Hi PIxie! Glad to hear that I have a MFP pal that is petite as well!!!! I am 5' tall and it certainly has its challenges!!! I enjoy Ann Taylor as well...we actually have a outlet store somewhat close to here in Gettysburg. I buy there clothes for work. I still struggle with jeans, but this fall found a store called Buckle…

To all you ladies that are vertically challenged..... I recently treated myself to a pair of jeans from Buckle.....they will alter them for free and ship them to you....Now, I am 5' tall and my inseam (don't laugh) is only 26" - so jeans, pants, etc are always a challenge...Buckle has come to the rescue. They can get a bit…

Jennifer~ I am going to have to check into the heart rate monitor....do you use the chest strap that I see so many others talking about? Good point about the type a's - lol My girlfriend is taking me to her gym this evening and doing circuit training with me then 1/2 hr of cardio...I have never done weights before....I…

Wow! Sounds like you got your dietary intake down to a science....Good for YOU!!! Also, congrats on the upcoming wedding!!! Certainly a great initial motivational tool. Wanted to ask if you struggle with estimating your calories burned during exercise? I am 5' even (only cuz I saw your age will I say this....was 5'2" in…

Hi PIxie! Curious what clothing store you work with? I live fashion, too - but somewhat limited here in so central pa....do have Philadelphia, which is nice for trendier versions of what we get here. lol Do you have a favorite line/style? Whats your take on the "it" color for spring? Seeing alot of yellow out this way and…

MMMMM. I love Miracle Whip....on my tomato sandwiches, in my tuna, yum, yum, yum. I will have to try this...sounds lite and satisfying! Thanks for the info. ~Sheryl

jdelisle! Okay, I am stumped.....:blushing: What makes a "cucumber sandwich" ? Do you add any other condiments or is it just cucumbers and bread?? I LOVE cucs and eat them in my salads and enjoy them just plain. Thank~Sheryl

aml0484~ I know it....my pbj is glaring at me right now! haha I will be heading home after lunch, so enjoy the rest of your day. I wish we were getting a snow storm....here in south central pa we don't get quite as much as we used to....hope you get your snow today....make some snow angels with your little guy and burn…

aml0484~ I will definately have to look for those bread options here in my neck of the woods...I never really paid much attention to it....but will be doing so now! I like the idea of the mozz cheese on your salad....would not have thought of that....guess it is good that we do these posts....I so need ideas to add variety…

aml0484~ Glad to hear that I have some company!!! I am so new with clean or rather "better" eating, that some of the foods that I see listed sound like a foreign language to me - lol I feel that slow habitual changes for me will work best and for about 350 cals, I can't go wrong right now with a pbj. They stay with me for…

Okay ladies....I am so happy...such a mental breakthrough I had this morning! Now, please keep in mind that I have eaten a pkg of Frosted Strawberry Poptarts EVERYDAY for the past 5 years!!! Well, since I started this a few weeks ago with increasing my activity level, I crash at about 10 AM and feel like crap. Well, this…

Good Evening Ladies...I am relatively new to this site...but, I am very interested in posting my food choices for the day. I have been fortunate to eat mostly what I want until now - it certainly catches up to you in your late 30's....lol I would also appreciate/welcome ANY comments/suggestions/pointers on my choices. I am…

Thanks for your reply....I know I know about the poptarts, but, I swear that I am addicted to them!!! Crazy, huh? Anyway, today I did eat my ol faithful for breakfast, but instead of eating another pkg of poptarts I opted for a good ole fashioned pbj....prolly the same amount of calories, but hopefully better nutrition…

Hi folks!! I am a new newbie as of today and would like to join your group....looks like you have an amazing thing going....I am trying to regain the energy level of my youth and destress as much as possible. Need to resructure my diet completely. Just want to start making better choices for myself. I recently (last week)…

Well...by the looks of things and on how quickly these ladies respond...I am already hooked!!! What a wonderfully supportive site...I am truly not afraid of my first pitfall....whenever that may be - knowing that I can come here and ask for support and advice is over half the battle. :happy:

I know...i consume 800 calories by noon with eating a package of poptarts for breakfast and then one for lunch....need to get myself in the habit of taking the time to grab/make/prepare something else to take to work. I am in the mindset of changing any habits that are slowing me down and I need to run with it. I want to…

Thanks for your reply...I plan on going to the grocery store tomorrow to get some fresh fruits to start adding...my body is sure in for a shock!!!! lol I hope that your thought process is correct and I will start wanting the better foods and not the ones that I have sooo enjoyed for the last 30 years. I did not expect any…

Okay...I just joined and am ready to start a new path....my diet pretty much sucks!!! Typical poptarts for breakfast and lunch, diet soda all day long, and red meat (hamburger, steak or hot wings for dinner)....not having much of a weight issue, just want to feel better and have more energy. I feel run down all the time!!!…

Hi folks!!! Looking forward to learning how to improve my lifestyle with diet and exercise!! From what I have read so far....there seems to be a wealth of knowledge and support here. Just reading how committed some of you are with your posts...nudges you/me to get my act in gear and do the same!!!
