  • That is GREAT! Kudos to you and your family! My husband wasn't on board when I started in the beginning of the year. As I slowly cleared the unhealthy things from the house and he FINALLY realized he was lactose intolerant, he started to lose weight just by changing his eating habits. Now he's almost 30 lbs down and…

  • We met 12/31/96 and he proposed 5/12/97 and we were married 5/23/98. I was 20 and he was 29. We've been married for 14 years and every year just keeps getting better. Do what is in you heart, not what others are doing around you. Each relationship is different. :)

    in Down 73 lbs. in 3 months: Ops Shirtless and Shameless Comment by ashleygonzalez1 June 2012
  • Seriously? I have no idea what I'm doing losing 1 to 2 lbs a week steadily? I didn't lose 40 lbs in a month, I've lost it working hard at changing my dietary habits over SIX months and SLOWLY adding exercise to my lifestyle. 1200 calories is not a goal. I don't have a caloric goal at all. I keep the sugar low and the…

  • I have to disagree as well. I didn't have energy due to not sleeping or resting very well. Sleep is a huge part of weight loss as our bodies repair at night and the hormones that are needed for digestion (cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin) are produced at night! For me, a typical breakfast would be a protein smoothie made up…

  • Our gym could totally use a larger stretching area. Other than that, it's great! * I smile and wave as much as possible but I don't strike up conversations... I only have 45 minutes a day to squeeze in a workout so I get in and get it done!
    in What drives you CRAZY about your gym?? Comment by ashleygonzalez1 June 2012
  • Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only person and thanks for finding that in the FAQ. I usually strength train daily with bursting cardio. I like to keep a log of what I'm doing and how it affects my 'calories in - calories out' ratio. I do a minute of step ups or push ups or anything that would be considered vigorous,…
    in Cardio vs. Strength on MFP Comment by ashleygonzalez1 May 2012
  • We slowly removed processed foods from our diet, including butter. We kept EVOO for its healthy fats and I use an organic vegetable protein powder for my morning shake. I personally cut gluten (sensitive), yeast (allergic), soy, eggs (sensitive), corn (allergic), dairy (sensitive) and peanuts from my diet. The first thing…
