  • WOW! This is some great advice! I'm going to do the 1/2 pound a week and remember that breast feeding one! I'm a huge breast feeding advocate, so I'll do it as long as I can. The exercising I'm doing is pretty much what I did before I was pregnant.....I'm starting slower and working up as I see fit and able. I totally know…
  • I use alot of the coconut milk. That's what I use in the shake. do have a fresh coconut I beat the hell out of a few days ago and have been nibbeling on little peices at a time. It's helping w/ the hand-to-mouth habbit of smoking. It's great tho, cuz you have to chew it a lot like gum; & a little peice goes a long way. I…
  • LOL! I just added it to my recipes! I call it Coco go-go Juice!!! It's super easy to make, and if you make the coffee the night before and set it in the fridge, it litterally just takes minutes to make. =) I submitted it to the data base too.......but I think that needs approval. I usually mix up one blender and just drink…
  • I used to be in the Air Force, and they reccomended it for ultimate fat loss. My suggestion tho, is not to do a Heavy duty work out in the morning........walk, swim, ride a bike for a bit........just some easy going cardio. Exercising on an empty stomach first thing in the morning MAKES your body use your fat reserves…
  • Well, you already know my story! lol! I got Dr. Approval to use patches and other suppliments like lozenges and gum at the same time. He said "with as much as you smoke, your body should tolerate that just fine." Gee thanks. But it's the first time I've done patches for long term and gum or lozenges for short term fixes…
  • Also, I wanted to add.........since I've quit smoking.......my muscles don't hurt like they used to when I'd do.......well, anything! They're getting oxygen that they're not used to. I FEEL better overall despite my morning mind-*kitten* with the scale today. There's a song I always sing when I exercise......."keep on…
  • Well, you KNOW I got your back girl! Like in that thread I started.....don't let the scale get you down.....keep on pushing. Plus, you've got to remember....when you hit your goal weight, you can't just go back to the way things were.......you've got to CONTINUE eating healthfully and exercising. This is a forever thing…
  • Awwwwe, you look up to me? that's so sweet! That just gave me more motivation. =) I usually weigh myself in the morning after i've used the toilet and before I eat or drink anything. I was having some severe constipation yesterday.......it felt like early labor pains it was so bad. Maybe I'm just full of *kitten*!? LOL! I…
  • Not a whole lot of salty foods.......I've been craving sweets so I got some skinny cow ice cream sandwiches, and chocolate animal crackers.....neither are really that bad.........I usually swim 40 mins in the morning, and now jogging 1.5 miles at night. Then I dance often during the day while I do chores........I BURN some…
  • LOL! That was too funny not to share on another board! LOL!
  • salmon and tuna are awesome. I have a good recipe for a salmon salad sandwich......friend me and you can look it up. Also, I started thinking less "diet" and more "nutrition". I use a LOT of minced Kale or turnip greens into foods. It's easy to add some totally awesome veggies to make any meal a healthier one. Also,…
  • I'll get in on that with ya'll.........
  • I've learned that it's better for me to weigh my self once a month instead of weekly. I choose the 13th to be my weigh in day. The body fluxates so much with muscle and fat, I FEEL better when I see -8lbs apposed to -0.2lbs , YKWIM? I've learned that I ENJOY exercise! Sometimes it's a bit rough getting started, but as soon…
