I don't take pics period. Pics are for showing off to others and I'm not really interested in anyone's opinion of my weight loss. I love the support and compliments from my friend group at church that is doing this together and all.....but they can either see it or not (and they do) -- I don't feel compelled to prove it to…

Not related to exercise but way back when before kids, there were a few years that I was suddenly very irregular when I went off the pill when we decided to actually try to get pregnant -- then couldn't for a while because it was hard to predict when I would be "fertile" so to speak. I did go to several doctors and the…

Well, I only have friends who I actually know face to face. That takes care of that...if I see their news feed reporting success and I want to know their good ideas, I just call them or email them and ask them personally. Problem solved.

Well, that may be true IF they stay within a deficit, HOWEVER, if someone is not even making an effort to eat healthier foods and just depriving themselves of calories, chances are extremely high that they do not have the psychological mindset to stick with the deficit over the long-term; and when they get tired of…

When I'm in a hurry, a fiber bar and yogurt and maybe piece of fruit will hold me. Fiber One cereals or Kashi is good and easy too. When I was out of milk and didn't have time to go to the store right then, I mixed the Kashi (or granola) with some strawberry yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt. Pretty good. Sometimes I slice a…

Alot of people say the only way to know your calorie burn for sure is to wear a heart rate monitor. But since I don't have one nor the budget to get one at the moment, my next best solution is to take my heart rate every 10 minutes or so and plunk the numbers into the heart-rate based calorie calculator at shapesense.com.…

Well, I am NOT 5'9" but the low end of BMI recommendations border on anorexic in my opinion for me too. I don't want to push the limit of being unhealthy on either end, over OR underweight so I am aiming for the middle of the recommended range. But it seems to me that you are close enough to the healthy range that you…

As of this week, 14 years and 5 months after I found out I was pregnant with my first, I can officially say that I have FINALLY lost ALL my baby weight (plus about 17 pounds I put on over and above that after my daughter's birth almost 11 years ago.) I still have some more to go to get to healthy range, but this was my…

"Well, you've always been lazy...." (with a giggle indicating that I was supposed to laugh and share the "joke" on myself. Uh--hello, no I'm NOT lazy....I work very hard at what I do. Just because sports are not the end all and be all of my life and I am not particularly physically talented (which I am SO OK with because I…

1 snack size Reese's peanut butter cup' 1 snack size Snickers That's it....and my calories are still way under for today in spite of eating decent healthy meals plus the candy.....over on sodium a bit although I have my goal set to 1500 and I didn't NOT go over the maximum limit recommended by the Mayo Clinic (2500) so…

All things in moderation as usual. Looked at my calories for breakfast and lunch and they are low enough to allow a small indulgence. Just had one peanut butter cup and will have a snack size Snicker later and call it good. Just have to resist having another just because it tastes so yummy after not having anything of the…

I just tell myself it's not a choice....it's just the way things have to be. So like Agent K advises, I don't even ask myself a question I don't really want to know the answer to...namely do I WANT to get out of bed and do this? Cause the answer is a given -- NO! But if I don't ask and just assume it's the way things are…

Great job!! Sounds like your NSV is kind of opposite the one I had a few months back -- I had to STOP wearing my antique (family heirloom) ring and my grandmother's ring because they kept slipping off. After thinking I had lost the wedding ring twice (and dreading the family consequences), I managed to find it both times,…

In my book tea--at least the kind made from scratch with a tea bag--is just flavored water so I count my herbal, decaf teas just so I have some variety from pure water. If I was a fan of flavored mixes or coffee, I might feel differently but as long as it is not adding calories and is mostly water, I say it counts. Bottled…

ALL "un-"reality TV, South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad.....most any anal retentive so-called "humor" shows.....Not only should they disappear from new episodes -- all syndication and reruns of old episodes needs to stop!!

Well, no offense. I'm sure there are many very nice people out there but y'all (with the exception of the few I have added) are complete strangers to me and I'm not here to seek the opinion and advice of strangers. I don't particularly care what a stranger thinks of me or how I am getting my results. Those I have added are…

That's just the base amount to keep your body functioning even if you stayed in bed all day and didn't move a muscle to require any extra calorie burn. If you are exercising that much, log it all on your exercise tab and it will add to your allowance for the day however many calories you exercise off. If you want a higher…

Yep ^THIS^ It's hard to argue that you burn more calories off the couch than on no matter what form of exercise you choose!! I figure as long as I am moving, more than just my daily routine, it ALL COUNTS and adds up to something significant sooner or later!!

Yeah, I was going to say we've had a couple of doozies but the award probably goes to the guy who pulled a gun on my brothers, all under 10 at the time, because their soccer ball kept rolling over into his UNPLANTED, even with grass, backyard which he refused to fence off even though it infuriated him that they had to…

Yup - This ^ Most spices - except maybe sodium, if you are watching your salt intake - won't affect things much one way or the other. In my experience they are so little calories, if any as to be a non-issue. The buttermilk might make a difference though. I cook for 4 most nights so I put in the recipe as is so it will…

Sitting in my doctor's office and listening to him once again tell me that they can't find anything more wrong with my knee even though it still hurts and remind me once again that I need to lose weight (after the surgeon told me basically there was nothing more he could do for me and just go back to my regular doctor) it…
