the best thing that I ever did was to start lifting weights. I was terrified of this in the beginning. I believed every myth out there about them (bulky etc) but now I can't imagine moving forward without this component. I didn't have a lot of money, so I use gallon milk containers. I gallon filled to the top is about 9#..…

I think that .9 is fantastic!!! Cheers to you!!!! D

Congrats!!! Don't downplay your success. I understand that you want to take this further but your success so far is outstanding! D

The table looks great!!! thanks! Congratulations to all who have lost weight! Special shout out to Mariam who lost #3! Since she is in her maintenance range, that is amazing! Happy Yom Kippur Nat! (I am assuming this is correct) Have a blast on the vacation Tausha!!! Here are my updates! Yesterday evening I had a headache…

Over calories: 2/7 Under calorie days: 4/7 Cups of Water: 47/60 Calories Burnt: 1548/3500 I will try to crank it out today.

Not creepy at all. The communion of saints were on your side! Anthony is the patron saint who is known to help those who have lost something. Catholics commonly say this prayer..."Tony, Tony, turn around. Somethings lost and can't be found." Not sure it this bit of trivia is "too religious" for the new moderators. So glad…

Dietitians and nutritionists say to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day, but, what's a serving size? Is it one apple? Two carrots?…

The week was filled with high sodium foods as we had two birthday celebrations, and both were at buffets! I avoid buffets because I have a penny pinching mentality and want to be sure that I eat as much as I can possibly hold to be sure I am getting my money's worth. So silly!!!! The food last night for my dad's 80th was…

All I can say is....I gained.....:mad: :explode: :grumble: :angry: :explode: :embarassed: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sick: :huh: :brokenheart: :noway:
