Wow! What a great post. It was inspiring and infectious. You have the "fever". Its empowering to conquer issues that just a few weeks before you wouldn't even think about. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your continuing posts:happy:

You look soooo amazing. You glow with happiness and health. You even look a lot younger than you did in your first photo. Stay happy and healthy. Hug yourself because you definitely deserve it.:flowerforyou:

Sounds great. I am still picking 2-4 zucchinis a day from my garden so I'm always looking for good recipes. Do you have the numbers for this recipe?

My recent favorite is a line from the new Rush album. The chorus of the song says "I can't stop thinking big" It fits for me because when I started going through this, I was negative and doubtful and then a few weeks in, I just couldn't stop thinking of major goals and such. It just inspires me to keep going:happy: :happy:

Great post and a greater realization. Good for you. What is the name of the book and the Author?

A Little Less Conversation--Elvis Presley

I lost a human head. Just hope my brain wasn't in it:)

bump to try later:)

Let me guess; Catholic, right????

bump to read the links later:)

I was diagnosed with GERD this past winter. The pain would get sooo bad that I thought I was having a heart attack. The pain radiated up my chest to my throat and up to my ears. It felt like a vice was constricting my chest. My doctor put me on Dexilant and it has worked wonders. The freedom I feel is awesome. I wish you…

My daughter is an avid runner and has been in countless marathons and such. She pretty much vomits every time:frown: Its usually anytime after 12 miles in. It does not matter if she eats or not before hand. I used to be worried about it, but since then I've researched it and its much more common than you think. At first…

SPENDING TIME ON MFP:tongue:

Penny........Penny.........Penny (Sheldon Cooper)

Lately its been in the song Charade on Rush's new album Clockwork Angels The line is "I can't stop thinking big" I sing it over and over in my head. I've done wonderful things this summer for my health and I find myself constantly thinking big:)

I was cycling by 7am this morning. I did about 17 miles and then as a reward for a job well done, my friend and I decided we didn't work hard enough and did 90 of a water aerobics class. We must be gluttons for punishment:)

How about rants about grammar. Loose and lose or their, there, they're We seemed to be guarenteed a rant about every 2 weeks! So their:tongue:

Just bought my first box yesterday. BTW, Walmart wanted $10.48 so I passed it up. Couldn't bring myself to buy it. Yesterday I was at Trader Joes and I bought the box for less than four bucks.

I use bare minerals and I love it. I buff it on before I go cycling because of the sunscreen coverage without being greasy. Then sometimes I swim after that and believe it or not, it stays on through 90 minutes of water aerobics.

I always seem to say the same thing when this thread starts anew but my all time go to song is "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis Presley. I have it on my playlist to start about 20 minutes into my elliptical (or outdoor biking). Its a little over 6 minutes and you can not beat the tempo or the feeling you get when you…

If I am ever tempted, I simply turn them over and "try" to read the list of ingredients. 3/4s of the words I can't even pronounce much less speculate what they are. Also, the sodium is usually off the charts. I am a teaching assistant so I see faculty members heat these up in the microwave all the time, but they are just…

When I know I can't go out and enjoy my nature walks or cycling, I put on a netflix show, sit on my balance ball and go to town. I go thru core exercises, use resistance bands and small weights. I basically go from top to bottom. Start with arms, back, core, butt, legs, etc. Sometimes it's a nice change of pace and its a…

I am soo sorry sweetie. I have an 18, 21, and 23 year son and two daughters. They are very close to their daddy and they to would be devastated. Just hang in there and try to stay strong for him. Just eat for strength if you are in need. If not, food will come later. My thoughts are with you.

I just went back to my diary and for a half a cup of almond milk, it shows only on gram of fat. If thats the case, how can it be "basically pure fat"?

I love the vanilla Almond milk. I have high cholesterol so I eat a bowl of multi-grain Cheerios every morning and with the Almond Milk, I get the taste of Honey Nut Cheerios without all the added sugar. YUM YUM

It means Non Scale Victory.

I admit it, I'm hopelessly addicted. I'm on summer break and I go back to work in 2 weeks and I'm not going to know what to do. is that what withdrawal feels like:sad:
