  • A couple of years ago I ended up in PT for killing my knees on a treadmill. They put me on a stationary recumbent bike to warm up and I fell in LOVE! Went out and bought one. Swimming is also great if you have access to a community pool. I use our school pool.
  • I did it at 40! I totally wanted it done due to the fact that I kept getting tonsil stones - bacteria pockets that smelled really bad and I didn't want to be the grandma with the bad breath. Was it painful? Heck yea! I found that hot was better than cold. I lived on tea & vicodin for a good week. Was it worth it? YES!
  • Old Navy's talls are great. One problem I had with their yoga pants though is that the waist came up to my boobs! Lucky for me my sister sews and took about 2 inches out of the top of them.
  • Slice them up and freeze. Throw them into a zip lock after they are frozen and they make a great addition to a smoothie! I always make sure I have a bag of frozen banana slices in the freezer.
  • This^^^^ If it seems too good to be true . . .
  • This! We read this book before we got married (17 years ago) and I always think back to it. For me it's the physical touch and for him it's the acts of service. It helps if you both read it and discuss it so you are sure what the other person is. Don't guess.
  • I think that something in your speedometer/mile tracker is wacked. If you are going 12-14 mph you should be doing 12 miles in an hour. We need to see what you are eating.
  • Sorry that you haven't been getting much response on this. I also can't help you much as I am 6' and 200+ pounds. But, what I have found is the more you weigh the more you burn. I don't think that Fitbit actually gives you calories burned per step as you can burn calories just watching TV - or sleeping . I have some short…
  • I sent you a friend request. Sounds like you're off to a great start! Keep up the good work!
  • THIS! Perfectly said.
  • Raspberry Vinegarette 1 jar of Smuckers sugar free raspberry jam same jar filled with red wine vinegar - I actually use a little less 1/2 c Splenda or more to taste if you like it sweeter dried onion flakes garlic powder to taste blend in a blender. 20 calories for 2 Tbs and it has a lot of flavor.
  • We bought our teen aged boys kayaks for Christmas last year and one of my big goals was to use one of them this summer. Well I finally (thanks to MFP) was able to fit into one of them and had a blast! We have fishing kayaks and I hauled in the first bass of the trip. I think that we will be shopping for two more so we can…
  • 6' - Check out the Totally tall women group. We're out here!
  • Carnation fat free powdered milk (doesn't water down your coffee like skim milk) and Sugar free Torani Vanilla syrup. World Market is the cheapest place to get the syrups.
  • I lost about 40 before even my mom said anything. I'm 6'0 tall and the weight is spread pretty evenly so it takes about 20# just to lose 1 size. 23# is great! Keep up the good work!
  • I would like to have my favorite foods/recent foods & recipes in alphabetical order
  • Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup, cinnamon & blueberries. YUM! Don't add the blueberries until after it is done cooking. They make your oatmeal cool enough to eat and they don't get over cooked.
  • I feel your pain. My setback was in April when I was diagnosed with (a very treatable form) Leukemia. It's amazing how 4 days in the hospital will drag you down. I went from being active to sedentary in a matter of days. And do you think they could put me on a low cal diet? I was so sick of seeing pie on my tray! Keep up…
  • Powdered skim milk - like Carnation. Doesn't dilute your coffee the way skim milk does. - Or make it cold!
  • One small York Peppermint Patty - 50 Calories. Freeze and nibble slowly!
  • That's all well and good while they are on the show, but can they keep that up when they get home?
  • My Non Scale Victory this week - Got my wedding set off for the first time in 2 years!
  • Tigers are on FIRE! Woot Woot!

  • Go to the Bell Plantation web site and you can search for a store near you. Our local one (Grand Rapids MI) is sold at a Gastric Bypass surgeons outlet store. It's a lot cheaper than paying for shipping. And I LOVE it with frozen whipped bananas!

  • I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to making my 2 allotted cups of coffee in the morning - My Keurig brews quite strong and I have it set so it fills my cup about 3/4 full. Then I add about 2 TBS of powdered fat free milk, like Carnation, Sugar Free Toranni vanilla syrup (World Market) and then fill my cup up with skim milk…
  • YUM! I miss Culvers! I know they have some great salads but the other temptations there are just too much.
  • My own Raspberry Vinaigrette - 1 jar of Smuckers Sugar Free Raspberry Preserves - empty into a small mixing bowl. Red wine vinegar to fill up the Preserves jar - so you have equal parts 1/2 c Splenda or to taste. I like mine a little sweeter Onion Flakes Small dash of Garlic Powder 1 t dried mustard if you have it.…
  • I'm also 6' even. CW255. I have a large frame, but a lot of my weight is on my legs. I find it harder to find pants because I actually have a smaller waist. I have some great dress pants from Eddie Bauer that are 20T and they fit great now. For jeans - hey, a number is just a number! They all run so different that even…
