They are owned by the same company as ALDI. They do have some similar items, but not much. Both have rabid followers though.

I think I eat a salad from there at least 2-3 times a week. The Citrus Chicken salad is only 220 calories and 13 g protein, and delish! Kind of a sweet and sour Thai dressing. Great for days when you are high on calories but hungry! The Chopped House salad is another fav. Staples: Peanut butter! Inner Peas Coffee Cilantro…

Amazing! Congratulations on sticking with it and for winning your age group! Well done!

Oh good tips here! I am running in my second 5K race in the rain tomorrow (100% chance), and was wondering how best to prepare. Towels are a great idea!

Starting it tonight. What # weights do you use?

I was only 10 pounds off when I moved to OH 10 years ago, now I am 20 off! They acted like it was a big deal to change it, so I didn't. I don't think I will ever get back down to 125, but 130 is my low goal. Maybe I should just move to Florida....

This article had some great links to some elliptical sessions that mix it up a bit. I hate the elliptical because it gets dull, but these sound fun. http://www.self.com/flash/fitness-blog/2011/08/from-total-body-to-high-intens/

Hi gals! I am 50 and I have been on here for a few years- although every so often I fall off the wagon with my logging, so my current streak is only 133 days. In these years I have lost very little weight (12 pounds) several inches, (mostly boobs!), 2 pants sizes; but found a love of running and pushing myself, some new…

I hear ya! I don't have an answer, but I completely sympathize. It also seems to fluctuate throughout the month. Jeans with Lycra are a must! Unfortunately, the trousers seem to be a bigger issue. I have found you have to try a LOT of different pairs on, to find ones that fit your figure. Unfortunately for people like us,…

I am terrible at the water. My one secret is that when I (remember to) take a drink of water, I take a BIG drink. In for a sip, in for a cup! so much easier that way. I would like do the lose 10 by St. Patty's Day! I am doing a 5 K a few days before, and really would like to carry 10 pounds less through the race!

A pouch, an overhang where your scar is flat- maybe even indented, and there is a roll that extends over the scar. Even at my thinnest (120/5'7), I still had the roll- I was told it had to do with the way my scar tissue fused with my abdominal wall, as not all are that extreme. The funny thing is, I can't wear one piece…

would rather have the muscle I earned, than fatty, ill-gotten boobs.

Adidas capris - got em at Kohls. Love them, they are not skin tight, have a drawstring and elastic and best of all- they have two pockets! I carry headphones, phone, etc. without worry.

^^^This. Every week I am amazed that I can push myself to run a little longer.

My Goodness! you look like a completely different person! Congratulations on achieving your goal! Amazing job!

I suffered from this problem after going off the pill, stress, peri-menopause, etc. I tried the Invati products at Aveda (OK but expensive), other hair and skin formulas, but I now swear by the Natures Bounty Hair Skin and Nails Gummy Chews. My hair is finally looking like it's old self, and my nails are amazing - even…

Yes- I had terrible headaches on it. not had a problem since. What is does the coconut oil do, and why is it frozen?

In the same boat- I am 5'7" and peaked at 157, which is brushing overweight for my height. I am down to 146 now, but it has been hard work; two steps forward one step back, especially when I am working on lifting and cardio on alternate days. That said, I have never felt better in my life! I am 50 years old, and am…

Coconut water! I found drinking before I go to bed, is a preemptive strike on a hangover! It does taste nasty (although Kern's with Mango isn't bad), so drinking in the morning will either make you hurl or feel better, depending on your constitution. Also, a good idea is to alternate water with whatever you are drinking,…

You look great! (googling German Volume Training...)

Jericho Flash Forward LOST I must look into this Firefly... hmmm!

Wow! That is absolutely incredible. In a year?? Great job!!

bump!

bumping cuz I don't want it to end!!! :sad:

Love my fitbit. I have the flex and I find if I am on the elliptical it can confuse it with the hand bars. It does track accurately if I put my hand on my hip, since it picks up the step motion. Same thing if walking on a treadmill. it usually picks up running on the treadmill just fine.

I got to week 6 and then developed foot issues so I had to stop. I was able to run for 10 minutes straight, break and run again. I am just starting back up, hoping my foot issues are past. It feels so good to run again! It does work!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your inspirational journey! We all need to be reminded that you got to have the mental determination to have the physical outcome!

This is me! I had an ectopic pregnancy and then cesarean 24 year ago. It does flatten out after a while, but you must take care not to gain too much weight or it will grow. I too cannot wear a one piece and two pieces must be heavy fabric or else the c-shelf shows through! I have been working the past year on shrinking it…

Also a big fan of ThinkThin, Chocolate Brownie Crunch is my favorite! They have them at Trader Joes individually, but they are cheaper by the box at Walmart.

Don't see a bust measurement. That was the first thing to go for me :( . Keep at it, you are doing great!!
