Just an educated guess, but I don't think it was cholesterol that killed the dinosaurs. :wink:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Amazing-Pork-Tenderloin-in-the-Slow-Cooker/Detail.aspx This one tastes WONDERFUL! It smells a little funny while cooking, but it really is amazing! I also use tenderloin for pulled pork. I just add a bottle of bbq sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's) per loin. Cook on low for about 6-7 hours. No…

Sabes, my dear, you are one SMOKIN' chick! I was looking at your pictures in your profile. I keep thinking "Is this guy f***ing crazy?!" Not only are you gorgeous, you are obviously very strong. It takes a lot of guts to spell out your emotions like you are and to let yourself go through the emotions like you are (it hurts…

I made this pork roast for my mom’s birthday and everyone (even a picky 3-year-old) LOVED it. And it is super easy to make – gotta love the crock pot! I paired it with steamed broccoli and boiled red potatoes. You can get away with a meal for under 400 calories easy.…

If you live some where warm/don't mind grilling in the snow/have a Foreman, try sprinkling it with McCormick steak seasoning (but watch the sodium) and wrap it in foil and throw it on the grill. Mmmm, I LOVE salmon! :love:

Anyone else get this one? - "I wish I could lose weight." As though I am one of a select few people with the ability to lose weight. It actually makes me mad and then sad. I just want to squish their faces in my hands and scream "You CAN! Everyone can! It just takes work!"

Oh boy! I am so excited for you! I just added your blog to my favorites.

Thanks! That is kind of what I was thinking. I just needed confirmation I guess. I will stick to my current goal and if I hit another plateau I will change up the calories.

I don’t think I was very clear. I have already beaten the plateau and am losing again. My concern is whether or not I am at the point where I should be losing more slowly. But thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely incorporate more calories very slowly when I decide to increase.

You are my hero! :flowerforyou: Thank you!

Going to try this as one of my New Year's resolutions: 1 new recipe each week. Thanks!

bump! How did I miss these?!

I can relate. My Wii broke my heart last week. I use the Wii fit board to weigh in. I hadn’t weighed myself in a little over a week. When I got on, it said I was down 6 lbs. I was about to commence my happy dance when reality slapped me in the face. I just knew that couldn’t be right (as much as I wanted it to be); so I…

Awesome idea! I'm 5'4" CW - 165 GW - 130 (then maybe reevaluate) by V-Day - 155 I would LOVE to have challenges every week. - Keeps me going. Thanks for starting this. Good luck!

:happy: This is only one part of the notification system. We would use the Emergency Broadcast System (TV and radio). The Natioinal Weather Service, local emergency response teams, the Dam Safety agency, etc. will also be notified. Telephone calls will be made to the property owners by the county dispatcher. However, since…

Oh that sounds better. Thanks for the suggestion. It has to fit in a fairly narrow column. So shorter might be better too. We'll see how that one works.

Hey ladies! Just wanted to let you know that I am alive and well and doing my push ups. However, I think I'm going through a burn out period as far as the message boards go. I think I may need a little break from posting. I will think of you with every push up and will be sending my encouragement via long-distance brain…

So about the new underwear thing ... anyone else get terrible wedgies because their britches are baggy? It happens especially when I am running. And since I often run on an indoor track that is crowded, I have to suffer through them. I wouldn't want to be the girl that constantly picks at her bottom. :embarassed: I also…

Still wondering if we have a winner and a challenge. I haven't seen anything. Did I miss the post?

[/quote] I love stale popcorn! [/quote] NO WAY! :noway: I thought I was the only one. Amy, it seems that you and I have weird things in common ... or maybe I am thinking of someone else on here.

Trust me, I have more blonde moments than anyone I know. And I am awful with dates. You were probably in a state of disbelief due to your spectacular progress. 23 lbs in 2 months is AMAZING!

I am asking for workout dvds for Christmas. Other than P90X and the 30 Day Shred, are there any good ones you recommend? Thanks for your help!

Well, Miss Sarah, I hate to burst your bubble, but unless I am reading your post wrong, you lost that much in a little over 2 months, not 3! If you started Sept. 17, Nov. 17 would be 2 months of your new lifestyle. CONGRATULATIONS! I took me just under 3 months to lose that much. Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

Hey! How did you get inside my head? Very scary! I think the exact same thing .... probably daily. I can't help but be in a good mood when I think of how different this feels. I am so much more confident in my body and what I can do with it and I'm not quite half way to my goal yet. Keep up the great work! We WILL do this!…

I may have missed it, but did we have a winner for last week and a challenge for this week?

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I really slacked off, but only gained .8 lbs (water weight I'm sure). So I'm using that as motivation to get back into the swing of things. I will start (again) Week 4 in Column 2 for push ups and Week 5 in Column 2 for squats and sit ups tomorrow.

I did weight in yesterday. I just didn't have access to a computer. I was at 167.8. I was blown away since I wasn't as good as I wanted to be over the long weekend. Now to lose that water weight!

Leshawn, I'm doing column 2 again as well. I just struggled too much last week. I am also sticking with column 2 for week 5 of the situps. But I moved on from column 1 to 2 in the squats. All three went swimmingly last night. Maybe when I finally get to 100 full push ups, I will start again with one-handed to work on my…

I'm glad to see I'm not the only uber-planner out there. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the day!

So jealous! I don't trust myself enough to do that yet. Maybe when I reach my goal weight and learn to maintain ... Enjoy your Thanksgiving, you deserve it!
