Try dipping carrot sticks in salsa -- YUM. I love all fruit (grapes in particular) for snacking.

Have you considered starting a MFP group on "Fit Smokers" to discuss the concept of smoking tobacco and staying fit? I doubt that anti-smokers will join a group like that.

Cumulative end of week results: 330/400

This. You can change your labels on MFP for that allocation too.

I was thinking the same thing. Too skinny for the tastes of strangers on the Internet? I think your calves look nice and healthy.

This right here. I have no strong feelings either way. I have a cleaning lady and if I did her laborious work, I would probably count it. However, I don't count my daily house cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, etc.. It is like any other hygienic routine. OTOH, I do count grooming my dogs. It wears me out so much that I'm not…

She is about the cutest thing on the planet. Glad she is OK.

This but I use SodaStream to put the fizzy in my water. I also use some of the SodaStream flavors. They use Splenda now but they say they will offer Stevia flavors in the spring. :drinker:

218.36 Miles => 400 goal

If you have a desk job, get a Magnetrainer (Magnetrainer.com).

I fizzy and flavor mine with a SodaStream. I also like tea.

Bumpity Bump instead of starting a new thread. I'm LOVING Zevia fruity flavors. I mostly like that they don't have much (if any) artificial coloring. The grape flavor (delicious) is clear as is strawberry. I'm not thrilled about the cola flavors but the fruit ones are great!! I'm getting mine on Amazon.com using the…

When I go to sleep listening to inspirational words or music -- no bad dreams. I like Daily Audio Bible (podcast, online, etc.) http://dailyaudiobible.com

As of 1/5 - 105 down & 295 to go.

Gotta love Snopes. I don't understand how people don't check it before passing on stuff they receive on the 'net.

I was thinking the same thing but would not have stated it so eloquently.

Because some folks like to crap on threads instead of ignoring them. I disagree that you can't live on fruits and veggies though. You can thrive on my "Killer Salad". Salads with any and all combination of veggies like lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, red onions, dried or fresh tomatoes, green beans, pinto beans,…

I'm leaving my goal at 400 miles. More stuff has been happening lately that interferes with my cycling time.

Took last mile for 2012 (if t doesn't snow and I get to go out with friends). Grand total: 465.42 :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I'm not much of a meat eater but I rarely eat cows (never pig). A little poultry or fish is about all the meat I can stand. Yes, I love turkey bacon.

Understand falling off the wagon. I did the same 10 years ago after staying fit for several years by tracking. Friend up if you keep your diary open to your friends. New ideas is how I stay motivated.

Classic 4a here with near butt- length locs. The gray strands are coming in at all levels1-4 but no "z". Glad I locked up 13 years ago.

This if HEALTH and FITNESS is you goal not just losing weight. I like natural sugar in grapes, mandarins, and apples. Google nutrition info on fruits and veggies you like and enjoy them.

324.11 cycle miles with 75.89 to go.

You look fabulous and I'm so happy for you. I know you felt about seeing the "skinny" version of you. Actually, I think it shows that you have a good self-image but still decided to get rid of the excess weight. Slow and steady is the best way to lose weight, IMO. You've made a lifetime change so you'll likely remain fit…

Feel free to add me if you leave your diary open to your friends here. I'm not very chatting but I do share my diary so friend up with others who do.

As of yesterday, 12/15, I've biked 227.01 miles towards my 400 mile December goal. FYI - My daily goal is 20 miles but I decrease that in 5 mile increments based on activity (shopping, meetings, driving, etc.) but try to get in 5 miles/day minimum.

Some people always look on the bright side of things. The very fact that you are alive and mobile is a blessing and they may be happy to see you in a positive place in life. Also, Christmas time makes many of us especially pleased to see family, friends, and even acquaintances. Compliments will abound -- rightfully so.…

So true. I'm 5'10" and several Swedes came to the USA for a work project with me. The women, who were taller than I, expressed happiness to see a tall woman here. One guy said he was glad I drove a Volvo. LOL! OTOH when I vacationed in Hong Kong and Beijing, the Chinese took pictures of me and made comments about me being…

Aiming for 400 miles cycling.
