I agree with Jeannie. Even if both scales are working properly, I know my weight is dramatically different depending on the scale I use. I can shift up to 6 pounds between my home scale (which is generally lower - don't I love it :love: :love: ), the gym at work, and the doctors office (which is always the highest - evil…

Hi Chinese food lovers.. I just posted this to recipe board. Not strictly Chinese, but with the ginger root, makes a nice start to a chinese meal. Very tasty. Enjoy. .. jb http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/33816-chicken-and-spinach-soup-yum-only-55-calories

I've been making this soup for years and really love it.. Just calculated the calories and now I love it even more - try lower sodium chicken broth if that is a concern.. Enjoy jb Chicken and Spinach Soup 1 whole chicken breast (skinless and boneless) ½ tsp salt Dash of black pepper 8 oz of spinach 4 cups of chicken broth*…

Thanks again Tami.. :drinker: :drinker: I missed this the first time around, but have it marked now.. Will try this week. I love the Cooking Light recipes - have tried many and most end up as my favorites. Good to know there is food that is good for you and delicious. Keep 'em coming.. jb

This sounds great Tami - thanks.. I will make this sometime this week. jb

Sorry I messed up the quote - can't seem to grab which quotes I can delete - such a non-techie.. I"m sorry all - I meant a reverse crunch (it would help if I used correct terms). In case you are still not sure: A reverse crunch is a floor exercise. A regular crunch is like the mini-situps where you curl up with your upper…

My husband is the same way. Just can't imagine what I would want.. I've even told him - hello, anything sparkly that I can wear on my ears or around my neck.. Doesn't have to be expensive, just colorful.. We've given up and now just shop for the kids.. I did get my beer for the playoffs, but I wanted to see Atlanta win -…

Welcome to the site. It is great for help and motivation.. Good luck.. jb

handsome..

I had oatmeal pancakes this morning - very yummy. This is a recipe from "Change One" and uses whole wheat pancake mix, oats, and almonds. Very tasty and very filling for around 250 calories.. Also had coffee with hazelnut silk creamer... love the silk!! :tongue: :tongue: jb

[/quote] OUCH!!! I did the 30 Day Shred for the first time in a while on Thursday and then I tried to do it again last night and I couldn't cuz my legs were way too sore, so that hurt! But I did it! Simon says jump rope (real or pretend) for 30 seconds [/quote] Sorry, lunges was a tough one.. Did 30 sec jumprope. Simon…

OK, I'll play.. Simon says do 10 lunges each leg.. jb

I haven't seen a "Would you rather.." in a while. Are you still out there? We miss you.. jb

Hi gang, Back from Agway.. I have Boo as my avatar, but have updated some of my photos in my profile.

Off to swim soon - may even work…

BTW - you all look fantastic.. nice job posting photos - it ia a pleasure being on your team.. jb

Hi fellow black team members.. Just checking in for now. I need to get set up for the 'before' photos. DD got a new digital camera for Christmas. Now need to figure out how to get it to talk to the computer and then how to add photos to post - haven't gotten this yet. I am inspired by others, so will give this the college…

Thanks FC - some great advise at a perfect time for me.. Have a great day.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: jb

OK - got my 3: :smokin: :smokin: 2 clementines for breakfast tossed salad for dinner fresh corn for dinner.. This was a great challenge - not hard for me because I like veggies, but made me think about it.. Not sure about potatoes. I agree sweet potatoes might be OK for veggie as they have much vitamin A, but I'm not sure…

Way to go Connie - that is fantastic.. makes me tired to even contemplate.. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: jb

My kids use the Wii fit too. My 12 yo thinks it is cool when she comes in at 16, my 9 yo won't do the body test anymore because the little wii board told her she was in danger of being overweight. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: We did have a good talk about weight and self esteem, etc - she will not have issues because of…

I agree with what others have said, especially to include water in your goals. I don't completely understand it, but it really does work>> Also, your goals to me sound very detailed and deliberate. This is fine, but you need to be prepared for a down day. If, by chance, you do not follow all your goals for a day (or more),…

OK, I did the sit ups. Simon says drink 16 oz of water - I am behind today.. This is really fun... jb
