I like mine steamed. I break off the ends where they naturally break and stick them in the steamer for a about 5-6 minutes (I like mine al-dente) or until they are bright green and then add a little salt and pepper to taste!

1. I have two little toes on my right foot. 2. I have dislocated my shoulder 5 times 3. I have cadaver material in my garage (my dog is trained in human remains detection) 4. I have played the piano since I was 5 5. I can roll my tongue into a clover shape

I was able to do a side plank this morning at the gym without modifications!! This one has always killed me!!! It was still rough but I did it!!

I have found with me that I go through a similar cycle. I weigh myself once a week and the first week I might lose two pounds and then the next week not lose anything and then the next week lose two, etc, etc. That's just the way my body works I guess. Before I knew this I would get so mad because I would work really hard…

My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years and we still have separate accounts (my name is on his account as well but only because he had to go out of town for work and I needed to have access to his money to pay bills) at separate banks. I pay the bills and we split the amount down the middle. I just write a…

My husband does laundry and buys me flowers "just because"! When we were dating I used to get poems too, but haven't gotten any of those in a long time:)

Erie:)

I bought a pair of awesome Oakley board shorts several years ago and was disappointed when they didn't fit but loved them so much that I didn't want to send them back so I kept them and vowed to eventually fit into them! They have been my size gauge for the past year, when I put them on originally I couldn't even get the…

I have two dogs. Doogan who is a German Shepherd and Zoe the Border Collie. They are both super smart and we keep them busy! My husband and I are members of a local search and rescue team and Doogan is my k9 partner and Zoe is his. Doogan is definitely a "mama's boy" and has to follow me everywhere! They are both certified…

I have a Blackberry Curve and like it. The web browser is slow so I don't use it much, but I like the majority of the apps I have on it. However, if I were going to be getting a new phone I would definitely get an iphone. I got an ipad for Christmas and love it. Plus all my friends have the iphone and I'm jealous:)

I generally eat what I want but use portion control. So far that has worked for me. However, I have started to think more about what I eat based on their calories so that I'm getting the most bang for my buck (i.e. broiled salmon, steamed asparagus, and roasted red potatoes for 400 calories vs. 1 piece of pizza for the…

kraftfoods.com also has slow cooker recipes that are easy to make and their recipes generally give you the nutritional info on them so you know how many calories are in a serving. That is one of my resolutions this year is to use my crock pot more often!! So far it hasn't happened:)

My stance. We don 't have kids, we have dogs. I don't love your kids, you don't have to love my dogs. [/quote] This! We don't have children either we have two dogs and three cats (one of while my husband saved from a house fire). Both of our dogs are certified Therapy Dogs and Search and Rescue dogs and are very well…

I was going to say... Wow I burn over 3000 calories then in my spin class!

I like Black Eyed Peas, Disturbed, Puddle of Mudd, Awolnation, Kitty, pretty much anything that has a good beat. I tend to lean toward the "angry music" as my friends like to call it!

I picked SARgirl because I am a member of a local search and rescue (SAR) team and Doogan (the dog in my picture) is my k9 partner, and I'm a girl:)

I see you live in East Hickory, PA (don't know where that is) but I live in PA too. We have several different grocery stores around here that have lower priced items (Aldi's, Save-A-Lot, Food King) and a place called Erie County Farms that has tons of fresh fruits, veggies, and meat for low prices (I'm talking filet for…

I always have a morning snack! I always know when it's 10:30 because I notice I'm hungry:)

I am also a sugar-holic! I could eat ice cream everyday if you let me! I'm doing better with just eating one cookie rather than three and I've found that I just need something little (hershey's kisses do it for me!) to squash the itch. This is something I would like to focus on, but don't think I'm ready to give it up…

I also have great friends on here. I started as part of a group so I think that helped in the friend's department. There are always challenges posted so maybe if you get involved in one of those you will get more supportive "friends"? You are new, give it time.

This generally happens to me anyways during the week (not intentionally) and I am continuing to lose weight. I also have started to pay attention to my weekly calorie trend on here as well. Good luck:)

Boolahboo We are close! GW: 130ish CW: 148 SW: 158 Height: 5'5" Sex: Female Age: 34

The gym I go to just added the Les Mills CXWorks program which is a 30 minute core program and I do it 2-3 times a week and have really noticed a difference! I was definitely sore when I first started but I'm getting better at it and I'm generally not sore the next day. They are going to be launching the new set though…

An awesome bikini:) Doing my next Warrior Dash in June so that is my end goal date for my end goal weight!

Erie, Pennsylvania

My sister-in-law does prime rib and lobster tails which is fine by me because I love both!!!

Used to get one until I got the flu even after having the shot. I haven't had one for as long as I can remember and (knock on wood) have been pretty healthy. I work in education so I'm around germy kids everyday! I say it builds up the immune system!

Did it in Virginia in October, it was awesome!!! Tons of fun! Definitely doing it next year!!

I would leave well enough alone, it sounds like you are doing very well! You don't want to not eat enough and put your body into starvation mode! I think as far as how much each person loses a month varies due to a lot of different reasons (starting weight, calories consumed, exercise, etc). Good luck on your journey!

I do search and rescue (SAR) with my German Shepherd (profile pic) and I'm a girl:)
