yes buy a food scale use measuring cups tbsp and tsps.. And the posted above guesstimate portions are pretty much exactly what is used in our wic education classses. I have an actual plate that is marked with portion sizes. LOL it is a small plate so it cannot be filled to much that pretty much reflects correctly. I…

I run in shorts tank top and sports bra. have an IPOD on my arm. I am watchful of the things around me. I stick to the neighborhoods because I will run into someones house if I have to. Once I was running an i kept seeing a blazer drive past me turn around and drive past. (I live in Rural area) I got scared, it was like…

Well I am glad someone else asked what it stood for, I have tried so many times to figure it out. LOL I would have never guess that one!

Working today... Clinic no one is coming in... Leaving at noon sick kido. :( Got to get him well we leave for DisneyWorld Next week!

Huh you are in a grocery store what else would you buy but food? Most of us dont run there daily, well at least I dont. I buy for my family and if I am buying preapred food I am buying for more than likely lunch the next day as well. The only thing a cashier has ever said to me. With me cart over flowing... "Will this be…

Add me if you like, I am a goal setter, so since this isnt a goal I have ever met I am still working on it. I hope to maintain and not give up once I am done.

its about your approach, I think. It wouldnt bother me unless you came across as a know it all.

HT 5'1 Wt 164 SW 214 YEP THATS 50! GW 125 Size pants 12 Shirt M or L Shoes I have shrunk to a 7. OH I AM A PEAR! Jeans never fit right. :grumble:

Dr told me to go on the HCG diet. Eat 500 cal... I tried to tell him i was running 3 miles daily and that would not sustain me. We had a huge argument me in favor of lifestyle change and personal accountability. HIm on pushing his products. Needless to say I found myself a new Dr. he was my GYN! LOL!

I have lost fifty pounds. Just by changing my diet and exercising now this dreaded plateau that I have been on forever that is getting frustrating. Here is what I am learning, at least I think I am learning. I am trying anyways. I typically eat around a 1200 cal a day diet. Typically when I exercise daily I am only netting…

Add me if you like I am down 50 with 40 more to go. Keep it honest, track everything you do or dont do. You can never see what your really doing if u cant look back and see. I can say I am surprised that I eat our as often as I have been. Because if someone asks me I tell them no. But I do, like 4-5 times over the last 2…

clothes no shoes, empty pockets on the floor. I weigh at work in the clinic. Cant do it naked there. LOL

I had an all out yell out with my dr, he has changed his practice to weight management from ob gyn. I am 5'1 weighed 214. I had lost 36 pounds. I was stuck and he wanted me to use his all natural products not covered by ins. and go on a 500 cal diet with HCG. I was like WHAT! I could not maintain on that I run 3 miles…

have lots of junk food junkies here, with lots of snacks. I do well for the most part and can limit what i eat. Someone all the time is bringing or eating something. I think I do well. Of course I hear how skinny your getting blah blah. I hate to hear it all the time. It makes me feel like I have to mind my p's and q's. Of…

Well I am not a coach nor have I done it, but I did post the same question a few weeks ago and got tons of replys. I found a friend whose friend is a coach and does it. I got to see real results from her pics and not going from chubby to a six pack. You see definition, toning, she has lost inches and about 20 pounds at 7…

I thought and thought about it, talked and discussed with different people. Found someone who uses it, seen real results. I bought it last week waiting on arrival. Not going to start it until about the 2nd week in June because I am going on vacation next week to Disney World. So we will see! Bought it from beach body. A…

men loose faster and easier than women. its those hormones and our ability to store that fat so we can breast feed our babies. I am at it alone, my husband is itty bitty small peteite frame. Thank goodness kids took after him. So, they have all the junk food and crap they can eat all day. If I just watch them eat it I gain…

Rn in public health. I work M-F 8-5 and sometimed teach CMA classes from 530-930, when I get off. I usually get up at 6 and workout and workout in the eveings when I get home. I TRY to total 90 min daily.

I love it, especially a tbps on a warm whole wheat waffle with 5 chocolate chips. But, new allergy. Allergic to peanuts, I knew I was allergic to tree nuts, but now that too. :( So nuts of any kind here.

I live in BFE so none nowhere, well somone just put in a small one with 3 tread mils and jump ropes and some weights. I have that at home plus the pool and the garden bike, videos, and a nice paved street. So, I just hang out in my living room, walk in the neighborhoods work out side. I would love to have a gym worth,…

Im here in Oklahoma with you I am maybe on day 15ish... I have to date lost 50lbs. Its a slow go but going, add me if you like. :flowerforyou:

50 pounds down here. Stuck for almost a year. I have made drastic changes in diet and exercise. do strength training, cardio, walk, run bike as soon as the water warms swim. The biggest change was stop working three jobs. I keep things at constant change. I am seeing inches go and toning with all the strength training.…

I live rural and us cellular works much better than the others.... Plus I am cheap no data plans.

Well as a RN i can say, do as much as you can do, and one step at a time. Dont expect to jump right in running. Build up to it, talk to your dr. Congrats on quitting smoking! A hard task to overcome! Dont set limits on youself right now. You wont know until you build up to it. Each person is different, you cannot rely on…

Pink, lady gaga, adele, katy perry, to name a few.

find something fun for you. Bike ride, walking, running, swimming, flying a kite?? Climbing a tree to get the kite?? As long as your active its good. exercise doesnt have to be blah and demanding. Make it for you.

my dr told me that if they make me sick dont take them. Not everyone needs them. Make me sick to my stomach as well. Plus if it has Niacin in it, I get a Niacin flush. LOL not to comfortable!

I recently started drinking soy milk very vanilla. I dont like milk. Allergic to nuts. but I like it with my cereal in the AM. Little sweeter, but I need the protien because I dont eat much meat, I dont eat eggs, and I am allergic to nuts. Tastes like a milk shake. LOL

ok seems like I am on the band wagon with everyone else. TONS of processed foods. No water, not enough exercise to make a difference. Increase water, decrease processed, and fast foods. Eat lots of fruits and veggies.

I had to learn t put me first. My needs. I have junk food in the house because no one else has the weight issue that I have. BUT I do not keep junk food that I like. For instance I recently bought cookie dough for a fund raiser for my son. I couldnt stay out of it. I LOVE COOKIE DOUGH. So, I took that 20.00 box of pre cut…
