if you can think it then you can do it and you can't control the actions of others, but you can control your reactions :smile:

:happy: You look amazing! Way to go and congrats on all your hard work

My hubby too works out of town and is only home on weekends so I don't do my workouts on the weekends, instead I spend time with family, fishing, and working in the yard

Slow cookers are amazing :) I would be lost without my slow cooker and george foreman grill :). WTG :)

Signed... those poor animals. I have two animals in my home that came from rescued situations. The worst was my poor cat who was locked in a room and starved for 6 weeks. She is the most loving creature I have ever met, but the medical bills because of the permanent damage has been alot. The other my dog, my best friend.…

Hi I was diagnosed with crohn's disease 12 years ago, though had it all my life, just took me that long to finally see the doctor. There is some really good books out there that will help to both understand and reduce flare ups. Eating Right For a Bad Gut by James Scala (One of my first books) The First Year: Crohn's…

This is how I feel too. I have 9 pounds to go to finally reach that goal weight I set for myself 3 1/2 years ago LOL Can't understand why my boobies are so quick to get rid of the inches but my butt is like NO WAY WOMAN LOL

I always add lemon pepper to it :)

this, I just don't understand what you are trying to find out. It sounds a little risky to me.

I must have been under the same rock, never heard of that before I joined MFP and I lost 90 without eating back my workout calories. If I try I gain so I do my very best to stay between 1200 and 1300 calories and fill my day with as much activity as I can.

I would suggest going to the doctor and making sure your potassium levels are right. If they are fine then at least you can talk about your diet and see what he/she may suggest for you. Good luck.

I'm a certified herbalist and have studied the medicial qualities of herbs for over ten years and have yet to find the research that states that garlic is bad. Maybe put a link to your research so that people can read what you are reading. Just saying that's all.

whew just start level two lower today. Hurt like heck and walking to the store after was a little interesting LOL. I am mostly following the schedule only I am doing my own upper body workout. :) But can sure feel my poor rump today LOL

I have crohn's disease and I can tell you what you described is a normal day for me most days. Imodium is a lifesaver. Also Metamucil, it takes a while to get used to the flavor, but really really helps with the cramps and other symptoms. I agree with others when they say stick close to home so that you are always near a…

I eat primal, and also cheated the last two weekends, I want to stick to full primal for the rest of my life but will start with a 30 day challenge feel free to add me and we can motivate eat other :)

I think everyone will find that they have a friend like that in their lives when the circumstances arrises. I had a friend tell me once after we started losing weight together and I started losing more then her that I shouldn't have had to lose so much since I had such a pretty face. My response was ya well now I want the…

add me I have lost 90 pounds to date and have 10 left to reach my orginal goal :)

The Butt Bible you can watch it on youtube You do level 1 for two week, level 2 for two weeks, level 3 for 2 weeks. Lower level mondays, upper levels on tuesday, rest or cardio on wed, then lower thursday, upper friday, rest on weekends. It is tough but I just finished my first two weeks of level one and am already seeing…

I don't think that is too bad, there is worst out there. I used to be totally hooked on pop, I gave all forms up for over 2 years, then fell off the wagon and started again. I decided that since I had restricted so many other things that I would keep my pop only I made the switch to diet. And now it feels like I am normal…

I make mine with one whole egg, salsa, seasonings, and half burger and italian sauage. Cooked great and tasted really good.

Hi beth I'll add you, also fellow canadian from saskatchewan whoop whoop go canada :)

:laugh: :laugh: love it :laugh:

for me it is mid morning. After I wake up have a coffee maybe a glass of water and get fully alert. If I weigh in middle of the day or evening, yikes not good :) So I don't now just the mornings, but I confess I will weigh myself up to three times a week

MIne too has been people asking me what pill I was on. For some reason they had a hard time accepting that I dropped 90 pounds by simple diet and exercise. I try to tell them all the time that I didn't start a diet I changed my life, but they still want to know what the magic pill was. Now I say water, veggies and lots of…

You can prove that doctor wrong :) I went through menopause early due to a hysterectomy. It is call surgical menopause and it came on hard and fast. I managed to lose 90 pounds regardless of the menopause. If a doctor had told me that I probably would have thought what's the point only because they are a doctor right and…

first congrats to your wife:) 35 pounds is amazing! I started my weight loss 3 years ago weighing in at 240, now a 150 and I hit a few plateau along the way too. I zig-zagged my calories after the first 40 pounds dropped and I hit my first plateau. I switched between 1200 and 1500 calories all the time. On my cheat night I…

Children can really be cruel. I am from a family of all girls who have all had battles with weight and eating. My mom used to tell us when we were little that the world would be an awfully boring place if everyone looked the same, and sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt us. Now as an adult I find…

I don't have a pictures but one of the favs in this house is fried green beans with real bacon bits. Steam your green beans until just tender 3-5 minutes. Fry your bacon until crispy, reserve about 2 tablespoons of the fat and strain the bacon. Add the reserved bacon fat to the frying pan and toss in your green beans, cook…

I would love to go without a bra but I am fairly large and even though I have lost a lot of weight over the last 3 1/2 years it wasn't enough to really allow for the braless look.

I don't think it is terrible to vent a little about this. I remember a guy at my gym that looked like one of those professional body builders you see on TV oil and all. He loaded the weight machine up and got under it and started to lift. Half way through the lift he actually did the he-man warrior yell. My friend and I…
