Welcome to all the new ladies! Please please please listen seriously to Gonks most recent post. So many times we focus all on the numbers and set way unrealistic expectations (I have been guilty of this many times) and then when we don’t reach them it’s a complete let down and leads us back to all the bad eating habits…

any nut butters (almond, peanut, etc), avocados, greek yogurt, using the following oils to cook (coconut oil, avocado oil)- they are higher in healthier fats so you dont need a lot but at least it will give you some extra calories and fuel for your body and still be very clean!

Just do it! I felt the same way last November when i had first started on MFP and I got so much encouragement from everyone. And I was 14lbs heavier then but ya know what its the type of class that you can totally go at your own pace. No one sees how hard the resistance is set to on your bike and its all good. Go a few…

Hey All- love all the recipe sharing you guys are doing on here! Great to see that! Things are going well. Stress is over and in all honesty I sometimes feel like its not so much the stressful events that are going on but what we do with them and how we handle them. I dunno it that makes sense. So I am just try to keep…

Well February just isnt my month for the kicking *kitten* group. Sorry ladies. I have tons of reasons but I just dont feel like getting in to them right now. Im fine and have still been lurking on here but just havent been up to par with logging or posting- and at this point I am ok with that. SH$T just kinda hit the fan…

Here is a recipe for a nice Zucchini Lasagna (to replace the pasta) quick and easy 1lb Ground Meat (I usually use chicken or turkey breast) Jar of Pasta Sauce Shredded Mozzerella or other shredded cheese (usually a small bag of the preshredded stuff is enough) 4-5 Zucchinis Peel and cut the zuchinni in to long thin lasagna…

thanks for posting! hope more people read this- going to spread the word around as well!!!!

Hey all just a quick post for me. Been a crazy week- anxiously awaiting a phone call from the fiance (he is on the phone with the insurance company of the guy who hit his car while it was parked last week) we are waiting to hear from them what they are going to offer for a settlement amount since the car was totaled.…

Jbars- check out the one on the ohsheglows blog link I put up yesterday right before the post about this quote. I think that will be a good one for you also :bigsmile:

Ok so here is a cool quote for everyone something about it just resonates with me: "Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand- relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it" Osho ok a little cheesy but it just reminds me to let life happen sometimes…

Afternoon Ladies and Mike! Meag recently posted a link to a blog post from ohsheglows.com. Meag is the one that got me addicted to her blog and she is also the one that got me drinking Green Monsters. So big props to Meag!!!! Thanks lady. Just wanted to share the link to the blog that Angela (the woman that does…

Megteg- way to go with the C25k. that is so awesome! Its definitely a great training program… I have been struggling to fit running time in since I have changed my lifting routine up so much in the past weeks… all a part of the process though! Glad that it went well with the rents- embarrassing pictures are a must! Haha my…

Holy crazy lifting workout: LOVING my new routine!!!! Here is what my pull workout looked like and now my legs are jello :) :) :) Back: Lat pull down Low row Hyper Extension (lower back) Biceps: Seated Twisting Dumbell Curls Standing Barbell Curls Legs: and here is where it kicked my TUSH Football press (its similiar to a…

Congratulations! These are the stories that are so great to hear- to me so much better than scale victories. Again great job!!!!

I can attest to what Meag is saying. For those of you that are new I had hit around a 6 week plateau and honestly I attribute it to not eating enough. Around the beginning of December I started REALLY kicking *kitten* on my workouts and was burning crazy amounts lifting and running again for the first time in years. Even…

Absolutely welcome anytime! We just ask that you introduce yourself with as much or as little info as you want to give. Also come up with some goals most people include scale goals and non scale goals. This way we can motivate you and support you with healthy changes other than just a number on the scale. If you could just…

SeeCrystal- great loss- agree with TJ as long as you are doing it healthy you know your body best! Jnlynch- LOVE your ideal Saturday! Our bodies are funny things. Give it some time to adjust to everything before you start taking stuff. Sometimes its just a matter of it getting used to the new routine Melissa- mmmmm yummy…

Megteg- good luck with the rents meeting! That’s always an interesting experience- I am sure it will be great!!! Let us know how it goes! Meag- I think we need a picture of the two of you racing like that! TOOO funny! Take it easy on the poor guy… hehehe. Gonks was curious bout my running schedule so I figure I might as…

OY! Been a crazy whirlwind week. Got back from my trip and the second night I was back the fiance's car was hit while he was parked in front of our house. Looks like it is going to be totaled- waiting on the official word from the claims adjusters on Monday.... grrr. We walked in to town yesterday to check out the car and…

Megan, I am a bit behind you, Prlly at 1.2 miles straight- you go girl. You will be inspiring me to keep working it. Im trying to find the balance between pushing myself to get running in but not burn myself out since I have such an intense lifting routine right now. All about the balance. Goal is to reach between 1.5 and…

Jbars- water aerobics sounds like so much fun! Its so great to hear all the different avenues people find for fitness. Working out definitely motivates me to eat healthier as well!!!! You’ll find the balance for you with lifting vs cardio and whatnot. Once you are ready to I recommend speaking with a training wherever you…

Im BAACCCKKKKKK!!!!! Man cant believe I was only gone for 3 days and you crazy ladies are already on to the fourth page of the new month. I LOVE it!!!! And I love how many new members we have- I think this is the biggest month I have seen since I started back in October. And it seems like a bunch of you are already pretty…

I just cut up a sweet potato. Put a little olive oil on them and then season with garlic and I also like to use cummin for a little bit of spice (not hot just flavor) it goes REALLY nicely with the sweetness of the potato. Then I toss them in to the oven and bake them... SOOO GOOD!!!

Man I cant believe we are still holding on to page 20 of this thread- really thought we would be in to part 2 by now!
