AMEN!!!

In response to mayo: plain greek yogurt ... Also, for veggies dip: plain greek w/ ranch seasoning. Cut up veggies/fruits asap - place in containers in the fridge. I find when I open the fridge I just have to take a grape out of our bowls. Celery and carrots keep very well - replaced them over chips. 100 cal popcorn,…

Thank you!!! I looked up some videos on Youtube. I think I might incorporate them into my routines.

I did the same thing. Helps to keep me more accountable. If I'm too ashamed to post it, then I shouldn't be eating it. Also, for this past Lent, I quit cold turkey (junk food, soda, fast food, etc). Trust me, it wasn't easy at first. I can't even believe I went that long with no chocolate!?!?! Before Lent, any of my…

AWESOME!!! We have several flavors at home. A little bit is all you need, trust me!

Life gets in the way. I try and schedule everything. I feel sometimes that people/work/drama tries to derail me. If you're finding it hard to work in exercising try to schedule it or schedule with a friend to help keep you accountable. I used my mom as my buddy. We keep each other accountable to meet at the gym or a walk…

I completely understand! I gave up all junk food, sodas, chips, etc for Lent. And wouldn't you know the scale didn't even move except up a few ounces???? Yea, I hear ya!! :mad:

I'd like to open an animal/dog shelter like the Best Friends Society. I'd also like to donate to the St Jude's or other similar childrens networks.

I had the same problem. For some reason, all my body wants to do is hold on to it.

Do you have a set of free weights or a stability ball at home? I like to do my weight/ab routine as I'm watching my favorite shows I recorded throughout the week.

Thanks ladies for letting me vent!!!

O wow!! That's an interesting thought! I will have to try this concept :smile:

It does suck!! I hate it. Eating my veggies, protein, and working out has helped me tremendously!! But it's still around at times :mad:

First off - I have to say I LOVE your pic!! Mama bear!! :smile: I think we all end up that way some how. I'm getting closer to 30, and while I'm young, I know, I'm not as young as I used to be. I don't feel thirty, but my body is telling me I'm no longer a teen. I can no longer just sit in front of the tv and not gain an…

Yay!! I'm started it again. Added it back to my routine. Thanks for the motivation!

Oh man ... I remember the days at 16. Never thought about what I was eating, doing, etc ... Getting to be about 30 soon ... My life has changed drastically!! You'll get there!! I wish you lots of luck!! :happy:

AMEN!!

Biggest advice that was "asked" of me was: PAUSE ... THINK/ASK YOURSELF ..."ARE YOU HUNGRY? WHAT'S DRIVING YOUR EMOTIONAL ISSUE?" It's not easy, and I wouldn't say I'm totally over it. Food can be comfort - or a relief - especially around that time of month. I notice when I'm more stressed, tired, or bored I eat horribly.…

I tried the Self site too. I think MFP is way better and I'd never leave. LOL

IF IT WEREN'T FOR OUR COUNTRY OR OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN, THIS CHURCH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE FREE TO PROTEST WHAT EVER THEY BELIEVE. FOR THAT, THEY SHOULD BE SHOWING RESPECT. Schools? Funerals? Etc ... If they are that upset, the time and place is down in DC in front of the White House. Show our political leaders, not…

WHAT?!?! Really?? What now????? What POSSIBLY is the reason now?

I've been breaking out on my chest lately from sweat. I use a salicylic acid wash. Be careful with Benzoyle peroxide - it stains everything! My towels, sheets, clothes. I use it for my face but not my body. I've been using Neutrogena Deep clean cleanser scrub (blue stuff) twice a week and St Ives Green Tea cleanser daily…

Depending on the relationship (friends or boyfriends) ... Sometimes you need to take some time out and just grieve, wallow, allow yourself some pity time. It's never something that's easy - even when things are mutual (in my case). After some time, then start to get back at it one by one. Start by getting out of bed each…

AMEN!! I'm stressed and my nerves are shot, but my motivation is that it's going to be about 80 degrees here today, I can't wait to clock out and go take a run outside!! - For health and happiness :flowerforyou: And life is WAY too short not to live it up! Happy Monday to you!!

In my case, it's a competition. "What size are you now? I'm a size (lower than you)". "How many calories are you eating? I'm eating (enter lower calories here)". "How many calories did you burn last night at the gym? I burned (enter higher calories here)". "This is what I do - you should be doing it too." I think you are…

Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Ruby Tuesday Chicken Broccoli Pasta None of which I can really have. But every so many months, it's a treat :happy:

FANTASTiC!!!!

Omg ladies! I forgot about the holes worn through my pants/jeans. O yea, I get that too. It's not as bad as it used to be ... Either I got better jeans or losing a few inches helped that one.
