Sodium has been my arch enemy all week too Bru! I actually changed my diary so I could see it because I didn't have it on there before. I almost wish I hadn't but trying to keep it honest! (keep it honest, keep it honest!) I am hoping to be below 220 within the next two weeks so I am going to TRY to UP the water and LOWER…

VERY cool! Thanks for sharing!

I am sooo bumping this! This sounds fabulous!

A good way to stretch your IT is to sit in a chair and put your ankle across your knee and then lean forward. I use this stretch before I exercise and it helps my hip sooooo much! Hope you feel better!

Awwww Bru....I am so sorry. Our pets are our babies and I know how bad it hurts. We lost a pet this year too and it was just heartbreaking for all of us. Our NoNo was a beautiful kitty and he had Feline Leukemia when we adopted him. The doc told us he could live all of his life with it or he may go early. We left for a…

Hello all H20er's! I didn't weigh in yesterday 1) because I was keeping my 9 month old nephew and he doesn't understand that I need to take a moment in the morning to step on the scale and 2) TOM has arrived and I wasn't even motivated to try to fit in a second to do it. I had the swollen fingers/feet and had been feeling…

TOM decided to rear his ugly head this weekend but I am satisfied with the weight-loss! Congrats to all who have lost and for those who didn't...hang in there, today is a new day! Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 225.5 Sept 13: 224.4 Sept 20: Sept 27: Oct 4: Oct 11: Oct 18: Oct 25: Nov 1: Nov 8: Nov 15: Nov 22: Nov 29: Dec 6: Dec…

I did a little search because I have been wondering the same thing and was very surprised to learn this: "So what does raise blood cholesterol? One of the main theories is that saturated fat does. Of the three types of fat (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), saturated fat raises blood cholesterol and LDL…

Well...maybe someone wasn't getting any when the database was created :smile:

I weigh everyday but stay mindful that the ups and downs that happen during the week won't be the official weight until weigh in day on Sunday. What does it matter how often you weigh as long as you don't get discouraged? What matters is what it says on weigh in day!

What sad AND scary story. Our society is all about fast food and easy, high fat versions of everything. I had a "scare" story of my own but it was my own personal experience that opened my eyes. I was at my childrens' high school yesterday and there was a young lady in there, about 17 years old, she was about 5'7" and had…

Awesome results! I had a C-section 18 years ago and will be working on that belly as the next stage in my journey! Very inspirational! Oh and...I must say that I LOVE that FLORIDA GATOR sign up on the wall! GO GATORS! :)

Wow Tina! That is a great loss! Awesome job!

This is great! So glad to see everyone signing up! Thanks for starting this thread Lisa. Sure will keep me focused on my goals! :happy:

I'm thankful he has decided to eat better and exercise more!! I know there are so many husbands out there that rebel against anything associated with the ugly D word! I haven't called it the D word though, I call it a healthier lifestyle! jflynch...maybe he will change his mind when he sees how good you are doing! :)

I'm in! This will be great for my next mini goal of being under 200 by the New Year! I joined the Lose 20lbs by Halloween Challenge so this challenge will have me right on target for the New Year! Good luck to everyone!! We can do this! Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 225.4 Sept 13: Sept 20: Sept 27: Oct 4: Oct 11: Oct 18: Oct 25:…

Ok..so I want to brag on him just a little bit. He has lost 18lbs. since I started my journey but MFP is only showing 8 cuz he didn't join until after he started losing the pounds. He has given up the full version Coke and has sacrificed when I had too. He's pretty awesome if you ask me!

One of our family favorites (although we use ground turkey): ground meat 1 can of Rotel (any spice you like) About 1 tbsp. of Mrs. Dash Savory seasoning sprinkle of garlic and pepper Cook meat throughly. Drain some of the juice from the Rotel and mix about 1/2 tsp of cornstarch with the reserved juice. Mix it till it…

Welcome honey! I'm glad you decided to hop on board! Here's to our continued success! Love you mucho grande!! :love:

I don't know the exact start date that the H20 Challenge was issued because I didn't start till last week. I weigh in on Sunday's religiously and will only count what the scale says on that day, so, I am going to post back to Aug. 15 cuz this is week three. Here are the stats! 8/15 - 231.5 8/22 - 230.5 8/29 - 228.4 9/5 -…

Weigh in day is Sunday for me and hoping, hoping, hoping that the weight loss I saw on Wed. will either stay the same or go DOWN!!!! Excited about this challenge because it will push me and I am so glad I read this post because I am feeling unmotivated today! Now I guess I will get up and go walk 3 miles like I should have…

The right amount of potassium is good for your heart and muscles. Potassium balances the PH in your blood and is an electrolyte. It helps your muscles recover quicker from a good workout. Search the internet for potassium rich foods but do consult your doctor before you take a supplement. Beans, bananas, blackjack…

I eat 100-200 of my exercise calories. If I try to stick close to my calorie goal (not net cals) I will plateau or gain. If your daily calorie intake is 1,200 and you gain an extra 550 from exercise, then try to mix it up a little....say eat 1,400 one day and then the next eat 1,300 and then the next 1,500...etc..etc...if…

Thanks for the welcome all! I'm excited about this challenge because it will have me pushing for my next goal of being under 200 by the New Year. (I can't even remember the last time I was under 200 *sigh*) I hit a plateau a few weeks ago and got on the Wii balance board yesterday, and if it stays the same on weigh in day…

I agree with the above statements. I eat what my family eats but I cook healthier things. Homemade turkey burgers (NOT the frozen kind) are very versatile and we love them. We have all cut back on the starchy carbs (pasta, potatoes...etc). We drink fat free milk and use the light version of salad dressing. It is a learning…

I would so like to join this challenge!! Brunettewife told me about it and I have been looking for another challenge. I just completed a burn 20,000 calories for the month of August challenge and am starting a burn 25,000 cals for September challenge but wanted something else. This would be an awesome way to keep me…

I think what he may be referring to is the fact that on most TV shows if there are females from Hawaii, they are usually named Leilani. I think it is a beautiful name but very popular as far as TV goes.

Hi Becky! Congrats on making the decision to be healthier! :) Seems we all are in the 40's on this thread! I just turned 43 and made the decision that I was NOT going to be overweight any longer. I want to be around to see my grandbabies born!! I love MFP! It has been such an eye opener for me and has motivated me to make…
