I was wondering the same thing? I don't know if it's worth it. It seems most of what I've seen so far, I can just google on the internet.

Interested too! I am just starting again. I need to lose about 25 - 30lbs. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong or perhaps it's just the age (53) that has started packing on the pounds. I am 5' 5" and 150lbs. With the holidays, I don't want to spin out of control.

There is another "Dream Machine" Scooby Doo Van over on Bainbridge Island, WA. It is a greenish color though.

TWENTY-TWO pounds!!! That is awesome!!! That must be one tough boot camp. Congratulations!! Balancing life and exercise is definitely a tough challenge, but it appears just getting that boot camp a few times a week is doing wonders. Maybe preparing healthy snacks ahead of time in the fridge/pantry could help. Like portion…

Please don't think I'm sitting on my butt, watching television saying I can't. First of all the gym isn't a possibility. One I can't afford it. Two, I have two children that also have activities after school. One is struggling student. On Friday I spent 2 hours with her trying to help with homework and assignments that are…

May sounds more like a possibility for me too! I started a 2nd job and work 7 days/week now. I haven't figured out how to add back exercise besides being exhausted when I get home. I was hoping my energy would return after a week or two and my body got used to working all the time. So far, it hasn't, but I'll see if I can…

Sorry, I'm a little slow to respond. I'm with you. 24 hours... seems like it's a possibility. I better get moving!

I'm not so sure about my arm hurting from vibrations. It is just heavy holding it for so long. It reminds me of the saying...carrying a loaf a bread for a mile and it turns into a brick by the time you get there. I agree raking can move more muscles, but it can give me more blisters too! : ) Pushing the lawn mower on our…

So I guess I should just decide on my own since nobody has responded. I know it wasn't the most attractive post. Perhaps I should have posted - Pictures with Weed Wacker. Geez, this site can be frustrating sometimes.

I also seem to have problems with my knees hurting with the Shred DVD. My right knee bothers me the most. Level 1 is not as bad as level 2. On level two I stopped doing the planks where you have your knees hopping back and forth up. My knee was in extreme pain after that. I think we should follow the girl that doesn't go…

I have had this problem for probably all of my life. I can remember this happening since I was a kid. I have boney feet with long toes. My toes and foot sometimes go into a cramped pose that hurts, but is more annoying than anything else. I've gotten use to it. Sometimes I can just stamp my foot down on a hard surface a…

Hi Laura! Welcome from the West Coast! Good luck with finishing up your student teaching and finding that perfect teaching job. Hopefully, you won't have to wait as long as some of us. If you do, don't lose hope and keep on making your connections with the schools that you love. I am still subbing, but very frequently. I…

I live in Poulsbo. I work in Silverdale, Poulsbo, Bainbridge and Bremerton (Substitute Teacher). After 10 years here, I've gotten use to it, but I'm a New Yorker at heart.

Your post sounds just like me. I am 5'6". I weigh around 140lbs. I started in January and my weight has between 142 and 139 and hasn't gone down. It's driving me nuts. I upped the calories last week. I didn't lose any weight, but I did lose inches last week. So I am going to give it some more time to see if the weight will…

Okay this makes more sense now. THANK YOU everyone for responding. drmryder - Yes, I am working out. It varies but usually jogging, pilates and Shred DVD. I work out at least 5 days a week, at least that's my goal. carriebear - I'm moving the calories up. Thank you! No longer the 1200 that MFP has recommended.…

I've had the shakes (the mocha one) for between meals. Yes, I know it says it can "satisfy" your appetite for up to 4 hours, but that isn't the case with me. I would starve if I had to drink one of those in place of a meal. It just wouldn't happen. So I use them when I am driving in the car and have to rush from place to…

I have found some really tasting looking recipes on Pinterest, however you are right not the low-cal options you are looking for. For me, seeing a picture of the food is what sells it. So I found this blog that I follow that has AMAZING pictures of food. Even food that I know I would never eat normally, looks good. So if…

I marinade them in Italian Salad Dressing then steam.

Last month I was there and that's where I found it. I practically choked eating my wrap that I thought wasn't too bad. I should have had a kids hamburger and apples.

Cassie, I do the same thing. Everything happens for a reason, (I believe) so there is a reason why we don't have a full time job. Maybe our dream job is not available yet, or we just have to be patient for the right opportunity to come along. Whatever it is, I hope it isn't too far off because I really would like to have…

Well, at least you have a full 2 years under your belt. Unfortunately, for me, I don't and it's going to hurt when they do open any jobs, especially competing against National Board Certificated Teachers. ugh. Good for you, leaving the bad work environment. I can't imagine working in a place where they don't have a common…

Thank you!! This was quite helpful. I think I may not be eating enough and perhaps that is why I am not losing any weight either. Thanks!

Penelope. Every time I see it, I start saying Penny - lo- pe. It's quite embarrassing!

Thanks for the information. I didn't even consider the cost factor either for buying all the produce. That would be expensive considering I would then be buying the same amount of food for my family. I don't think they would consider going for a liquid diet. Maybe in the summer when produce is readily available I may try…

Did you read the thread by KhollyK??? It was located under: Message Boards » General Diet and Weight Loss Help It was quite interesting. Maybe this can help you. I don't know how to link it or direct you to it. So I copied and pasted it below..... Thu 02/23/12 03:39 PM If you're stuck at a plateau, or just want to be well…

Looks delicious!

Thanks for sharing!
