Tazo organic chai tea (the whole tea leaves in the cloth bag sold in the tin); and Yogi Kombucha tea. My 2 favorites!

Love my fitbit. I wear it all the time except for showering. I use it more as a motivation tool for me to up my activity. It does register stairs when you climb hills - which is ok with me because I'm still getting that uphill burn. I haven't noticed any difference with regular car rides to and from work. It is not 100%…

ME TOO!!

Ha!! love this! I'm going to use it too! Thanks!! Cry fat cry! :sad:

I recently had x-rays done because my lower back pain is so bad. I have two bulging discs, and sleeping with a pillow between my knees and also pressed against the small of my back helps a lot. (even though my husband accuses me of building fort knox around me!! :tongue: :ohwell: ) One of the key helps to this is…

Hello all, I haven't been here for most of last month. The days are busy and they just got away from me. We also lost our dog 2 weeks ago and that really put me in a funk. I'm still losing but for the last 4 weeks it's been 1 lb a week. I'll take it as long as it's in the right direction! It's been incredibly warm this…

Love my fitbit. Wear it clipped inside the middle of my bra and I forget I even have it on sometimes. I love that it synchs with MFP, and it totally motivates me to put in more steps, be more active, and climb more stairs! I'm so addicted to it now that it is kind of like my cell phone - I feel lost without it! I like that…

"We start from where we are" not from where we wish we could be or where we think we should be.

loved it! Laughed so hard it had me hiccupping up tempo! ;-)

Mine is open. Just don't look at yesterday. :tongue: Wednesdays are weigh in days for me and the only day I feel free to have something I wouldn't normally have.

Oh I love salsa too - not only do I put it on my eggs, but I dip pepper slices, celery, carrots, cucumbers - any veggies I can and use salsa as a dip! As for my eggs, when I make an omelette I use one large brown organic cage free egg, and 1/3 cup egg whites, with some purple onion, red bell pepper, a little garlic pepper…

Good morning all~ One of the things I love most about this group is how much we can relate to each other and each others' circumstances because of where we are in life. I have 3 sons, all grown now, and the youngest (21) is getting married this summer, and the oldest (34) is getting married in September. The middle son is…

LOL this is all hilarious. Dr. Barry Sears of the Zone Diet states in his book that you will know you're in the "ZONE" when your poop floats! Apparently, I am not in the Zone right now. LOL :indifferent: Gives a whole new meaning to "zoning out" though doesn't it? lol :laugh: Person outside the bathroom door to the person…

Bumping my spot up! Been MIA for a couple days here! Just hit my 10 lb mark today! whoo hoo. go me! lol :happy: I've been busy but trying to skim the posts to keep up a little. You ladies are awesome!! Janice

I use the pasteurized All Whites to make protein smoothies with frozen fruit like peaches and berries. They are pretty tasty and provide enough protein for what I need right now. The whole egg is better when making an omelet or using it hard boiled in a salad. The only suggestion I would make is that you buy organic cage…

Good Friday afternoon all~ ! I am so happy this is Friday and the end of this work week. Although I have a busy weekend ahead of me - aside from cleaning it's all fun stuff though. :) My nephew, his wife and their 1 year daughter just moved here to Colorado from Connecticut this month, so Sunday we are having a "Welcome to…

So is this your breakfast or in addition to your breakfast?

Thank you Laura! We only got a trace of snow here too. Just enough to cover the grass, make the roads wet, and track mud into the house. :ohwell: Where in CO are you located? Welcome Jan in NJ! You've landed in a great place here! :happy: Back to work! :smile: Janice

Good morning wonderful ladies, I've been mia on here for a few days. Just busy and no time to post really. (not even now but I wanted to get a more recent post on here!!) I was very disappointed in my weigh in yesterday and only lost 1 pound. Since it's only my 3rd week I was hoping for more than that - but I'm at least…

I remember when I used to park as close to the entrance of a store/office as possible. Now I take the parking spot the farthest away to get in more steps! :happy: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I remember when I used to resist taking naps - Now I would like to reclaim all those naps I fought against as a little kid!

PS - meant to say about the sugar -- I too have a very active sweettooth which has been my great downfall over the years. Once I get a taste of it it makes me want more - and afterwards I feel horrible - sluggish and lethargic. I even stopped using Splenda because it only makes me crave the sweet even more. I've switched…

Good morning ladies! Boy today sure would have been a perfect sleep in day with the fresh dusting of snow and chilly temps. I wasn't one of the fortunate ones to get today off so off I rushed to work! At least the traffic was light. I have only had time to skim through the posts - such a lively bunch here!! I love it !!…

It is a tracker that I wear all day (and night) that tracks my activity levels, my steps, #of flights of stairs I've climbed, calories burned, and my sleep patterns. It interfaces with MFP so that the food I track on here is updated on my fitbit account to put the two things together for a total picture. You can see what…

Good morning all~ I am SO thankful it's Friday! I have not slept well at all this week averaging between 4 and 5 hours of sleep each night (and not consecutive hours together which is probably why I'm so tired!), and I will be glad not to have to get up with the 5:30AM alarm tomorrow morning. :smile: It is great to read…

ha! I kept wondering why I was seeing posts everywhere with nothing but the word "bump" in them, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it meant! Now I get it. duh!!! :blushing:

Good morning all! Stopping by to see how everyone is! JB very cool poem! I love it! Laura thank you for the welcome! Nice to meet another Coloradan. I live up in Longmont, and have for just about 12 years now. I "transplanted" from Connecticut, and except for the family that I have back there, I have no desire to go back.…
