Every morning. After pee. Naked. Dare not drink a drop of water before hand. Just me? LOL :smiley: No, seriously. I do every morning after I go to the bathroom just for my reference. I log it about once a week.

We spent SO much money on fertility treatments over 10 years. One year of eating healthy and Metformin and BAM!

Thanks! It's been a wild ride. :)

Done! :)

That does seem a bit low. Is there any way you can ask them what kind of dressing they use in the chicken salad? Like Ready2Rock206 said, if you are feeling a little weary about it, I would log it as 1.5.

Just to get this right...you are eating under 1000 calories a day and working out? Honestly, you need to eat more. You are going to get really sick, really fast if you continue on that path. Fuel your body for those workouts and you will see amazing things happen.

You can also ask for ANY taco/chalupa/gordita to be made with chicken instead of beef. :) I usually order the hard shell fresco taco with chicken instead of beef. ;)

I was discussing this with my physical therapist once. I told him I went swimming for a couple of hours and burned a bunch of calories. He asked if I was casually swimming (like with family or kids) or was I actually SWIMMING the whole time? Two totally different things. IF you are actually swimming, yes it will burn a ton…

I was going strong...lost 50 pounds and BAM October came. Then I got busy with preparing for the holidays and everything else and gained 7 pounds and 2 inches back! I am back at it too...feel free to add me. :)

I had one WHILE doing my workout this morning. Yep, that's how I roll. I give up a lot of things, control a lot of cravings...but DDP and Diet A&W are my kryptonite. Is it the best thing in the world? Nope. Is it the worst? Nope.

Keep it up girl! You are doing awesome. :)

Not only is every day a new day, but every moment is a new moment! I ate half of a bag of Caramel Apple Kettle Corn from the fair last night while laying in bed. -_- I worked harder this morning. You will be fine! :)

My husband gave me the last name "Norris". I don't care what ever happens between us (hopefully not divorce, ever!), I will never abandon this last name.

For me, it is not logged very often.If I am rearranging furniture, cleaning the bottom of the pool, scrubbing walls, etc. If it make me break a sweat for a significant amount of time, I will log it. However, I only log for HALF of the time...I don't want to cheat myself in the end. I could log it every day if I wanted to,…

I have heard about the spearmint. Personally, I think it does something. I started buying spearmint tea and adding a bit of cocoa powder to it (YUM!) and I noticed a slight change in the hair but didn't help much with the periods (weight loss kicked those back into gear...every damn month...like clockwork :grumble: ) I…

I hate when that happens. Maybe some Shakeology will fix it!

I asked my doctor and dietitian about it (because a friend of mine is selling it) and they said "NO." The proper nutrition I could get from eating clean and proper will far outweigh the benefits of the shake. Doctor basically said I will be spending money to be hungry all of the time. I like food. I am not going to drink 2…

So...I kinda want to poke it. It seems squishy. Side note...I looked up how much sodium is in that thing...150 for 2 ounces. Edit: Fixed to correct sodium.

I would definitely talk to your doctor. It could be a sodium issue. My hands swell pretty bad after exercise or if I get too hot. My doctor prescribed Lasix (water pill). I have to pee about 80 million times a day, but it is worth not having to deal with the swelling. You might want to try some foods that are natural…

As far as food...nothing. I still eat things, but I don't eat ALL of the things. I can have an Archway Rocky Road cookie...if I have the calories left. If I don't, then I eat it anyway and hope on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. My biggest sacrifice is not playing video games all day and night anymore.

mycrazy8s - 27? And I would say smile, but I LOVE YOUR HAIR!

Rain? What is that? Oh...that stuff that falls from the sky and hydrates the earth.Yeah, we haven't seen that in a long time. It will soon be a legend to tell our grandchildren.

I had to come home and get in my pool at 10:30 at night and do an hour of water aerobics. LOL. However, I was pleasantly surprised with myself yesterday. I went to my mom's with full intentions of not giving a crap and pigging out on some awesome cheeseburgers, pasta salads, foods in mass quantities, etc. I made it through…

Oh yeah. I saw this profile pic of this sexy beast, and I was like "That is HOT!" I tried to friend them...but MFP wont let you friend yourself. Damn. :smokin: In all seriousness....nope. I love the support and friendship, but that is as far as it goes. :drinker:

It also should be noted that the OP and I do live in a small rural town of 3000, with MAYBE 40 black residents. Very nice town that has actually never had a problem with racism or anything, but not a lot of people move in or out of this town. It is weird. Anywho... I don't think there is really any way to "teach" your…

Writing this letter out for your personal healing is very therapeutic. I would not send it to her though. With conflict resolution there are many things to consider. If your mom has been saying things that you deem judgmental and hurtful, she may not be seeing those things as that. She may be seeing it as caring and…

It is harder for me on the weekends because I am finally getting time with Adam. He is gone 12 hours a day during the week, so on weekends I like to just relax with him and not worry about every calorie that goes in or out. I know as long as I do not go overboard, I am doing OK. I try to "get ready" for the weekend by…

I have days where I am PUMPED and ready to go. Like yesterday. I burned 1700 calories yesterday. :drinker: Last week, I don't think I burned 1700 in the entire week. :grumble: I wish I had motivation ALL of the time. I found a quote this morning that helped me. "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done,…

I took a two week break from walking/jogging due to being lazy as hell. I picked it back up yesterday like I never stopped. If I had gone any longer, I was afraid I was not going to get back to it. I think taking a break can't hurt, as long as it is a break. I would also talk to your doctor. :)

After 11 years, yes. Every time we hang up, end a text message, go to bed or part ways. It isn't because "you never know what will happen", it is because we just do. He also will not sleep at night until I give him a kiss. :blushing: It is really annoying if I am upset and pouting and he makes me kiss him and will pick on…
