You can try replacing the oil with apple sauce... that's what I do and I think it tastes good :)

I don't know how to get to your blog.. can you copy &paste it into here?

I love no more trouble zones!! great workout! I put the 5 min warm-up in "aerobics, general" and then I do the rest of the time spent in "circuit training, general" =) I usually don't count the cool-down. But if I did I'd probably search for "light stretching"

What an awesome story! It's great that your weight loss has let you live life more fully and be a parent more involved in your child's life!!! Congrats =)

A cup of coffee is fine! A lot of times people are worried about what they put in it though, because cream and sugar is obviously not very good for you and can add up if you are using it in multiple cups!! Sometimes I like to have coffee for a dessert/treat... it's less calories than something else I might have and it's…

Nuva Ring shouldn't cause bleeding like IUD does. The patch is something similar but you change that one once a week. Have you research BC implant? It's a little tube that is put under your skin and lasts for 3 years... I'm not sure about the potential side effects for that one though. As for remembering your pill, I have…

You look AMAZING!! Wow, big transformation!

I love it!

Congrats! 20 pounds is a number that feels GREAT! Keep at it! =)

Once in awhile i have one of those days just to keep my sanity lol... But my body is getting so used to eating healthy foods that when I eat too much junk I feel SO sick!!! So I'm learning to just have a tiny treat while still eating mostly healthy :smile:

I think 1200 cals is the lowest anybody should go

I don't always count them but when I do I count the warm up but not cool down :smile:

You look GREAT!! And it's great that you are HEALTHIER now too! =)

haha yea I can't do sit ups with my 1 year old daughter in the room because she feels the need to come over and sit on top of my stomach... this makes sit ups pretty difficult haha

Same here with heartburn!! Also, my knees used to hurt when I was climbing stairs and such.. not anymore =)

YES!!!!!!!! I am SO SO SO SO close... 2 more pounds until my BMI is 25... right now it's 25.2.... can't wait!! Not only will 154 put me at a "healthy" BMI but it will also break my lowest weight ever! That will be a GOOD day! Just gotta keep working! =)

I am scared of that happening. 155 is the lowest I've ever been so I'm afraid it's some magical number that my body won't let me get below.... the moment the scale says 154 I am going to dance and leap and sing with joy!!!!!!!!! Only 2 pounds to get below that feared number!! Good luck with your goals! =)

I got pregnant after I lost a lot of weight and it was frustrating for me because it was like all that hard work was erased and I started back at square one. You can eat healthy during pregnancy and stay active so that you don't gain too much weight. Some people only gain 15-20 pounds and then most of it is lost when the…

My daughter is 1 year old and I've just finished losing the baby weight... and now I'm trying to lose the weight I wanted to lose BEFORE I got pregnant! =) Unfortunately my weight now after losing over 20 pounds is about the same as your starting weight!! haha

I would say yes to eating back at least some of your exercise calories! But I think that sometimes MFP overestimates the amount of calories burned so I wouldn't go too crazy with it... For me I use it as a little bit of leeway in my diet but if you're not hungry then I don't think you should eat extra calories just because…

I agree, I'm with you there! Lost 20 pounds after baby but I'm still flabby and gross looking everywhere! I still have more weight to lose but I really need to tone as well if I want to look good.... I just started Jillian Michaels "No more trouble zones" and it's really kicking my butt... literally =P

Yes!! The jeans thing is SO true.... when I was at my lowest weight it was so great to not be getting holes in my jeans!! I can't wait to wear shorts in public!!!!!!

This happens to me when I don't drink enough water or if I eat too much sodium.

and I'll have to check out Sara Lee ones! Thanks!!! I could only find ones with 120 cals... 80 sounds much better! =)

500 mg of sodium... I'm not sure how that compares to other hot dogs. You kinda figure a hot dog will be high in sodium either way =/ But if you really want to enjoy one at least the fat and calories are on your side!

I have her "No more trouble zones" which kicks my butt! (Literally when I do the bicep & butt section.. LOL!) I really like it though because you can choose which circuits you want to do. Right now I do 2 at a time and I'm hoping to build up from there.

How much is a serving?

I actually haven't tried them but maybe those Walk away the Pounds videos might be good? You could look into them. Hope you find something right for you!

Wow, you don't even look like the same person! Seems like the pounds took about 10 years off of you!! Congrats, that's such a great accomplishment, you should be proud!!

Clever story! =) You have achieved a lot and should be proud of yourself!!!!! Keep up the good work!
