BTW Miss Sassy, son't feel old, i'm 42 and my sons are 18 and 20!!! Us 'finely aged' women are where its at! :laugh: I work for the American Heart Association as a Healthcare Account Manager - I'm responsible for making sure that my hospital and health systems accounts BUY and USE AHA CPR programs, such as ACLS, BLS, and…

What an inspiring Post and supportive Challenge. I'm in. :smile: My starting weight was 145-point -something-or-another and my goal weight is 130. In the past I have experienced good results following along Sugar Busters (my favorite), South Beach, the Sonoma Diet, etc. But I have NOT made the decision to choose into a…

I appreciate you guys soooo much! Onward and upward!!!:flowerforyou:

Way to go :wink: ...that's inspirational, especially since so much of what we celebrate always involves food! :noway: :sad: I wish that wasn't always true...oh well. You stuck to your guns girl, and should be very happy, congratulations! :flowerforyou: I'm going to my cousin's for brunch...I'll have a healthy snack before…

Hey Blues! TGIF...last week I posted on the message boards about eating a pizza...it has taken almost the whole week to work it off. I have this pattern..when I begin to get close to a goal and feel successful, I blow it. Now I know its' all in my head, so this weekend, I am not blowing it. I am closer to my goal than ever…

Okay...then I'll commit, because to say 'I'll try it" is not the type of commitment this program requires.:noway: I'll preview the dvds and then plan on starting next week! My 42nd b-day is June 13, so I will definitely see some results then, woot,woot! :smooched: This week completes 2 weeks for TJ and I have to say I…

Glad to be on Big Blue!! Woot, woot :glasses: I have a small goal, but it feels big because I feel impatient about getting there, but I know it takes time and dedication to eating right and exercising...yeah...I saw that after I ate a bag of cheddar cheese popcorn :laugh: BUT I didn't exceed my calories today, so far. I…

Hi Jammers, Checking in with CP1...whew, what a workout. Just got my ChaLEAN Extreme stuff, I need to sit down with a strong cup of coffee to read it and comprehend just what I'm thinking about getting myself into. I'll also post on the CE thread too. I know there are some CE users on this thread...should I keep it or send…

Great!! Awesome that you've already done so well on your journey. Welcome to MFP, we're all glad to have you. There are lots of threads/topics, so jump on in! :flowerforyou: :wink: :smile:

Hi Drevan, About those calories...I eat EVERYTHING it says I can :tongue: When I set my goals on MFP, it set at the 1200 calorie minimum, which I think is too low for me. When I exercise I use "Circuit training, general" under the aerobics section - for 40 minutes it says about 360 calories..I don't have a HRM yet ( not…

I don't blame you for being worried. I would strongly urge you to resonsider and stop taking all of that stuff, here's why: 1. Most, if not all of the over the counter supplements are not regulated or approved by the FDA. They all put a disclaimer on their products, "....these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA,…

Hey Jammers! Checking in with 20 min & AJ - I did CP 1 Monday; I skipped yesterday, will do a 'make-up' over the weekend :wink: Everyone is doing an amazing job....I am in my 2nd week of TJ and it has been the thing to get my metabolism kicked up. Also I find that I need and want more calories, I go for about 1500 on days…

Grill on, grill on....! I'm happy to share...

I'm still working on having more power to change what I used to want to eat... I caved in on Friday and had Domino's pizza, but I promised myself after I went window shopping on Saturday, to stay the course... Well today, the thought of a Cheeseburger Happy Meal entered my mind. :noway: I did not give in!! I took some deep…

Love snacks...especially in the afternoon... Almonds, 12-24 Soy or Greek yogurt Soyjoy bars a piece of fruit, like a pear or grapes SF Jello Pudding snack cups or SF Jello snack cups No Sugar Added Fudgsicles (just 45 calories!!!) Laughing Cow Mini Babybel chees - light or regular WASA light ryescrips (in place of…

Forgot to include this earlier...there is a tip I heard that may help ...when shopping at the market, shop around the periphery of the store...meat/chicken/fish....dairy....fresh produce....whole grain bread/healthy breads aisle...its common that the most processed stuff is in the 'aisles' and the healthier stuff is around…

Hey Ladies! Janet that shower sounded like fun, I love charades...good for you for getting CP2 in there!! Woot Woot, Hi Lyn, Deedun, Megan...Drevan, everyone! Okay, I took today off, did TJ 6 days last week. Needed to because of that pizza slip-up! :noway: My fault, I knew what I was doing when I committed the crime.…

I agree!! I don't even want some of the stuff that I say I 'craved' I changed the wiring my brain responded...the stuff I used to eat doesnt even taste that good anymore...it just takes some time

This person was just offering her perspecitve to help and she is relating and trying to offer support. I think she is spot on....if you aren't happy, no matter what, then the weight may not be the issue. If you've never been 'big' on seeing a therapist, it doesn't mean they cannot help. You share that you don't have the…

Hey Ladies (and Gents??) ! Checking in with L&B, did Burn segment twice. :smokin: :smokin: Last night I ate a domino's thin crust cheese pizza, about 90% of the large...LMAO. :laugh: The thin pizza and the itsty-bitsy square slices get me every time. I enjoyed it! :happy: I enjoyed it so much so that I'm going to to L&B…

Deep breath...let it alll go Dave! As an RN, I have to warn you to be careful with the drugs...they're getting recalled all the time. Just because its on the market and a doctor prescribed it doesn't mean its safe. If you've been a yo-yo dieter or tried other extreme measures in the past, you metabolism may be out of…

Put the chocolate in the freezer, consume in small amounts. I get the large bars of dark chocolate on occasion and I put them in the freezer and take a small square at a time. :happy: Everything in moderation!! Enjoy your chocolate in small amounts as a 'treat' for reaching a milestone or goal. :flowerforyou: Welcome and…

Hi ChaLeaners... Just wanted to check in and tell you how inspiring you are. I got a tracking notice for my dvd shipment, should arrive by Monday or Tuesday next week. I went online to look for a managable set of weights...came across a set called SportBlock by PowerBlock...http://www.PowerBlock.com) that are sold on…

Hi Deedun, Megan Janet, Drevan, Kennie, all of the Jammers!!! Checking in with CP1. I cannot believe I complete a whole week of workout videos! This is an accomplishment for me :drinker: :flowerforyou: I owe it to the enthusiastic Jammers on this thread, thank you! I love CP1!! I'm sticking with the schedule in the booklet…

It seems like her workouts are pretty low intensity. If she really wants to know how effective her workouts are, MFPers use a HRM by Polar. I've seen recommended a F6, F7, F11 or the Reebok monitor. 20 minutes in the morning an 20 minutes at night of walking may not be adequate for her metabolism, if there aren't any…

If its not open, return it! Get the Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. You still have to cook on the stove and its only 5-6 minutes and better than instant.

Don't be ashamed...you admitted it and asked for feedback. I agree with the other poster...look for something you can eat, dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 60% or greater is an excellent choice and high in antioxidants. I keep the sugar free Jello chocolate pudding on hand - not the healthiest choice - but its okay…
