Thank you everybody! I got lots of good ideas that will really help me throughout my days :wink: :flowerforyou:

GREAT RESULTS!!!! You look awesome! You should be very proud of yourself :wink:

YUM!!! I know what I'm having for lunch today!!! Thanks for sharing :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the advice! It definitely has me a little worried. I'm on a pretty low dosage and use it for anxiety, but may just talk to the doc about either switching or getting off it all together. I mainly wanted to get on it to see if it helped me at all.

hulu.com has lots of different yoga and pilates ones. That's where I get all my yoga from. I wouldn't doubt if they had other workouts too. I've never looked them up to see.

I am!!! AGAIN! Basically I work a lot and half the time, it's slow so I'm bored. I'm always hanging out on MFP or doing Yoga to give myself something to do. I'd probably be on FB too but my work has blocked it. I keep praying that they don't block this site too :grumble: Seriously! I don't know what I would do with myself…

Welcome! I am going to assume that you are a huge insanity fan too! As am I. I love it!!! and good luck on your first marathon :wink: Some day I'd like to do one myself

Me too! not only do I do this to see the content of it, but also for when I look back in my diary to see what was eaten during certain days.

That's awesome!! Way to stick with it. I seem to get very discouraged after I plateau for too long so it's great that you pushed through it.

My ex-mother-in-law called me fluffy once and that made me want to "fluff" her up a little bit!... I think if I had to choose any word, it would be stocky.

Well, I'm here... and super bored. I'm going through and commenting on everything I could possible comment on because it's another slow night... I'm half tempted to go wake up a patient or two and just chat with them. It's always hilarious to talk to ones that are super drugged up lol... We have some fun conversations!!

I invited my husband's best friend and his girlfriend to come over to our house a couple weeks ago... well this girl was a b****!!!! She got a few drinks in her and than decided to tell me that she would love to switch bodies with me for a day, because than guys wouldn't hit on her... :grumble: I love to tell the story now…

LOL! I love your topic and I can relate :tongue: Welcome back and good luck Rae!!!!

wow... are you feeling like your going to pass out?? lol. It's lower than the average, but that could just be normal for you so I wouldn't stress too much. Are you taking it manually? If so, make sure you count for a minute for a more accurate one, rather than 15 or 20 seconds. Also, it will vary depending on the time of…

WOW... I do NOT want to be working tonight!!! I haven't worked since last tuesday night and now am scheduled (and took extra shifts) every night till saturday. I'm already beat and my shift just started. I don't know if I'm more excited that it's slow tonight or not cuz all I wanna do is sleep :angry: maybe I'll do some…

I like rewarding myself because it is more motivation to push myself. I reward myself every 5 pounds and I like to choose something that keeps me excited about working out like new running shoes and HRM (which is what I'm getting when I can drop a couple more pounds and I'm so excited about!) I definitely think you should…

Go to teambeachbody.com and go to where it says, eat smart and you'll find michi's ladder. Print off tier 1 and 2 and try that for a week or two. I'm sure you can add in some from tier 3 eventually, but try to keep it with the top two. Those foods are all clean. I also add in some almond milk with my protein shakes, but…

I have also been following michi's ladder and eating off of tier one and two. I've been doing it for almost 2 weeks. I feel very good and my family has loved the new foods we've been cooking. I am going to start a blog soon with all my successful delicious clean meals I've made. I haven't lost any weight doing this yet,…

Hello ladies! I am also very glad I found this group. My hubby and I have been TTC for 2 years now..:grumble: It's been a very long stressful process. I have 2 kids of my own, but they were with my ex. We finally went to the doc a couple months ago and found out he had a varicose vein which was causing bad sperm count. He…

thanks for the great post!!!

I will need to try this out! Thanks for the advice!!!

Yowza!!!! I will make sure to keep at it!!! You look AWESOME!!! Make sure you reward yourself for that :flowerforyou:

I too have two kids to get ready for school when I get home (5 & 3 years). However, something I have started doing is I will drink some green tea at 0530 (an hour before I get off) and a protein shake for energy and I go running at 0700 because I don't have to actually wake the kids up till an hour later. Just think how…

I think if you're staying active the entire time, than to make sure to eat more calories and just make sure you never feel hungry. However, I would also make sure that if your eating more calories, that you keep it clean food. You could eat 300 calories in useless carbs and crap or 300 calories on a piece of fruit, PB and…

have some eggs for breakfast or bring hard boiled eggs along with you. I also have a protein shake once throughout the day. Make sure it's low sugar tho. Mine is 1g sugar. And whole wheat bread with some natural peanut butter is delightful :wink:

Exactly what was just said! Strengthen your core and stretch stretch stretch! I like to go to hulu.com and they have great 15-20 min programs for yoga for your back that has really helped me. I also go to physical therapy for my back because I have scholiosis and that is what my therapist says. Also when your done with…

I am almost done with week 4 and am loving it!!! I have only missed 2 days so far and felt guilty when I had to miss those two days!!! I have lost about 5 pounds, but have lost 2 inches in my abs, 1.5 in my hips and 1 in my butt!!! I am feeling so much stronger now than the first week! i LOVE IT!

Yeah, It keeps it going through the day. I actually went and talked to a nutritionist about it. He was the first to suggest small meals, which I had heard before, but he confirmed it. He said, if you wanna lose weight (healthy) you have to eat!. Make sure to add in some healthy carbs here and there too tho. But I usually…

Yeah. I eat about every 2-3 hours (depending on when I'm hungry). And I eat small portions. For breakfast I'll eat 2 eggs, and then a couple hours later, I'll eat some low fat cottage cheese... and so forth. I love having protein first thing in the morning tho because I notice I don't have those cravings and it gets my…

It is such a slow process losing weight! Number one thing to remember, is don't give up and don't let it frustrate you to the point that you don't care anymore. I have done that way too much. Now, just know that that could be your muscles hanging on to water, it could be that you're building muscle and losing fat and your…
