:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :laugh: :laugh: :sad: :sad: Just read your profile! I envy your cleverness. Best thing I've read in a while! Now, why can't you get Aleve where you are? What is the name of this God-forsaken place?! NO ALEVE!:noway: :angry: :mad:

Well, it doesn't hurt just when twisting this way or that way. It does look a tad swollen and doesn't make any noises, thank God! I'd TOTALLY freak. It hurts when I bend my knee, walk, etc. The pain is centralizede to the left of the knee right where your calf starts. It feels like its just one "pocket" of pain. Its so…

:flowerforyou: :wink: Hey, cheer up! We're human! I had that kinda day Monday. Guess what I did Tuesday? I got up and started over. Its the only thing we can do. We CAN'T GIVE UP! Each day we wake up is God's gift at another chance to try and get it right. If we don't at least try, we fail automatically. Success means you…

:angry: Hey! Come on now...This is not THAT serious. It really was just for fun! :ohwell: I hope I didn't stress you out. I'd hate to be a downer for you. :sad: Remember your motto, "I AM LEAN, STRONG, & SEXY!" And you are! You have to believe in yourself. Girl, I'm not all that either so far this week. I've lost a couple…

Love the way you break it down. So clever! :drinker:

Thanks you so much Stacey! Prayers are what's keeping us going. God bless you and your's. :heart: Dana! Congratulations! See! See! I told you to focus on God and great things will follow! I'm genuinely happy for you. Please let me know as soon as you find out about the hearing. I have prayed for God's will in your life. Be…

Welcome, Eva. I love it here! I can't tell you how nice it is here. You'll find support for ANY obstacle you come across! Check in often.

I just noticed! Your puppy is my Diamond's twin! They look exactly alike! Is she as much of a diva as my Diamond is?

Okay, girl! You can feel proud of yourself! Pat yourself on the back - YOU DESERVE IT! Not only are you kicking a**, you've inspired me to get the program! I just purchased it. I hope I get results like you. I'm not brave enough to post my pics, though. :blushing: Kuddos to you on that, too!:flowerforyou: :drinker:

I like Uncle Ben's 100% Natural Brown Rice. When I cook it, I add onion flakes, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper...anything really you like. Then I can snack on 1/4 c if I want something substantial and savory. I also LOVE edamame saute`d with carrots and red onions! LOVE THAT!

I agree. Although you will lose something during the cooking process, you still seem to have "more meat" if you weigh prior to cooking. As stated, added weight to the food throws the nutrition facts off. Also, when you log the food in, I find it more accurate to log it in as raw.

I've actually done this recipe with Diet Dr. Pepper and made cupcakes. They're only 1 point a cupcake with weight watchers and they're delish! I didn't frost them, though. Didn't need it.

I understand how you feel first hand. That being said, you really need to understand how serious it is to take this medication if your doctor has taken you off of it. Yes, it is a diuretic however, it affects your BP, which is very important. If you continue to take the medication just because of the extra water weight,…

The power of prayer is God's true testimony of His love for us. My son was involved in an auto accident this past Easter day. He broke his neck. The doctors can't understand how he isn't in a wheelchair or even how he is alive, for that matter. He literally is going to walk away from the accident. God is great. His power…

Go here. Everything I've ever needed to know about calories burned I have been able to find on this site. Then, I go to MFP and log in the activity accordingly. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp

I am taking the very same medication, too. Yes, it IS a diuretic. I was taking two pills a day and was decreased to one now that I have lost so much weight. They're all right. It is discouraging, at first, to see the extra weight on the scale. But, trust me, your body will regulate itself and you will feel better. Just…

Wow! So much has gone on without me! :noway: I've been wrapped up with my son. He is doing better. We had our first real-life outing yesterday. We needed to see if he could handle everyday activities like getting groceries, running errands, etc. He did extremely well but it really worked him hard. He was in pain last night…

Great! Thanks! I'm also thinking about getting Slim in 6. I have a treadmill that I run on, the Malibu Pilates Chair I do faithfully, the EZ Gym...You think I'm going overboard? :blushing:

Wow! I'm sold! What is the 6 day express diet like?

I'm here! :sick: In bed. Not feeling well today...TOM, I think. Just blah. I DID want to share with y'all that I finally got my EZ Gym in Friday. I love it. I can't wait till I can incorporate a real "routine" for my abs...any suggestions? The DVD that came with it really isn't that great. As for the Wii Fit, don't have…

I LOVE IT!!!!!

No. Not at all. I'm glad you posted what you posted. Knowledge, no matter the sourse, is always a good thing. I should have specified, the comment was for Jackyl. We were "sparring" earlier. Forgive me if I offended you. That is never my intention. Please, share. That is why we all come to these forums, to learn. Have a…

Okay. Good luck. :huh: What did I get myself into!:noway: :flowerforyou:

I know what you mean! Have you checked the stats on the Smart Ones Desserts?!!!!! OMG! On one of the boxes, just one dessert is over 300 cals! Now I know who is watching our weight! They are! They're watching us get bigger eating what we THINK is healthy! You really DO have to look out for yourself when it comes to…

Someone once told me that we all seem to live life too fast. When we get caught up in everyday life, it can be easy to lose your "mojo", as you say. I have found that, and after 41 years on earth, I've tried it all, you have to decide that you're worth taking the time. No one will stop you during your hectic, crazy busy…

:flowerforyou: It's okay. We ALL have those days. Just pick yourself up and start again tomorrow. There is no such thing as failure when you keep trying to succeed. Tomorrow get up and shake it off. Its a new day, its a new dawn, its a new way. Just keep going. God bless.

:explode: I thought this was over? :grumble:

You're on. Thanks...I was getting lazy with my workouts...:grumble: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I usually go to the gym but haven't been able to go since my son's accident. I had a gym buddy who used to get motivated the same way so we would "feed" off each other's competitive spirit. I miss the gym so much. :cry: :cry: :cry:…

I feel ya, girl. Same ride I was on for years. It is different now. You're lucky in that you've reached this epiphany at an early age. It didn't hit me until I turned 40 last year and ended up in the hospital with what drs. thought were heart problems. Talk about a wake up call. So, I quit smoking, eating junky, and, most…

:flowerforyou: :drinker: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BREE! Have fun! Don't worry about any of this...it'll still be here Monday! Have a great birthday!
