  • Hey Trish, this place is a pretty wonderful network of support - I'd love to give a little of that back. :)
  • When I was young, one of my parents gave me a sip of their coffee after I begged, thinking I would spit it out and that would be the end of that. Instead, it was the beginning of a beautiful lifelong obsessive relationship. <3 I take it black, and Costa Rican if I can get it, but otherwise we buy Birds & Beans - a nice…
  • Ooohhh, Seaquest! <3 I think I'll just keep my really fond memories and not revisit. :P I think it says something about my taste in tv that I always love the shows SciFi cancels.
  • Hi Savannah and Amy, ditto! I want to get into a healthy routine while I'm still young - I'm 26, and I feel like I've watched my metabolism visibly slow over the past couple of years. Boo. Adding you both. :)
  • Appreciate all the thoughtful responses. The leftover thing seems really obvious, but I find that it's not as predictable as I'd like for a weeks worth of lunches. I know that, if I make a pot of chili or soup, we will have something leftover, but with a lot of other dishes, it's tougher to call. My portion size is…
  • I do something very similar with the roasted bell peppers, but I love the sweet potato idea! We have a microwave and a fridge, so I have some options. Thanks for the input so far, guys!
  • This made me laugh! I live in a rural place now, but prior to this, I've had some seriously creepy morning encounters involving sketchy people. Now, I have to worry about bears - but I think their responses are a little more predictable than Homo sapiens :P Stay safe, lady, and let the sleeping folks lie!
  • Love the look too! Give me kitten heels and a swing dress any day. Totally feel for the poster who is losing the above and below, feel like I'm suffering some of that too - strength training notwithstanding!
  • Tough question - I struggle with this myself. I work in healthcare, so shifts start between 6 & 7 am. I have the ability to work out in the evenings, but when I'm getting dinner on the table and cleaning and etc... I'd much rather get my workout done first thing. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of helpful solutions to…
  • Late because I was out of town, with no scale access. :) 129.6 -probably not a real loss, but I'm not going to dwell.
  • My goals for Week 2 can be summed up in two words: Eat smarter! I feel like I did really great on working out this past week, but I was all over the place with eating. I rarely logged food, and between traveling for work and feeling guilty I was either way over or way under (neither being very healthy). Breakfast is really…
  • Same here! I would love to have someone to check in with. I'm just trying to get a decent routine, and I don't feel like I have anyone to celebrate the good weeks or commiserate on the bad.
  • I'd love to lose 5lbs - but realistically, I would be pleased with any loss. I really, really just want to develop a consistent workout routine. It's rough for me,, midwinter, to find time for anything but sleep! :/
  • Hi all! I hope this group is still active - love the idea! Between the internet and scifi novels, I feel like I spend way too much of my time sitting around. Trying really hard this year to do something active every day. I live in the northeast, and especially now, in winter, it is way too easy to get sucked into the couch…
