Recent Army retiree here! The last year I've put on quite a bit of weight, because your last year (for us anyway) is pretty much a transition period and I wasn't forced to take an APFT or even DO PT for that matter. I think all my stress just fell off and the pounds jumped on! This time though, I'm focusing on health. I'm…

Bake a sweet potato until it's super soft. Scoop out the insides into a small casserole dish. Add a splash of OJ, as much cinnamon as you like, and a handful of the whole cranberries. Bake uncovered at 400 until the cranberries pop and are soft. Give it a good mixin' and enjoy!!! Tastes like a dessert, but sometimes I eat…

RAD_43....the hair, the hair!!!! I LOOOOOOVE a full head of gray hair on a man! (and no, I'm not kidding!)

I'm here....retiring after 20 years and 3 months as of December 31st, 2012!!!

I clip mine to that little space between my two bra cups...it works great! You can only see a LITTLE bulge if I'm wearing a form fitting shirt, other than that you can't tell.

I can so relate to your pain. My stepMONSTER (bio mom died) used to sing, "Kelly Kelly two-by-four, can't fit through the open door" when I was like, 8 and a little chubby (dad never knew she did this, and he died when I was 16). She would also buy the "good" cereal (sugary stuff as a kid, is good!) and not "allow" me to…

"150 pounds-a novel of waists and measures" by Kate Rockland was awesome chick lit, and I'm sure many of us here on MFP could relate to either one of the two main characters. Another good one is "Confessions of a Failed Anorexic" by Michelle Cantrell...don't let the title scare you, it's a light chick lit read that is…

Sure did! Just a light walk today though. PBM went shopping and bought something they didn't "need" today....(like I did)

Unjury...you can get it from Amazon. Super, super smooth. The chocolate and vanilla are YUM. I mix it with almond milk and it's delish! First protein powder that I've found that just mixes right up in one of those blender bottles with no chunks left behind.

DITTO THAT!!!

2 grain salad: 1/2 cup quinoa cooked 1/2 cup pearl barley cooked 1 chopped red, yellow, and orange bell pepper 1/2 chopped red onion (I omit, hate onions) 3 TBSP red wine vinegar 1 TBSP olive oil Fresh ground pepper to taste! Makes a delicious high protein, "good" carb lunch to take to work! I like to add some leftover…

I quit 1 January using a PV. (personal vaporizer, like an e-cig but better!) I tried patches, gum, zyban, cold turkey, hypnosis, etc. Then a shop opened up in our area and the hubs and I went in and saw the new styles of e-cigs that are so much better than the kind you can get in the mall...100's of different flavors and…

Woops, my bad, wasn't paying attention to the date, sorry!!!! :flowerforyou:

Your profile said you are pregnant now? Please don't worry about losing weight at this point. Try to think about your nutrition as nutrition for the baby. If you don't give yourself enough, he/she won't get enough.

Children are going to emulate what they grow up with. If you raise them with a healthy lifestyle, that will become the norm for them and more often than not they will carry on with it when they are older. If you (the parent) sit on your butt and eat crap all day, then heck yeah, your kids are going to think THAT'S ok. I'm…

Honey, it might really just be skin...reason I say this is, I was fretting over my own little rolls that I could see around my sports bra in my gym t-shirt. Then I just happened to watch one of our trainers at the gym....she's about 5'8, and I would guess 120 soaking wet. She's an ULTRA-marathoner, so she's in super shape.…

Doing the Foam Fest 5K in Seattle tomorrow...looks like so much fun!!! Mud+Foam+Obstacles=Awesome!!!

My husband and I quit using the Ego e-cig on 01 January! I always knew I SHOULD quit for my health, but my fear of weight gain kept me from giving anything but half-hearted attempts. Did the patch, Zyban, lozenges, you name it. Then we had an e-cig shop open up here and decided to check it out. I thought it would be the…

Those damn Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Patties....wafer goodness with peanut butter inside...I've told my husband to hide them and not eat them around me if he insists on buying them, because I WILL eat the whole package!!!
-
Toll House chocolate chip cookies. I feel bad because my daughter always wants me to make them...but if I do, she'll get a couple and I'll eat the rest. For some odd reason, they are DELICIOUS first thing in the morning!!!

Kind of spendy, but I recently splurged on the Bose. They have a soft rubber earpiece that fits inside the curve of your ear and is super comfortable. They send you three different sizes. Test wore them to a 5K and they stayed in place the whole time! I got mine on Amazon for $69 I believe.

I started noticing excessive hair loss a few years ago. Mine was coupled with adult acne along my jawline and neck. Had some tests run by an Endo and I had elevated testosterone levels (oh boy, yay me! LOL). This is what caused mine. It's been reversed by taking Spironolactone, washing every other day with a sulfate-free…

Looooovvvve me some nappy time! I find that a good 30 minutes will perk me right up but anything over that will leave me groggy, although I'd happily nap for 2 hours if I could!
-
Will be moving to Kentucky in February...hopefully Bardstown area! The hubs and I were stationed at Fort Knox and loved the area...can't wait to get away from this Washington rain and into some Kentucky heat!
-
Did you gain all your weight in a week? I doubt it...it takes time to gain AND time to lose. I've had to develop an extreme amount of patience on this journey!
-
Hmmm. It keeps telling me "webpage cannot be displayed." Of course I'm at work, so I'll try when I get home...

Bumping for later!
