your are in your BMI zone ... if you plan on living a long life you can not do it very well carrying around extra weight

Wow ... your post is so real Your physical health is priority ! You must love yourself first ... be kind to you. Friends will come in time and since it sounds like you will be making new friends be wise in your decision pick the people who you would like to see yourself more like. My personal pick in friends is diverse and…

In the research I have done I found Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is best to use in cooking/baking and Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best in baking/broiling & dressings. E V Coconut Oil is a natural anti fungal / antimicrobial / anti Yeast. The fat is burned as fuel not absorbed as fat like a butter or processed oil. Here is a link…

WhooHoo ! Good job !

I wish I had access to a cold pool ... it really keeps the aches away

I save calories for a beer or a glass of wine ... a night of drinking NO WAY ... I want to be thin more than a night of social drinking. But if you do plan to drink alternate a glass water per drink. Be sure to eat wisely 3 days prior & 3 days after (strictly nutrient dense foods).

I joined MFP 13 days ago ... I have lost 5lbs. I wake every morning and workout (P90X). I eat wisely. I do not go over my survival calories and use my workout calories burned as a bonus. I also go to a gym and do the stairmaster , Spin or Yoga ... I do this 2-5 times a week. I wait to log in my exercise in the evening so I…

I am just stressed :~/ I think I will have a cortisol test to see if that contributes to my weight issues. I never had a weight problem til the death of my Mother , then a car accident and now more recently my MIL has cancer. With each episode I had a weight gain. Exercise keeps the stress somewhat manageable. Now that I…

The first week I joined I weighed in the day I opened my profile , I did not weigh again for a whole week (I usually weigh every day) then when I weighed a week later I had only lost 1lb ... I have since gone back to weighing everyday ... if I have a loss I put it in if no loss I do not track. I find I need to hit the…

I do not have to be gluten free but I like using my calories for food found in nature. Usually my gluten is found in a special treat/cheat. I get tired of hearing "eat whole grains" to help with weightloss ... really I am fine without them.

Mango Avocado Red Onion Tomato Cilantro Cut in large chunks mix & eat ... if I have lime on hand I squeeze it on there ... total YUMmmmmmm !

150 is my goal 154 is the highest our BMI will accept as healthy and since I plan to LIVE to 97 I really need to follow BMI

I drink socially occasionally ... for the next day or two I notice I am not hydrated well and my performance & endurance is low in my workouts. I do get through it because I am determined to workout even more after that kind of cheat. As far as calories ... you may be staying with in your calories but you are not properly…

Great comment darlilama ! I needed to read this even if it was not intended for me

That has been my problem all along ... I am way to active to eat just 1200. MFP wants me to eat 2100 calories today. I am following the plan but I cringe at the thought of eating that much. It was only 1700 but then I typed in my work outs for today. I am not much for eating any more today so I will juice some carrots ,…

I have 50lbs to loose with very little support. I am faced with comments like "You look great , why bother?" , "You look great to be a Mom of 4." , "BMI , Smh , who cares about that , it is not about #s it's about how you feel & look." ... I find more sabotagers than supporters. It is my guess I am not alone. It is like a…

philm00x , My husband & I were getting great results earlier this year. As soon as he got home from work we would do P90x every night. We stopped because of a sick family member. Family comes first. It has been difficult getting back on track. I found it hard to be consistent until now ... I wake at 5am every morning to…

Thanks everyone for your input. Andison ... great article ... this helps. eak924 ... P90x2 ? Exciting :happy:
