Thanks. The heartburn is more under control today. Along with the IBS. It is more of a nuisance that just makes me feel icky. Keep up the great work! Looking hot in your wedding dress is an awesome motivation.

I have a little kid story for you. I do home daycare and today only 2 showed up because of illness or bad roads. For lunch they were sitting at the table eating and the 3 year old (I'll call her Lena) start yelling Lars (also a made up name and he is 2) is kicking me. He does like to swing his feet under the table. Before…

Do you have stairs? Step-up with right foot and bring left foot up and plant it, then go down starting with right foot. Repeat 100 times and then lead with the left foot. (Beginning step aerobics). March in place, dance jump up and down, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks.....I hope this gives you some ideas.

Not sure if this is true, but a doctor once told my dad it is not worth it to go to decaf. The chemicals they use to "decaf" it are worse than the "regular" coffee.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone had a super weekend. It is snowing really hard here and is supposed to until tomorrow sometime. Schools are closed or closing early. Snowstorms always make me want warm comfort food. I will try to make it healthy. I guess on the positive note we are not supposed to get anywhere near…

I tried it but it said I was severely underweight at 141 pounds.:noway: I am 5'6" and I thought a healthy range for me was 120-140.

Hope everyone is having a great Super Bowl Sunday. I did not get anything done today that I wanted to except my workout. Now I am cooling off before watching the game. Watch those snacks and drink lots of water. I don't care who wins, I just hope it is a great game and the commercials are awesome!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks. I am trying really hard. I have not had a day like this in a long time. I feel like all I wan to to is eat.

We weigh on the first to see if we made our goal. And then on every Friday. Great job on the 2 pounds lost.

Friday February 5 weight 179 No loss for this weeks weigh in but have not been feeling well and have been taking it easy! Hope everyone had a better week than me!

Great Goal! We are here to support you. My goal is 173 by the end of the month. even though the scale has gone up 2 this week and does not seem to want to budge.

My funny story has to do with my siblings. A few years ago at a birthday party I had taco salad. I had made it with a meatless mix from Fantastic. They all thought it was great until I told them it was meatless.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My spouse has been great. My joy right now is he is training for his first marathon. He…

A week that is longer than 7 days. God never let me go that place. 7 days is long enough for me!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So sorry every one I did not look to see if my copy and past worked. But someone stated they had a hard time finding us so I came back to look. Hopefully it works this time. So here is the thread for our February group. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/79451-5-pound-a-month-february-2010-challenge

Thanks. I like the idea of putting a regular bike on a trainer - I've decided that when I move in - he lives on an island that's very flat - I will do most of my errands and shopping on a bike. We've talked about biking together on the weekends, too. It seems like this could be a money saving measure. Regarding the…

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I am having a one of those weeks also. Hang in there! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: My scale is up 2 pounds this morning. Hopefully water weight. Plan to drink lots of water today. Have a great day everyone. Remember everyone....one mistake on this life journey to be healthier…

What I have is something I bought at the bike shop. I put my regular bike on it and ride. I think it was called a trainer. It probably takes up more space than a traditional exercise bike but I like it, plus it was only about $100 rather than the cost of an exercise bike. It does not track mileage because it its the back…

I agree the red team is playing the game.....but that being said THEY ARE NOT CHEATING!. They are playing by the rules they were given. Until the rules change or this can be made popular without it being a game there will be people who do this!

Glad you got it to work. I saw your post yesterday and all I could remember that I had trouble also so knew I would not be much help!:laugh: :laugh:

I understand your frustration. 20 pounds is where I hit a wall and it seemed to take forever to get the scale to start moving down again. Hang in there. Maybe shake it up a bit. Try a new workout. Bump your calories up for a day. Try new things until something works. When my weight loss stalled I looked at the positive of…

Question - a couple of folks have mentioned workout plans already but was just wondering what folks' workout goals were for this month? I am asking because I am trying to figure out what I want to commit to for this and the next three months - I work for the Health Dept. in San Francisco and every spring we have a team in…

Nothing wrong with potatoes..they are a great source of potassium. It is usually the things we put on our potatoes...gravy , sour cream, butter, bacon.... I am losing weight and I eat a baked potato at least 2 times a week for lunch. Yes they have carbs, but not all carbs are bad.

Chicken Fat Go Away.....when I was in elementary school we used to exercise to this album in PE . Exercise helps like DVD sure make it easier. I just had to comment because it brought back memories of my childhood.

Blondie Great job on losing 48. Some months are better than others hang in there and I know you can do it.

Here is the link for the February thread. Hope to see you all there!:flowerforyou:

I think we should have our first starting weight but then every month you go with your first of the month weigh in to see if you lose 5 pounds that month. Weigh in tomorrow for February';s starting weight but always keep in mine your January 1st starting weight also. I have had an awesome weekend of working out but my…

Only 3.5 calories from fat....that surprises me because they always seem greasy to me. I use them every year at Thanksgiving for the green bean casserole but can imagine they would add a great dimension to chili. My daughter and I went out to lunch today...Ruby Tuesday. Thought the fresco chicken would be safe. 857…
