Welcome Aboard Alan! You love it here! Enjoy the journey of feeling healthy emotionally and physically! Don't forget your water.. Try not to eat late. You'll be losing weight in no time... As for all the cold weather... %$&^# I live North of Chicago, it's 32 degrees one day, 64 the next then 40 below with wind chill!…

Welcome! You'll love it here, everyone is so helpful and inspirational! Enjoy the journey of becoming healthy, physically and emotionally! Be well! :flowerforyou:

Great Refresher... thanks FC. Now just more practice, practice, practice. I do sit down for every meal with the TV off. So I know what I'm eating, get to taste it and not engulf it. Enjoying the ride of feeling and looking healthier! You're an awesome inspiration! Great Work, Keep it up! You go Girl! :flowerforyou:

Welcome Kristin! Eat your exercise calories... but once I stop losing weight I give myself a jumpstart and don't eat my exercise calories for 2 days... then back to eating them. No matter what you do if you continue the same routine your body adjusts and will slow down on losing weight. Nutritionists say to confuse your…

I agree with Madblu426... Set your clock 10-15 minutes early every AM. BUT also go to bed earlier every night 10-15 mins until the desired amount of sleep... Can I move in? :happy: I have a 3.5 and almos 5 yr old.. I'm lucky to sleep past 6 AM. :noway: It hardly happens. (Cut the caffeine out gradually until completely out…

Thank you both for the suggestions! I'll miss all of you! :cry: But I'll be back soon! (As soon as my Husband gets back full-time.. Fingers and toes are crossed.) :wink:

Ditto! Without communication nothing gets resolved. Congrats on your 3rd child.. How exciting! :flowerforyou:

You're crazy funny! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hello Everyone.. As of March 5th I won't have access to MFP/ canceling internet. So I have been searching for a pocket size calorie/nutrition guide book that also includes carbs/fat/sodium/sugar/ fiber intake. Sorry, basically everything MFP does. Any suggestions? (*I'm going to go on a friends computer at least once a…

You did 2 wonderful things.. relieved your stress and got some healthy exercise. Funny story thanks!

Try Cheer Color Guard or Tide has a new one out... Keeps clothes from fading. Love the stuff! Waiting until summer... closer to my goal. Congratulations to everyone... great feeling every size dropped! :drinker:

Agree with Chrissy... and maybe a nice slow stretch of your muscles after lifting. And drink several glasses of water afterwards to rid your body of the toxins.. :flowerforyou:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: thanks!

Yes I love almonds! I also snack on them.. But I have to measure a 1/4 cup and put them away... otherwise I can't stop eating them. I eat raw almonds instead of roasted to get the full benefits. I guess were both a little nutty! :laugh:

Any cranberry juice in the house? Even orange juice, lemon juice in your water. Something until you get on a prescription. Don't let it go.. it will travel into your kidneys which is very painful. Make sure you don't have a start of a yeast infection. It actually can have the same symptoms... At least for me it does.. Take…

(I love Dr. Oz and I thought I would just share it... Real Age is very imformative also.) Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:

I got thru this every day because I get stressed with my 2 very active little boys. If I had there energy I'd be 100 lbs ...:laugh: .. Some days I have less control than others, one week out of the month :wink: .. But I just get back on my feet with the next thing put in my mouth. :happy:

Also check the "Dollar Tree" dollar store, they had them near the tooth picks a couple of weeks ago. Otherwise Rubbermaid at Wall-Mart has nice little sizes. Tupperware still makes Midgets and there are a ton on eBay.. But save the shipping other brands will serve the same purpose. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

By Dr. Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen Post 3—Stop Your Sugar Cravings Knowing what's causing your sugar cravings can help you put a cap on them long before they force you into bigger clothes. Which of the three main types of cravings do you have? You say: Feed me now, or I'll kill you. This usually reflects low blood sugar.…

Great Job Amanda for pushing yourself today! Keep it up... you deserve to look and feel great! Salute! :drinker:

Yes, it tears up the roof of our mouths because we inhale it! I love and miss the captain.. But I just cheated :noway: and had 1/8 of a small Jacks cheese pizza and burnt the roof of my mouth.. I now have a blister torn... So I guess that's my punishment! (Not fair.. I counted it in my calories :explode: )

That movie was cute! But the French are doing something right... they stay thin.. But I hope it's not all the nicotine. :wink:

Funny!! I having a Paczki tomorrow... just one.. Then totally strict during Lent.. Going to the "" Fastnachts""" (their actually name) on Sat for a Mardi Gras party.. I will be good! They always have shrimp and veggies out... thank God ...and I won't have any Hurricane's... :wink:

WHAT A FEELING! :wink: YOU GO GIRL!! :flowerforyou: KEEP IT UP!!! Salute! :drinker:

1. Grey's Anatomy junkie :tongue: 2. Can cuss all sorts of words in Italian :drinker: 3. Can put my feet up to my ears... When I lose my gutt probably back behind my head again! :noway:

I bought a brand new BABY TREND DOUBLE JOGGING STROLLER EXPEDITION model for $129.00 "Buy it Now" on eBay and love it... (They normally run around $200-250). I have a 50 lb tall 4 yr old and a 3 yr old and it's so easy to push... One finger down the road... It folds up and stores in the back of my SUV... I don't know how…

First of all Congrats on the baby! Yes you need at least 500 calories extra per day... and intake at least 10 cups of water/ day... Also watch those spicy, gassy veggies, caffeine.. Everything is passed onto your little one and can cause them major stomach aches and gas pains! Also linked to colic! :flowerforyou: God Bless…

Thanks I'll have to try them.. With my first pregnancy I was on my feet full time working until the day he was born.. He came 6 wks early/ extreme pre-clampsia. I thought my feet were going to explode with fluid/ couldn't even bend them. My feet got wider.. wierd huh?? So I'll look for your pair. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Eat healthy, take your pre-nat vitamins... No caffeine, nicotine or alcohol... then continue with your exercise and let nature take its course. And calm down... reduce your stress , try to get your sleep and think positive.. You can also eat very healthy and exercise during your prenancy and only gain 20-35 lbs... My…
