Just trying to figure everything out. This site is new to me. Need help getting off by butt!!

Gimme wellness

I have been looking into going on a wheat free diet. I eat a lot of gluten free products and I am looking for the benefits of what that will do for my health. When I saw a list of things that are affected by gluten, such as depression, joint pain, etc, and I had about 8 of the 10 things, I thought I'd give it a try.…

my husband runs and he likes to listen to Army Cadence as he goes. He likes the chants and finds he controls his breathing better with it.

I Love my crock pot too. Nothing beats coming home from work not having to think about what to make for dinner when you're exhausted from your day. The smell of an all ready supper to greet you at the door is fantastic!!

prior to finding MFP i had lost 60lbs by just making small changes... whole wheat pasta and bread instead of white pasta, increasing fruits and veggies, moving more, cutting out the late night snacking. All those cliche tricks...well they work. Think of it as a lifestyle change and not a diet and just live your best life…

do you have a healthy friend that you could tag along with to the gym? or to discuss getting back into the healthy lifestyle zone? you tend to live what you surround yourself with, so find all the healthy ppl to shadow for a while.

fruit smoothie- i cup of mixed frozen berries, 1 cup almond milk, a couple handfuls of spinach, 2 Tablespoons chocolate protein powder, and after it's mixed I put in 2 Tablespoons of chia seeds. Also, a huge mug of tea!!

i had to run an errand today and my boss offered to let me use his car. Instead I walked.

hmmm... protein powder in the muffins. Great idea.

way to Go!!!! Fantastic job!!

wow, this'll be fun...trying it later. Tho I do know what I looked like 20lbs slimmer...it was just last summer!! dammit!!

Jessica Seinfeld has a book called "Deceptively Delicious". it's a way to hide veggies in other foods. ie: mashed squash in mac and cheese,mashed cauliflower in mashed potatoes or in scrambled eggs, spinach in brownies. works like a charm!! Just more ways to get veggies in.

just amazing. your hard work has certainly paid off!! you deserve that holiday...enjoy!!

Great Job!!! Lots of luck with your healthy new lifestyle....and good for you for seeing it that way.

would it be better just with sugar free jam?? I eat breakfast on the go too. I mix yogurt with cottage cheese and a bit of Kashi berry cereal on top. i love muffins...Southbeach Diet has some great recipes. add a hard boiled egg on the side and some fruit.

ok sista...i looked at your food journal...yikes!!! do you really not eat dinner?? and Frosted Flakes?? holy smokes girl!! lol I don't see ANY veggies or fruit in your diet. you eat a lot of sweets and junk food. If you wanna get healthy, you have to think healthy, be healthy. Educate yourself. Go back to that Doctor and…

my saddle bags!! and if it were at all possible to get rid of varicose veins and stretch marks with exercise I would be all over it!! I would also like to get rid of my bad knee and my even worse back pain. I feel like an old lady every morning. Blah!!

Fantastic Job!! Your arms look so toned. You must feel Great!!

Mmmm, thanks!!

i have not lost 100 lbs either, but when I'm losing focus I think about the person I want to be and that brings back my willpower. I know I'm beautiful, sexy, active and healthy...and if I say it enough I believe it and I live it. I'm not on a diet, I'm living a Healthy Life, and my life reflects that. Ooops, not one line,…

Good Bye back fat!!! way to go girl!!

I'm on board too!! good luck on your journey...well not luck, just knowledge, willpower and the desire to sweat!! lol anyone can add me.

I am completely blown away. in 100 days you accomplished that?!! Incredible!! Good for you for learning and improving, not just jumping on the bandwagon only to gain it all back. Make it your lifestyle and you will have continued success. Here's to your healthy future.

you look so fit and healthy!! and a lot younger!! way to go!!

way to go!! You'll both be able to teach your little guy all about healthy eating and living healthy. Awesome!!!

that's fantastic!! Great Job!!

i Love them as simple as a baked potato!!!

Great Job Girl!!! Here's to a Happy Healthy Life ahead for you!!!

I've been on for a few weeks and am still trying to figure things out. I would love your support, and would love in return to support you too. Feel free to add me. I'm 5'10" and 170/160 is my goal. I don't want to be super skinny, but I want to be healthy and fit. Glad you share the same goals.
