I think MFP needs to have a section in the cardio that I can put that I chewed a peice of gum today for about six hours. So I burned about sixty calories! And it was only half a stick. Lol and the more you chew it, the harder it gets, the more resistance you have, the more calories you burn!! Right?!? Haha

Root beer float is the kind I was chewing!! Haha. I also LOVE the mint chocolate chip icecream one!!! And thank you all for your input. As for the swallowing gum can kill you thing, that's why I can't swallow it. My family always told me as a kid that it doesn't digest. It just sits in your stomach. And builds up. And the…

Bump. Thank you!!! :)

Congrats on the milestones!!! But I know nothing about running. But I still wanted to say congrats! :)

I am soooo going to suggest that to my hubby. Maybe make a game out of it. Play some mortal kombat and whoever dies has to do squats or something!! That is great!! Thank you!! My me time is soaking in a bubble bath with a good book. That's how I relax when the kids are still running around like nuts. But I do get a little…

I am 5'3". And at last weigh in, 229.6. Like many others I've seen, my goal right now is 199. Lost about ten pounds so far. The first five I didn't know I lost. Lol and the last five has been in the past two weeks that I have been on here. Right now, my exercise regime is to just get off my butt. Other than to chase my two…

I am 5'3". My goal as of right now is to be under 200. I would be sooo happy with 199. I haven't been that in seven years. After that, goal is 150. Right now, I'm about 230. I have huge boobs, a huge butt, and a thyroid that doesn't work. But I'm on my meds, taking it one step at a time, and lost 5lbs in less than two…

Thanks. I feel smart. Lol I love this site too. I'm more addicted to it now than Facebook. Haha. The bad part is I went to Save-A-Lot a few days ago and got my fiancé frozen sandwhiches and things that he can just throw in and nuke for lunch when he gets home from work. He picked them out (as he is laughing at me for…

"It's the law of equivalent exchange". You have to give something up to get something back. You can't gain anything without first sacrificing something. (I've become quite the Fullmetal Alchemist nut lately. But this fits well.) "There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are nesessary.…

I am going to have to get some protein powder. And now that I got my future hubby involved too, I think he will benefit. And he has told me before that he has had tofu and didn't mind it. Thank you all for the suggestions. I love smoothies. (hate the clean up however. Wish I had a dishwasher. Haha) so we will be trying…

I'll have to give that a try too. Thank you

Oh. And where can I buy duck eggs??

I'm not a vegetarian but I don't care for most meats. I don't really like fish either. I don't mind tuna, but I really only like tuna salad made with mayo. So that is out. And salmon, I like the canned stuff in cakes. Made with eggs. I love peanut butter. Tried nuttella and thought it was gross. Only had the Greek yogurt…

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, I don't have another grandma I can talk to. The other one is a REAL ***** with a capital C if you catch my drift. And I don't even like to be around her. At least I'm not the only one going through it. Like she can be so sweet but some things about my life, she just hounds me about. (besides the…

Thanks. I kinda thought that too. Made me smile inside when she said it. The worst part to me was that this combo was while we were in the hospital while I was getting tests done. She knows I have issues that I am trying to deal with. The same with my fiancé. We are trying to get him some help so he can get tested for MS.…

I'd like to be at my small goal by then. I want to be at at least 199. If I am, I'm buying myself a skimpy little dress and making hubby take me out for new years. :) Have him show me off a bit. Lost about ten lbs in the past month and a half. Been losing around two a week. And only have about thirty to go. If I push it,…

I heard that from this hippie vegan girl I used to hang out with. She did that and stopped eating like pizza and stuff like that. Basically did a gluten free diet and lost a BUNCH of weight. Like over a hundred pounds. And says she feels better than ever. Just what I heard. Lol good luck

Yay! Congrats.

Happy bday. Congrats on the amazing weight loss. And I don't know you but I am so proud of you for only eating one. That Is my problem. I figure oh I'm already off my diet. So what will it hurt? And then I mess myself all up. Again, congrats. Glad the world didn't come to an end. :)

I like heavy stuff. I made a CD once that I called "mommy's workout" Godsmack. Shinedown. Metallica. Linkin Park. To name a few. Anything that makes me want to yell the lyrics gets me going. And the last song on the CD? "One Hot Mama" by Trace Adkins. Nothing like having a very sexy man with a very sexy voice telling you…

Thank you. I always loved that saying. So tomorrow, I'm going to make it a sign of some kind to hang above my tv. I can either sit I front of it, or I can work out with it. My new mantra. Never thought of it in this way. :)all the other ones I read we're good, but this really spoke to me.

Oh Em Gee!!! I love this too!! My gown is more traditional. Has some red in it but still. I'm far from traditional too. But we are getting married on Halloween. Everyone expects me to be in black and stuff. I told my aunt "I think a mom of two in a white gown is costume enough!!" lol. As for the heels, my soon to be…

I can't get the stupid thing to work right on my phone anyway. Lol. Thanks for the warning. Forget I was ever here. Lol

I hope this works. This is the wedding gown I want. Only in white and cherry. This is when I reach my big goal of taking care of myself and getting in better shape. I'd like to have lost another 80 lbs by then but I'm not unrealistic. Lol The wedding is in October 2015. Apperently the picture didn't work. ::sigh:: I don't…

Thanks for the encouragement. I believe I added you all. If not, be sure to add me. I could use all the help I can get. Haha. :)
