Good morning Mary! Wow.... you go away on vacation, and everything falls apart?!?! are you sure we're not related? You have my luck! Pam & Smadag: I hope you are both feeling better today!! Well, I made my water goals yesterday as well as my cals. I walked and did core work yesterday, but didn't run or lift. Tuesday's legs…

Pam and Mary Nice to see you both! Sorry for the UT/breathing issues!! Just mentioning kids, makes me exhausted!

I'll do it with you, Smadag.... even with my am walks, I thing I need to increase the cardio in the pm from 45-60 mins up to 70. So ... the plan for my afternoon workouts will be 45 mins cardio, 30 mins (approx) weights and 25 mins cardio. Chrissy: As I said in your other post.. you are a StAr!!!! Elaina: go through the…

:laugh: Go Smadag, go Smadag :laugh: Yay! and congrats! I must have not done enough stretching because I descided to jog on the treadmill yesterday (1 min walk at 4.0, 2 min jog ar 5.2 and repeat) for 20 mins. by the time I finished, my hips hurt. i usually hurt a little after my sprint triathlons, but never the next…

Yay for the H2O! I'm in for 98+ oz.... right after this tasty coffee...... NOBODY MESSES WITH MY COFFEE!!! phew... i'm ok....

I have good bra's (not top of the line, or made to fit, but good) and I still have issues, but I also do have loose skin, as i lost quite a bit of weight. Maintaining my core work, including planks and push-ups has been the only thing that kept it in check..... but I adjust anytime I feel the APB's trying to escape.. My DH…

Yup... I agree, that's the best way to tone the muscle, giving you the best chance to minimize the look of the apb's (arm pit boobs). I do the following series after every workout Plank on elbows or ball: 1 min Push-ups: 10 Superman: 4, 15 sec holds Push-ups: 10 Reverse plank: 1 min Rest: 30 sec's Repeat 3-5 times [/quote]…

Pam, you are such a cheerleader today! This thread and you ladies are such a nice way to have a mental moment to myself at different times of the day....... i just spent an hour dealing with my M-I-L, who is a user and a drunk and irresponsible (yes, i can go on).... any-whooo. Since she lives in my DH's house, I have to…

Virtual hug comm'in your way, Smadag! I haven't had the best start to the week, in fact, aside from the normal morning miles with the puppy, I didn't make it to the gym yesterday. How about this.... can you do something outdoors? Do you have a bike? Perhaps looking forward to a ride Sat morning would help you get back in…

Rock Star!!!

Deep cleansing breaths, Chrissy!!! ... that, or a kickboxing class... take your pic... both help to avoid the gasket problem! Did ok on cals yesterday, but had to cut the weights portion short to get to a friend in need. I took the pooch out for 2 miles this morning, only to find out that my pedometer is broken, which is…

Well, first off, welcome back, Mani! Even the most sucessful people at weightloss, have had to jump over the backslide hurdle or had to start over more than once. So remember, you are not alone! Start reading the blogs that give you ideas about food choices, and before you eat, look at the food and evaluate what you are…
-
Wow, Casper, that's a tough one. Food is so central to a family that "messing" with a dynamic can be problematic. I wouldn't tell you to comment directly on food rather cook as you have always been doing, follwo the other posts suggestions and lead by example. I would say, however, that the change could be made in the…

I will say... I have tried Salmon cooked almost every way (smoking, grilling, baking etc) and cannot stand it cooked. the fish takes on a flavor and smell I don't like... but... It is may favorite form of sashimi (raw....sushi). If you find the flavor is too strong, I recommend you go to a good sushi restaurant and place…

Pam: Congratulations on the wedding of your DD#1. Sorry to hear they are moving, but as another AF wife, I understand :) Don't you fret about the 5lbs! They will drop off after you are back in routine! Chrissy: I'll take that challenge!!!

life is an adventure! If I go more than 6 months without experiencing and learning somethign new, I get bored. Go have fun!!!!

I can go without too much frosting... but lemon cake batter?..... Why is it so darn tasty?!?!?! The good thing, is that 22 of the 24 came to work with me, and the other 2 went into a baggie and into the frige drawer that my brother uses (he rents a room from me).... by the time I get home from work, he will be high on…

Morning chickies!!! I was ok on the food choices untill the evening! Let me start with my day... if you work in a hospital, you know what JCAHO is. It is a commission that accredits your hospital and they audit every couple of years. Well I got a call that the auditor was coming to see our department (which includes…

Or turn to a buddy and ask "does this tool belt make my hips look fat?" LOL

Kick butt Chrissy!!! I have never broken my leg, but I dislocated my hips when I was 18 (car accident, spend 2 months in a body cast) and I still hurt after i do a hard jog on pavement. I just cater to the pain on day two. II am not sure what the pain stems from for you guys.... I know mine is arthritis. Any better if you…

Sean, I am sure there is a visible difference, what you need to do is convince yourself of it. Obviously, if people are commenting on your weight loss, it is you that needs to re-evaluate yourself, remembering that you have accomplished a great thing! After carrying a lot of excess weight for years, my ribcage expanded and…

Is it Wednesday already?!?!?! Where is this week going? Ok, so I helped a doc friend out yesterday with a group of teens. He is working with them to acheive weightloss and they meet once a month. As he is my Sat morning weights buddy, I have been showing up to help. Well, yesterday we played "the blob". 2 people start out…

It was an irresponsible answer, although tecnically true.... and here is why: Once the fat cell is created, it will never go away. When we lose weight, the cells shrink. this is why people can "lose the belly". But our bodies are very good at developing ways to maintain a supply of storage for the future! (silly bodies)…

Whatever you do.... Don't think about fountains..... or waterfalls.... or leaky sinks!!!!

Welcome Megabum! I am sure you will find the tools and support you need here on MPF, you just have to keep at it! ileana

Stef, Is your foot "slipping" forward, off the pedal, making it spin? If so, push your heel down in order for your foot not to slip forward. From what you are describing, it sounds like you are pushing forward, towards your toes (pointing toes)... if so, this would explain the foot slipping. (Pedals are loose, they are…

good lord, smadag... that sounds tasty.... now... where did I put my lunch?
