I wish I could be of more help, but I just dont know the answers. I do know that you can get unsweetened soy drink that would have less sugar. I get my protein from a whey powder instead of soy. The type I got is sugar and starch-free, which works for me because I have eliminated both from my food intake. I hope that…

As a former cosmetologist, I saw plenty of "interesting" hair colors from people who tried to go blonde at home. Trust me when I say that it is much better to go to a professional to get it done. It is much easier (and cheaper) than having to go see one to try to repair the disaster you might create on your own!

Try thinkgeek.com It is truly the coolest online store ever!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually pre-log, and then make changes during the day if necessary. Pre-logging gives me a good idea of where I want to be for the day. Plus, it eliminates the chance of me making rushed food choices which usually turn out really bad for me!

Love this idea and am going to use it! Good luck with your million mile walk!! LOL

That is adorable!!

Will you please be sure to post pictures this summer?????? :) Can't say as I have ever seen pink lycra leiderhosen! LOL

I have a whole section of my closet devoted to clothing that I am looking forward to wearing this summer! Cute sundresses, sleeveless tops, capris, and a mini-dress that is going to drive my bf crazy! Of course new running shorts and tank tops too!

I have become compulsive about weighing in. I weigh in every day at the same time, and then record my weight in 3 places (just in case I lose my phone or my computer crashes?? LOL) Really, seeing the numbers every day helps me identify how my body is reacting to my habits. I am trying hard to learn to read my body, so the…

For me it is chest and arms. If any ink is showing, that only adds to the draw.

Body shot will be taken later today. It is something I have been thinking about for the last few days, anyways. I do take full body shots for my own personal records, but LOL, I would be kicked off of MFP in a heartbeat if I posted them!!! So... additional goal for today is to get a full body shot WITH CLOTHING and post it…

Sodium was definitely not my friend this week! I can predict amazingly accurately if I will lose or gain, depending on my sodium intake.

It is incredibly refreshing to see a thread that is so "nice". Lately, I have read too many that weren't. I am glad that there are people out there who seem genuinely good-hearted and supportive (even of those of us who may not be super athletes yet). I, too, am more than willing to be supportive of anyone who would like…

Welcome!! MFP is a great place to find inspiration! I am afraid that I can't be a great asset as a workout partner (halfway across the country is a little impractical, LOL), but I would be happy to be your online friend! You have already made such awesome progress!!! That in itself is inspirational to me! Add me as a…

Of course you can make it!!!!! If you can already make it around the block, you have a good place to start!!! And don't forget....Mr. Turtle is the one who won the race :) This is the right place to come if you are looking for someone to cheer you on, encourage you when you are down, or plain and simply ride your butt when…

Not anymore :) I was so excited when I got a lower reading on the scale than he did. Of course, his arms are like the size of my thighs!! And yes, I did share my weight with him even when I was higher. That was actually part of my initial incentive to lose....I was embarrassed and wanted to change it as promptly as…

Hi! I am 44 and love this site! I welcome all friend requests :) It is especially nice to find people who are "chronologically advanced" like I am.

.

I give up.... LOL, I am feeling technologically handicapped today!!!

grrrr.... I just realized I don't know how to put a picture on here!

I never thought I would drink a protein shake, and especially never drink one that had SPINACH in it! This morning, I did both.....and LOVED it!!

I would probably laugh if someone used a pet name with me on here. There is not a single person here who knows me well enough to do that. I guess I would see it as totally insincere and would wonder what that person hoped to gain by saying it. Having said that, though, I do know that there are people from certain parts of…

I love your commitment!! Driving to Duluth to work out can be a challenge during the winter (normal winters, anyways)! But then, finding classes and instructors you like can be a great incentive. I had a trainer who I adored, but he quit training :( I have found a good replacement, though, so I can't complain!

I would give up smoking, but I did that 12 years ago.... I would give up caffeine, but I did that 7 years ago..... I would give up added sugar, but I did that 2 months ago.... I would give up starch, but ....yeah.... already did that too.... I KNOW!!!! I will give up MY BODY FAT!! For Lent, I will not put on any more…

No worries.... It is a little soapbox, and most people have no trouble walking by and ignoring it.
