^^^^^^ Agreed! ^^^^^^^^^^ I don't have to worry about my cholesterol, but if you do, just have one whole egg and 2-3 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs once or twice a week. Here is an interesting site on some egg nutritional info and facts: http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html My OB/GYN always wanted to…

Bingo!:smile: Assisted dips and chin ups did wonders for my arms and upper body as well!

Married for 15 years, together for 18 years. I met him when I was 2 and he was 5!:happy: Don't think we'll ever get rid of each other (and I wouldn't have it any other way!):tongue:

Oh yeah ~ lots of people lose weight on the HCG diet ~ many of my friends.....and they regain it, with interest (more weight, more fat).:frown: I only know one woman who has kept it off for almost two years, but she follows the Atkins diet now to stay at that weight. The instant she eats anything with carbs, she puffs…

Haha Jane Fonda for sure, circa 1982 :laugh: I graduated to Kathy Smith later down the road, but always found I did better at the gym..

I'm another one who can't control herself with chocolate ~ maybe some sugar free hot chocolate works once in a while, but most times, I'll just eat the entire thing of light chocolate or whatever it is...:sad: I stay AWAY from mini bars ~ I can inhale 10 at a time!:blushing: I have better luck with red licorice or taffy ~…

At 5'8", I would be NETTING at least 1300-1400 calories a day ~ that doesn't include what you eat back in exercise calories (use a HR monitor to make sure you are getting an accurate reading, don't go by MFP estimates or machines). Also, make sure you get a rest day in there for all the exercise you are doing! At almost…

Going on 42.......no complaints other than I'm going to have fun with arthritis ~ things could certainly be worse!!!:tongue: Yoga is going to be my new best friend!

Is she lifting weights with you at all? That seems to do the trick for most women I know!:flowerforyou: Nothing like hitting the iron with your mate!:happy:

One or two pieces of light string cheese and a piece of fruit! Or a (small) handful of nuts and a piece of fruit (apple or those clementine cuties for me) if you are eating while driving. If you can take a minute to eat something before you get in your car, I'd say get some Greek yogurt like Oikos or Fage ~ very few things…

I almost always end up making an omelette out of them as well ~ I often use Costco's egg substitute (it's whites with some charming yellow color), or whip up 4 egg whites. Add a bunch of chopped veggies (all color bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onions) and some fat free or 2% shredded cheese. Sometimes I'll…

Pretty close to the both of you!! I'll take a couple of twins!:flowerforyou: Age: 41 height: 5'2.5" SW: 140 CW: 140 (yes, I've been bouncing up and down with the same five pounds the whole last year and a half:grumble: ) GW: 120-125

Ditto!!!:noway: I don't want to "date" him, that's for sure.... I just need 15 minutes of his time!:tongue: Normally I like blonde / Nordic men, but I could be converted to the dark side for those eyes (did I say eyes???):love: ... Otherwise, I'd love to take Daniel Craig or Chris Pine out for a test drive:smile:

It's a balmy -8 degrees in Anchorage, Alaska compared to a "brisk" -50 at North Pole this fine New Year's morning :happy: Happy 2012!

6 lbs :noway: ..... almost no exercise for a month, tons of dairy and chocolate (I'm allergic) = sweats for a couple of weeks while I detox!!!:sad: This has been one of my worst holidays ~ I just totally ate like a cow. Trying not to get depressed about my lack of will power! Since I'm short, I think the 6 lbs looks more…

Title 9 ~ they will hook you up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wink: I used them for a long time, and at one point I was a 36DDD ~ they had one that kept things in place! I lost 13 inches in my chest and had a reduction at one point, so now a regular old Champion from Sports Authority does the trick, but man, I can (still) feel…

Yep!!! I'd rather rock it in a bikini than in a pair of jeans any day......skinny fat or un-toned on the beach isn't all that appealing....

You are a knock out! Wow! Gorgeous tummy!!!!:smile: Good job!:flowerforyou:

WOW!!!!!! You look amazing! Congrats on all that hard work! :flowerforyou:

Well guess my max heart rate is suppose to be 179, but I clocked in at 204 on my stress test. I like to work between 170-182 when I'm getting my cardio on, otherwise I don't feel like I'm doing much. My heart rate first thing in the morning averages 40, and my average heart rate during the day runs 55-68. After a very…

You need to see a doctor ~ there may be something going on. If you've gained more than 7 lbs, I'd get in there quickly. Rapid weight gain and irregular bleeding can be symptoms of serious medical conditions. Are you noticing an increase in size anywhere in particular? Abdomen? I'm guessing you may need some blood work…

A LONG time ago, when I was working as a teen (I was 15 at the time), I got the lucky job of cleaning out the soda machines a few times......my best friend and I figured that if the stuff in soda could goop up and do that much damage to a machine, imagine what the hell it could do to your insides....:noway: We both made a…

I actually do better with pure sugar than artificial sweeteners ~ I did an experiment ~ we go to Maui every year in March for 3 weeks, and religiously, I always lost 5-8lbs. Couldn't figure out what the difference was (I'm eating the same amount plus drinking a lot more beer and Mai Tais) until my husband mentioned I used…

+1 :smile: I'd get the same haircut again, but maybe shorten it 4 or 5 inches ~ like a long, layered bob with some bangs. You have a pretty face!!

WOW!:noway: WELL done! All that work um, certainly shows, for lack of better words!:happy: Your back is AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!!

Definitely up your calories ~ 1500 or 1600 if you need it! If I'm not exercising, I aim for 1500, but will be happy if I stay under 1800 lol. If you are breast feeding, add another 500 cals to that number! Glancing at your diary, I'd also suggest upping your protein and dairy ~ keep carbs, for sure, but try to get in the…

Don't give up ~ it's a lot like trying to quit smoking ~ sometimes it takes a while!! The fact that you are addressing it and discussing it is part of the battle...... I hear some of me in your post ~ I have a real "all or nothing" mentality ~ I must be perfect, or I completely fall off the wagon and binge (I cringe just…

I tweaked mine so bad about 3 years ago, it took almost 4 months before it healed up ~ I went from 4 miles to 8 miles on an incline over the course of a week, and well, my lungs were ready, but the rest of me was NOT!:noway: Foam rolling, ibuprofen, ice/heat and stretching got it back to normal. I increase mileage very…

Been at home for 13years ~ a 12 year old and an 8 year old ~ wouldn't trade it for the world!:smile:

Same boat girl! I eat dinner around 6-7pm, but I go to bed pretty late (midnight +), and I usually get hungry around 10 pm. Seems if I eat anything, it just triggers a huge response to eat ~ I want a whole nother dinner, not just an apple!:mad: Last night I made some hot herbal tea, removed myself from the computer/kitchen…
