Egg sandwich with sweet cherry peppers. Why? Because my eggs are free courtesy of my backyard flock and I really wanted to try those peppers.

I just scared my dog laughing so loud and hard. You made my night. Gourds unite! :D

I've lost nearly 40 pounds and my stomach looks the same to me....stupid belly..... grr :smiley: I have gone from a size 24 jean to a loose size 18. Give yourself time, try some firming exercises. And most of all.... Congratz on losing 20 pounds!

I don't like the idea of special diets for x amount of time. I eat food that I love/like because weight loss is a long term life style change. What is your plan for after the program?

I like using exercise videos. My favorite are from Leslie Sansone. She has miles for different skill levels. Plus I find her general attitude funny and motivating. I don't like working out in front of people either. About 2 years ago, I lost nearly 40 pounds this way. I also smoked at the time. There are a few videos on…

Great job!!! You look HOT!

I use work out DVD's. I have to wait until my kids go to sleep though because I am afraid of hurting them when I am pranching around like a crazy person. It sucked at first to wait until night time but I got used to it after a week or so. I look forward to it now because I take out my days frustration and stress on the…

I would'nt. I think that it her body and she can decide what she wants to do with it when she's old enough. My step-daughter had her ears pierced as soon as it was possible after birth. They poke her regardless of those saftey cover things. I know it's "the" little girl thing to do but I just can't agree with it.

Lean Fish is a good protein with low calorie cost. Mabye you can up your protein and lower fats. I try to eat my fats with things like avacado's, fatty fish (like salmon), nuts and milk products (like yogurt). I *try* to eat more protein then anything else though my breakfast is mostly carbs. Play with your micros and see…

I like Leslie Sansone. She has many DVD's and online videos. I started "The Biggest Loser" DVD's a week ago and they are kicking my butt. The Cardio Max (Biggest Loser) DVD will make you want to kill the instructors but you feel so good doing them. I don't know if you have Half-Price Books near you. They have a good…

I gain weight when I start a new workout routine. It goes back down after a couple of days! :flowerforyou:

http://body-improvements.com/resources/eat/ The link. Hope it helps!

From what I understand, meaning I don't know if it is completely correct, you should be hitting your calorie goal. I am 5'6 and started at 259lbs. Currently, I hover between 240lbs and 245lbs.I had my calorie goal set a 1370 to lose 2lbs a week. Instead of losing weight, I gained. I read this article ( I will post it for…

I buy veggies on sale. Plus my local store has had great frozen fish sales. I also discovered that my store sells Tofu which is cheap and has lots of protein. I would like to eat organic but right now that is not an option.

I am going to aim for 50 miles starting today. I have been doing 4 miles almost everyday this year so I hope that I can reach that goal this month! HAPPY WALKING EVERYONE!

The Past is the Past! Forget about it, move on, start again tomorrow. I went to a birthday party today and pigged out on cashew chunks( I ate 3 servings! lol, totally worth it!) Plus I ate 270 something carbs today. Tomorrow is a new day, Fresh with no mistakes! You shouldn't feel bad about having a good time with friends.

Awesome! I love that you thought about the difference in hands! lol Great job

So very happy I read this article!!!! Thanks for posting it!

As of right now, I will scare people with mine and it's not Halloween yet. So until I get to my goal weight, my hubbie is the only one who can see it. lol

I would love to hear suggestions on this topic. I live in a house with 5 adults and 2 kids. Trying to eat healthy in our house is like fighting and uphill battle with one arm while trying to push a giant boulder with the other. lol

Wal-mart also carries the Genie Bra. A pack of two for $20. They also have padding that you can easily take in and out. I love them! Granted they aren't very attractive but they work!

I think people just need to find what works for their relationship. True enough, I am a stay at home mom and I cook, clean, and do whatever else the house needs done. I consider that my job. The key factor for me is that my husband appreciates what I do, and if he has the time and energy ( he works overnight :( ) he will…

I'm sorry but what is HRM? I use my Wii estimates. Another reason why I am kinda scared to eat back my exercise calories. lol

Another 4 Really Big Miles!

Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan.... Tuesday: 4 mile walk

I'm in. Hopefully I can find the DVD! I'm doing the Ultimate 5 Day Walk plan DVD on weekdays and the 4 BIG miles on weekends.

Leslie Sansone......lol I use the video's and since it's a combo of aerobics and strengh training I'm not completely sure. I used my Wii system to figure it out for me. The Wii systems uses METs, aerobics is under the 5 METs category. My weight is 249lbs so the Wii says if I work for about 47 minutes ( 3 mile walk), I burn…

LOL, I asked my husband to give an honest opion and he said," She has a nice butt!". I must agree because I was thinking that I want to look like that when I get in shape!

Every pound you lose is success! You look good! Just keep working at it! Maybe try toning workouts if you're concern is your stomach... Either way you're doing great!!!!! I'm hoping I can lose 40 pounds in 5 months!

Is this challenge going again next week? I would love to join!
