I spent most the first half of the movie UP teary eyed. But, I still love that movie. I want arms like Linda Hamilton had. Heck I would be happy to be able to do a pull-up. For me its red wine. :love: I wish I could say I was small at one time so I would know how it is going to look, but I have been battling weight since I…

Use lots of beans. The dried ones are cheaper than the canned. Put them on a salad or make soups. Tuna salad ( one can can make 2 meals) Watch for meat sales. Sometimes you can get a bigger package at a good price and then divide it up and freeze for several meals. Eggs are cheap and nutritious.

I am sorry that finding a job is so tough. I do home daycare and in the last year I have had 2 of 6 parents totally lose their jobs and 1 get cut back. It is a tough job market out there and I am worried it won't get better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Its not easy trying to find a job in this climate. I…

I looked at those too, but they did not have them in my size and I was too lazy to run to another kohls. I have done about 6 miles on the treadmill with mine. I felt it mostly this morning in my upper legs. Time will tell if they actually change the way my legs look!

It depends on what your personal preferences are. If you need the support of people you can see and talk to physically every week than weight watcher's may be helpful. If you are motivated and supported by people on-line then save your money. Hopefully you know yourself well-enough to know what you need. I know people who…

Don't let those little ups and downs of the scale get you down. I ready in a recent article that weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds a day due to water weight, sodium, the weight of food eaten.....Men can be so frustrating with weight loss they seem to lose it so much easier. I think it has to do with their muscle…

So I ran out of time yesterday to get to the store but I got there today. I tried on some shirts. I actually tried on some mediums and they fit except for the boobs I don't think I have lost anything there. I have bought smaller band sizes but had to get a bigger cup:noway: :noway: I did score big time on my Reebok…

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: So awesome for you! Losing feels so good. Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou: Terri

I googled it and came up with the following Natural diuretics are natural foods or herbs that allow increased flow of urine and thereby aid removal of fluids from the body. While natural diuretics aid removal of excess fluids from the body, it may also mean loss of important vitamins and minerals too. It is essential that…

I notice the aging thing every morning: the muscles take a little longer to get moving and when I look in the mirror and see the little bits of gray in my hair and the little "smile wrinkles" around my eyes. :laugh:

Donate if you can! Donations save lives. I used to donate on a regular basis and after I got married I kind of neglected to donate. A few years back I needed 4 units and was very thankful for the people who donate. I try to go every time I hear the blood mobile is in town. They do test to see if your iron is high enough.…

Running on concrete is hard on your body. Run on the street instead of the sidewalk. Asphalt is not as hard as concrete or if you can a track at a local school. I even notice when I go for long walks my feet get more sore walking on concrete than asphalt. Take care of your knees, back off when they hurt! THERE IS ALWAYS…

Saturday morning and I feel like it is way to early to get up but the dog decided otherwise. I plan to take the day off from exercise today. I need to run some errands. I am going to go to Famous Footwear and buy a pair of Reebok Easytones. I need to replace my walking shoes because they probably have close to 1000 miles…

I hear the closer you get to your goal weight the slower it comes off! Its also because as you get smaller it gets a little harder to burn calories. Just keep working it at it and you will do great!

Don't mind me, I wanted to add in my Jan. starting weight this morning and forgot and now I can't go back and edit it so I am putting it in now. January 1 weight 185.4 March 1st weight 181 March 5th weight 178 March 12th weight 177 March 19 weight 177 March 26 weight 176:happy: As you can see I am not making my goal every…

:drinker: Celebrate any loss no matter how small!:drinker:

:drinker: :drinker: A loss is a loss not matter how small! Think of it this way...3-4 pounds a month by New Year's you will be down 24-32 pounds. :flowerforyou:

No loss = NO Gain! I always tell myself that I am really good at maintaining, the losing is harder! Stress can really wreck our systems. Hang in there we are here for support!:flowerforyou:

:noway: :drinker: :drinker:

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Way to go! Another pound closer to your goal!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone. Sorry I have not been here much lately. I usually play around with this sight after my nap time workout, but with the new baby in my care I am pretty busy. He comes at a time when I can still get a 45-60 minute walk on the treadmill or bike ride on the stationary, but then I get pretty busy with him.…

I found my last pair of Reeboks at Kohls for under $50. They are very sturdy and since starting to wear them my plantar fasciitis rarely bothers me anymore. I want a pair of Easytones for my summer walking! But they are expensive!

Good morning all! And good evening Phyljen, I think it is evening there as I type this. This week is actually going quite quickly. I need to really be careful today. My 10 year has been having trouble sleeping, and last night he had me up over 2 hours. I know from past experience that I tend to munch mindlessly when I am…

Runner's World has something similar this month. Put in a nutshell going above the fat burning zone helps burn more total calories than staying only in the fat burning zone, and burning more calories is the way to lose weight. It is also important to remember that the "fat burning zone" is great for increasing endurance.

Just remember most pickles are high in sodium! I love pickles they are one of my favorite snacks. I wish they did not have so much sodium!

I am surprised that Ebay is not on this list. It really changed how many people shop for lots of items. I know for me when the kids want a new video game the first place I look is Ebay and then Amazon. When I want something new I usually look at both those sites before I shop.

I did not go read this yet, but I remember reading something in a book about the healthy weight range. Maybe your ideal weight is not one weight, but that range that is considered healthy. I have a goal which is on the high end of my healthy weight range, but I do plan to reevaluate when I hit that goal to see if I am at…

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend! We are on the final push for our 5 pounds this month! I thought I would share some things over the next few days that are in the April issue of Runner's World. It is from and article call the "INCREDIBLE WEIGHT LOSS MYTHS EXPOSED. Read the surprising truth about 14…

Weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds a day. It can be from water retention. It is important to realize that to gain a pound you need to consume 3500 calories more than your body needs. So unless you really go on a huge eating binge you probably have not gained 5 pounds in one day.

2 hour run that is amazing. I can only walk that long. I am taking today and tomorrow off from working out. My legs and ankles are still sore. May have to get it checked out if it does not go away. My daughter's recital is today and my parents are coming into town for that. I suppose I should go clean the house a bit…
