Try adding vegetables to smoothies. I always add a huge handful of baby spinach or frozen spinach to all of my smoothies regardless of what flavour I am making and you can't taste it at all. One I make for a treat is bananas, vanilla or plain yogurt, a tiny bit of peppermint extract and about 1/8-1/4 tsp cocoa along with…

I fit little bits in whenever I get a minute. Using my little guy in place of weights or a medicine ball - makes for a great workout!

Garbage: I am already on week three of no pop! yahoo! This week's goal is no more chips. Ugh! Moving: Goal is to work out at least 5 days for an hour each. Inspiration: "Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time." Mark Twain "Never, never, never, never give up."…

I'm in! My ultimate goal is to lose 45 pounds by September 1st. I need a challenge - it makes me hold myself accountable to someone other than myself and that's what I need.

Hi Everyone, I'm a 30 year old mom of two. But like many of you, my husband is who really makes things difficult! I want us all to eat healthier and be more active and he says he wants to as well but doesn't even try to stick with it. I get it, his schedule is crazy. He works in a pub and doesn't get home until 2,…

Hi Everyone, count me in! I am a mom of two - a 5 year old girl and 1 1/2 year old son. My current weight is 175, my goal for April is to be below 170, a number I will never see again! My ultimate goal weight is around 130, I don't think I have seen that since before high school. I have been a yo-yo on the scale over the…

I find I have a lot of "me time". I have been blessed with two very good sleepers. My almost 4 year old has slept through the night since she was born (7:30pm-9am) and my son who is almost 4 months has been sleeping through the night for about 2 months now and prior to that was only getting up once around 5:30am and going…

My daughter (who will be 4 next month) says the funniest things all the time. Here are a few examples: This summer she started getting excited every time she saw a Canada flag (which is weird in itself because we see them all the time) so she started pointing and going "Canada Flag...duh duh duh" and then stating which…

I don't think any scales (other than the ones at the doctor's office) are accurate, but as long as you consistently use the same scale you'll know how you are doing in relation to the last time you weighed yourself.

Like many of you, I find the MFP sugar levels to be low. I don't worry about my levels too much as I know I am careful with what I eat and I am not too far off. As for what I like about my body...(thanks for making us all think about this because it's probably not something we think of enough) 1. My nose - it is really…

I find my husband and family are generally supportive. I don't find I really need someone watching over my shoulder or complimenting me to keep me going. I am doing this for myslef and find that I have more self motivation than I thought. While my family is supportive, they are also a bit clueless at times. My grandmother…

I am a mom to two wonderful kids; an almost four year old girl who just started school this year and a 2 1/2 month old boy. A little over a year ago I decided I wanted to be more active. I have struggled with my weight almost my whole life so I decided I was ready to change that. My daughter is very active - she is in…

Hi! I am new to this site as well. I am also not a huge fan of exercise in general. I found the best thing for me was to find something that I enjoy doing that doesn't feel like "working out". I started cardio-kickboxing a year ago and love it! My daughter does karate in the same building at the same time as the kickboxing…
