What weight do you mean by heavy? Starting at.....10lbs? More? I'm asking honestly. I am doing my cardio but I really like doing the sculpting/toning in the middle of it and if I could add some "heavy lifting" I think it would be even more fun for me. I want to work this layer of fat off and have some nice tone waiting to…

There are these cookies I have found at several different grocery stores now called WhoNu? and they taste EXACTLY like Oreos but they have been loaded with protein and fiber and vitamins! 3 are 150 calories and I sometimes will have 3 with my lunch as a dessert. Very good and satisfies my sweet tooth!

I cooked the quinoa first and set it aside. Then I browned some lean ground turkey and added some taco seasoning. Then I added some no salt added kernel corn and diced tomatoes. After they cooked up a few minutes I added the quinoa to the dish and it was awesome!!

And the Zombies won't know what hit them cause.... [img][/img]

Those were for a challenge in Nerd Wars! They are very cool! I started out crocheting as a kid so I am much faster at it BUT my knitting is better I think. It probably wouldn't be too hard to make those patterns for knitting.....

Cool! I will post pics once I am finished. Are you on Ravelry.com? That is where Nerd Wars is and the patterns are awesome! A ton of Tadis, zombie, vampire....just all kinds of "geeky" patterns.

Anyone remember the 80's TV show Beauty and the Beast? With Linda Hamilton. They have it on Netflix, only some of the episodes :grumble: but George R.R. Martin worked on the show and he is in one of the episodes! It was fun to watch them after not seeing them for so long. Plus I :heart: Vincent!

Hi! I'm Amalthia and my superpower is knitting.....I taught myself almost exactly 2 years ago now and I am having a pattern published later this year. And I have been playing a game called "Nerd Wars" on another site and you knit items that fit into your team and answer a challenge. Last round I was on Team Hellmouth ,…

My husband's best friend had a Star Wars book dedicated to him. We have a large comic book and Star Wars collection....plus we met online on a message board for the show LOST ......we are total nerds and proud of it! Sending friend request, lol

Great job!!

We are going to the local Japanese Steakhouse. I figured if we see it all cooked fresh it has to be better than anything processed or fast food. I am going to log what I eat tomorrow but I am not going to stress about it too much.

I haven't heard that one! I like to get a hot shower after and kind of keep stretching in there and slowly bring my temp down.

I'm 5'6" and have a goal of 150! I have about 125lbs to go!

I think it is always best to surround yourself with people that support you in a healthy way. In real life and on the internet. So if they are not willing to make healthy decisions then you can to make a healthy one and unfriend them. You don't have to hate them or say anything mean but you need all the help and support…

Great job!! I know how hard that is and you SHOULD be proud of yourself!! Keep up the good work!!!

Fantastic job!!! It has got to be great to see all your hard work pay off!

First, you look fantastic at that weight! So you are NOT aiming for something unhealthy. And any time a family member brought it up I would turn the subject back on them. Something like "I'm sorry you think living a healthier life is not a good idea for me. Have you thought about why your ideas of healthy and fit might be…

Adding baking soda to your shampoo just before putting it into your hair will help too. Or putting tomato paste in your hair and leave it on for 30 min them rinse. :) And congrats on the hard work!!!!! You are a true inspiration!!!

I am enjoying making a shake with Jillian Michael's whey protein powder. I slice up a banana the night before and freeze it. I put it and the powder and some milk or water in a blender and it tastes great! So far I have only tried her Vanilla cream flavor but I am getting some of the chocolate next time!

Hi! I'm Emily and I have been knitting for 2 years this Feb. I learned to crochet when I was little so now I like doing some of both. And for Christmas I got a spinning wheel and have been having a blast making my own yarn!! I'm also on Rav and a member of Nerd Wars. :happy: In early Jan. I went to the Dr for my yearly and…

Are you eating enough? I find I get sluggish if I don't eat at least some of my exercise cals back. If you are not getting enough calories your body will not have the energy!

Amazing work! You are a true inspiration!!!

Awesome!!!! You look great!!

People gain weight by doing, or not doing, different things so it stands to reason that it can take different things to lose that weight. I have never eaten too much. I have had no problem staying UNDER my calories. My problem is eating ENOUGH each day. By doing that I am now 300lbs. Before finding this site I never had…

Awesome results!! Thanks for sharing!

I am eating my exercise cals back too! I never understood before how was able to get so fat when I barely ate anything ever! Well now I know and after actually feeding my body for 3 weeks I feel great!!! My clothes are already fitting better and I have so much more energy!

Also having a ceramic interior pan means IF you have to use anything you need MUCH less!

Cracker Barrel- Grilled Chicken Tenderloins. They are very tasty and only 170 cals!

Also interested in anyone's experiences with this. We love juice but any way to make something myself has got be better!

Way to go!!!!!! Yay!!! Be proud of yourself!
