Consecutive days of bad eating ignites my gastritis, but seeing I do not do that anymore, I have not had problems with it for a while. Unfortunately for me, sometimes stress does it to me. Haven't had a bad flare up since 2010 right before my husband deployed (stress)!!!

OK!! I am hooking back up with an old buddy...my Striiv. Tomorrow is the 1st day back to school and I need to get back into my old routines. I lost almost 10 pounds on Summer Break, but was not very diligent with my Striiv. My school year goal is to never go to bed with under 10, 000 steps!! Wish me luck!!

I was thinking about that the other day!! I would love to advertise how I have been able to lose weight!! I already have a Zumba shirt, now I need a MFP one!!

Easier for me to work out during the school year because my daughter can attend Afterschool Club while I work out. None of the gyms here have daycare, so it is hard for me to get my Zumba on! Also, she is involved in sooooo much I can' t get to the night classes (when hubby is home). I should stop complaining though, at…

I feel exactly the same!!! And I do not get enough water at home... more likely to grab a diet Pepsi!!! LOVE having summers off, but the control freak in me likes the schedule during the school year!! Are you on the Teachers Take Charge group? There was a big discussion about this in the beginning of the summer. I thought…

Sometimes when you are new to working out, water retention is needed to cushion the joints and muscles until your body is used to all the jostling and everything....at least that's what I have been told bu others in the past. Your body will release the extra water when it is not needed anymore...good luck!

Make sure the paperwork is written up correctly!! I have a friend who was denied a breast reduction recently and she cannot re-apply for a set amount of months. The doctor she saw wrote up that she needed the reduction due to migraines, shoulder pain, back pain, neck pain, and emotional...something must not have been…

The only time I had headaches were on the days when I ONLY ate fruit..and I was super tired!! I think it was sugar spike, then a low...watch your blood sugar.

I pinned a cool poster from Pinterest called "When You are Craving This...You are Missing That". The website is : http://healthwellness808.com/?p=1180, just scroll down to see what I am talking about. Maybe this will help for you cravings. As for motivation, I personally wish they had that in pill form. I am a BIG…

There are tons of military spouses on here!! And quite a few groups also!! Army here...HOOAH!!

Awesome work!!! I am glad that this time you posted your pic with a nice smile that shows how proud you are of yourself!! Keep up the hard work and you will get to your goal in no time!!!

My latest NSV was Tuesday when I FINALLY moved out of the Obese BMI category...now to work on getting out of the Overweight category!!!:flowerforyou:

Happy to have you join us!! I think I should get my husband one so we can do the competitions!!

I just got it at the commissary on Fort Riley...haven't tried it yet, but because so many people on here were talking about it I had to buy it!!! Price didn't seem that bad...

A friend of mine just told me about this site. You put in your height and weight and it lets you look at pics of people at or around that size. Hope it helps!!! http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html

This list is from someone's post when I first started....I love looking at it and making comparisons!!! So… What Did You Lose?? 1 lb. = a Guinea Pig 1.5 lbs. = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts 2 lb. = a rack of baby back ribs 3 pounds = an average human brain 4 pounds = an ostrich egg 5 pounds = a Chihuahua 8 pounds = a…

I bought Turtle Island a couple of days ago...now I am saving for some Grandmother Trees!!

I believe so...it would be cool if you could buy a few... One nice thing about Striiv, is that they understand that if people are moving and playing MyLand and doing challenges, they need to keep updating their product. A month or so ago, they did a huge update and added a lot of things!! I bet they will add animals or…

Check on Pinterest...they have everything!!!

Making mini-goals is the best way to go!! Great job hitting your first one!! Keep up the good work!!

I will ask one of the others that has been using her Striiv longer....I only log actual workouts (Zumba, running, walks, Wii....) and not the daily walking...

Saving for Turtle Island....need a little over a million....

Trying the Lean Shake 25 in the bottle (just got enough for 8 days) and hoping to boost myself out of this plateau...starting tomorrow and doing it for breakfast and lunch with a sensible dinner. Hope I didn't pay extra for JUST a fancy name-brand Slimfast...

You better get on here right away tomorrow so we know how well you did!!!! Keep up the good work!!

Awesome job on the BMI!!! Great pictures!

I have not gotten anything bad from the treasure chests...yet!! I am saving money for Turtle Island so I haven't been buying anything...but that sure sounds scary!!! and FUN at the same time!! Great motivation though!!!

aimeesadventure.com has a lot of family friendly meals. You can always make some on the weekends and then freeze them to use during the week. We love the Meatloaf Muffins!!!

I have a similar goal on my profile. Even when I got it at 16 I was never that weight!!! Usually waaaayyyy over...but I am getting closer...again! This time hoping to stay that way longer than a year and a half!!

Yay!!! Great job!! That happened to me yesterday!! I was so excited to finally get there also!!! Keep up the good work!!

Hope you are having fun with your new Striiv bmachholiday!!!
