I want answers too. I have been doing various styles of crunches every day (100) so I can try and tighten my muscles.

Bump

we need more funnies people, it's FRIDAY!

That's what I said this morning! I may have looked like that too, nah not nearly as adorable. This thread is hysterical, please keep em coming.

up until a few weeks ago I believed this :sad:

She has named them all. You have to do the work and cook all your meals at home but it is cheaper in long run. Avoid all snacks and processed food and buy in bulk, especially chicken. Cut portions down which you should be doing anyway and you will be surprised how far your money will go. I feed a family of 6 (3 teenage…

I think I'll give this a whirl thanks for sharing

Get a referral from your doctor and you will get undivided attention with a nutritionist who will work with you and give you a plan to follow. Been there and done that. Wish I had listened :(

If your doing that much exercise then you are definitely under eating and it will catch up to you and you will not lose.

THIS ^^^^ I got a food scale last weekend and I was grossly shocked at what I thought I was doing. I eye balled some things and then weighed them and couldn't believe it. I use measuring cups and spoons as much as possible but you would be surprised how much veggies and chicken weigh or don't weigh. Also make sure you…

Cut back on sodium and drink alot more water. Some days it looks as if you go without all together. You're calories seem okay but maybe you could change a few things to more healthier alternatives. Skip the skinny cows for about 2 weeks and substitute fresh fruit or a hard boiled egg. Protein is good, sodium is bad :)

OMG Thank you for sharing. This will be a perfect summer treat the kids can make and will indulge my sweet tooth! Please share any other wonderful recipes you may have stored! :happy:

Housekeeper! I spend Saturday's cooking and cleaning all day. A housekeeper would be a great plus!

See maybe I had it backwards. Definitely think it has to do with age just not sure which way it goes.

I used to over cook my eggs all the time and the yolk would look green on the outside. My husband said haven't you ever heard the saying the 8 minute egg? No I said, and 8 minutes isn't quite "done" enough for me so I bring them to a boil and as soon as it starts a rolling boil I turn the heat off and let sit in the hot…

My tummy is growling now because I had a muffin for breakfast instead of my hard boiled egg and string cheese. Crazy but true. And I've had 4 glasses of water in the last 2 hours so no water doesn't fill me up but it does swish around my belly.

That is great NSV! I always compare my weight loss to a frozen turkey. Because you're not physically carrying the weight in your hands you don't realize what it is doing to you and how much of a difference until you start shedding the weight. Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

Any and all veggies (I prefer fresh or frozen, canned has sodium) Eggs Yogurts tortilla wraps in lieu of bread Fruit chicken fish more chicken :)

Anymore good recipes you all care to share :D

Thanks, I was always confused by this.

He is a loser. I would have come back with a snarky comment myself or simply said wow you really are an asshat. You look great. Screw him and the horse he rode in on.

bumoing for later

Damn she's right. I need to buy a crossbow.

He would definitely grab a shot gun, 14 yr old daughter would grab cell phone and computer, 16 yr old Son would grab first aid kits and camp gear, 17 yr old son would just run like hell, 14 yr old son would just sit there until we put him in a car, Me? I'd grab my dog, she'd make a good hunter if not good eaten!

I am just starting to get the hang of eating all day long and while I don't lose quickly I'm more satisfied and happy. I lose about a pound a week so this is a slow and steady race. I am still working on eliminating a few bad habits (damn cookies) but I'm getting there. This is how my day went: 6:30am small coffee 7:00am…

This is more of a tip but I always buy the crock pot liners. I love using them, it's quick and easy clean up. :flowerforyou:

Chicken and Gravy Cheap and simple meal that my kids love. Basic chicken breast, chicken broth, and Cream of Chicken soup. Dump it all in crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours. 8 if chicken was frozen. I serve this over pasta, rice, and with veggies.
