there are several great ones on the channel store that are free to add. Also, you can get the youtube channel on your ROKU and then do the fitness videos that are available there. There are a ton!

Another thing I like to do is buy 1 whole chicken. Throw that sucker in the crockpot and let it cook allll day. Then strip it down and chuck the bones back into the pot for a few more hours. You get loads of yummy chicken for healthy recipe ideas AND the tastiest low sodium chicken stock which can be kept in the freezer or…

Cheese fries with bacon and RANCH were the only thing that got me through finals week a few semesters. As such, I consider Ranch akin to communion wine in it's sacredness (not a real word I know). Also, it's soooooooo good on deep fried battered zucchini fritters. When I first moved to the south I didn't understand why it…

Drop another 8lbs and start going to my gym once the stinking thing opens (seriously, I signed up two months ago and it was supposed to open at the end of Jan. but still no joy.) Once it OPENS I'd like to aim for 4-5 trips to the gym per week.

My 3 year old appears to be inclined towards vegetarianism at this point. So my list looks like this: ALL the fruit some of the veggies that are in season lean meat that is cheapest (chicken breasts, chicken thighs and pork lately) Fat free plain yogurt butter (this and the thing above balance each other out in my mind…

The choice is hers, but she should know that the lap-band procedure and all gastric bipass procedures frequently fail. The reason is simple. Having a smaller stomach will reduce hunger but it won't reduce cravings...the desire to snack when bored, the desire to eat when sad etc. The tiny pouch they create can easily be…

Super cheap meal I discovered on my own. Pasta in herbed butter. Cook a pack of pasta. Drain and return the pasta still hot to the pot. Then chuck in compound butter flavored with garlic, basil, oregano, etc. Toss till butter melts and thinly coats your pasta. Maybe 4 tbs for a whole pack of pasta. Sprinkle with a little…

The most budget friendly meal my mother ever taught me to cook is beans with ham hock in the slow cooker. Rinse and soak a pack of dried pinto beans the night before. Chuck them in the slow cooker with some water and a ham hock bone or some other hunk of flavorful and cheap pork. Add garlic, salt, pepper, onion and turn…

Welcome!

Yeah, you def. look smaller! Congrats!

plan healthy snacks in advance and bring them with so you aren't running to the vending machine or something when the urge to snack hits.

I was 25 over today. I see the red and feel like a kid who has failed a spelling test.

I work in a critical care unit of a hospital. I see patients every single day who are there because of poor life decisions regarding their diet and activity levels. I often think to myself "I don't want to be a patient here." I really don't. Hospitals are horrid places even to those of us who call them home 40+ hours a…

I got pregnant. Instantly. It was like magic pregnancy inducing stuff. It was crazy. My daughter is 3 now and I haven't gone back on hormonal birth control. I've lost enough weight at this point that my body seems to be coping with it ok, although I am more moody around PMS time.

Thanks for the heads up! My husband loves BK so we do go there every once in awhile. I'll stick with my Whopper, no onions no mayo. It is yummy.

I'm five lbs down for the month of February, working on trying to get another 1.5 - 2 lbs before the month is done. Ever so slowly creeping my way down to the 100's AND the 100lbs lost club....but still have a little ways to go. No rewards as of yet. In another 25lbs I'm totally buying some Doc Martens though.

Chocolate and Wine ARE your friends....but they're those naughty friends that are so much fun and talk you into doing silly things like mooning a cop. Like all naughty friends, best enjoyed in moderation...and without guilt. We all need naughty friends.

Rapid weight loss also tends to lead to looser, saggier skin. Of course, that's more for people who have a fair amount to lose.

I weigh every morning because I like to see the changes. This is NOT for everyone though. Some people get really freaked out if they see a two pound gain of water weight one morning or something. Also, some people become toooooo obsessive about it. I've just found that, for me, weighing only once per week gives the number…

canadian bacon, egg whites and cheese! I

This made me giggle! Good for you for figuring it out and being accountable for it! Now that you know, you will totally fix the problem. :)

I have no idea how to log it, but you're a badass for getting out there and doing it in the snow!

Wow! You can realllly see the difference! That is awesome. Makes me want to take a face pic and compare too. :smile:

electric toaster oven, electric griddle, crock pot, electric table top burner. If you've got these and you've got a sink and a little fridge....you my friend have a kitchen! :) Plus you can pick up a number of these items used to save some cash. With these items there is almost nothing you can't make. :) I once watched a…

At the moment I'm obsessed with the hot, tasty hamburger I'm going to order when the husband and I go out on Saturday. It's pretty much all I can think about.

Wow. My school started sex-ed in the fourth grade. I was 9. Some girls start their periods that early. I may be the odd-duck on this one, but I think age 9/10ish is a very appropriate age to explain the very basics of what the act is, what it leads to (pregnancy), why it's important to wait until a person is (insert your…

As someone who still has a lot to learn, I realllllly appreciate it when people post information and links to actual studies. I'm still trying to find my way and make sense of the often contradictory approaches.....and realizing that because everyone is different, sometimes different approaches work better for one group…

Perhaps he's following the d-bag rules of dating? You know, compliment a girl in a way that is an insult also so that she is off balance and vulnerable...then move in for the kill. I actually have know guys who do this....and it sadly does work pretty well for them.

When I make it to onederland I'm buying Doc Marten's!

I def. have stronger cravings during the week prior to my period. I let myself have a little, or if I know a little won't cut it, I cut back on other foods to have more of what I'm craving. I think just knowing WHY I'm craving helps me control myself. I also try to get more activity into my day as that helps with the…
