  • Wow, there is a definite difference - 16 days. You look like you are doing great. I so want to try that program, but I'm nervous about it. It looks like maybe a lot of jumping kinds of moves and i'm not sure my knees would be forgiving for that much jumping. (they get sore and rebel when i walk sometimes.)
  • I know what you mean about it being easier to grab and go at the drive through - but I would recruit some of those kids to help you. I mean maybe you could find an hour as a family to prep meals for the week. And then you can grab and go at home. Some simple ideas. I make a smoothie every morning with fruit, honey if it…
  • bump, yep making this over the weekend!
  • Yes, I work with a trainer two days a week, BUT (isn't there always one?) when I talk to her about weights she ALWAYS refers me to the machines and while those are great sometimes, I want to be able to do stuff at home when time won't allow. So I was trying to figure out some things I could do here. And when we work…
  • I shoot for 14 - 16 cups.
  • There are people in the world who bring themselves up by on the backs of others. And the thing is as long as we stay bent over they can keep climbing. But once you stand up - for you and on your own - then they can't climb anymore and they start falling. People see them for their true colors because you and your colors are…
  • B U M P Cuz this I gotta have. I love my mug cake but always wish for 1/2 the calories. Who says dreams can't come true!
  • When I started I only told a select few people. My bestie who I knew would cheer me even if it got bad, my boss cuz I needed to adjust my work schedule and my trainer. I told my mom at about the 15 lb mark. And I didn't tell son or hubs. I also didn't tell the ladies that are usually in the weight loss game with me. I…
  • I am 42 and nothing works like it used to...it's crazy cuz I swear that all happened overnight. I've been around here maybe three months and credit this place with my consistency and faithfulness. There are alot of great people on here. If you are still looking for friends, feel free to add me...I'll will always try to be…
  • I personally weigh and record each day....but I'm not concerned about a 1 or 2 lb up fluctuation and only count a loss after about two days....I record it so I can see the impact of the foods I choose for the previous few days on my weight. To be honest, sometimes I weigh at night - especially if I feel bloaty, just to see…
  • Disappointed? DUDE! How would that even be possible with that transformation - Awesome!
  • Cassie, I think you said you were a nurse. I assume they teach you some basics about taking care of a human body in the classes you took. So here's a suggestion. Take that knowledge and the knowledge you've gleaned from this thread/this site and pretend that you are giving advice to your daughter who has the same issue you…

  • oh, that's a good idea. I didn't even think of that when I realized that i was not doing it right I was thinking i should change everything at once....
  • if you've checked and it's something she wants to do....buy her a good pair of running shoes, some socks and a couple of "outfits" to run in. I don't know your weather conditions or her wardrobe so the outfits might be unnecessary. Once you get the shoes and the socks, pick a time and say let's go. Seems like the best way…
  • You need to eat something. While I wouldn't consider the option of shells and cheese a great option everyday, it may be what your ailing body needs. Go ahead and eat it slowly, rest between bites, control the amount and log it. don't stress about it. Just treat it like it's food.
  • bump - there's alot of yummy stuff here that i want to try. Thank you all.
  • They don't need to know (nor do they care why you aren't eating the crap) so here's a great response. No - Thank you for asking though (period). And repeat as necessary. I don't try to defend what I do, make it seem okay to them for some reason. I figure reasoning with them is like reasoning with a drunk - just ain't gonna…
  • Non, separate them from the eggs you have. You can do this by slipping the yolk from shell half to shell half. the whites go into the bowl below and the yolk stays in the shell. We can get them here in the states near the eggs in a cartons that look a little like cardboard milk cartons too....I don' t know the brands, cuz…

  • Wow, congrats! I am so proud of you....My goal has been to put on one of my son's (12) belts and be able to buckle in the first hole. Slowly but surely I'm working my way there...thanks for the extra push.:wink:
  • Thank you everyone. I will take all of the advice. I will ice for sure - and I have avoided the treadmill the last two days becuase I'm traveling and don't have any.
