Wow awesome work! You look fabulous...and really happy! :flowerforyou:

Odus YOU can call me sir... :wink:

Nope, ladies is good. Ma'am totally fine also. I'm in law enforcement...and I get called sir all the time because that's what comes to mind for people when they see an officer. It's a gut reaction for people (annoying in itself) and corrected quickly, but irritating. So yeah, ladies is just fine. :wink:

I use the flavor packets from Crystal Light...I think when I first started not drinking pop I drank diet. Which I didn't love at first, but you get used to it. Walmart also has those flavor packets, and there is one that tastes a lot like cherry koolaid. Good luck! It's not easy!

Love angry cat!!!

I'm breaking the rules...not a parent. But I was a babysitter as many of us were. I have to say I think your friend is right and that you should have gone to her first. Just as a heads up. I don't think it should have come to the point that she doesn't think her daughter should sit for you anymore, but I can see why she's…

Hmmm....well I've actually never BEEN a bridesmaid. My best friends are either living in sin, or patiently awaiting proposals. I'm hoping they don't put me in something horrific. It might just be the one wedding honestly, and I'm totally okay with it!

Good job girl! Looks like you've got the right mindset...keep at it!

Yep. Ditto to all the above comments. Amazing! You look so good, congrats! And ditto on the needing a drooling smiley ;):drinker:

That IS great!!! Everyone makes the decision in their own time...glad you will have extra motivation and support!

Wow. Huge change! Maybe some of the best results I have seen from 30DS. Congrats!!:drinker:

I could do 6 easy...12 I don't think I could do...at least not without taking a huge nap before finishing the race

That is an AMAZING NSV!!! 14 your old boys can be real little ****s sometimes...but that is too cute. well deserved!

LOVE! You look amazing, and it's always nice to hear that you can fall off the wagon but continue the journey! Congrats on an amazing transformation!

Wow~! You look so happy! Great transformation!!!

You ladies all look awesome!!! Great work :) I needed a pick me up cause I'm just getting back on the horse! This is doin it for me!!!

That IS a great problem to have! No go shopping!!! Congrats on an awesome NSV :)

WOW~~~!!! I don't know how you can say there's not a big difference! You look awesome! I want to look like you and I haven't had a baby!!! Great work, you look so good! :flowerforyou:

I would suggest you look into what's required of you to move to another country. You know you're not allowed to just move to another country ...right? If that obstacle wasn't in the way, I would say go for it. But that's a BIG, expensive obstacle. Unless you have some skill that the government sees as worthwhile to hire…

I would think you can definitely see progress in that routine for 10 weeks. Good luck!

Really wow!!! You look fantastic. Amazing job and you look so happy!:flowerforyou:

wow odus...unless I'm missing something, this is random, even for you! if I have to choose between the legs of a giraffe. literally, and quinoa, I will take quinoa. But bacon is ALWAYS going to win.

The best way to log calories burned seems to be a heart rate monitor. Search the forums for recommendations (I have the Polar FT4 and love it). However, as you don't have one, maybe walking at your speed uphill would yieled something about right? Search walking and see what is already in there... Great walk!

I wouldn't say major success but I find it as effective as any other cardio. I prefer running too, but the low impact has benefits of it's own. I have to work out either a bit longer or a bit harder on the elliptical to burn same amount of cals as running, but in the end, I do find it a good cardio option. I prefer an…

I make a smoothie and take it with my on my commute. It varies, but I'm pretty stuck on: 1/2 cup Kashi cereal, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1/3 cup 0%vanilla yogurt and 1/2 cup 1% milk. throw it in a shaker cup, blend and go! Keeps me full all morning, Good luck!

I used to drink a double cream (18%) double sugar coffee. Now I do just fine with 1TBSP 10% (or even 5%!) cream, and 1 tsp sugar. I weaned off the 2nd sugar first, then the 2nd cream. Do it half a tsp at a time if you have to. But I have two every day and it works no problem with that amount. ****I found switching to…

Definitely broccoli! But I'm still not a huge fan of raw broccoli. This has happened to me with so many foods. Brussel sprouts, shrimp, onions...still waiting on the aha moment for raw tomatoes. Blech.

Bacon??? Really? Not bacon. No one can resist bacon. It's BACON. Add bacon to ANYTHING (including pretty much everything on this list) and it makes it better. Brussel sprouts...meh...brussel sprouts with BACON?? Yes please! ...I don't know why but I just can't imagine someone not liking bacon. The smell of bacon cooking…

Thanks for the goose! There's gonna be a little more to be goosed than I would like after ... well mostly after being a lazy *kitten* and eating everything offered to me. Le sigh. Mmmmm bacon.

Your menu is making me drool. Alot. Just FYI. I was making a finger food menu, but now I wonder....
