I'm pretty boring. 12 red, yellow, orange bell pepper and jalapeno plants. A cilantro plant. 3 kinds of tomato plants. 9 Sweet potato plants. 200 various types of onion plants. Spinach seeds. A dill plant. Basil plants. Bread. Grape tomatoes. :)

I can't really say what my goal weight is because I'm much more muscular than I was when I thought I looked 'ok' at 120lbs. Maybe 130-135? I'm not sure. Dress size is 8 now and I'm fine with that. My size 8 jeans are too tight since I've gained some, so I guess for those I'd have to say I'd like to be a size 6.

Laziness and eating too many calories.

My personal choice is Silk Light chocolate soymilk. 90 calories for 8 ounces and it's delicious. There is more protein and calcium than milk. Plus, there are no hormones or antibiotics that you may find in cow's milk. Organic would be even better.

49 for me and I still have very few at 53. My little sister's hair is all grey. She hates me. lol

I've never used the Ft7, but I LOVE my FT4. I've used it over a year now, logged over 1200 miles walking/jogging/biking/hiking and the battery is still working. No problems whatsoever. The manufacturer suggests that you machine wash the chest strap, but I just hand wash mine with antibacterial soap. It still looks new. I…

I'd have coffee for breakfast. Frozen diet dinners for lunch. Anything for dinner and then I snacked all night on junk and even ate in bed. Now I eat a ton more food, but It's healthier stuff and I stay full longer. I don't even think about food as much as I did when I was fat. :)

It can be done! I'm proof! You just have to get off your *kitten* and move. I have had fibro since I was 16 and I'm now 52. I've lost a lot of weight thru mfp the last year and a half by starting out walking for just 10 minutes. As I lost weight and found it easier to walk, I added more time and speed. Just last year I…

I garden a LOT and when I get blisters, I clean the area very well, let it dry and then spray it with Curad's spray on bandage. It doesn't look pretty but it works and keeps them from stinging. Warning: It burns like an sob until it dries. It's worth it though!

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's both sell concealed carry holsters and purses. I cannot wait until we have CC here. We already have one pistol and plan on buying a smaller one to take with me while running/hiking too. Enjoy your runs and stay safe. :)

Congratulations! Your dedication to changing your lifestyle has changed your life. I'm so happy for you! :flowerforyou:

Good for you! I lost 40lbs in 4 mths just by walking! It is exercise!

Spring/fall cleaning, YES. Loading the dishwasher, vacuuming, making beds, laundry.. NO. Yardwork YES Gardening YES, I burned nearly 1,000 cals transplanting over 700 strawberry plants last week! Shoveling snow YES Cleaning my pool NO, sweeping my driveway YES, but only because it's super long and takes me over an hour.…

I'm on high dose of calcium channel blockers. It's to control blood pressure and to keep my pulse down to prevent cluster migraines. I was only told that I needed to make sure I warm up slowly and take my time cooling down. For me, to get my pulse down from 160 to 120, I have to walk progressively slower in 5 minute…

IMO, it's nothing but an 'accepted' form of bulimia for people who binge and want to 'start over'. Shame, shame, shame!

I do a combo of trail running, treadmill running, jogging, walking and biking at least 4-5 times a week for 45-60 minutes each time, and lift 3 times a week.

Wow, a 44 for me. I'm kind of surprised since I'm a recovered anorexic. Hmm. Thanks for posting.

A small stroke in Nov. 2011, never seeing fat runners around here, runner's high & setting a goal to run for St. Jude's. OH YEAH, and YOU motivating me! Thank you!

Congratulations and YOU deserve this!

I can't stand organic because they do not 'brine' the meat. That is the extra 'water' and sodium that is added to regular chicken you buy. It makes it tender and juicier. A regular, organic chicken is tough, really tough. I suppose I could brine my own, but I'm too lazy.

I notice it, but I never say anything! That would be rude. What really gets me is when we go out to a restaurant and see what people (mostly obese) order, then eat. OMG> First comes the greasy appetizer, then their meal with tons of fries and dripping, nasty cheese, other fried crap and then they order dessert. Oh, wait, I…

The most accurate way to do it is to know the calorie content in each item per gram. Weigh your food and you have an accurate number. What sucks is when MFP doesn't have it listed. There are other ways to find out though. Online, or on most packages, for example, my oatmeal, has a serving size listed as 1/2 cup or 40 grams…

Another new best friend, still wayyy off. I'm 51.

If your boobs sag, get a lift.

My new best friend! Not even close. :)

The poor egg, so misunderstood . My issue with eggs isn't that they aren't good for me, it's the extra calories in the yolk. 70 cals for a large, whole egg is fine if I'm only having 3. 17 for only the white, makes a great high protein snack and my cat loves the yolk I toss to her.

Perhaps an Ace sleeping bag? :laugh:

You look young for your age!

Beano gets rid of the stink but you'll still 'fluff'.
