The BEST thing about MFP for me, was tracking of food. I could NOT beleive what i used to consume in a day before coming on here. I would eat in ONE meal, what i eat now in an entire day. Even if you start with that little baby step I think you will surpise yourself with progress, and it fueling your desire to do more (…

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? (share names if you wish) One, she's 3, her name is Isabelle 2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future? No 3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery? Horrible, 38 hrs labor, for a c-section, and emergency hysterectomy and 4 day coma 4.) When do you fit in…

I make a quinoa salad for lunches every week. I just prep the quinoa, toss in veggies, garlic, cilantro, onions, and some lemon and oil. And for Chia, I just use ground black, and put a TBSP in my morning smoothie. Dont let it sit too long tho, is makes your smoothie thicken up fairly quickly.

Quinoa! Chia

OMG! I would FLIP!! and definately NOT go back! Holy eff!!! My guess is you paid for it, cause she made it look pretty, and this is the after i washed it and tried it at home look? I'll keep an eye out for your new haircut pic :)

"Oooohhhh, i REALLY hope you are being smart about this. I mean, you arent starving yourself right ?" At two months, and 12 lbs, in the gym daily, i think i am being fairly smart about it no? I never even imagined when i started on the route to being healthy, that anyone could be negative, boy was I wrong.

that sounds SUPER yummy!!!

I KNOW!!! My natural PB says 200 cals for TWO tbsp! WHo knew!

I think i opened up my diary to be public. Constructive critisism is always welcomed. I never imagined i wasnt eating enough.....

Bump

Quinoa salad. It has red, green and orange pepper, cilantro, diced garlic & red onion, kidney, chick, and black eyed peas, and a lemon garlic dressing.

BHAHAHHAHHAHAH!! so funny, only cause my weigh in is Monday, and i weigh before a poop, and after, LOL, sometimes there's a good 2 lbs gone HA! I usually consider it a loss, if i see the number more than 1 full week ( i get on the scale more than just Mondays)

I do it now and then. I try to keep it within my cals for the day, and i know i will notice it on the scale for a few days after ( sodium) There are quite a few cheats I have from time to time, you're allowed ;) But, if you think it will open a pandora's box, wait until you are ready.

This made my eyes well up when i read it! Thanks for posting this!

DANG!!! wish i would have known LMFAO had a friggen vocal version of sexy and i know it, Got stuck with an instrumental one! Grrrr, and thanks for the super reminder of Survivor!

Plain and simple, fresh lemon, minced garlic :)

Cold turkey my dear. This comes from a past pop JUNKIE. I would have 3-4 glasses a day, always a pop with dinner. I bought Presidents choice lemon soda, just so I could enjoy the fizz, and when i checked out the calories, there was not much difference. Withing 1 month of no pop, i had lost 4 LBS. Then the more i exercised,…

I too am 5'5" and my goal is 160, down from 189. I would be quite happy anywhere really between 175 & 160 if it meant i am actually in A shape other than round ;)

I think if you are buying commercial PB, then it isnt quite a "healthy" option. But if you get quality stuff, without all the crap in it. I say it is one of the good foods (fuel) and should be enjoyed :)

I guess that is why I was wondering if I was doing the right thing. Most times, I am not hungry, only because I eat well. Maybe I will try just not eating, if i am not hungry :) I was just spending so much time trying to eat back those calories, and not seeing any results.

Thank you, I will :)

WOW! Good for you :)

Inspiring! GREAT job!!! You should be SUPER proud of yourself!

bump, maybe i should have posted on the motivation board...

Thanks :) sometimes the smallest of feedback can help a lot :)

I am super salt, crunch freak, i miss it, but when i get the craving I have rice crackers. They have curbed the crave a few times :)
