I just started too, level one, day one. I'd like to see pictures too

I don't dread social occasions, I can smile at parties, I can speak to strangers

Mine was when I saw a picture of my sister who had always been the "heavy" one in our family, who always proclaims to be fat and happy........and then realized I was looking at me - I didn't even recognize myself!!!!! Wow, what a wake up call.

You can do it!! For too long I bought into the "you will gain weight and feel lousy" as you get older. NOT TRUE!!! Be nice to yourself and the sky's the limit :-)

new clothes, new exercise items, pedicures

has anyone tried Sensa? I keep seeing that advertised but don't know much about it.

I do wildlife rehab and specialize in orphan opossum

nothing much better in the world than smaller jeans! congrats!!

just get on with it

MorningStar Farms sesame "chicken" (tofu)

Port Huron here. What is it about the cold weather that makes us want comfort food?!

Port Huron here, no snow yet

do you have access to a microwave, etc at work?

yes, you can really see the difference - good job!

oh YES!!!!!!!! Fantastic, I am thrilled for you - keep up the good job, you are worth it :)

I made this last night and am having it for lunch today - it is WONDERFUL!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I used veggie crumbles instead of the ground turkey

I'll be working until 4, then off to the store to buy grain for the horses. After getting all the critters set for the night I will be on my exercise bike watching "Biggest Loser" - ah yes, life is good :)

what is their natural habitat and what do they eat?

soon to be 53 here and never felt better !

well, I must admit I just "googled" Axolotls. I had no idea what they were! Very cute little guys. :)

WOW! you look stunning -congratulations on your hard work and success!

Great food for thought, thanks!

oh yeah, I'd like to do this with you. I could LIVE on sugar....................................

I use the Kettleworx and really like them. You can purchase separate DVD's for different muscle areas and rotate them. They are challenging but you can work at your own pace. I only use the 5 pound weight and it's a great work out. I think you should try them!

I decided that I would allow myself some treats but they have to be worth the calories, for instance if it is chocolate it will have to be rich, wonderful and rare - not some everyday chocolate I can buy at the grocery store, or if it's cookies, they will have to be my favorite types.. This will be in place of me eating…

heathersmilez, we have grocery lists for when we shop in Canada, lol. for instance, we always buy dill pickle flavored rice cakes that we cannot buy in the US. :smile:

Try mixing it with a container of low fat cottage cheese and a little water, put in blender and mix until smooth. Thin as necessary with water (or skim milk, etc) for desired consistancy. Good on salad.

NSV - I actually look forward to my exercise time and feel so good for doing it. Before, I could never seem to find the time to do it and if did I was counting the seconds until it was over.

thank you for that, it is just what I needed today!!

so happy for you! enjoy those jeans!
