So far the Pho has been my absolute favorite thing i've made since starting this lower cal journey.[/quote] Could you please give your recipe for the pho? I grew up on traditional beef pho, which is very high in calories, and am having a hard time toning the calories down when I make it. Thank you!

Before my first child, I was at 97 pounds (I'm 4'11). After my second child, I went to 198. Now I'm at 145 and trying to lose another 40 pounds.....it's been nine years, lol.

They go by percentage, so like 5% loss is $15, 10% loss is $30, etc. http://weighandwin.com/WhatIsWAW.aspx

Ok, so I just got the Garmin Vivofit. One of my requirements was that the tracker have a timer since I time myself when running. I was promised by BestBuy that the Vivofit has a timer but looking through the manual, the website, and the tracker itself I cannot find the timer. Does anyone know if the Vivofit has a timer or…

Yum...these all sound good. Every year we have a traditional American Thanksgiving with ham and turkey but for Christmas we have some good old Asian food. This year, it will be; Beef Pho Chicken Namya...yumm spicy curry noodles. Dim Sum of ribs, different kinds of dumplings, rice crepes, etc. Pepper Lobster Garlic Crab…

I wouldn't bother with any diet pills. Just focus on eating healthier. Also....losing weight is a lonely road. Don't use others as a crutch because once they all fall off the wagon, you're alone again. And for me, it's better to only have one cheat meal a week, instead of one cheat day. The whole day is harder to come back…

Hello there made4more71!! First off, don't feel discourage, it's a wonderful thing you are doing for yourself and your children. Congratulations!! You're post really made me feel for you. I was the same. I am 4'11" (short, I know) and before I had my two children, I was at 98 pounds. Then after my last child in 2005, I…

So on my list currently: Garmin Vivofit Misfit Shine Up...not sure if I want old gen or new gen...

@Shadow2soul: Thank you soooo much for taking all that time to post your pics and examples. I really appreciate it!! Base on your pics, it does seem like fitbit doesn't synch all the time and/or has problems synchronizing with mfp. That would just irritate me. Fitbit out! I will keep Garmin on my list. I did hear that…

@shadow2soul: I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've never had anything like this so I'm completely new to this technology. If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to post pics? I'm a little confused on what all these technologies all entails. So it measures when you're resting, being active, calorie intake, etc?…

Goals for 2015: 1. Get back to my "single/before babies" weight. 2. Finally look good in skinny jeans/short skirts/dresses/etc. 3. Be able to finally run in a marathon. 4. Climb up stairs without almost dying. 5. Gain my confidence back. 6. Go dancing!

Wow, you ladies are awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

When my siblings and I were all under 8 yrs of age, our mother told us that soda came out of the faucet but it only turns to soda if we were good children. When we did good, she told us to close our eyes and she'll get soda from the kitchen faucet for us. We'd all half close our eyes but she'd go to the sink and turn the…

Wow, that is daring. I'd be soo scare! But you know what? At the end of your life, you'll be able to look back and realize you did what you wanted to do and didn't let fear keep you away. You won't regret that because it's one accomplishment you'll be proud you did. Great job!

I like mine for walking but not for running. You'll realize soon enough that the tiny bit of sole on the bottom of these shoes don't really support your feet when you're running and your feet is slapping against the pavement. I'd say if you really want some, then walk in them, don't run in them. Although at the beginning…

Wow, you're such an inspiration to the rest of us. That was a lot of weight to shed. Congrats, you look gorgeous!

I consider having 40 pounds to lose a lot and used to be 198 and am 145 now. So far its been 6 years and the last 40 pounds is very hard so I can also use a lot of supportive friends. Would love to help you, too.
