Feel free to add me as well... http://www.fitbit.com/user/23T7SM

Add me for Fitbit motivation I need to stay motivated

I just broke down and bought a VitaMix since I "killed" my blender and almost my Magic Bullet. I made my first green smoothie in it this morning and now I see what all the fuss was about. It really is amazing...I HATE most veggies but I stuff them all in the blender and I am golden! Dayquasar, those sites are fantastic…

Thanks for sharing!

Shaper shoes and clothes...dang it you actually have to move in them..that was a total disappointment...

That is an amazing inspiration...and I love that you are wearing the same shoes in both pics...I have no idea why...it just amuses me...

Congrats to you for coming back...be proud of that accomplishment and then build on it! Add me if you like I am here every day and don't sugar coat either for you or me.

I agree with the majority of what has been said but wonder about people that have 200-500+ friends...really...you interact with them all. i want people that I can interact with and who share them same goals, humour, etc. If you have 500 friends and you know all that is going on in their lives then you need a life other…

I agree with everyone here as well. Maybe you are just lonely. Not necessarily for a man but a person who understands the "sh*tty" situation that happenend to you. You got your world altered and you didn't ask for it. Something or someone will come along and you will know it is the right time. You can't force it. Also, I…

They sound great, and much like most posts, there is always the person that ruins it. I appreciate your effort to help people find better ways to do things.

My girls laugh at me because I have a large Ziploc bag full of tea bags. All different kind, darjeeling, green, chai, orange pekoe, earl grey. I think I carry about 30 at any given time. I realize it is a bit strange, but I think that you can always find hot water but you cannot always find a tea you like. I also do not…

What are you doing in the pictures? The YMCA dance? You look so puurdy...and skinnie, and puuurdy...you are a kick *kitten* chick!

I didn't have any halloween candy, only because I know me...I have a strong resemblance to Gollum once I taste chocolate. I have a box of 140 mini chocolate bars in my pantry I wasn't home to give to the kids here. I will sniff the cardboard if I need to but I will not open them.

I brew what feels like buckets of Chinese green tea. I have it in the fridge, I put it in my to go cup and always have it with me. I am also very lucky to actually love water...but adding things to water is fine. This is all a process, if you are replacing a mocha with a flavored water, a can of soda for a juice that is an…

I have heard and read the pros and cons on the Vi phenom. and much like other pyramid type ideas that is how they all work. That is business, that is not a shocker, no one hides the fact that it is a business. Other peoples success helps your success etc. What I am interested in is the people that have had success with Vi…

If brocolli and cauliflower tasted like a Blizzard than I would be golden. I liked the easy crappy food better than I liked the good for you food. I ate because I was bored, tired, stressed, awake....now I eat for fuel and I eat like I am fuelling a Bugatti not an Delorean.

I tend to watch the caloric intake most, but try to be good on the other ones. The sugar one is a tricky one for me dues to a natural sugar in fruit with great fibre, like an apple versus a fake sugar like the white stuff in a green tea. I try not to be to hard on myself though..this is a process and I want to be the…

I don't know how accurate this is but I wanted something that gives me a concrete idea of the weight. I am waiting for someone to lose 60 pounds and tell me they have lost the penis...lol

I love the C25K program as well although I have to admit I am only just getting back on the healthy bandwagon after thinking I could do it all myself and didn't need any outside help. HAHA...let me say, my program SUX! The biggest problem I had wasn't the physical it was the mental. I could physically run it, but I was…

I try all different kinds of smoothie ideas and they are alot like what you are already doing, although I add Flax or hemp seeds, cottage cheese as my lactose, or even cold green tea as my water. I have never heard of the soy debate about hormones etc. but I am a believer in moderation and personal preference.

I think the idea of "cheating" is part of the issue with yo-yo gaining on losing. If someone feels as though they have failed they bail off of the wagon for the rest of the day. If you know better you do better, to quote Miss Oprah. Life sometimes gets in the way and you make some less than stellar choices. Just log…

My gym has strippers who go there. I know for a fact because I went to a stag and "sweetcheeks" was up on stage. This girl is in amazing shape. I respect anyone that can hold themselves horizontal (sp?) from the pole. She has killer abs but I kinow she works out alot to keep her body that way. Her girlfriend (yes in the…

Although it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month please encourage everyone you know to be aware of what is happening in and on their bodies. Moles, lumps, bumps, coughs bruises. They are all just benign daily occurances until they aren`t. If you have ever had to endure a cancer scare, a cancer treatment or a cancer death, then…

I also try to but sometimes it is just a walk rather than the elliptical. I try to stay active through the whole month but on that particular month it is sometimes harder. Listen to your body and if you don't feel up to it then don't excercise. Really it comes down to you and feeling guilty because you feel like a bag of…

I agree with EyeLikeTacos. I don't think it was "bullying", although I do think it was in poor taste and could possibly have been said a little differently. My husband is in a somewhat public job and his apperance is scrutinized quite often. It is part of the job, and we know it. Yes she was a "big" girl, but was she…

I try my best to enter accurate information but I also have a life and don't have time to obbsess over MFP. I use it as a guide but I don't let it rule my life. My weight loss may be slower than others but I think my life is maybe fuller...not meant to sound *****y but rather to say the thing I like about MFP is it isn't…

I look younger than I am. I have the benefit of having a child at 17 so people are always confused on the math when they see us together, as well as my husband is 23 years older than me. So I confuse alot of people with the math. I also think people look older or younger due to the amount of fat they have in their face. If…

Y'all are not making either sound appealing...weightloss and perimenopause...yeah, I have both to look forward to! lol

I am still trying to figure out from the original post, what fresh tomato hot tea is? Is it fresh tomato on his toast and hot tea? I am actually not trying to be a wise *kitten* (for once), is this something new I haven't heard of or a punctuation thing?

Welcome to MFP and love your attitude! Congrats on the quitting smoking. I was a life long smoker as well and have been smoke free for just about two years...I miss them sometimes, they were my friends but we had to break up, it was a dysfunctional relationship...lol
