Hope you get good news!! Fingers are crossed!!!:flowerforyou:

That is so true and congratulations on your progress! :drinker: I do believe I am getting there too. Every time I am on the treadmill, I kick it up a notch in some way and just keep talking to myself. Many times I tell myself that if those people on the BL can do this, then why can't i? So much is in our heads. WE CAN DO…

For me its Biggest Loser, American Idol, Monk, Psyche, The Office, and SNL.

Fajitas!! Cut up the chicken and cook in a skillet with a little EVOO. Add green peppers and onions. Wrap it up with some salsa, lite cheddar cheese, and lite or fat free sour cream. I also love adding some hot sauce to it.:smooched: My favorite!:bigsmile:

Ok, so I am pretty much a beginner at this but I have been trying to do some type of intervals. I have started out at 3.5 (brisk walk),for 3 minutes, then I kick into a pretty good jog at 4.5 for 4 minutes and keep alternating. Is this beneficial for me or should I try it differently?:ohwell:

You all have such great ideas and advice! Today I was starting to go for the candy jar when I remembered some advice I read on the boards.......Drink water and wait to see if you are still hungry. Then I thought about someone else saying how you should think about if you are really hungry and why you are reaching for food.…

Staying strong with late nights!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Good point! Makes me wonder if I really bought it for them or me to begin with.:blushing:

I went and bought candy treats for my class and now I cannot resist the temptation!!!:noway: :embarassed: I was doing really well too! I have still stayed pretty much within my calories but I am feeling so weak!!:ohwell: Why can't I resist those darn peanut butter cup miniatures!:angry: I say I will only have one and end…

Welcome!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: You will love this site! Congrats on your new baby and good luck on all your goals!!:drinker: :bigsmile:

I am in! I have not snacked all of Feb. so far!!!:bigsmile: Have a great non- snacking night everyone!!!:flowerforyou:

I am so glad I worked out on the treadmill last night!:drinker: I ended up doing some interval work and even kicked it up a notch. I felt great!!! Tonight is BL Cardio Max!!:bigsmile:

Making that U-turn with you! I had the same kind of day!! :grumble: As my GPS says....."recalculating.....":laugh: Good luck!!:flowerforyou:

Thanks because I was just thinking I am too tired to get on that treadmill. I am at least going to go 30 minutes!:bigsmile: I am just so tired right now! :yawn: The good thing is that I know I will feel better after!:smokin:

I am with ya! I teach in a high poverty inner city school so I feel some of your stress too. These kids have parents locked up or living with other relatives and we have to make sure they pass a test! ON another note, today was a teacher work day. I was real good about packing a lunch and BAM, my friend talked me into…

Thanks!! I needed that! :flowerforyou: Especially after the terrible day I had today.:mad: :sad: Starting again tomorrow!!:bigsmile:

Big Mac, Filet O Fish, Quarter Pounder, French fries, icey coke, thick shakes, sundaes, and apple pies!! Anyone remember that jingle? I love McDonalds!! How about "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle, onions, on a sesame seed bun!":laugh: :laugh:

i am with you!! I gave up my coffee when I found out I had high blood pressure (mostly caused by stress). I feel soooo much better without it. I miss it ,but I also drink green tea on weekends. Otherwise I have cut caffeine altogether. I do miss my hazelnut creamer too. Too many calories though!!!:cry:

Thanks all!! :flowerforyou: The cake is in the trash! :bigsmile: Now I have to get through Valentine's Day and my birthday!:drinker: Just found out my two sisters are coming in town for it. Should be fun! The good news is that they are both healthy eaters. I'm the fat sister:embarassed: I just hate when I feel like they…

I have been really good about not staying after too late and getting home to exercise. My worst time of day is right after the kids leave. I am STARVING and usually will eat whatever is close. :noway: I've been trying to munch on almonds to help. :tongue: What is the toughest part of your day?

Sounds great to me!:happy: We are going through testing this week and our students didn't perform as well as we had hoped and admin. is coming down on us.Talk about stressful. I thought teaching was supposed to be fun!!:sad:

I need someone to talk me out of eating the left over birthday cake from my husband's birthday. Its just sitting there and I had a few small bite size pieces already!:frown: I can't get myself to get rid of it because I would feel guilty if I threw it out. (Wasting food) The other bad part is that my birthday (the BIG 40)…

Good luck with your goals! You can do it!!! :flowerforyou: I am trying to get my 70 year old mom on this site. She needs to lose more than you but I need to find a way to her motivated! :ohwell: I don't live near her so it makes it harder. I know if we lived near each other we could do it together.:frown: Anyway, take care…

That is soo true! You can actually tuck in around and not have a huge gap in the towel!!:laugh: :laugh:

What if you are on beta blockers? Still beneficial to get one? They slow your heart rate.:ohwell:

I am! Love the show and just did the Yoga DVD with "Bob." LOL:bigsmile:

I checked ****'s Sporting Goods today and the F6 is $109 with free shipping! You can go to amazon.com or ebay too!

I am in the same boat and have been considering buying a heart rate monitor. I think its our best bet. There have been several posts about them. Let me know if you hear anything good!:happy:

There is a great recipe on the back of Shake and Bake. You coat the chops with Grey Poupon, add rosemary to the shake and bake crumbs, coat chops. They are soo good! :smooched: Also they have a recipe to go with it for potatoes. Dice up potatoes and mix with Light Done Right Italian Dressing. Microwave for 7 min. (stirring…
