This is from Tosca Reno's book Eating Clean Recharged. "Sprouted grains of any kind are beneficial to the diet since the sprouting process releases more nutrients. Traditionally, all grains and seeds were sprouted, which yielded as much as 10 to 20 times more nutrients than are found in processed seeds. A further benefit…

Hey! The last time I bought bras, I was fitted and such, and I asked the lady for help with picking out a sports bra. She said that sometimes you need one cup size smaller than you normally do. I'm a 40 D and I have a C. It's not even underwire. They do bounce a little LOL but not nearly as much as if it were a regular…

I'm in the same boat as you are. :smile: It's aggravating... maybe we need an accountability partner? Take a picture of yourself (in the tightest clothing possible - bra and underwear, if necessary) and put it up somewhere you know you'll see it every day. Maybe inside that box of whatever it is you may get the hankering…

Ladies, would you mind if I joined your group? My name is Chelsea and I would really like some ladies' support. :) The hubby is great, but not quite exactly what I need, ya know? LOL!! We just had our 2nd anniversary (Aug. 30) and this month AF was late, so we got excited and scared because I wanted to lose weight before…

So, I changed my weigh-in days to Mondays. :blushing: I figured it would make me more accountable over the weekends. hahaha! Since today is Monday, I weighed in at the gym today... I am now at 213!! Since I saw my trainer last, I have lost 4 pounds, and since last Monday, I have lost 2!!! Sooooo stinking excited! :happy:…

Congratulations!!! You look great!! And so happy! :) Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I hope you all do wonderfully, too!! :flowerforyou: I am going back to finish my Vocal Performance degree. Completed 2 years, got married, tried to continue... didn't. LOL. But now I'm going back. Hopefully only 2 (maybe 3) years left, so I will finish this and then we can start trying…

OOH! I love threads like this... so many suggestions, so little time! I just started "A Bride in the Bargain" by Deeanne Gist. Before this book, I read the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (Soooooo good!) And I'm def. a Twihard! I will admit I am a Team Switzerland... can't choose between the two. :wink: Can't…

*whew* :laugh: Thanks, ladies. I appreciate the quick responses. And I will be sure to drink more water! :smile:

LOL... that's true... if they could stop at half. :tongue: I know I couldn't. And didn't. lol!

I am eating this right now... it's wonderful! Thank you to the OP! :happy: I overcooked my chicken breasts, so they're a little dry... but that's my own fault. LOL! Great recipe.

Question for those of you who used chicken breasts instead of thighs... How did you cook them? Did you broil them as well, or did you bake them? I saw that someone used a crock pot, but I only need to feed 2 people and have a huge crock pot. LOL! Just curious... this sounds wonderful and I am thinking about making it…

Sorry... not sure how to put a link in my post, but you can copy and paste the address and it will take you right to it. Sorry! LOL

Nicole- I didn't get past the first week. haha! But not because it was hard. It eases you into running, so it's great. I think anyone who really wanted to do this program could. Even with no previous running experience. There are several posts on MFP that "graduates" of C25K have posted talking about their experience with…

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! Leash, I am right there with you... had house lo mein last night and felt awful afterwards. :sick: It's one of my weaknesses... I just ate too much. LOL! I am amazed at how you ladies do it all. Work, teach, and exercise and eat right? I only work 40 hours/week... and still have…

Do you mind if I join you ladies (and guys)? My name is Chelsea. I am 21 and have about 65-75 lbs. to lose. I have been on this site for a few months, it's just hard for me to log everything. Sometimes I'll cook a recipe and don't want to put it in the computer so I can use it. LOL... just lazy. I would really like to have…

These are too funny... :)

Hey, everyone! I hope everyone is doing ok. I am going to have to start over. LOL! I did D1 and D2, but never did D3. I think I will start again on Monday and actually do it this time. I will still check in with everyone and see how you guys are doing. Just to put my 2 cents in... I went for my Wellness Works evaluation…

LOL Me too!!

Just did D2. I am enjoying this. :happy: I will run again on Saturday after work and will get back on track with you guys on Monday. Keep it up, everyone!

Well, dang... I didn't get to do C25K today. :ohwell: I will tomorrow at the gym. I fell asleep today after work and didn't get to do it. LOL! So... tomorrow, it is!

I would def. have freaked out if there was a dog chasing me... :noway: I am doing D2W1 today. Gonna try it at the gym on the treadmill. I will see which I like better and stick with that. I probably will like just running around my house because I always feel like I'm gonna fall off the side of the treadmill. I can't walk…

Whew!!! I just got back... rough... but I feel great. LOL! The last 2 or 3 jogs I was like... "Oh dear gracious... help me!!" LOL! But like I said, I feel great. I gotta take a shower and go to my meeting at work. I have sweat pouring down my face. :smile: Just make sure you bring water with you. You will want it. Good…

I'm excited!! :happy: If you have iTunes or Rhapsody or whatever media player you have, just download it and it should be on that program. Hook up your mp3 player to your computer and some drag-and-drop, some you have to push a certain button, blah blah. LOL! It's just different. I am using the podcasts from…

I am starting tomorrow. I almost did it today... but I figured I would wait for you guys. :wink: We can check in wherever. I have no preference. :smile: I would really like to go find a sports bra... but it may have to wait until I get paid on Friday. LOL!

I really like Sarah Lee's 45 calorie bread. I eat the 100% Honey Wheat or just the Whole Wheat. It's really good. And not a lot of calories. :)

WannabeaCullen- First of all... LOVE the SN!! (I do, too... :wink: ) But I'm right there with you about "getting in shape to get in shape" :smile: Tara- I think that's a great idea. I'm not sure how accurate my scale is, though. I went to my gym and weighed in last Friday and it said 213. Yesterday my scale at home said…

Do you mind if I join you? I have been reading other people's comments about it and they seem to love it. I have always wished that "I could run" LOL. I will join you in starting on Monday. I am a member of the gym, and probably will do it there, but may do it outside a few times. :) Will those podcasts work on a normal…

I was curious, is there a way to change your starting weight?

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone! :)
