Yep, I will be boiling tonight, coloring tomorrow and then making deviled eggs with them for Easter dinner. :) There are too many fun coloring kits out there NOT to have fun coloring eggs!

I am a single mom working full time with a hour (each way) commute...and it isn't easy at all. And in all honesty I don't do it everyday. I am lucky my gym offers free child care for the two younger ones and my oldest has her own membership. It is hard on the pocketbook but worth it. The kids love the kids club and my…

That really is great! Congrats!

I will need to locate my Rob Zomie CD and get it on my player...that is great!

Linkin Park and TOOL...if I am doing cardio machines...I hate them (cardio machines) so much it makes me angry that I even need to exercise! But if I am roller skating or dancing then Lady Gaga, Pink, and other poppy stuff. I am very random and it depends on my mood that day...I just go through the Zune and pick stuff...

Whole Grain Wheat Thins were sent by the devil! If I don't just bring 1 serving to work I will eat more than half a box in a sitting!!! OMG!

I would love to know the answer to this...

When I tend to give myself some slack and eat whatever I notice that there is alot of sodium involved. And I don't even really like "Salty" foods...it's just in there. So it is most likely that there is some water retention going on...and if you are even close to your TOM double whammy! Be sure to drink LOTS of water and…

I am GIDDY!!!!!

Hahaha...I kinda did this the other day but not really with what MFP tells me I need to eat but a combination of other websites...I like playing with numbers...You can only imagine the joy I get when payday comes in and bills go out!

Same here, but my weigh in days are Mondays...probably not the best day of the week considering I tend to indulge on the weekends...

12 x 270 = 3240 calories in the whole. 3240 / 10 = 324 per 1/10th of the pizza Enjoy!

Welcome, and as you can see the support here is wonderful...on top of all the various point of knowledge! Feel free to add me...and that goes for anyone. I will do what I can to cheer you on!!!

Welcome! The support is great here and I am sure you will do well! I also have a true hour glass shape, but instead of the little ones that sit on the desk or come in games I am a full size one that sits in the corner of the room. Hahaha I also love to bake and for a while there was trying new recipies everyday because…

Also what I have noticed...the nutritional labels are actually different for the same thing (or so you think cause you by the "same thing" every week). Companies are updating the labels (very true with resturaunts) or the sizes of "single serve". Perfect example is the Minute Rice Brown Rice single serve cups...used to be…

You are an inspiration!!!

If you are not already try drinking milk. It helps with weight loss and 120 calories are in a 8oz glass of 2%. :drinker:

Grinds my Gears ~ Coming home to a dirty kitchen because...well I was just too tired after class and cooking dinner last night. Mentioning I would like help to the kids and they all go outside to play...WTH? I thought I raised more thoughtful/helpful kids! Grrr... Made my Day ~ A co-worker friends texted me that I inspire…

I sprinkle mine with lawreys seasoning salt (not too much though, it has alot of flavor and probably sodium).

With both the weightloss and confidence you look wonderful!!!

What motivates me as far as exercise... is taking a class...I am not about to be the quiter with all those eyes on me...I also will not be in the back of the class for that reason...got to push! What motivates me as far as my goals...reading "I did it" stories and before and after pics of people...including myself. I…

Thanks all...I do have a HRM, but I have trust issues...if it sounds too good to be true it is mentality I guess you could say. Hehehe

Owies!!! I get shin splints when wearing the wrong shoe...and with my horrible flat feet almost all shoes are teh wrong shoes! Hope it gets better soon!

Yeah, I take the TurboKick at 24 hour. I am sure I look like a fish out of water but I am moving the whole time (usually in the wrong direction)...and your girl and my HRM are close...maybe it is closer to accurate than I thought...hmmm...I will see again tonight.

Really?!?! I will have to try that, Thanks!!!

Well I am taking a kickboxing class at the gym...I have just been entering it as high impact aerobics. I wore my HRM last week and it said 994 calories in 60 minutes...but it not an expensive one and I don't like over estimating so I manually entered 750 (subtracted about 25%). Not sure if that helps you, but hope so.

1200...

Agreed Cardio is the way from what I read/hear. But maybe what your friend meant was muscle burns more fat at rest, so it is good to work the muscles for that...but I wouldn't say it makes your body "concentrate" on losing the fat. :)

I love NASCAR and Dale Jr (88) is my guy (even when he was just a cute kid by his dad's side when I would watch with my dad)...but I am sure you all figured that out. I am known in all other circles as TurboTurtle (have a tattoo to match)...again my love of racing and turtles...what can I say, I am my own contradiction.…

congrats!!! I can imagine how good you feel!
