Hi ladies, just checking in so no one thinks I fell off the face of the earth. I have been pretty busy and stressed as the wedding is in 3 days. I haven't lost anything, but the good news is that I haven't gained either. I've not been keeping up like I should, but have been drinking my water and eating fruits and veggies.…

Well that all sounds good as well. I wouldn't have thought to put steak seasoning on veggies, will deffinately have to try that, Thanks

I did it!!!! I roasted some stir fry veggies, (broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnuts, red pepper, carrots, and celery). They were really good :bigsmile: I used olive oil spray and some Italian seasoning, ummmmm good:love: :love: :love:

Thanks ladies. I have to dig my toaster oven out of the storage space, I haven't used it in a very, very long while but today is the day. The veggies I am using is what is in stir fry, I may try to use some Italian seasoning and see what happens LOL. I don't have the sea salt that was mention, but I do have spray olive…

Good morning my friends:smile: I don't have much to say this morning so this will probably be very short. It's going to be another hot one today. The humidity is already horrible:noway: I woke up this morning and walked out on the front porch to look for my little rabbit friend, and could feel the moisture hit me in the…

Laura.... hahaha! The only reason I mow the lawn is because it burns alot of calories. It usually isn't my job either. I was going to finish it today, but it is way too hot and humid out there for me I haven't logged in my food yet because I am totally scared of what the calorie count is going to be :laugh: Yes, I was a…

Good morning ladies:smile: It sure is going to be a hot one today. It's not 10am yet and it is already 82 degrees:ohwell: Today is going to a challenge for me also, I am taking my grand daughter, the oldest one, to Mikey D's for lunch, her choice and it is going to be hard for me to pick something healthy because I know…

To begin with, today was a much better day as far as eating and exercising :drinker: I have to admit though, it was pretty ify:blushing: I woke up at 5 this morning with soon 2 b and got on…

Good morning ladies, I have just read all the posts from yesterday and this morning and my mind is jumping back and forth from different ones, sooooo, what I am going to do is just try to remember some of what I read and reply to that. My memory is horrible :grumble: First of all, Cindy, I am sorry for your loss, but like…

Chiclet.... how sad this must be for you. I couldn't even imagine going through what you are and being so far away. I agree with everyone else... get intouch with Barb, she is a little book of knowledge so to speak. I can't imagine someone being so coldhearted as your brother is being with your mom, so sad. It is…

Barbiecat1.... Oh my, I am glad nothing was broken and no internal injuries!!! How irresponsible of that person to put that stuff in the bike path! It all sounds so painful. Glad you'll be okay though. I can't even tell you how many times my stomach flipped reading your post. It all sounds horrible. Like I said, I'm glad…

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone is well and fine. To those that are feeling under the weather, I hope you get well soon. I just read two pages of posts and I am not going to try to even pretend I can remember who said what:noway: Barb.... I have that same book and to be quite honest, I thought it was abunch of b.s.…

Ditto... and the first time I actually did them, I thought I pulled a muscle in the back of my upper leg. I didn't realize just how tense and out of shape I was :noway: :noway: It was when I started to do the pelvic lifts so I didn't raise as high as was just fine.

hannatrip.... I think if you eat healthy and drink plenty of water to flush yourself out, you should be fine.

Good afternoon ladies:smile: I am waiting on my lunch to finish steaming. I am having 2 cups of stir fry vegtables with garlic powder cooked on them, a cup of silk light chocolate milk, and a light nonfat blackberry yogurt. The veggies are smelling really good too :laugh: I forgot what I started back with as far as weight,…

I keep hearing that walking briskly is the best. Ofcorse along with that, you have to eat alot of veggies, green ones is best. Eat lots of fresh fruit and without a doubt, drink plenty of water. Water is a must!!!

I have the polar F4 also and I love it! Works great for me.

So many new people all I am going to say is that you have came to the right place :) The ladies here are very welcoming and very informative and supportive :flowerforyou: They sure have helped me out more than once and have stuck with me when I slipped up and didn't log in for a month.

That made me feel pretty motivated, thank you:flowerforyou: I do have some breathing issues, but I still do some exercises. Treadmill and alittle zumba.

Thank you, it seems to me that I have heard something like that before, but I had forgotten all about it.

Thank you and I just googled hatha yoga and it looks easy enough. I'll give it try tomorrow. Thanks again.

Good evening ladies, how's everything going?
