Squash is incredibly low in calories and soooo good for you. Zucchini, yellow, spaghetti squash,etc.

Yes! I'm glad you posted this. I remember learning about this. My mom's bones are not dense. She has been working on her weight training a lot in the past two months. I need to reminder her to get another bone density test to see if there has been any improvement.

I'm turning 45 on he 28th this month. I really didn't start losing weight consistently until I joined this site. Like you I didn't think I was eating that much before until I started counting my calories. I have 15 more to lose and then I'll reevaluate. Please send an invite.

You ARE awesome! So well written and inspirational! You need to give yourself a pat on your well muscled back. I love the cute outfit you took your last picture in. And your family is adorable!

She kindly asked to not judge her.

I eat from 300 to 500 at breakfast. I love a good breakfast. Sometimes I have protein smoothies,sometimes I have eggs and toast. I use Jillian Michaels' Whey protein powder, vanilla cream. It's sweetened with stevia. Does not taste grainy and mixes up incredibly thick and creamy. Some Walmarts have it but in my area I have…

It makes about 10 pancakes measuring out a half cup batter for each pancake.

My pancakes are VERY light and fluffy made with 100% whole wheat flour. And they are healthier made with the Whole wheat. Just look up all the nutrients you miss out on when you strip out all the bran from the wheat. And If you want more protein add protein powder. Bran is the hard outer shell of the wheat plant. As the…

You might want to start buying Whole wheat. Much better for you.

What kind of flour do you have? (about 168 calories per pancake (with the flax seed) medium sized. My recipe for pancakes goes as follows: Two cups Whole Wheat flour 5 Teaspoons baking powder (Rumford) It has no aluminum. 1 teaspoon salt Two and a half cups milk(buttermilk is good but you need about 1/2 cup more) two eggs…

I measure before I grind. I was curious to see if there was any difference before and after and there is not enough to make any difference.

You should be ok running your 5k the day before your half. It might help you relax and sleep better that night. I was so wound up before my half, I don't think I slept 2 hours. Plus you'll be with your family. Good luck!

4.25 miles on Thur and Fri

I got some exercise Capris at TJ max at a very good price that holds everything in beautifully! New Balance makes them. They feel great and don't get heavy as I sweat. Target also has great work out clothes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking coffee. It's good for you,raises your metabolism,gives you a great kick start to your day. I drink mine with REAL cream and stevia. I don't like it black. Bleh! And I love the flavor the rich cream gives it. It is one of my few splurges and I won't give it up for anything!…

4 miles Wednesday!

By the way,you look great! You look like you are in your 50s not 60s. What does MFP say you should eat. 900 cals is not enough to keep you healthy and give you enough energy to exercise well. Let alone live. Would mind making your diary open so I can give you an evaluation? Feel free to look at mine and add me as a friend.…

I Might give the Brooks Pure Contacts a try since I still have chin pain (not as much as before) and have high arches. I'll wait until my Saucony Grid Profile get more mileage on them though. It is still a good light shoe but I want my chin pain to go away completely.

3 miles Tuesday

sounds great!

Congratulations!! What a wonderful feeling!

I love your story! You are awesome and you are teaching your kids good eating habits!!! Do you have pictures?

I would definitely could them. But you really should not drink Gatorade. Unless you go on a long sweaty run or race and need the electrolytes. Way too much sugar and sodium! Try vitamin water. the zero calorie kind. It has many different flavors and all kinds of vitamins added.

I have had health problems from artificial sweeteners and so has my mother. Some people are more sensitive to them than others and over all no matter your sensitivity I believe you should stay away from them. So in your water try lemon juice with a little Stevia on ice. So far this sweetener made from a leaf has proven to…

My thighs still rub.Even though I have lost weight. I will rejoice the day they no longer rub! I still have some weight to lose. I like to wear longish exercise shorts, tight ones so when I run I don't chafe and my shorts don't ride up. Very annoying!

Really awesome! I can even see a difference in your for-arms. I am thinking about trying it. Can you order on line? About how much does it cost?

4 miles on Sat.

I measured my waist after I posted this and it's down one inch!!!! Big Yay!!!!!!

I saw a crow flying away with a Cheetos Puff. :laugh:

I do drink way more water on my circuit training days.
