Hate them, No, No. Sorry, you asked.

Lobster dripping in garlic butter. Had it on Saturday but I waterskied all day so I think I burned the calories. No gain yet!!

Oh man, I'm so with you here!! The ultimate. I gave it up for the sodium that was killing my blood pressure but I think I need to revisit this one for old time's sake!! Mmmmm.

Uxbridge, ON, just a little north of Whitby.

BEAUTIFUL. Both my husband and myself lost our fathers this past year (5 months apart). My mother passed away 13 years ago but my husband is now looking after my MIL affairs and I'm cleaning up my father's estate. We are both 1 of 6 children and the other 5 siblings in both families have no clue what's involved. I feel…

Cindywithani (it's actually cindy with an "i", long story, but after I did that my daughter told me it looked like cindy with ani!!) anyway, it's mostly pics of vacations, kids and some shots while on my runs. requests sent

Only to my husband because I don't EVER want to have to take out the garbage so I need to make sure he's around for a while.

Agree with this. I had a Magic Bullet that I thought was sufficient. Then my husband went on a fishing trip and stopped at a big brnad department store and felt guilty for the excessive spending in fishing gear so came home with a Nutribullet. To be honest I prefer the size of the Magic bullet but pull out the Nutribullet…

go on, I'm listening!! For the record, I try to eat clean just because I feel way better when I do. Nothing to do with weight loss or macros just a personal preferance.

I don't have pictures but my son loved to play with my flab. He used to play and say "jello pudding" ALL THE TIME"!!! Drove me crazy. So one time my girlfried and I were doing something and I noticed her perfectly shaped arms and asked her how she did it. She told me to do tricep dips while watching TV at night. do not…

I must restate... I TRY to east as chemical free as possible. I eat chickens from local farmers I know, and my son has raised our own, I try to grow my own fruit and vegetables as much as possible or buy from local farmer I know. I realize there's chemicals in everything. I just try to minimize it by not eating from a box.…

I agree with this and personally follow this logic not for weight loss reasons but for the better of my health. I don't think our bodies were made to digest chemicals. I certainly wouldn't drink my toilet cleaner, why would I put it in my food!! Just my opinion.

I'm 5'3" amd originally my goal weight was 108 since that's what I weighed on my wedding day (over 20 years ago). I continue to hover around 114 to 116 and I'm Ok with that. I'm eating way better and have made lots of lifestyle changes including more regular exercise. I'm now focusing on toning and lifting more. Also, I…

Unless of course she has some other great qualities (great listener, makes you laugh). Then next time she asks you to go somewhere say "as long as you don't wave fries in my face or make comments about my diet because I find that offesive". Done. She may not even know the damage she's doing. She may think she's bringing…

There is the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). It's basically eating with no or low sodium recipes. I have read the book and reduced my sodium intake to a very low level (I have genetic high blood pressure). Here's the salad dressing use regularly: 1 cup of oil ( I use grape seed) 1/3 cup of apple cider…

Thanks, You've inspired me. I'm going to look into 1 in my area today. I haven't been running lately (mostly walking) since I slipped on ice last winter and my hip is still bothering me. I'm going for accupunture this weekend so hopefully I can get back at it. Cindy

Waiting for those pics!!

I have in the past worn 3 layers of running pants but I tend to get chilly willy and I live in Canada!! Toque for sure and thin running gloves. I sometimes wear a bandana to cover my mouth if it's really cold. But REFUSE to run indoors (well unless it's below minus 12 Celsius!!)

I've never smoked but I used to beg my Mom to quit. I used to flush her cigarettes down the toilet (I know not very mature). Her line was always 'I don't want to gain weight". My response was always "I'd rather have a mother a little overweight than 1 dying of cancer" (she wasn't sick at the time). Unfortunately it was…

Now we're talking Also anything from Lululemon and a Fitbit ..or actually any HRM. My husbands insisting I wait until Christmas!!

THIS^ i went to an iridologist (reads the iris of your eye) when I had severe ankle pain and told by my doctor just stop running (seriously??!!!). The iridologist had me not eat certain foods that was causing inflamation and build up in my joints (ankles mostly). Instant pain relief, felt better and lost weight (even…

Same in our household but with a son as well. They both have big bowls of ice cream for dessert. I can;t eat ice cream ( I can't even watch them as it gives me such severe stomach cramps) so I'm OK with this. I also make rounds of peanut butter and jam sandwiches before bed. Both of these help.

I only count water as water. Not because of anything else other than it says "water". If it said "coffee" I would keep track of that there. Silly I know but I just do as I'm told. I'm not overly fussed about the number of glasses either I usually get a headache way before it tells me I haven't had enough. Then I drink a…

I'm sorry but this is not the same person!! Who's before pic did you steal? (awesome work).

MMmmmm. Hobo dinners. Haven't had them in years. Way over due!!

HELP!!! The skittles are screaming out to me!!! Good thing I brought some almods with me. Ugh!! Why do people bring in such junk!!

Hi Anne We just went on a cruise and the first stop was Debrovnik. Loved it. We actually wished we had more time to spend there. It may be a country we revisit. Have fun!! Cindy

We have 2 kids starting first year university in September. So with tuition, residence fees and laptops and printers to buy we had to cut back. Guess what went??? My gym membership unfortunately. So my goal is to get up same time every day (I ususally did a 6 a.m. boot camp class) and do my own thing. I think I need to add…

Glad you asked.. We live behind a park that has fairs all summer long. Last weekend was Ribfest. We took $40 bought ribs and 2 beers and that was it. No more money, no more food/beers. The band at the beer tent was awesome if we had more money we would've spent it all on beers sitting there all night. This weekend is…

I get the brown rice and pasta made with brown rice from the Bulk Barn and I'm fine and it fills me up. There's lots of GF crackers and chips out there now that I find help with the afternoon munchies with a bit of hummus. I try to have just fish or chicken with salad and veggies for dinner and it helps with the digestion.…
