I joined last year, obsessed to the point I wouldn't even chew gum without entering it. I was analyzing every darn thing. It worked for me though because I lost 30 lbs. I took a break over the Summer and just came back in a serious way with logging my food and I can already see myself obsessing again. It's only been a…

For me .. I drink my coffee black, no sweets (actually very little sweets, I will eat a weight watchers brownie now and again) no soft drinks at all .. regular or diet. I don't eat sugary cereals, I don't add sugar to anything like oatmeal or my tea or coffee. For everything else I just read the labels to get a good idea…

Try Diet orange crush .. it's sweetened with Splenda instead of Aspartame. I just gave up pop a week ago. Gaah it isn't easy .. especially since my husband has the fridge stocked with cola. Could be the caffeine too. I used to get that way after drinking coffee many years ago.

I would choose the gym membership. You said your friends are members there so you'd always have a workout buddy. Gyms have other equipment in the event you get bored with the home gym set up. Probably and indoor track as well?

Good job. It's amazing what a little food tweaking can do.

Well done!! Congrats. You look great!

Congratulations!!!! :flowerforyou:

Done:glasses:

I just joined as well. Maggie Magnolia (my Facebook alias of sorts)

I used to be a double double girl (2 cream,2 sugar) but this last year I've grown to love black coffee.

Welcome!! :flowerforyou:

I will look into farmers markets to see what's available this time of year. I think there might be a weekend one that's outside so it may not be open right now. We'll see :) I prefer organic because I have pcos and the fewer chemicals in my food the better. Hard to accomplish since almost everything is packaged in plastics…

I'd go to the gym too. I don't have that option but if I did I think I'd be a permanent fixture at some point through the day.

I didn't have my HRM when I painted. I painted my daughters bedroom, the spare room, upstairs hallway, down the stairs, downstairs hallway, living room and kitchen. in less than a week and had the 24-hour flu in there as well. Makes me wonder what the calorie burn was.

Sadly, I don't do anything (but I probably should .. just don't know what) I'm a stay at home mom and house wife so my days are spent keeping my daughter happy, cleaning house and working out. Nothing glamorous at all.

We have 2 as well. The main family tree and my daughter has her own 3 foot pink one. I'm so glad our cats leave the trees alone. This is their first Christmas and I was imagining them climbing the tree and getting into trouble.

Welcome!! This is a great place. You'll be thankful you found it once those 30 lbs are gone :) Good luck!

I know a lot of horses and some are nippy and cantankerous. I was bit on the boob by a pony once. That's something I'll never forget. Seriously! (you can stop laughing now! ) :tongue:

Right now I'm reading the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. I'm on Shopaholic and Sister right now. I still have to buy Shopaholic and Baby and Mini Shopaholic to finish the set.

a gift basket of goodies from Bath and Body Works (or somewhere similar). Lotions and potions are always lovely :) a gift certificate for a mani/pedi or a massage.

Yay!! Awesome ego boost.

Welcome back!

Thanks for the great info. I`m fine in the sugar dept. Salt is usually under 900 .. which seems high? Calcium may be a good option to track.

Awesome! Definitely report back. I really want to try it but I need more reviews first. Have a great night!

Those sodium numbers are shocking. I agree .. you have to cut that way back because it retains water and other bad things (raises blood pressure, but you know that). Burn off those calories :)

Welcome and best of luck :flowerforyou:

It's Friday night. Just finished up a little 20 minute workout to end the day (total burn of 956 today), now I'm sitting here watching the Wiggles. Who is jealous? I forget what a social life is like, lol Hitting the shower soon and then get my cozy pajamas on and relax for the remainder of the night.

Diet pop (soda / soft drinks) make me bloated so I avoid them. I'm not against them completely but I just prefer to be comfortable in my body and being boated is NOT comfortable, lol I will on occasion have a diet orange crush, it's sweetened with Splenda, not Aspartame. For me, personally, water and herbal teas are my…

You have accomplished a lot in 11 months. Congrats, you look amazing!

Way to go! You look fantastic!
