I am here with you! No meat, no diary, no fish, none of that stuff....and yet...I still seem to manage to eat fattening food! LOL

It really is great isnt it! Our pets need us and clearly we all need them too!!

That kicks *kitten*!! Hey, what about using egg replacer instead of eggs which would lower it even more and reduced fat peanut butter??? Or that peanut butter with flax???? Ooooooo, I am going to go make this now!!

Great point! I will be sure to write about that in my articles!!

WOW!! You guys have really inspired me to really write these articles!! And you all do so much with your pets!! I love it!! Here is a link to the first one http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-37994-Tacoma-Pets-Examiner~y2010m5d30-Working-out-with-your-pets I know that its all about the area that I live in but this is just a…

A yorkie that walks two miles! Holly cow those little legs must be tough!

LOL! Yeah all of these things count! I forgot all about dog dancing!! My cats try to jump on me when I am stretching. It doesnt have to be something that really works them out too but it helps to build that bound between you! I need to do this sooooo much more.

That is a really great idea!! I think I will do that and since I totally slipped off the map of my diet yesterday I think that I will take one out if gaine a pound too!

I am going to have to find it or something like it. Although whats funny is that I am shooting to be a size 12! LOL I look and feel really good at that size and I cant wait to be it again!

Thanks!!!! Great Info!!!!

Aloe Vera Juice....hmmmm that sounds much more pleasent than this tea (I drink it cold by the way) and that seems to have some other benifits too! Well I have a box of the tea so I will use it first and then I will check that out! Thanks!!!!

No....you must not know what the tea really does or what I meant by a number 2 issue..... Its not a "potion" it has a real effect that I have experianced in the past and I am looking for other people and suggestions in case it doesnt do what I need it too.

Try swimming in a heated pool! That will help the joints and it burns calories faster than walking or biking!!

I try to wait a week but normaly weigh in every 3 days. It works for me!

Oh yuck! Look at that thing will all of the fat and calories just ozzing off of it! Does it come on a plate? I will eat the plate....

I all but inhale a salad with fat free dressing then walk up hills around my work for about 10-15 mins then come back in and eat a cereal bar and get some water and go back to work. I know that I shouldnt eat so fast but by then I am starved!

So when you go through McD's get a fruit and yogurt parfait instead! Its really yummy, sweet, filling and its low in fat and cal's! At subway get your sandwich and apples or just the sandwhich, if you cant stay off that cookie then make sure to do a lot of cardio to work it off. Vending machines often have fruit snacks,…

I feel for you! I am 32 and trying very hard to loose weight, and I have been trying for a long time. I even tried slim fast once and gained weight while on it (it actually had more callories and fat grams that my normal diet....) and I did alli too and all that did was make me sick all the time and hungry even more.…

Ouchie! Honestly I wouldnt try to run on them....I would be worried about breaking blisters, sweat in them and infections.....

You rock! I like your blogg too by the way!

I have lost 10 pounds in 5 days of being here and what I have been doing is between meals if I feel hungry I drink a bottle of water, if I am still hungry (which I usualy am since I have been working out every day and really hard) I eat something small (half a banna or other piece of fruit or a gram cracker or something)…

I just take a regular cookie recipe and use splenda instead of sugar, works great for me!!

Hi! Well I have only been here for 5 days and I have lost 10 pounds! Thats a huge amount and I am sure that I might be an exception so a rule or something but I owe it to MFP! It has really helped me to see exactly how much everything that I eat and drink effects me and how much even the smallest of activity helps. I used…

Thats a huge difference! I bet it feels great too! You can really see it in your face and from what you can see of the rest of you too!! Good job and keep it going!!

You and I have just about the same amount to loose (give or a take a little) and I can tell you that I was feeling the same way. But as soon as I started putting in the foods that I had eaten on my first day and took a good look at them and the fact that I wasnt really doing anything I got to work. Its only been a couple…

Actually I have lost 6 as of this morning!

I would make vegan chocolate chip cookies that are made with splenda and molassis to keep down the sugar and look for alternatives to the butter! This way you can have your yummy treat with out killing your whole day!

Thanks! I think that our big thing is learning what and how to eat again. We dont eat much meat but after looking at the things that we do it we are replacing our meats with other bad foods, and we knew that, we just didnt realize how much we had both gained over the last 5 years. But I am just a few days in and have last…

Well getting on the scale for the first time in years was a real shocker for me, I saw numbers on it that I never wanted to see. I am hoping to make for a good fast start to keep me modivated to get the rest of it off as well. Whats funny is that my goal weight is a weight that I once weighed and thought of my self as…

I was wondering about these too! I guess untill I hear from some that is using one that I am going to stick with my regular weights.
