Yeah, I know there are. Thanks for the comment. :) Coldplay does rock! :)

Just need cheered up... Thx

Aimin' towards 115. Also, I love to stalk other shorties with either my starting weight or goal weight (food diaries, goals, etc) so feel free to add me. :) You don't even have to write a message or anything. Just be short. :)

Wow, you did that with a point and shoot?! I think they are great. I really love the profile pic. And the one with the horse with his head turned. Nice! :smile:

Definitely stayin' on plan! :smile:

Haha...at least he was nice about it. This is exactly why I've be afraid of taking before pics...who know where they might show up. Many years ago, I was trying to lose a few pounds and had my sw/cw/gw stats in my signature that I used when participating with an online weight loss group and accidentally sent them out with…

Running and kettlebells!

Is you dr. suggesting a high carb diet or just disapproving of your low-carb diet? When I deal with someone like a primary care physician, I just describe the diet I eat, but don't say Atkins or Low-carb. I usually just explain that I eat healthy protein, veggies, fats, fruit, and avoid sugar and refined carbs. They are…

Don't know if this will help, but before I go to dinner parties, I eat my low carb dinner right before I go. That way, I'm not at all hungry. Then I nibble on salad or veggies or meat or whatever is available, and drink a lot of water or tea. With raviolis, I would just treat them like oysters and open them up and eat the…

Hi, welcome to the gf club. :) When you first switched to gluten free and you started eating gluten free bread did it fill you up much faster? I noticed what you noticed with gf breads and I've heard this from other people, too. I immediately went from being able to eat a large percentage of a pizza to 1-2 slices of a much…

Love the dress!! :smile:

I'm not crazy about being single, but it beats being with the wrong person!

I heart: - San J's Tamari Sauce - Tinkyada brown rice pasta (so much better and easier to cook with than other rice pastas I've tried) - Blue Diamond Almond Nut-Thins (I have to hide from the gluten eaters who like them because they are $) - Amy's rice pasta Mac&Cheese (so delicious, but definitely a special occasion food)

I like spanx too for smoothing stuff out. Just never figured out how to wear it under a swimsuit. :smile:

I got mine from Canyon Hoops, and even if you make your own or get one from another source, they still have good information on their website about selecting the weight and size hoop for what you want to do with it. :)

I do! Mine is not quite that heavy, but I like to hoop for about 20 minutes several times a week. A couple of my local friends and I are going to start a Hoopin' 30/30 challenge where we are planning to hoop for 30 minutes for the next 30 days to improve our skills.

I saw Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil listed in the foods, so I know there is at least one other out there. :)

Hi, I'm Cara. I've been gluten-free for over ten years. I'm so glad to see other celiacs interested in losing weight, and getting all fit and healthy. I see so many in other circles that just don't want to give anything else up. Good luck to everyone. :)

Homegrown turkey Cornbread dressing Mashed potatoes and mashed cauliflower (for me) Gravy Cranberry sauce 7 layer salad Green bean casserole (green beans for me) Sweet potato casserole Pumpkin cheesecake with gf crust Plus whatever the gluten-eaters are bringing. :)

I do a lot of freezing, too. For stuff that doesn't freeze well, I will halve a recipe for 4. I eat on serving for dinner and pack the other serving for my lunch the next day. If it's something I really like, I will make the full recipe and get 2 dinners and 2 lunches. Sometimes cooking for 1 is easier because you can get…

Coffee, iced tea, and occasionally diet soft drinks.

I'm a runner and different scenery and different music help me out a lot. I put a new mix of music on my ipod for the duration of my run. Rock my run at www.rockmyrun.com has running playlists you can download.

I'd love to be a 2/4 again. I'm a 12 right now.
