Balance is the key, got to have that for anything to work long term. Thanks for posting Alice :smile:

To be able to do an entire routine and not look like akward doing it *LOL*

Already figured that out *LOL* I'm learning I am not a cordinated as I thought I was, but I am having fun with it.

If you are in the sun a lot both color or black will fade, sunscreen would be a serious must! Tattoos are very personal, it is your body and you are the one that has to live with it so do what is best for you.

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!:drinker:

I make skinless chicken breast nuggets instead of wings for that reason. With Super Bowl Sunday aproaching it is important to be snack smart :)

The first 6 weeks I worked out the scale never moved, but I lost a total of 5 inches off my waist. Don't give up and if you are seeing differences that is what is important.

If you must snack stick to fruit and vegis and high protien if possible otherwise just say no. I do have sweets, but I stick to the 3 bite rule (no not the biggest bite you can take) that way I enjoy every bite slowly and savor the moment. Eating before and lots of water is very important also.

It is best to cover the tank so nothing disturbs them, they do get very skiddish and can even turn on each other if threatened. Good luck hope you get babies to grow up :)

Very interesting just went and changed mine to your suggestion, according to the change from what MFP had it was way over on carbs. Now I know why I was having a hard time getting to that number. Thanks Alice

I keep track of both for weight loss as well as health. I am not so worried about how much I weigh as I am about being healthy.

Great Post Alice, these are good common sense things we all should learn and yes we will all need to find what works for us, Thankfully we are not all the same and that is what makes the world a wonderful place. Thanks again for the post and for this great group!

Very nice and goes to show even small acts of kindness can add up. May we all have a kinder 2013:flowerforyou:

Vancouver Island here....welcome:drinker:

Have lived in CA, KY, IL, TX, AZ for 42 and now live on Vancouver Island B.C

I have found that until you truly want to quit nothing works. I tried for 10 years and failed until I gave up the "I love smoking " excuse and decided I really wanted to quit. Overcoming an addiction is mostly mental, the physical part is short term. Get in the mindset that you will quit and you will. Good luck

I was thrown into it by a full hysterectomy, so my doctor put me on HRM because I was only 38. I did HRM for a year, then went off and had night sweats that made it hard to sleep and as a result I was very moody. I took black cohosh and that helped, but takes about 30 days to build up. I am now 50 and don't do anything and…

Home with Boyfriend for Christmas and at our favorite resort for New Year. The resort will be my will power tester, because they have a big buffet for New Year's Eve.

This is an easy to make freezable dish I like.... Stewed Pork and Butternut Squash Ingredients 1 tablespoon canola oil 3/4 cup chopped onion 1 medium garlic clove, minced 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground red…

I upped my cardio by 15 minutes today and started a new yoga routine. It feels so good to be progressing well in my healthy life journey and love support and suggestions of those on MFP and in this group :)

Try it all and see what you like, remember variety is the spice of life. You seem to love yoga try ashtanga it is great for building strength and burns calories.

This is an awesome group with lots of wonderfully, helpful, friendly ladies all dealing with life just like you. Come one, come all and share :smile:

Awys willing to make friends and share mutual support. :flowerforyou:

Never trust the label, I used to work for a clothing distributor and they would change size labels to meet the orders. Small became medium, medium became large, large became medium, mediums became small so never knew what size you were getting.

Positive thinking is the most important thing for me. I no longer think I can't have that, it is I don't want it. The way you think of things makes a big difference. As for snacks in the house I buy my Boyfriend ones I don't like or want :bigsmile:

No pain, no gain......so glad I learned this one isn't true.

Only see a beautiful woman :)

Might try this workout, I did it and lost 5 inches in 6 weeks and toned up nicely. http://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/summer-flat-belly-workout-weight-loss Good luck :smile:

I have a mirror in my studio that way I can see my alignment, It is very helpful when doing yoga alone. Hopfully someday my little town might get an instructor.

I so agree, my cardio has been much better since I switched to before yoga.
