Hey there!! I just read your profile!!!! You are allergic to wheat??? !!! do you have Celiac or a gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy?? Really doesn't matter, but I would suggest that this might be a BIG BIG reason you are having trouble. There is wheat and gluten in way too many things that we do not even think about.…

Husbands (men) try to show us how much they love us and support us. Sometimes they don't do it exactly how we want them too. Love him for trying - he knows they are one of your favorite and probably thought the small box would not be big enough to show you he listens and cares. I would take it as him not supporting you,…

Thanks for posting the question ~~ and Thanks for all the great responses!! I am working in my house on my bike and elliptical and my goal is to get outside the end of March and start running. I choose the end of March for a couple of reasons, but one big one is that I am in Alberta Canada, and hoping by then it won't be…

YUP!! What usually helps is not tying my shoes as tight as usual. Then when they start going numb - lift your foot for a few steps, to relieve some pressure. The more you are on the elliptical the less often it will happen. Sometimes my feet don't bother me at all and other times it isn't until 45 - 50 minutes, it use to…

Oh - I so want to get some gooey chocolates, but - they don't have the 'good' store in the town I live. Hubby and I have both been changing our eating habits so He is making dinner and I am in charge of dessert. That and a bottle of wine and hoping a quiet evening together. Have fun and enjoy your planned 'pigout' day. You…

I agree, we are here to help and what are your goals. Also agreeing with the focus of 10 lbs at a time, one month at a time and even one day at a time. I sure wish it was easier to reach our goals and be able to do and say everything perfect , but if we are trying and helping ourselves and helping each other, we will all…

You will not regret it!! It was one of the first things I bought my daughter when she moved out. They are not as expensive as they use to be and they are in all shapes, sizes and prices! Have fun cooking.

I am guessing that no one posting on here is a type 1 diabetic or lives with someone who is. To the original poster - 100 calories of pure sugar a day is not going to ruin your lifestyle plan of eating, for you and others, if you don't have your 'treat' you may very well binge one day and that would not be great. Yes - a…

I am always surprised at how many people think it is expensive to eat 'healthy'. A bag of apples costs the same or less than a bag of chips. A bag of frozen veggies cost the same as a bag of frozen fries. WOW - do people not eat proper portion sizes. Our family eats healthy, we don't have a lot of money and with health…

In the summer I will log some gardening - lawn mowing, digging etc... because it isn't a daily thing and then I log about 1/2 the time. I will also log some 'heavy cleaning or moving furniture' when I give the house or a room a big makeover cleaning. I do not move the furniture and vacuum the furniture etc. or wash walls…

My goal is to be outside running again by the end of March!! I keep looking at the kettle bells, but haven't got any yet. Let us know how the dvd is!! I am glad I am the techno around here, and it is so basic!

Walk in place for 10 min a couple of times a day. Do extra squats while you are doing dishes. When grocery shopping, do some bicep curls with the melons. You always, always have some extra moments (not hours) to add some extra exercise to your day. You are young that YES only counting calories will help you lose pounds.…

So true ~~~ and when you hit that wonderful magical age that the body decides it wants you to work harder, or you have other health issues that can add pounds just by watching a food ad on t.v.!! You need to really have a great fitness plan in place, not just a great eating plan. This is a Lifestyle and if you are only…
