  • i just started eating hummus and with a little (actually a lot) of red pepper it has made my raw carrots easier to eat with a little dip!
  • Welcome!!!! i suggest you get some friends (several have asked to be added already) I put down more of my personal struggles for them to see than I do here in the community. If i have a good day i say it and if my day is really bad I say it, if I need to be "kicked" back in line they help me out. You get to know everybody…
  • Awesome!!!! That must feel great! I am so looking forward to being able to do the same!
  • i have it and managed to get thru the first two weeks, but then I got bored. The music leaves a lot to be desired --- but......... it seemed to be working when I was doing it every night and the progression from one dvd to the next was good for me, not to little and not to much.Good luck to ya and keep us posted!

  • what a great idea! we have a community park clean up day coming up at the end of the month i always participate in also. "Keep America Clean"
  • i am friends with charger440 on here and he post a mini challenge every morning and so far nothing has required equipment -- I repeat some of them everyday (arm curls, calf lifts, push ups) and just add on his mini challenge. for example he does 200 arm curls (100 per arm) start with your weights you already have and then…

  • I brought all my easter candy and cookies to the office! Let the skinny people eat!!!
  • i try and stick between 20-30 a day and I am fine, but I would strongly recommend keeping track of what else you do eat. Don't go to high in fat or cholesteral (atkins way). My sister and I follow a similar plan of 2-30 carbs a day and after our last doctor visit discovered her cholesteral went sky high, but mine actually…

  • short to the point story --- my friend at work tried it and spent the day in the bathroom, she did lose weight, but no how I want to spend my saturday. her response, at least it was a Saturday!
  • i did commit 100% to this for myself, but working in an office with 7 other "skinny" women who have called me the "fat one" one too many times is very motivating. Keep in mind ladies I may be the "fat one" now but I have always been the smart one and in a year I will be the "skinny smart one" and a total threat!
  • after taking my daughter to the orthopaedic doc a year ago - we discovered it wasn't really shin splints but stress fractures caused by Anterior Compartment Symdrom. Best to just take a rest and them after vacay get it checked out. Her's got so bad that she got stress fractures from her own muscles pressing on the bone.…

  • I am a 40DD and I use a Hanes her way front zip that I got at Sears just a few weeks ago. Love the front zip it is just so much eaiser to get into and the razor back keeps my straps where they belong and original price was around $30 and they had 30% off. I just bought a size smaller (XL) and it holds the girls nice and…
  • My boobs stick our futher than my stomach!
  • I started the C25K program two weeks ago for the first time! And so far I really like it and the more I read of people's adventures about it on here the more I think I am going to like it in the weeks to come! Did you exercise much before, or was this the get moving program? Well, i had a secret love relationship with my…
  • Bought my office hand weights at lunch today, walked up the steps to my fourth floor office with them and this afternoon on a conference call I will try and get in as many as I can --- thanks! and I look forward to more mini's!
  • i wonder this also and I love her DVD's! I gave one as a birthday gift last year and my friend also loves it and then she bought and gave one as a birthday gift to her other friend!
  • I have worked a deal out with the owner of the consignment shop - of course that was when I was gaining weight, but now that I am losing she has offered to work a trade (with a small fee) if I bring her back my bigger sizes! see if you can work a deal with the owner! my lady is always especially gratefull for my work…
  • not sure what to do about the water by I will send you an idea that my cousin (who is a teacher) used at her school and it has now reached the intire school district and has turned into a compition with prizes at the end of the year. They made use of those DVD players and large screens! Every day after the kids all go home…
  • i have recently become a fan of the Atkins shakes - just crab and go and they have several flavors and are pretty good - just added one to my lunch today, 12g :smile:
  • I have a pretty busy life also, but I found time to exercise during my LONG conferrance calls! i bought a step stool, keep it under my desk and while I am listening I am stepping! I also started parking at the back of the parking lots, work, grocery store, school functions (for the kids) etc. Those added steps have helped…
  • Awesome!!!!!! I am so jealous, but I will be there soon!
  • i started to go with plain a-line skirts with elastic, plain t-shirts, cardigans and scarfs - the skirts I just pull the elastic up(hard to find, but I only need a few basic colors, navy, black, tan, denim), t-shirts are cheap to replace (mens hanes 3 pack, white, black, gray and wash in hot to shrink) cardigans can always…

You will never need them again!!!!! we have a consignment shop in our area that I can take my clothes to and as I sell off the bigger sizes I can…
  • Welcome and good luck! With a busy schedule I have found it easier (over time) to pre-package my food for the week on Sunday evenings. My kids think that fridge looks silly monday morning with all my little plastic containers of food - pre-bagged veggie mix for snacks, pre-cooked and bagged hamburger patties with a slice…
  • i usually eat the same thing every day for breakfast - two egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled with a little chopped ham, bacon or sausage (what ever in on sale that week). I like the routine of it - simple no need to think. I usually eat the same thing for lunch too - prepack on Sunday night for the week. Getting me and…
