you have a pretty smile

you like lager

Plan an active walk or something health related- and not food related for your mother's day get together- and it's only for you and your mother. Why do we always think holidays are about food? Its about celebrating your mom. as for your sister- why are you even dealing with her? Tell her exactly what you wrote here---…

fresh: lemon lime orange cucumber water is pretty much all i drink- but sometimes i look at adding those as a "treat"

This helped me. http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html oh and you need to try to eat more- you are putting your body into starvation mode under 1200 calories for an extended period of time

you look YEARS younger! BRAVO! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!!!

Sometimes the people you love the most sabotage you- whether it is active or passive. As you see success they may feel threatened by it- you are changing and change scares people. I have had to have the "stop sabotaging me" talk with a loved one- it wasn't fun and I felt guilty about it- but afterward I felt freed and more…

BLAH

have him put a ring on it before you do anything. you have a child- who must be priority-

you look YEARS younger-- I'm so happy for your health!

Wear workout clothes, bring a positive attitude, water bottle and towel and they will provide the instruction and supplies. If you're thinking Yoga- they will likely provide mats- but I like to bring my own. Don't be terrified- I promise you no one looks like the people in the videos! LOL- everyone is just trying to get…

Yep- works like a charm- and to be honest- once you "detox" yourself from them they will lose their control over you and wont taste as enticing! CRAZY- how this has changed my "Need" for them. and when I say detox- the first 3or so days you may feel like you are going through it- getting it out of your body- but then you…

you are crazyyyyyy!!! keep it up! RUN FOREST RUN!:laugh:

Thank you everyone for your input. I also put this question to my father who is a Physician Assistant- and in the meantime I had gone to the store and got some unsweetened almond milk and did 8 oz of that and only 1/2 serving of nestle quick- total carbs 4.5- I could tell instantly that the sugar pushed up my insuline…

I found this post very helpful. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/501511-great-read-on-plateau-ing

Get a Subway Roasted Chicken Salad- 130 Calories, 5g net carbs, add a packet of olive oil and vinegar- that's 110 more calories- and BAM- filling and nutritious! have a great day:flowerforyou:

Yup! you should see me right now- I'm covered in a fleece coat and drinking a cup of hot water!LOL- I'm FREEZING! My poor family- I keep the heat on 74! I take vitamin D every day and Iron every couple days- STILLLLLL COLLLLLLDDDDD

I really like the Biggest loser (vanilla) one. It has more sugar and carbs than a new one that I found by Jay Robb. Jay Robb has soooo much more protein and wayyyy less carbs- which means I've changed to that one. Jay Robb tastes sweeter though and I believe because it uses a different kind of artificial sweetener. The…

you have a great stomach :blushing:

the oatmeal, crasins, rasins and brown sugar are all sugar- sugar will make you more hungry. if oatmeal is your thing switch to one with low/no sugar, get rid of the other sugar items and add some walnuts in it. you are likely making your blood levels spike first thing in the morning- and therefore when you crash you want…

I'm great at dieting- and don't enjoy going to exercise. I'm learning balance- but here's what I've learned about food that is making it easier for me to avoid the cravings and may break it down easy for you. First- I've learned- I must eat a good "pre-workout" snack- sounds counter productive- but one hour before you go…

It depends on what kind of eating plan you are on. I am on a low carb diet- that said- oats and yogurt are out for now I do eggs and a meat protein- but if that doesn't satisfy you for about 3 hours- you could try a 1/2 of a deli flat and tablespoon of peanut butter- that is usually my preworkout snack- 1hr before I go…

no mrlazy I'm sorry I can't see your picture- I suspect its the computer I'm on- I should try on a different one

:smile: lacroyx- thank you for walking me through that! have an awesome day

On a private beach with a fruity drink- maybe Turtle Island?

Yes- I set one up but can't figure out how to have it automatically post when I comment on a message board? Do I have to copy and paste it each time I comment? I'm attempting to do that right now on this post- but boy that would be kind of extra work just to have it each time I comment- there must be a way for it to…

Oh! Thank you- I will try that link! I will also try to view on a different computer- maybe that's the prob!!

love me- not hard core body builder- but defined and lean- yes!

ABSOLUTELY TRUE! loves to latin dance.

A mom at our children's school told my husband "Hey! We should get the kids together for a play date." with a playful and VERY flirty "I'm not thinking about the kids" gesture--- he told her "No. I don't think my wife would like that!" and walked away.:laugh: Seriously in the moment of learning he said that- I loved him…
