welcome, and lose the smokes! you can do it! this is a great site and people are really supportive. if you need to replace the cigarettes with something... this site can be pretty addictive! good luck!:flowerforyou:

chicken enchilada in salsa verde.

orange roughie steamed inside parchment paper with lime zest, fresh ginger, tumeric, salt & pepper with flash cooked green beans, then a little rice cooked with some boullion.

yup. i put about a cup in a fry or saute pan... dunk it through with tongs (maybe 4 seconds) then put it on a paper towel.... stuff it, roll it & put it in a pan coated with cooking spray... throw on a little cheese then i bake it at 350 for 15 minutes. the chicken is already cooked but it melts the cheese and gives it a…

maybe she's logging the ingredients for 4 servings instead of what you ate. I make a mean chicken enchilada.... shredded chicken breast mixed with 1/3 less fat cream cheese, cilantro and salsa verde. roll it in a tortilla (a tortilla that gets dunked in broth so it's easy to roll), put a little shredded cheese on top with…

well... you could do 30 minutes of jumping jacks and earn a whole bunch more food!

Welcome! I can't say that I'm THAT active but I used to be (pre-offspring). But we're starting their little butts hiking this summer in Rocky Mountain National Park. With your drive and this site, you'll reach your goal fast! Namaste'

My neighbor is on it. She likes it and it seems to be working for her. But I just can't give up my wine... :drinker:

my usual... cinnamon life cereal, skim milk.

both hands raised in the air, i backed slowly away from the chocolate.... willpower perservered!!!!

it's not luck... it's hard work and dedication! awesome job!!

Oops, just missed your reply, Erin. Under 5 feet must have it's advantages. The word "petite" for example would never be used to describe me. *sigh* A girl can dream, can't she?

Oh stop it you two, you're gorgeous! Hefer, my butt! I agree with Zen, anything for attention. Oh poor me, I'm 6 ounces overweight. Now, if you're looking for a cow brigade leader, that'd be me!

careful.... i can justify amost anything!!

I've been so good: exercising with a bum ankle... eating properly... I average a pound a week and I'm ok with it. And then it happened: The whole "I'm-not-pregnant" thing accompanied by the usual suspects: bloating, pissiness, lack of motivation and all I want to do is EAT... I don't care what, just eat! I'd be so happy…

holy moley!! way to go!

woohoo! way to go!

ok, the ankle's still swollen. i iced it, then hit the hot tub. looks like i'm going to need something low impact for awhile. so here's the question: what piece of equipment do you all use that is great for cardio but QUIET??!!

did i miss something?

that's not lame,that's awesome... and obviously well deserved!

ahh! found stability balls, they are cheap! i was thinking they were those half-round-gel-thingies you can stand on. those suckers are about a hundie. can you tell i don't use a gym?

thank you! thank you! i'm googling as we speak. the stability ball sounds like a good idea, i'll just have to find one that's inexpensive. for the long run, i was thinking an eliptical, but i don't have a bottomless pit of cash, so maybe a used one is a good idea. wish me luck.

Boy do I need help. Most of my exercise consists of jump rope. It burns an incredible amount of calories and is very high impact, which I need to keep the calcium from leeching out of my bones. Here's the problem: I did something awful to my ankle. But I can't afford to stop the jump rope. I don't like anything as much and…

NO!! DON'T STOP! i quit smoking 2 days after i found out i was pregnant with our first child. i took this as my ticket to food-central! can you say 100 lb weight gain??? 11 days is more than half way through breaking the addiction to nicotine. breaking the addiction to the ritual is something else entirely and i really…

531 cals which mostly consisted of 24 minutes of fast jump rope.

i feel your pain!!!! welcome!

You're beautiful. Your hair DOES NOT define you or your beauty. Some of the most physically beautiful women in the world have very short hair. Remember Sinead O'Connor? She was bald and over the top gorgeous. I know you feel bad, the first time someone butchered my hair I nearly died, then I just cut the rest of it off.…

chicken mango quesadilla.... lean chicken breast sauteed w/ mango, tomato, chilies, cilantro, garlic & corn, then put in a low-fat tortilla with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese. YUM!

breakfast: weight control oatmeal, coffee lunch: 1.5 cups cinnamon life cereal with 3/4 cup skim milk fill me right up!

which would beg the question: do you eat those bonuses? i'm sorry. i had to...
