Roasted!!

I also make my from brewed tea and splenda. Now my family likes it too........or is it because thats all they get? LOL - no it is really good. The new equal brand is just as good as splenda also.

If you get it somewhere you can trust go for used. I just bought a new elliptical and I love it. I won my treadmill so it is new also. I did buy a used treadmill a few years ago and probably would not do that again.

love it.

i found a great one online at jcpenneys. it is the best one I have found for us that have been more blessed.

water exercise is very easy on the joints and is a real workout. I have hip problems also and even with the left lifts etc it has never been an issue.

Or even if you have an ipod touch you can download it. I used it when on vacation when I was away from the internet.

I have found that the Shape ups hurt my hip. They are very comfy. I just gave mine away to my workout buddy. I do have the shape-up flip flops and I love them. Most comfy flip flops I have ever worn.

Breastfeeding is great for baby and Mom. I breasfed but I have type 2 diabetes. So I think it very much depends on the person and their genetic history.

Good job not turning to food. That is hard though for me. When I am stressed or down i just want to eat. Good Job!!!! Hope 4 comes fast for you :smile:

I am also in surgical memopause. I asked my doctor if any of my meds were hindering my weight loss and she told me my hormone replacement therapy. So I tried to go off it and that lasted a week. I am losing inches from working out and watching my calorie intake but not losing much weight!!

Also my doctor told me to replace my workout shoes every 6 months.

I agree. From the state that is about to melt away. Boy is it hot in Texas today! Welcome. This sight is awesome.

Thank you. Thats great info.

Welcome. You can do it!!! You will get lots of support from this sight. Feel free to add me as a friend.

This is so true if you have hip problems. It took me a while to find out that it was the tone-up's causing the hip problem. They are comfy and the sandals are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever worn.

I also suffer from knee pain at times and I have found the treadmill is better for me. Also you might try aqua bootcamp. Less strain on the knee.

Thats a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

83 lbs that is awesome. I am also lucky that I have a supportive hubby that will even go to gym with me. Yea, for the spouses that support our lifestyle changes.

I buy my turkey burger already in patties by Jennie O - so good. Yummy

Holly you can get all the support you need here. Feel free to add me. You have done an awesome job. What an inspiration!!!

Welcome from a fellow Texan!! My kids are spaced also. My oldest 27 and my youngest 14. you can get back going in the right direction. Good luck

I have not lost much weight either. Been working out about the same amount of time as you have but I have lost inches and am toning up. Don't give up!!!

I so understand this. I have not lost that many pounds but I have noticed and also some of my friends that my body is shrinking.

I have had the same problem. The scales don't tell the whole story though,. Are you clothes fitting looser? That is happening to me. Plus I have had several people tell me that they can tell. So maybe you are losing inches and not pounds. I have had a week where I just wanted to give up. But thanks to my friends at work,…

Diabetes is so much more than just how much sugar you have :(. And you are right anyone can get it at any size. But you are already ahead of the game because you know to be on the look out. keeping your weight down is good. I wished i had taken that adivse after I had my last child.

My doctor advised me to get 90 grams of protein. You can change the settings on your MFP.

My trick is I like to brush and floss after I have finshed eating my calories for the day.

Good luck. Fresh starts are always wonderful.

Target does have sports bras but I was unable to find one in my size. I found one at Jc Penny's.com for us "blessed" ladies. i also bought an armband for my ipod touch today at walmart. I have very sensitve skin also and it did not bother me.
