Just had a friend tell me about this thread - too funny! My big one: my mother telling me I'm "too old for long hair". Seriously?!? WTH? She's been giving me crap for 5 years. Just get over it already!

red onions seafood or lean beef?

I was actually told by a friend (who is studying to be a Naturopath). In her reading, she came across it and she experienced the same thing - an actual desire to not add activity in as well. Crazy!?! Seems to be working, because I feel great. On a side note, my hubby found that his favorite local cutlery shop is now having…

I haven't weighed in, but I am definitely losing inches! :flowerforyou: If feels amazing! I have been gluten free now for about 3 months and was originally told to not work out the 1st two months I was dispensing of gluten. The last couple of weeks I it it hard at the gym and lost 7.5 inches last week. Woohoo! I don't know…

We have Azure Standard delivery here to our school ($500 monthly gets free s/h as a group of moms), but I think they do UPS deliveries as well. If they won't ship to your area, ask if they can refer you to someone in your area. We have had the best things come from here. Good luck and here 'ya go:…

My hubbs has the same result. He recently lost 25 pounds and I am sure about an inch in his neck. His shirts are no longer overflowing when he buttons them and puts a tie on. Very nice! Congrats to you!

You look amazing! Thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation! Good job!

I let my eldest pick my running music so here we go - "One of a Kind" - Breaking Benjamin is a must have to go kill something (usually me running at the gym when some little pony tailed college girl thinks she can out run me) :noway: OK - so I'm a little competative! Sorry! "Jesus Walks" - Kayne West "Believe" - Breaking…

Does anyone know - I had a discussion with a gal from church about maltodextrin. Now realizing I quit buying products with this ingredient some time ago because I was told it was made from wheat, I completely cut it out. While at a barbecue yesterday, "Sheri" told me that it is not a gluten product. I did some research on…

Bump! (just because I think it sounds great & I wanna try it for dinner!)

Nice to meet u! I'm new too! Added!

Thanks coolest! Totally didn't know that. Does it factor as a percent or do you know? My exercise calories are around 1350 when I run and/or swim so sometimes this seems like a LOT to eat.

I would assume since you are on MFP that you are doing well nutritionally and eating those calories from your exercise. I'm also going to assume you are not fatigued during the day and that this just hits you in your run. Having said that, I know when I run everyday that if my own personal groove is interrupted by the cell…

Because they offer "cheap" items, the sizing varies horribly. My young ballerina daughter is 19, 5'3" tall and 120 pounds (if you soak her in water) - and she wears a LARGE to X-LARGE from Wallmart. It is CRAZY how their clothes sizes vary. It's not you - it's them. You are doing a wonderful thing with your body! Be proud…

Congrats on the 4.0 AND the 25 pounds! Just awesome!

joyelizabeth - Soy hasn't been a problem for you? Just curious - with the cysts (which I have had some big ones), I was curious as most soy is genetically 'modified' these days and it can act like estrogen. As far as sweeteners - you need to try Stevia. I use it in my hot green tea each day and love it. It has a low…

I have the same condition. I was originally diagnosed when I was running cross country as a very fit teen. My doc at that time recommended swimming and low-impact activities. I would wear my braces when I did anything on concrete or a gym floor then. Now that I am older (and much heavier) I stick to the arc trainer, which…

Very nice! Our climate here is unusual - super cold in the winter and very, very hot & dry in the summer. I just planted my garden too (all be it much smaller). This year we started some raised beds as well. I am so excited as everything put in has been organic. We've got peas, beans, sugar peas, carrots, beets, tomatoes,…

I have a hard time eating my exercise calories too! Mostly because I burn about 1200 calories for swimming, but still - it's a lot. I'm working on eating those too. One thing I noticed in your food diary is a lot of processed foods. That could be a rough spot for you. Fresh is always better and if we can't pronounce an…
