  • Sister here. Feel free to add me :)
  • That's around the day I will be receiving mine too :)
  • I love eggs....and I LOVE Frank's Red Hot Sauce... never thought to try the two together!! Wahoo!! Thanks for the idea :)
  • It has saved me SOOOO much money!! I actually am shocked at the end of the month at my bank account - I used to use debit all the time, and it all added up without me even noticing. One of my jobs has me on the road a lot, and fast food just became part of my routine - sometimes every day, or even twice a day. I would…
  • Sometimes I make myself log them. It is a good wake up call for me to see how many calories I can consume in a few minutes without even thinking about it, and a good reminder of how often I used to eat that way. Helped me realize why I got to the size and weight I once was! It really has been a learning tool for me. One…
  • I have found a huge difference!! By watching what I am eating, I am planning my meals ahead more, which means less impulse buys that sometimes ended up being thrown out or given away from not eating it in time. Also, with my crazy schedule I ate WAY too much fast-food. But I quickly learned how unhealthy the stuff I was…
  • I've been told I eat apples weirdly.... I've had friends stop and watch me eat an apple, pick up an apple, and suddenly forget how to eat an apple after watching me.... yeah..... (apparently I eat it so "unlady like" and awkward, that suddenly they become all self-conscious and can't figure out how to eat their apple…
  • I love couch to 5k!! It's a great program! It got me addicted to running! Unfortunately running fell aside due to my insane schedule, but I vow to get back to it as soon as my schedule lightens a little. It's a GREAT program and it's such a great feeling seeing the progress over time! Good job!
  • Every summer at almost every supper my mom would make her cucumber salad as one of our side staples: Sliced cumbers sour cream to coat fresh dill onions sliced and then separated into rings (optional) Think I am going to make this tomorrow :) Good memories! ***************************** In my low-carb days, I used to make…
  • I count my regular water, and my occasional crystal light (and still add the crystal light under my food - the whole 5 calories it adds haha). But other than water, crystal light, and (unfortunately lately) diet pop that is usually all I drink. When I am getting really run down, overworked, overstressed etc I will add a…
  • Fellow nurses, feel free to add me too. I am a rural ER and community health nurse. Always looking for fellow nurses for support, as we have the somewhat unique schedule of shift work/lack of breaks/high stress.... which makes our journey even harder!
  • Birthdays have never been that big of a deal for me, but for whatever reason as I was approaching 30, I stressed over it for MONTHS. I went out with a few friends "on the last day of being in my 20's" just a simple supper with a big group of friends of mixed ages. Had a wonderful time of just hanging out and having a few…
  • I WANT to take vitamins, and TRY to take my vitamins but am so horrible at remembering so it's been hit and miss for years.... until I visited the USA a couple months back and discovered the wonderful invention of gummy vitamins for adults :) Now I NEVER forget to take them (I sound like an ad for them haha) And then once…
  • My usual breakfast is 1/2 c cottage cheese and 1/2 c yogurt (greek vanilla is my favourite). Sometimes I eat it just like that, other times I add any of the following or in combo: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, nectarines, bananas. Sometimes I've added ground flax seed too to add fibre and give it a bit of a nutty…
  • Congratulations :) You look wonderful! What an accomplishment! You are definitely an inspiration and prove we can do it :)
