metal cookie cutters and a lobster hammer or meat tenderizer hammer. Let the kids pick random cookie cutters and whack them into the pumpkin at various locations!

Humor! Humor! Humor!! you know what evian is spelled backwards?!?!?! HA!!

that is super fantastically awesome!! way to go!! you are doing a wonderful job, and articulated it so well! best of luck to you! ps -- does it say something about the US as our size 4 is your size 8. that is so unfortunate for the US! if only sizes could be regulated some how! then we wouldn't have the "size 0" or…

I don't have calves -- I have steer! no matter how much I loose, God has blessed me with big calves :drinker:

I too have lost weight and people always want to know 1)how did you do it? 2)i bet you don't eat anything sweet or junk food? what are you always exercising? and you are so very right, slow down on the intake double up on the movement and drink lots o water! Way to go! awesome!

Love this thread! Thanks for making it! Thanks for adding your fantastic tips to it! I've turned to skipping the flavored creamers (usually high in calories) using the Vanilla Almond Milk, and you can use 1/2 cup for 45 calories! Get an old salt/pepper shaker, put in 1 park granulated sugar (or substitute) and 2 parts…

HELP!! My FITBIT went through the washing machine!! I realized it just as it was entering the spin cycle!! I've rolled a tissue up to hold it apart, and have it in a zippy bag full of dried white rice!! So totally freaked out, so totally bummed, SO VERY MUCH DON"T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE!! WHAT NOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !…

I don't watch sugars, as I need to watch iron more so (thus too many columns). But keeping them to basic fruits, veggies, dairy sugars are better than straight sugar with coffee, sugar desserts, sugar sauces. You need a little reward sometimes! Try adding some veggies as snacks, add them to stir fry, double up on them for…

Always -- coffee with silk almond milk (45 calories for 1/2 cup sweetened-vanilla type) small banana fit & active yogurt (pumpkin) fiber one cereal (1/4 cup) -- on top of yogurt --or-- whole wheat toast table spoon pumpkin butter string cheese --or-- baked sweet potato 1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter (mix in potato)…

try this: go to the gym, pick up weights that equal or come close to 92 pounds. Now walk around with it (or even borrow them for an afternoon) and carry it everywhere you go for a day/morning/afternoon. Hard huh?! Yeah, guess what, you're not doing that anymore! Set backs help us enjoy the joys that much more!!

How totally awesome! Nicely done! Super happy for you (and well, also a little pea green with envy)! Way to go!

Yep! Big milestone! Been there saw that! Keep it up!

that would be super cool to have a torch, but I have boys and we'd soon have all foods torched!:laugh:

Once you get to the last few pages, they will tell you not to take it all so literal. Some does make perfect sense, some of it is very "shock value" and it does appear they went to a slaughter house and picked the most extreme people to interview and ask questions too. Good take away points for sure, but that's the way…

Kids are awesome like that! And they'll keep you on track too, "hey mom, are you going to your exercise time today"!! Blessing, true blessing!

I have a digital (with tenths of pounds) and it also measures water % and fat %, You put in several statistics (gender, height, weight) I believe it's a biggest looser variety. Love it. I also use a tape measure and follow those losses as well. Word to the wise, always weigh/measure in the same flat floor location, always…

I've lost his (elephant's) heart!!

Welcome to #1-der-land!! One-der-land is happy to have you!! Yeah!

-- buy a set of measuring cups and spoons. 1=office, 1=home. use them all the time! -- stir-fry (using light brooth or water and seasoning) not oil for dinner meals. -- use chopsticks to eat stir fry meal, slows down your eating --only food i gave up was salad dressings. now all i use is flavored vinagers --ask pizza…

To quote an earlier thread this week: Rather than give you bogus information about meal frequency, or hot sauce, or a crash diet.... NEAT: Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. It's the stuff you do when you're not in the gym. It's the walking your dog, or the cleaning of the house, or the mowing of the grass. It's the…

Goodwill, ValuVillage, Consignment stores are the best! I've found Coco Channel, Talbots, DKNY, LLBean, Bebe, and various other top brands. Yes, you have to look, and no they normally don't sort by size, but you can find several pieces to offset changing sizes for little to nothing. Awesome problem to have!! I'm with ya,…

Couldn't you do the same at any place that lists food content? Was in Panera the other day and noticed they list theirs on the big menu board! Could do the same there. Like the Subway guy, same concept. So what we've learned is if you keep count of intake, along with water, and exercise it could lead to weight…

Do it for yourself, but klnow you're teaching your children how to be healthy! Fitbit is awesome! Keeps me motivated! Log your foods and water -- drink lots of water, when it gets boring add slice of citrus, cucumber, mint, or if ya need a sweet, add a mio or crystal light type mix. Lots of veggies are almost "free"…

I have a basic cheap one (not digital) under 15 dollars. Also, love my dollar store sets of measure sets of cups and spoons. One set for work, one for home.:smile: cheers to you!

Www.skinnytaste.com is an awesome website!!
