  • Zuchon aka Shichon- Mix between Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise. She is the best dog I have ever had!
  • Decrease the calorie allowance of your regular meals and allow yourself several snacks daily. This is actually much better for your metabolism and will keep you happy too. Spend a little time figuring out what kind of healthy snacks you like (almonds, berries, yogurt, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, etc) Stock up, then…
  • Poached is good. This is my fav way to prepare for topping toast :smile:

Cut one head cabbage in quarters place each quarter on a piece of…
  • A few of the spin bikes in my class have mileage trackers... of course it all depends on effort/intensity but I think people typically go anywhere from 12-18 miles. Last class my bike did not have one but the instructor who went pretty easy went 12. I am guessing I did about 15. Oh, and our class was just under an hour.
  • Any reputable local bike shop will allow you to test ride. I suggest narrowing your search and going with what feels best to you. Most bikes in the brands and price range you are speaking of are really great so for me it comes down to personal fit.
  • Just one? But I have so many :bigsmile: -Super cut calves, like a bicyclists with pretty, thin, ankles (I hate my thick shapeless lower legs) -Single digit size clothes -Become a runner, do races (tough mudder, warrior dash, color run and more!) -Tummy tuck and breast lift -Perfect vitals and labs at physical (I have…
  • It is old school, but, The Firm 5-day abs is amazing. It has a different workout for each day that you do, five days in a row with a pyramid type workout structure. Whenever I use it consistently I notice a really big improvement. You can find it on youtube and netflix. The length of each days video varies from 5-9…
  • Smoker Bad Teeth (as in not cared for) Intolerance (racism, judgmental, closed minded)
  • Ryvita Light Rye crisps topped with raw veggies or leftover grilled fish =) Spread on a small whole wheat tortilla topped with lunch meat and fresh spinach, then rolled and sliced into rounds =)
  • My day of Firsts, and one Last... This picture was taken the first day that I started using MFP. I went on a beautiful 2.8 mile hike on Upper Table Rock with a 720' elevation gain for a picnic lunch. I had hiked the Lower a few years back, but this was my first time on Upper. I went with my youngest son and some great…
  • I do eat them, but with exceptions. I do not eat past full or force it. I do not increase the volume of food eaten during breakfast/lunch/dinner meals as I don't want to be overfull or stretch my stomach. The extra calories (for me) are not an excuse to eat food with poor nutritional value- so I try to make sure they are…
  • I just put it in on here and it tells me that for 60 minutes (I probably played 90, but shaved some for down time) I burned 822 calories!! That just seems extremely high to me.
  • This is simply what works for me when I have found myself in a similar situation... 1. Stop and take a bit of time to reflect- why am I struggling? Am I stressed, worried or tired? Are my healthy foods low on stock making it "easier" to choose the not so good ones? Am I in a food rut and bored with eating the same meals?…
  • My 14 year old son chose the leftover wild and long grain rice that I made the other night from the fridge and asked if he could eat it with his veggie and salmon fritatta he cooked himself for lunch. He then said that he really loves the new rice... This coming from a child that LOVES and has been raised on white sticky…
  • I guess I am kind of in the opposite situation... my ticker only shows one pound lost, when actually since my highest I have lost 40.
  • Avocado is super delicious diced and mixed up with: Whole black beans Lime juice Chopped fresh cilantro A scoop of your favorite salsa Salt and a bit of minced garlic. Or, skip the salt/fresh garlic and use garlic salt instead. Above is what I would consider the essentials... Depending on how you feel about starches/carbs,…
  • Currently a DDD. Would love a full C to small D. I do, however, dread the idea that when I get to goal the girls might just be deflated and unshapely, sagging like sad balloons :embarassed: If that is what happens you can bet that I will want to get them "fixed"...
  • Chewable are the only kind I can use, and Flintstones are my faves. Women's Viactiv Chocolate Chews are pretty good too. Everything else that I have tried that is not chewable just comes back up :sick: On another note, recently the FDA tightened restrictions on children's vitamins with iron, because of the high number of…
  • Well, if you ever decide to do it again, let me know, I'd go with ya! It is best in mid spring, when all the wildflowers are blooming and Mt. Mcloughlin still has lots of snow!
  • I did not take the time to read all the replies, so if I repeat an earlier sentiment please forgive me. I like you have ALWAYS wanted to be a jogger. I, at the weight of 266 signed up for a 5K and started the couch to 5K program. It was too much. I like you felt the drive to go go go and pushed my body too hard. I ended up…
  • I hike in Cathedral Hills a few times a week. It is a very large area of BLM that has many really wonderful trails. A few years back they came in and improved all the trails, you can also mountain bike here too. Last night was especially fun... I got caught under a booming thunder cloud that let loose with rain. It smelled…
  • Grants Pass here :) Nice to see ya. There are also two groups for us here in Oregon also. :happy:
