Glad you are getting back to normal Barbie!!! I am going to start a bootcamp class with a friend on Monday, I am pretty excited and maybe a little scared too, hehehe

Jam, I hope you have a wonderful time!! Last week was a bit rough since I had a bad cold, but luckilly it came with a low appetite as well. I know it is not good to not eat enough, but I will take what I can get. I made an effort to stay healthy and on Friday my weigh in put me down into the overweight BMI category! I am…

I struggle with this as well, but I try not to let my weight determine my self worth. I am trying to focus on being healthy rather than being thin. As we age it will be harder and harder to look "perfect" and really health is worth so much more. If you try to focus more on the health the slimness will follow. Easier said…

I love the way you said this, it is so true! Congrats on your health!!!

Wow! Looking good! Congrats!

Congrats!

Awesome!!!! Congrats!!!

There is always some sort of social reason to derail our healthy liefstyles isn't there. For me I was doing very well last year until Halloween when I let all the treats derail me completely. I think that when we are at a social eating event there are options, portion control, trying to find the healthy option, eating less…

Welcome to the site! I love it here :)

I think it is my virtual model http://www.mvm.com/cs/ I had one years ago, I haven't tried the site lately so I am not sure if it is the same.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great way to start your holiday!!!

Congrats!! You look wonderful!!

I used to work down by their concept store on broadway and cambie, I used to go in there with my coworker a lot, she swore by them but as of yet I don't have it in my budget. They seem very good quality! It might be a good item to purchase for one of my goals though!

Vancouver BC here, close but no cigar :smokin:

Wow! Congrats on all your hard work!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Barbie, I am trying not to let it get to me, but I am still not seeing what I want to on the scale, I need to step away from the scale until Saturday and see what happens. It must be tough not being able to be as active as you would like, hopefully the knee will be all better soon! I am starting the 200 situps…

Awesome!!! Good work on making a better choice!

Done

Hey everyone and happy monday! I had an excellent weekend and I don't think I derailed too much from plan. I had a great time out on a canoe yesterday, it was such a great upper body workout and so much fresh air and nice scenery! I packed us a healthy pic nic lunch and my bf had a few beers :drinker: (I was driving) so he…

Very good information. One thing to note is that often the problem is that people eat way too little and then end up bingeing. This is why people often reccomend not going too low as it is often unsustainable. If a person eats too little then suddenly eats way too much the body often reacts by storing these extra calories…

I have done this before, I try not to keep any junk food in the house, that way if I do eat in the night it will not be something unhealthy. I also was taking PGX supplements, they really helped me with my cravings. I try to eat more of my calories before dinner, that way I am full by the time I finish that meal and I try…

Welcome!

Congrats on your hard work! You are an inspiration!!

I have baked pitas before, a good snaack is whole wheat pita toasted brushed with a tough of oilive oil and fresh tomatoes on top, kind of like a brushetta. My bf toasted a pita with peanut butter on it yesterday, it looked yum!

Ya I mean I wish we had the smaller sized ones :wink:

I wish they sold those here, I love those bars but they are too big of a portion for me and if I open one I would probably not eat just half.

Good work! It is all about making better choices. I used to eat chips and salsa at least once a week (with queso sauce) today I had guiltless gourmet chips and salsa in a small portion. It was yum and well within my plan :happy:

You know I buy stuff and tell myself that I will portion it out but I can't seem to resist. So when I want a treat I tend to buy what I will have that day only. Hopefully I will get to the point where I can just have a little but until then I have to keep it out of the house.

Glad you have found a way to eat out and still be moe healthy! I am headed out tonight to meet some new friends and I steered us to a restaurant that has something yummy AND healthy on the menu!
