I hear lots about beachbody on demand. I’m going to look into it 🤗

I don’t think a lunch workout will work for me. I love the idea but my workplace will have a conniption if I come back sweaty or in any way not presentable lol. But getting up a little earlier may be an option. I do have the ideas rolling around now. 😁 I will be able to eventually...right now my eldest plays weekend…

Currently, two medium boiled eggs, two multigrain waffles topped with fresh fruit (and a tablespoon of canned crushed pineapple) and lots and lots of coffee :) Also like, Go Lean cereal with added fresh fruit or shredded wheat with fresh fruit. And sometimes wheat/whole grain toast with pb and sliced banana. All are easy…

Its so wonderful he has you to help him out and for support. But it does seem like there are lots of health obstacles he is dealing with. I would encourage him to ask his doctor for advice. If indeed he does have cancer, his doctor can custom make a diet for him to follow that would allow him to loose weight and could…

You look terrific and I loved your story. Your smile says it all :) Thanks for sharing...what an inspriation!

No calories in Diet Coke...it's made with artificial sweetners, not sugar. BUT, it's still not good for you. Read up. Your body does not know how to process anything artificial so it does more damage than you might imagine. Here is an article about the effects of that stuff. My suggestion is to stick with water or green…

I've had a homemade vegetarian lasangna that was to die for. I'm sure you can find several recipes on the net. Also, I know it's spring, but vegetarian chili is good too...Cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers (just leave out the beef and add extra brown rice). Not sure how formal your trying for, but grilled cheese sammies and…

I also pack lunches in the summer. We go on weekend/day trips all the time and I pack up a iced cooler full of bottled water, greek yogurt, sliced turkey, (sometimes all natural peanut butter), cheese, wheat bread, and fruit (bananas, blueberries, apples, strawberries, melons...just about anything). You can also slice up…

Most of my dinners are aound 400 calories. I love chicken enchiladas. Low carb tortilla shells (60 cals each...can't think of the brand name?) with shredded chicken, diced peppers and onions. Topped with enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes and sprinkled with some shredded cheese. Throw it in the over for about 20 minutes and…

I agree with what the others said. Get some 'Me" time in. I do everynight- I walk the dog for thirty minutes (even in the dark in the dead of winter) and it clears my head. I feel so much better when I get home. Then when the kids go to bed, I take an hour before my own bedtime to relax, watch TV, read books, magazines,…

I really like the organic Cascadian bars. I really don't know if they are healthier than a pop tart, but they sure taste a lot better. Pop tarts are nasty! :) I have one of the bars when I'm on the run and I don't have time to put something together. And I'm always on the run, it seems!

Celery sticks or cucumber slices? Both have a nice crisp, crunch feel when eating them. I also like radishes and turnips but I know those are not for everyone.

Happens to all of us. I've had a few of these days myself. I've learned to wake up the next day and move on. Put in an extra workout this week if you can and that will help you feel much better!

Thanks! I just bought some quinoa last grocery trip. I tried a sort of salsa/quinoa recipe and it was so good! I'll try this one too.

Thanks for all the good suggestions! I feel better about going now! :)

I think it's totally doable. It's an average of 8.3 pounds a month. In the beginning they probably lost over that in the first couple of months, more like 15 or 20lbs (maybe more?). Adding a little excersise to the equation and I can't see where it's completely attainable with a motivated mind. I have a friend that lost…

yep.. here too. I same issue.

This happened to me when I first started. Actually I gained a pound! I was so upset. But I hung in there and within a couple of weeks, the numbers started dropping. First only by a pound then it was steadily dropping by 2 pounds per week. I think the first couple of weeks your body is adjusting to new changes and you have…

I had the same problem a few years ago. I would wake up in the morning and pop myself a pepsi before I did anything. I slowly...very slowly...weaned myself from them. I did it because I found out how terrible they are for you (diet or regular). So, I went to just having my morning pepsi, and one in the evening. Then after…

YEP! I think the new year is the best time to start...holidays are behind us, winter is here so you don't have to worry about cook-outs and drinks on the patio with friends. Just stay indoors, work-out and eat right. I'm hoping to be 10 to 15 pounds lighter by spring! And tone some flab!

You look amazing. You look half the age of the girl you used to be. Way to go!

never mind...I see 5'5. Nice work. I aim to be that weight as well, but I'm an inch shorter.

You look amazing...how tall are you?

Oh and peanut butter is a great filler too. Just be sure to get the all natural stuff (Jiff brand is yummy!). Spread it on a whole grain english muffin fresh out of the toaster and it gets all melty and oh so good!

Greek yogurt and add some all natural granola, Go Lean Cereal with blueberries, turkey sausage with half slice cheese and a egg on a whole grain muffin...those are some of my favorites.

the fear of gaining it back! I find that it's on my mind constantly. ugh.

Sounds healthy enough. I almost always eat some yogurt for bfast...greek yogurt topped with a pinch of raisens and some kashi cereal. That is around 255 to 300 calories. However, I do think it's a good idea to get a bulk of your daily calories for breakfast, that sets you up for the day - keeps your engine revved. Food for…

I had a horrible day yesterday. I've hit a plateau so I was discouraged and took it out on food. But, I'm deteremined to get where I want to be, so today is a new day and I've made some changes that will hopefully have a positive result! Here's to a new day :)

This!^^

I tried this for a while, getting up early and working out. It just didn't pan out for me. Mornings are just not my thing. I have to be up and going for work and kids not later than 5:30, so getting up at 5 or before, wasn't in my mix. So now I just do it at night after dinner and before homework and bath's with the kids.…
