Thanks! :happy: Ugh..... the red team seems to be MIA :sad: Hope everyone is ok! :heart: Go Reds!! :heart:

Hey everyone! How are we doing today? :flowerforyou: I've been doing great on my overall calorie intake.... however due to adding in fresh fruits, I'm always going over on my sugar intake. I'm finding at the end of the day I am extremely low on my fat intake. I have only had 1 minor cold this winter,that only lasted 2…

Trust me, 4am is anything but typical! :laugh: Just couldn't sleep and a couple of my dogs weren't helping matters any. It's hard to find a good doctor that you can trust and mesh with. Ooh, you have cows?? How neat! :bigsmile: I still need to work out today, but I'm way behind on housework! :grumble: :heart: Go Reds!…

Good morning all! Just checking in to see how everyone is this morning :heart: I admit to breaking down and eating a brownie last night after doing our taxes and seeing how much we owe this year. :explode: But thats ok.... I lost it for a while last night, recovered and ready to make up for it today! :drinker: I'm kinda…

I pulled up a few things on the sugar buster diet for you, maybe that will help. While I'm not into fad diets, I have found their food lists to be helpful. I have to confess, mine was a bit easier, being from the south, sweet tea is its own food group down here and giving it up as well as colas and other obvious sugar…

I agree with you..... I never use margArine. I only all use natural ingredients. While I admire your passion for someting you believe in, your approach comes off alittle too preachy. I was typing the recipe in a hurry and my fingers typed margarine when I meant to type butter.

Lovetoteach: Absolutely, egg subsitute works perfect. Its what I use, actually. I just forgot to change it on the recipe! :blushing: Christa, here is the recipe I used for an egg sub when I went Vegan for a while. It held the burgers together nicely and gave a nice flavor. There is a tofu alternative below as well. I found…

Just perfect! :grumble: I don't keep those items in my house, but it makes me wonder what other items are dangerous. Ya bust your butt trying to get and stay healthy, and all these companies are tryin to poison you! :mad: The Omish have it right... make everything yourself. If you can't create it, you don't need it!…

Hey guys! Everyone survive the Superbowl snacks? :laugh: Well, I bombed on exersicing over the weekend. However, it has been a week and I still haven't had any caffeine or carbonated beverages. And my sugar intake is down by 75%! So, nothing but water and herbal tea for me these days. :drinker: I'm pretty impressed that…

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! :flowerforyou: All hail the Queen of fitness!!!! Way to go! :drinker: :heart: Go Reds!! :heart:

Wow, Gustergirl... I'm so sorry to hear that. :noway: Looks like you've managed to stay right on track tho! :flowerforyou: I do admire all of you with kids. That you're able to handle all of their needs and problems and still find a few minutes of time for yourselves! :drinker: I have a hard enough time doing this stuff…

Okay, I'll just keep talking to myself this morning. Well, I'm day 3 without caffeine and on day 4 of giving up carbonated beverages! Yay me!! :tongue: I've cut my sugar intake in half as well. I'm off to do the daily challenge! :heart: Go Reds! :heart:

I used to be really addicted. Weigh every morning, many times during the day and weigh before bed. I knew what the scale would be the next morning by the number on the scale that night. It became like a drug and helped in the downward spiral. The more weight I lost, the more the scale addiction grew. I dropped almost 100…

So.... I'll ask again..... Are there any Reds in the house??? :flowerforyou: I hope there are more than just 2 of us! :happy: :heart: Go Reds! :heart:

Sweet! Those sound like fun! :drinker: Yay!!!!!! :heart:

Hey Reds, we seem to be the only ones without daily active threads. We're not losing interest, now are we?? :noway: I need my butt kicked often to stay on track!!!!! We started off so good the first 1.5 weeks, then we just fizzled out. What's up with that?? I'm making a commitment to log in here atleast once a day to stay…

:angry: 206 I guess it could be worse, atleast I didn't gain this week. :tongue: How are all the other Reds doing? :heart: Go Red Team! :heart:
