  • Pulled BBQ chicken 1 lg bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce ( or any brand you like) 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts Spray the inside of the crockpot with olive oil cooking spray (I prefer Olive oil spray to the "butter" flavor) Place breasts in the bottom of the crockpot pour BBQ sauce on top to cover chicken Cook…
  • I'm already your "pal" :smile: but if anyone else wants to add me I'm in PSJ and am a member of Health First (currently addicted to spinning so I take classes Tue-Thur every week)
  • How about a slow cooker 2 ingredient dish? Boneless skinless breasts (4-6) jar of salsa (any flavor you like mild med or hot) - spray the bottom of your crock pot to coat the dish lay chicken down across the bottom of the crockpot pour salsa on top cook 6-8 hr on low; when it's done use 2 forks to pull the chicken apart…
  • Yes to these and the others that said MS would not be deleting anything... the only thing I can thing of that could POSSIBLY be the issue is that your internal IT folks are preparing to upgrade your office to Windows 7 to protect their data and therefore they MAY be turning off services to upgrade them to be compatible…
  • I'm not an expert and I'm not sure of the facts on sugar ... but I do know salt will make you retain water like crazy.... if a food has natural salts I'm pretty sure that's ok ... but to use salt as a spice or drinking coke / pepsi type drinks will cause water retention good luck on your journey!!
  • Maybe it's just the type of men I've gotten those looks from ...but usually I get the Creepy McStalker vibe and instantly want to RUN LOL
  • MFP gives you the 1200 but in reality for me anyway I found that closer to 1400 is what works .... basically try it for a month (or more) and see if you get results if not adjust your calories and exercise and try it another month or so ... find your balance and good luck!
  • ^ This :flowerforyou: and you may want to check with your doctor about the feelings of depression there are many treatments available for depression (mild and moderate to severe) Good luck to you!
  • I have a friend who wanted me to try this with her... I read about it online and keep hearing about it... I'd like to know more.... what is it supposed to do? I know its 3 cycles of 17 days right? But does it have a specific meal plan? Exercise? I guess I just want to understand what is it and why is good or bad?
  • In my area there are Insanity group classes... I take those because they have 2 instructors (1 who is doing the full workout 1 who is demonstrating the modification exercises). I do some of the regular some modified I get a great workout and there are instructors there to motivate me!
  • I'm 43, 5'0" and 168 lbs with a goal of 35 lbs to lose... I am also a size 12 inching toward 14 and would like to get back to size 8-10 and medium .... Add me if you'd like! Good luck on your journey!:flowerforyou:
  • I'm close but not close enough to be a walking buddy I'm in Port Saint John ..... Good luck!!!
  • I saw this on FB this morning!!! Amazing!!!
  • At my gym the trainers / staff will show you how to use any equipment at no charge. Afterall they don't want you getting hurt while you're there even though they made you sign a liability waiver.... still brings bad press if they let someone get hurt... just ask one of the staff at your gym to run through the weights and…
  • While not able to confirm definitively based on the nutrition label I would say yes it includes the juice... since it says in juice: "There are 80 calories in a 1 container serving of Dole Mixed Fruit Cup in 100% Fruit Juice. Calorie breakdown: 0% fat, 100% carbs, 0% protein." Just a guess on my part though... good…
  • Ask for a week / day pass to try it out to see if you like it.... you could also ask them to waive the enrollment fee so then it would only be your monthly fee due to join ... sorry that's all I can think of - good luck!!!:smile:
  • I found a calculator online that estimates calories burned using a pedometer... hopefully this helps you :smile: http://www.gearedtobefit.com/fitness_calculators.cfm
  • Hooray!!! Congrats!! And you give me hope... I'm also 5'0" and current weight is 168 ....goal weight 125 thanks for sharing your success so far!!!
  • In my opinion (and I'm no expert by any means) but I would have to say if your goal is 200 straight days of working out with no rest days it could be unrealistic as you may get burned out. I try to take at least 1 rest day per week if not 2... the no junk and eat clean for 200 days totally do-able ... again only my opinion…
  • This is a really great idea!! And most likely doable since it splits the workouts up during the day / evening!!!:flowerforyou:
  • 2 bulging herniated discs in my neck 2 in my low back from car accident in Jan this year... I had an accident in 2003 which caused disc degeneration so this was basically re-injuring an already injured area... :cry: I am able to do spinning at my gym because its no impact I can do elliptical trainer or stair stepper. I…
  • JM 30 day shred is good and also I just started a 30 day plank challenge ... We shall see how that helps or doesn't by the end (day 5 right now btw) - Good luck to you on your journey!
  • I have tried and like both turkey sausage and turkey bacon however like the poster above stated it is for health issues after gall bladder removal I don't (can't) eat pork.... so I had to substitute... I fry the turkey bacon just like I would pork its crispy but not the way regular pork bacon is its more the consistency of…
  • ^ This exactly .. in my area studios are always offering the first class free and the local community center has free classes once per week usually in the evening. If transportation is an issue do you have city transit you could use? You only need to take a few classes for your body to form what my yogi calls "muscle…

  • Congratulations on your weight loss!!!! Awesome!!! I am starting a 30 day plank challenge to tone and tighten. It could work for you too if you're interested.... http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.5064239957672218&pid=1.7&w=174&h=177&c=7&rs=1 Hopefully this link works ... if not I just did a bing search for "30 day plank…
  • ^This!! Good luck to you in your journey :smile:
  • THIS and I'll add I was very nervous that I was the fattest one in my spin classes but there are a handful of "regulars" that go and they have been the sweetest most supportive bunch! They keep me coming back they helped me figure out the settings on the bike and the end of every class they tell me what a great job I did…
  • THIS exactly!!!!! My husband and watched all of 20 min of an episode to see what the hype was about and couldn't take it anymore!!!!
