  • Same here! I was very pleased to find this group of people. I will add you ladies. Have a fabulous weekend!
  • Bump! Yum!
  • Maybe they would like to join? Misery loves company, so I suppose they may be admiring your attitude and commitment and wish they had the same self-control. Maybe they just need a nudge to start their own healthy lifestyle change? OR... find new lunch buddies, don't let them stand in your way!!
  • I like to steam them and eat them plain with a little hot sauce. My coworkers grown when I bring in the left-overs for lunch... They really stink up the place!!
  • 148 is nothing to be disgusted at! I gained weight like that when I was your age. I paid for Weight watchers at the time. I was totally broke, in college, but committed! I learned so much how to control my eating and how to truly balance my calorie intake and still have a life! The weight came off slow, but steady. Just…
  • DO NOT JUDGE ME.... Got it???:drinker: But, back in college - I did like to go out and have a few beers (shocker). I also did WW, so I wanted to keep my calories low, yet get the enjoyment of a buzz while drinking... My BF then, now husband, created me a spreadsheet (such an engineer!) that we named "Beer Bang for your…

  • Hungry Girl has tons or recipes to use Laughing cow cheese! I have used it with mini-pizzas on whole grain pitas too.
  • You could do late 90's. Think bright glossy lip-gloss (almost purply), baby tee that says something obnoxious, like "Spoiled Brat" or "Don't hate me because your boyfriend thinks I'm beautiful". Flair jeans, piggy tails for only half your hair - just the front. If you have any old wash off N Sync tatoos, that'd do too!…
  • At one point I was cutting and pasting it on my NOTES section just to keep track. It is based on a formula- and may be very unrealistic. BUT... It's really encouraging so I love it!!
  • YUM! commenting so I note that recipe.. I have to try that.:happy:
  • Thanks guys! I'm going to try the simple sautee idea first and hopefully venture out. :flowerforyou:
  • You're probably getting sick of hearing it- but you look just amazing!!! You are beautiful and what a good-looking family. You have so much to be proud about. :flowerforyou:
  • Everyone kept telling me to get a HRM.. it was the best money spent. I bought a really cheap one at Walmart for 25 bucks and it didn't keep any sort of consistency... Returned that puppy real quick! Then, I got a Polar FT4. It was the best money spent!!! It is accurate, consistent, easy to use, etc. I didn't want to spend…
  • Team Mike all the way :laugh:
  • Green pancakes??? What a great idea! Thanks. Its fun and festive:)
  • P90X is over 100 (if I recalll correctly) is an hour a day, has a specific eating plan, has much more variety, and is a much larger committment. You can get 30 day shred for under 10 bucks, its 30 minutes a day, etc. I would recommend trying the less expensive (Jilian's) to see if you like it. It's a great work out and you…
  • I too, am on a budget and I bought a 30 dollar HRM at Walmart. It worked one day and then gave me completely different results the next two days. It also wouldn't get me my heartrate when I was running.. so, needless to say it was NOT worth the 30 bucks. Instead, I returned it and "splurged" on a Polar HRM. I have read all…
  • I mash them up, put salt/pepper on them and use them as the "meat" and mayo of a sandwich. For example, two slices of whole wheat bread, tomatos, shredded lettuce, onion, avacado. Yum!
  • Similarly, I used to hate the guy that would act all bummed and miffed in college when he got his paper back and recieved a B. Meanwhile, I'd be content with my C.... I really dislike that guy :laugh:
  • You look great and should be very proud!! How are you doing it? Keep it up! :flowerforyou:
  • My fiance and I buy mostly all of our jeans at Express. They usually have big sales and offer lots of coupons. Honestly, they are always trending, fit great, and last long. HIghly recommended- and I'm not a spokesperson for Express- just a big fan! :)
  • what about Club Soda? Anything potentially harmful there if you like the fizz and add lime/lemon?
  • Alright then.. What HRM do you use? How much do you need to spend in order to get a certain level of accuracy?
  • If you hate the food and it makes you sick... maybe eat something small before you go! Then order a fruitcup so you feel as though you are partaking in the lunch and a yummy coffee with skim milk! I looooove Panera too - just stay away from that deliciously taunting most wonderful looking cinnamon roll... yum. :love:
  • I am soooo glad you asked! I made this last night for me and my fiance and we just loved it!!!! Its very versatile and I'm thinking you can do all sorts of veggies and variations. It comes highly recommended and it's very easy!! http://www.hungry-girl.com/week/weeklydetails.php?isid=1991 The Great Greek Pizza PER SERVING…
  • Yeah, this site is about getting healthy and improving your diet. Some people do lose weight- a wonderful perk and self-esteem booster! You don’t have to be fat, as you so eloquently put it… :grumble:
  • That is so cool. You look stunning, you really do. I hope you had a wonderful time!
