Soooooo, I work at a school where we have a wonderful teacher who has an awesome husband who loves to bake. This man can bake & bake & bake. He makes the best kind of wonderful tortures on a daily basis. And there these tasty lil treats sit in the staff lounge waited to be devoured...mmmmm...cupcakes, breads, cookies,…

I joined MFP a few months back & I know I'm not using it to its fullest potential so this year, I plan to make full use of this site & hope to make a few great friends along the way :) I'm 4' 9 1/2"....stuck at 130lbs I lost about 5lbs but so far nothing else is budging...grrrrr My 2012 plans include: running 10ks (I ran…

It's important to choose the same weigh in date every week or every other week. Example: every Sunday. Weigh in at the same time, or as close to the same time each time. What you are attempting to do is to create the same situation/environment each & every time to help avoid discrepencies. So you want to emulate everything…

This is fun!! I love to see what others have so I can add to my menu: 1: fresh spinach 2. walknuts/almonds 3. light silk 4. canned tuna 5. cannec stewed tomatoes 6. oranges 7. FRS 8. jalapenos 9. brown rice 10. tilapia/salmon

humor is always a plus!!!

I buy Truvia which is made with Stevia....it's natural...tastes great...looks like regular granulated sugar. It's pretty potent to so not much is required....:) I don't use it often because I still try to stick to adding more natural sweetners that come from fresh fruits :)

I definately spend more time here than I do on FB....this place is addicting in a very good way....FB is way to much drama....MFP is inspiring....:) Love it here!!

Celebrate your victory of a .8 loss!! Woo hoo!! Keep it up!! Slow & steady gets the job done!! :)

Don't forget the reduction in your daily caloric intake....that PLUS your workouts....even if you don't lose a pound a week, your average may be a pound a week. Like Venus suggested, increasing your workout duration will definately increase your caloric burn as well as increasing the number of times you workout. :) Good…

try complex carbs: barley & brown rices are a great start. I agree with everyone else: PROTEIN. As a former carb junky, I now tend to lean more towards proteins. And almonds & walnuts are a great way to ward of the munchies if you need a quick lil snack. Which meal are you looking at adding more carbs to?

Please feel free to add me....I love love food!! I've recently (re)discovered EATing CLEAN....it's a great way to eat & there are so many food varieties. Essentially this diet consists of eating foods in their most natural state. Definately take advantage of your veggies. I don't buy all the same veggies in the same week.…

okay, I added myself to the spreadsheet, gonzalezmona...duplicated it & not sure how to fix it...HELP...I am pretty computer illiterate....not good....happy to part of this group....love the first easy peasie challenge!! :)

Plain almonds & walnuts are the best way to go if you are looking at adding a "nutty" variety to your menu. I read some where, I foreget exactly where...thinkin' OXYGEN or some other health magazine, but anyways, 23 almonds a days is good for belly fat. Don't know how they came up with that number. I put a few nuts in my…

In 2012, I turn 40...I'm sooooo looking forward to it!! 40 is a number, but it doesn't own me....I feel healthier now than I ever did in my 20's....:)

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL for such great success!! I cannot wait to join in your ranks in 2012!! Here's to many more pounds of loss in 2012!! :)

I want your arms!! They looks so awesome!! Well, all of you looks great!! :)

I pay $24.99 a month @ Gold's Gym...full access. I think it's a pretty good rate. :)

I would love to join in this challenge as well!! :smile:

I really hope not to ruffle any additional feathers towards a topic that obviously many are quite passionate about. Dare I venture to say that if one already knows that carbs can cause an increase in blood sugars & its probably best NOT to follow the doctor's orders than why follow them? I would merely suggest "LISTENING"…

When I get cravings I will drink a Sparks or an FRS...both are energy drinks wth lots of super Bs which are the building blocks of energy....also, almonds & walnuts...great for a snack & they fit perfectly in your pocket....filled with lots of good fats...how much water are you drinking? Water is not only great for the…

Roooooaaarr!! Sounds like a fire has started!! Remember this is for YOU!! :tongue:

I just bought the Shed & Shred...looks awesome as it combines many different styles of cardio: kickboxing, etc...she's very motivational & there are 2 30 minute workouts....I'm doing the shed & shred for 30 days then swapping with my sis for the 30ds. I'm sure you will achieve great results with either Jillian…

Good luck to you always!! Need some extra support, please feel free to add me :)

I suggest looking forward to the present, here & now. Yesterday is gone so can't do much about it. You already over ate & have admitted it. Place your focus on your goals & how you intend to reach those. Perhaps set up mini goals for yourself: reachable & attainable ones. Most importantly is NOT TO GIVE UP!! The journey…

Hi!! Hope it's not to late to join in!! I'm 4' 9 1/2" cw: 132 gw 118 or at least 120, depending on how I look. I've been stuck at 130 for quite a while now. It can get pretty discouraging when those numbers don't budge...grrrrr.....:)

Might wanna check out your vitamins as wel, especially those with "metabolism" boosting abilitiesl....when are you taking them? Are you taking them with foods or seperate? Also, what type of vitamins are you taking?

You look absolutely fantastic!! :)

close....:)

You are far to kind!! :)
