I love Central Oregon, one of my favorite places in the world and try to get there often as possible.

My friends and I just laughed our *kitten*'$ off and it's great fun. Everyone at the restaurant got involved including the waiters and waitresses. We even got comments from the other diners that it was the most fun they ever had having dinner out (of course you will have to make sure that it's a fun festive place that…

You can play this pretty much anywhere, even a Mexican restaurant while you're waiting for the food. Bring lots of tissue paper (the kind you wrap presents with, and rolls of scotch tape), while you're waiting for the food to come you get into teams of 2 or more. Each team pick a person for a model and the other dress her…

Hi, I'm from Vancouver, WA

You should start recording your foods and exercise again. When I don't record I seem to forget the little things that I eat. I find that I gain when I don't record even though "I thought" I ate well. Watch your carb intake, processed carbs are the killer of all, try to stay away from white carbs, such as bread and rice.…

You should definitely keep your body guessing by changing your routine or intensity, but I wouldn't stop working out for 5 days, unless you want to eat much less. You may want to stop for 1 or 2 to let your body recover if you have been continuously working out, but not any more than that. There are times when I would…

Too funny.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What's Pei Wei?

On those weeks that I know I'm going to be short of time I grill chicken breast on Sunday and just slice them thin and refrigerate. Wash some green leaf lettuce and don't cut, leave them whole and wrap them in paper towels before putting them in plastic bag. Slice carrots, celery, cucumber or have some sprouts on hand. Fat…

Hi Banks, I'm sure that shoveling is horrible, especially on your back. I'm not a fan of that...but here in the Pacific NW, Seattle/Portland area, we hardly ever get snow in town, we go to the mountains to enjoy the snow. I think we've had maybe an inch or two all winter in town, but we've had record snow falls in the…

This is my favorite too, and it's exactly what I do with mine. It is so yummy, and I take it to any pot lucks that I go to and everyone loves it. I sometimes mix julienned apples into it and top it with toasted slivered almonds.

Hey Kelly, you should absolutely do it, it was so much fun. I went into caloriesperhour.com and it actually gave me a higher calorie burned than this site, so I took the lower of the two. I'm into intense/insane workouts, and would do it everyday if I could. I'm just sorry to see the warmer weather coming so I won't be…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That's the funniest way to describe snow shoeing that I've ever seen. You are TOO funny. :drinker:

I went snow shoeing today for 3+ hours, we only took one 5 minute break, otherwise we just kept going. The loop was only about 8 miles, but it was tough...the snow was wet and heavy due to being late in the season, and the hills were tough. There were many soft spots where the snow was so soft that I sunk in about a foot…

You can get "Lite" tofu now, I get it at my local grocery store. I basically cube the slab into 12 or so pieces, then spray a pan with Pam and sautee the tofu. Add carrots and onions, and sautee together. Add curry sauce and simmer until the carrots and onions are cooked. Serve over brown rice.

A friend from the office fell out of her SUV last week because her heels got caught in the cuff of her pants. She's all scraped up, her face, shoulder and knee. Be sure to clean your scrapes well, as my friend is now on antibiotics.

Yum!!! Frozen grapes are my favorite.

No cut off time for me. As long as I have calories left and I'm hungry I eat.

:heart: My dogs :heart: Hiking :heart: Snow shoeing :heart: S2000 drives with the boys :heart: Friends :heart: Star gazing with a bottle of wine :heart: Dancing :heart: Hugs & kisses :heart: Sunshine :heart: YOU GUYS !

I love steamed artichokes too, but this sounds wonderful. Can't wait to try.

Hey girlfriend, Just saw your new pic with the little sport top and you look FABULOUS...you, with you waistline and all. Congrats!!! You're really getting some great results. If that isn't motivation...I don't know what is.

Oops...I meant "And be sure NOT to use a straw. Thanks everyone for correcting me, guess I was typing too fast while at work.

After I had my wisdom teeth extracted I ate yogurt, soups and lots of protein shakes. I would put the following into my protein shakes: Protein powder Soy milk Yogurt Fruit such as peaches or bananas (make sure to stay away from strawberries, raspberries and other fruits with little seeds. And be sure to use a straw.

Don't worry so much, if it took you 3 weeks to fall off the wagon you did much better than most of us. And because you are aware of it, you will fall off the wagon less and less, this is the normal cycle. If you think about it and stew on it, it will only make things worse for you, so don't beat yourself up. Just pick up…

People who douse themselves with perfume before working out at the gym. Being the 3rd wheel, 5th wheel, 7th wheel...all the time and if I say I'm not going because it's all couples, they say "It's OK, we don't mind"....well, I mind.

I have done some research on the scales, to get the most accurate body fat percentage, it recommend that you don't drink any liquid for at least 4 to 5 hours and have not exercised for at least 12 hours, so I would think that you would get a more accurate reading first thing in the morning.

Renee - sorry to hear about your computer, let that be a lesson to me. I am VERY bad about backing up my files. Cheryl - you back from your trip??? How was it???

Welcome Denise...good luck to you and remember we're here if you should EVER need us. :flowerforyou:

No bodyfat does not fluctuate like body weight. Fat is just fat, it does not include water or any lean body mass, what you have is what you have until you lose or gain. But there are few methods of measurement that are accurate, most are not. Even with calipers it would depend on the person measuring you, as I have had…

Renee, You have been an inspiration to me from the first time we heard from you. You just keep sharing all that information. You have kept me on track for months now. I read all your posts and appreciates all the funnies that you share with us. As a working girl, I don't ever have time to do the research and look up…
