So do you like coffee??

Hello, name is Olivia, i'm from Colorado, I'm 33 - no kids, just a hubby that acts like one! We enjoy being outside, looking forward to snowboarding season, hoping i can fit in my pants! Eek! Gained weight back that I had previously lost on MFP due to new job, stress, and lack of working out. So I'm back at it and loving…

I like it. Makes me get out of bed early and take my doggie for a walk in the AM instead of the PM. :bigsmile:

Nah, never. When i lot a lot of weight earlier with MFP, i would go a month without the scale budging, and then overnight i would drop 7 lbs. Keep at it, bodies want to hold on to the weight as long as they possibly can!

Colorado. Specifically, apply for jobs with the ski companies. Although they do most of their hiring right about now, they do have year round opportunities. Small mountain towns, beautiful scenery, chill people. Crested Butte is one of the most beautiful little mountain towns, is a place where they ride snowmobiles in the…

Cider. The alcohol version!

Totally saw that...and had to rewind a few times to extend the laugh!

Hello, my mom is on the transplant list in the NW, has been now for 2 years. She has pretty rare antibodies thats making it difficult to make a match, but we are praying!

Read "the easy way to Stop smoking" by Allen Carr. Look it up on Amazon and read the reviews. Its an amazing tool that reprograms your brain so you stop smoking, have no cravings, and do not gain weight. Worked wonders for me! ...oh, and it even works if you already quit. Makes it so you don't think about it anymore!

Tonight is Pilates for me. It would be a miracle to burn that much, but its good for my body just the same :wink: Have fun!

I wear a HRM, but in the times I forget, it seems the numbers are about the same as usual.

Its normal, don't sweat it. Happens to me all the time!

I have tea. Its great for you digestion, and there are so many flavors you can curb that sweet tooth with a little sweet tea (sweetened with stevia or splenda of course!) But like people say, if you're actually hungry and have calories left over, then some popcorn or apple and peanut butter (or whatever floats your boat)…

Good story :laugh: How fun it is when people notice - and even moreso when random people notice like your Subway lady! Thats so awesome, way to go. Keep it up!

Skinny jeans with knee high leather Frye riding boots...that are loose!

Hi Kara, welcome! Looks like you are on the right track :) Way to go!

Hey there fellow Coloradoan! I'm up north of Denver. Welcome! Feel free to add me for support if you'd like!

Hi Sarah, I'm Olivia - I'm also 33 and wanting to lose roughly 40lbs or so. Would love to be in your support system! Feel free to add me! (and anyone else too) :happy:

What a cutie you are! Nice job!!

You can also do this in MFP by checking in more frequently. There are graphs under Reports of your weight loss.

All things that these folks say about not eating your calories and blah blah. But also, with me anyhow, i tend to drop a lot of weight (like 5 lbs), and then in spite of my good eating habits and working out, etc, i will slowly gain back some of that over the next few weeks, until i have a big drop again that bypasses the…

They are good sprinkled on salmon or chicken before grilling!

Yum...my mouth is watering!

Today is national sandwich day! Its the birthday of John Montagu, who invented the sandwich (smart man!): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Montagu,_4th_Earl_of_Sandwich http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/nov/03/national-sandwich-day-best-filling

I go to Zumba classes at my rec center - $55 for a 10 punch pass. So worth it. I felt silly at first, but the movements are not natural, and everyone just accepts that. Once you've done it a couple times, muscle memory comes into play, its so much easier and you feel much more like a "dance crew" then a workout class. Its…

Super helpful answer!

Awesome! And Happy Birthday!:flowerforyou:

I don't avoid gluten, i am fortunate enough to not have any allergies (knock on wood). However, my favorite cracker is by Crunchmaster, and they are Gluten Free. Multi-Seed Crackers are what they are called. 130 calories in 15 crackers (not bad). I always take them to parties and people rave about them. I get mine at…
