any kind of trail mix...I could eat the entire BAG and not even think about it... I just don't have it in the house...it's too tempting.

I have not personally experienced pain, but I think that running in general can cause joint pain in some people. I think it has to do with how hard your 'striking' the ground or something. Did you have any previous injuries that would make your ankle/knee sensitive? You could try getting an ankle or knee wrap and see if…

ditto, we eat grilled asparagus about 5 nights a week...the kids love it and say they are eating "tall trees" :laugh:

I've been using a treadmill for about a month and a half and following the guidelines on here for food...my muffin top is rapidly shrinking. Overall I've lost 3 inches around my waist and most prominently my back fat/love handles are gone, the mommy pooch is shrinking (slowly) but it'll go away. Cardio is the best way to…

Yep, you're doing something right! What a wonderful gift you are giving your daughter, a mom with healthy goals and a healthy body image and the knowledge to make wise decisions!!

The one thing I've noticed about eating a healthy higher calorie meal compared to a fast food high cal meal is my overall energy/fullness for the day. If I ate a huge healthy salad with protein for lunch, chances are that around dinner time I'm not going to want another large meal. But if I had a KFC sandwich, you can…

I think so many women have that fear of osteoporosis that they try to consume as much calcium as they possibly can! I had 3 kids in 5 years and was nursing pretty much the whole time, so I guess I will try to keep my levels at the maximum recommended amount for a a while and then scale it back eventually. Thank you for…

Thank you, I'll try to aim for 250% now...it seems strange to have it set at 100 and see it turn red everyday.

Well what about a car? Or privileges to drive the car? Or his frickin cell phone? I just think you can motivate kids with positives, my kids are young, maybe I'm way off, but it worked on me :happy:

LOL at your daughter...she sounds a lot like me as a kid! I would say that if you really expect greatness from your son, make it worth his efforts. When I was slacking my senior year, my mom asked me what it would take to get a perfect report card, and I replied that I wanted to get my belly button pierced. She agreed, I…

Weight loss is such a back and forth process! For all you know, that pound could be muscle and not fat. I would say that unless you had an absolutely terrible week with nothing but chocolate and fast food, the pound is not that important and will come back off just as quickly as it was put on. Remember that your overall…

:laugh: I get it now :laugh:

glad I'm not the only one...:flowerforyou:

I guess I'm the weird one, I notice a guys flaws...like if he has crooked teeth or crazy hair or a beer gut...it doesn't really make a difference to me, but it is the first thing I notice. Maybe it makes them appear more approachable if they're flawed :blushing:

I totally agree...my husband is in the military and I came out wearing nothing but one of his shirts...best night ever...

It depends on the style...many of those lingerie pieces are fitted, some have a little more 'room in the tummy' for fuller figures. My personal rule of thumb is to have a supportive bra or built in support top in the lingerie, otherwise your boobs will sag and that's NOT sexy IMO. As long as you feel sexy in it, that's all…

Yep, he knows my weight, my bra size, my pants/shirt size and my shoes...I cannot imagine keeping it from him...how would I ever get presents if he didn't know these things!?!?!

You look amazing!!! Congratulations :smile:

That's awesome!!! I'd say those are 2 victories that are MUCH more important than the scale :happy:

My husband and I make a big deal about Valentine's Day for the kids...We decorate the house with pink paper hearts, bake cookies or cupcakes and spend the day telling each other how much we love them...When my husband gets home from work, he always brings me flowers and a surprise and the kids each get something they've…

LOL, I just got 'poked' by a guy on facebook this morning...had no idea what that meant...

lol, NO, I gave up coffee...which might be why I'm mad at my tea :wink:

I like how you think :wink:

How could I NOT comment :) We both know I am the frontier on the 'chocolate diet' LOL Seriously...if I exercise and eat well, why the crap would I NOT have chocolate??? I plan on having many followers over the next 6 months ;)

hahaha...ditto....don't go starting a Michigan/Ohio rivalry :P I used to live in Michigan (to the OP) we lived in the Bay City area for a few years...Michigan is a beautiful place (when you're not in the cities!)

Have you noticed that everyone who replied to your thread was female??? LOL We all need chocolate..I have some almost every day without ill effects. I like Hershey's special dark chocolate chips. I pour a huge bag of them into a candy jar with a lid, then I keep a tablespoon on top of the jar. I know that I can have a…

First, I grab something healthy and raw like a banana or some green pepper sticks...if 20 minutes goes by and I'm still craving I'll try something else that is still healthy but a little 'indulgent' like hummus or a few cubes of cheese. I also have a stash of dark chocolate chips that curbs my sweet tooth cravings...I can…

mine is also incredibly obvious...Sarah-TV (the TV is for my last name which has a capital T and V in it..I'm not hoping to be ON TV)

I make eggrolls at home too they are actually WAY better than take out ones b/c you can pick your favorite things. I even add shredded chicken to mine and eat them for dinner...
