I exercise 4-5 days a week. Most days it is a walk/jog but some days I do mix it up with the 30DS or other forms of cardio. I also do crunches, leg raises, squats, and push-ups on a daily basis (even when no cardio) to work those muscles as well. My diary is open. feel free to go and take a look and see if you notice…

I started increasing water before I even started dieting. I drink NO LESS than six bottles (16.9 ozs) of water a day, and have made it all the way through 8 bottles. I also am super gassy. Even letting her rip while walking down the grocery store aisles cause I don't see it coming. My husband has pointed out how gassy I…

NOT TRUE!!! My 4 year old was tested via blood and scope for Celiac as she showed all signs and more. Both tests were negative. After 3 hospitalizations by the age of 3, testing for everything under the sun, and almost losing her they finally sent her to an allergist. He did food allergy tests (we already knew about an…

Since I workout in the early morning before work and breakfast I am apt to down a shake before I workout to give some protein and a lil strength for my workout. It works good in that sense.

I weighed, but forgot to log it as i was running late this morn due to circumstances beyond my control. I forgot what the weight was to put it down tonight, so will reweight tomorrow and log it

I'd like to forget and redo this entire week! Between running out of my protein shakes, falling on my bad knee and spraining it which resulted in not being aloowed to workout for 4 days, 3 snow days this week thta has kept me cooped inside, and time of month coming so I wanted to eat everything in sight....yea, dreading…

:Love this! So needed it this week!

My biggest is that I ahve not only been pop free for 3 weeks now But I have no desire for it! Also that I dnt tire as easy and the last 2 days i was puling up my pants throughout the day!

I had a REALLY, REALLY bad week. Lots of stress and an emotional roller coaster. I went 2 days without food, 1 day eating fairly normal, and a day eating everything my hands could grab. Bad, I know. Exercise was a hit and miss as i literally got to the point last week where I didnt care and this was NOT on my mind. It'll…

my fav is old fashioned roast. You simply cnt go wrong! Roast (trim the fat) carrots onions potatoes celery tomatoes brown gravy mix water Let cook for 4-5 hours and enjoy the savory, tender, awesomness!

I'll send you a request. Since I take my lunch to work daily and I work 2 jobs so nights I go staight from one to the other my dinners can get to be the same...but other than that I try to add variety! :-)

Will post the pic later.

Honestly my meal plan is a fly by the seat of my pants type deal. Breakfast and lunch I plan. Breakfast I alternate between cereal and bagels before I head in to work. Weekends since I have more time I do oatmeal or eggs. IF I have time after my workout on weekdays I will do oatmeal, but usually don't. Lunch I always pack…

I may not have time to respond to each post, and I may not see each post the day they are posted, but I do LOVE reading each post made. Gives a sense of hope and encouragement :-)

no idea how to post pics. Not even real sure how I managed the profile pic as it was jsut on there. LOL

My scale is not working and it will bee the weekend before I can get a new one so todays weight my not bee accurate. I will post the weight I was before my scale died. (I had weighed Tues perviously cause thats when I started my diet and so it was my 1 week mark)

My goal is to work better on the exercise and not skimp out and make excuses. Sure I have a bummed knee, but i am not going to let that hold me back. often times i use my knee as an excuse and I need to quit. Using my knee is the best way to get back to 100% and sometimes I allow the knee to hold me back.

I'm going to work on the weigh-in for Monday. I MAY be a day or two late cause my scale broke and is inaccurate right now. I tested with my youngest to be sure and it is off. I cnt even find a coorelation in amount off to add/subtract the difference. Hubs said we will get a new one, but it has to wait til his payday. Best…

I'm cutting out my weekly Dr. Pepper (Friday treat) and my morning coffee so that I am not ingesting creamers and artificial sweeteners. My goal is water only...today I had 3 liters and none had crystal light in them!

My diet plan is always based on income and schedules. Between working two jobs and both my kids I never really plan in advance what tom have! Thankfully my husband does the cooking since I'm the one with 2 jobs, but often times i have no idea whats for dinner. Lunches are the same: meat and cheese sandwich, string cheese,…

oops...guess I dnt know how to copy a quote and respond on the same line. Sorry... Anyways, I've heard of the "Walk Away the Pounds" but have never seen or used it. Is it literally a DVD of walking? Like, how is it different than normal walking?

Oh, my 1st job is as a 1st grade teacher. This is my 2nd year and OI love it:-) Even the hour commute and 5am wake-up calls ( I leave by 545 Am) is worth it. My 2nd job is as a cashier at a local grocery store. My husband and I will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary on Jan 5th 2014 :-) He works in media at a local…

Hello! My name is Rachael and I live in central Oklahoma. Last year I had lost 14 lbs before sustaining a work injury that forced a surgery and 3 mos off. I gained back everything lost and then some. I am now back at work (BOTH jobs..yes, I have 2) and ready to go full force in changing myself for the better. I actually…

I'm game. My personal trainer has me doing 15 minutes of the stationary bike at the gym 2 days a week anyways. I';m going to challenge that by trying to go a lil longer each time. Today I managed 2 miles in my 15 minutes

my dghtr has Celiac so is Gluten free and let me just say....it SOUNDS healthier (and in a way it is as she is forced not to even eat gravy's and certain chips as the gravy and seasonings contain gluten) however, the stuff they add to her foods are actually higher in calories. So in the end she eats more calories. I see…

I don't do Slim-Fast. I will, occasionally grrab a Special K preotein shake and drink it before a workout--esp my early mornings workouts that happen before breakfast., But even then I ALWAYS shower and grab a proper meal after that

I had not realized chewing gum burnt that many calories. I thought maybe 5. LOL. Looks like I finally have a good addiction!!

Freaking genious idea!!! Better thasn saying you will reward yourself after losing X pounds because with this is standing there each day as a visual and you arent going to change your goal for the reward. LOVE THIS IDEA!! Your wifes a flippin genious!! Totally can not wait for a pic of you reaching the goal and opening the…

I had a break yesterday. And one last week. Actually I think I may alternate--JM ine day (this) and the next day the gym. Adds varity and gives a break to help. Sundays I dnt workout at all unless its a walk around the neighborhood
