You felt great before you checked the BMI, right? So why let a number tell you how you should feel? 70 pounds is a HUGE accomplishment. I wish I was at the lost 70 lbs mark, but I am not. I feel great, I can do regular pushups, I can get through a hour long workout with my trainer and still function the rest of the day and…

Awesome awesome awesome, that is a great accomplishment!

Mine was in October of 2011 and I had to sit on an angle in my car so the seat belt buckle didn't dig into my hips. Then realizing I NEVER wore Jeans anymore, all yoga pants. I signed up for the gym october 13th and had a personal training "assessment" and couldn't do things that were so easy about 5 years ago. Before…

Wow, what a great difference. You should be so proud, congratulations

16 pounds my first month, that was before I joined MFP though. Its a fun first month or 4 for me, I loved the scale then.

Its a grain, very healthy. It cooks exactly like like rice and can be eaten in various forms. I make a quinoa summer salad-favorite or a side (when cooked with chicken broth is yummy) I have been making a bunch with garlic and then eating it with a chicken breast

Anyone out there is free to add me. Welcome!!!

Trader Joes is better for price, but there are a few items that only whole foods carries that I like. I just hate that 5 items can add up to $35 sometimes at whole foods.

I eat it once a week (sunday) on toast, gotta spoil myself with that one.

before-1/2 a sandwich thin and 1 tablespoon peanut butter (if allergies sunbutter) I don't like anything heavy so I spread it really thin after- Protein: cottage cheese and fruit, eggs, protein shake

I work with kis with autism so I totally understand the exhaustion part, I make myself workout in the morning so that I cant blow it off at the end of the day. I also have a family member with allergies like yours, cook your veggies (I like grilled). Just keep it up though. 7 pounds is great, so stay positive.

Icing my knee as we type, lunges and squats will build the muscle around the knee, stonger quads help with knees as well.

The jean shopping about the zipper is exactly me. I am pear for sure, I do cardio daily and bootcamp/circuit train 2-3 days a week. It has help with the slimming and toning. I am ready for muscle to gobble up the fat in the hips though. PS i do rock my shape though, I hated it when I was in highschool, but I love the shape…

I am the same, I put pandora radio on my phone and have a station labeled "teach me how to dougie" and "rack city" you will get hip-hop and rap with those

Hi Jen, Feel free to add me. I have been on here since November and love it.

Awesome, congratulations

Through a park district around me they have classes designed to play active games with young kids, parents are involved with some of the classes. As a teacher games like red light green light, mother may I and mr. fox are movement games that kids enjoy and don't realize how much they are moving.

feel free to add me, I eat my exercise calories, I like food and like to eat.

You have been on for 2 months and 7.4 pounds is a great loss!! Congratulations! Your body works in starvation mode when you eat too little. Try to eat at least 1200 calories and if you workout eat some of those calories back too, enjoy the journey.

Fantastic way to share your journey, congratulations you look fantastic.....I like to see the sweat too :)

I saw 3.51, but on the news yesterday they said $5 by memorial day, yuck!!!
