Thank you all for the wonderful advice!!!! I roasted the turnips to go with dinner tonight and yum. I will be using turnips a lot more now :) tomorrow I am going to try the beets and am going on a hunt for goat cheese. I've never heard of it before and am interested in trying it. I love love love salad and am always…

Do I save just the leaves or the stem part too?

Someone told me you shouldn't eat beets raw...... Is this true? I thought it was weird.

Such good things to hear ladies! So happy for all your successes. High fives for everyone I weighed today and am down 4 lbs was happy about that. Am over on my calories today, had lunch with an old friend I hadn't seen in a very long time. We went to our favorite place which serves authentic fish and chips super super…

Yay for you that is wonderful!!!!! Happy dance!!!!!

Way to go on the treadmill!!! Awesome job :) I have a great track right behind my house whenever you're ready !

How is everyone doing?

OK Ladies check in time...... How is everyone doing? It was a typical monday around here for me. I struggled to get myself up and moving this morning, but by afternoon I was up and kickin butt. I turned up the volume on my music and jammed out while I danced around the house cleaning it was fun. My 3 yr old said mommy you…

That is an awesome NSV, WAY TO GO :drinker: I cannot cut out all sweets and desserts as soon as I say I can't have it, it's all I think about and I end up binging on it. So for me it is moderation. Except for carbonated beverages I cut those out completely and don't even miss them. Good job being under on callories :smile:…

I bought a compression bra. I have the same problem I am VERY well endowed my husband loves it my exercise does not :laugh: There is a great running store here called Striders and they have everything you could possibly imagine needing. Saved my back and my face I am sure from a few black eyes :tongue:

I quit drinking anything carbonated. I drink atleast 3 liters of water a day. I watch portions and count calories. I log my food good or bad. I do my best to make healthier choices without depriving myself moderation in all things. I am working on moving more. I have started with a goal of 30 min atleast 3 days a week and…

I watched it and plan to continue watching it. I do have to say I was a bit taken back by the fact that the largest man was 444 and the largest woman was 280 a difference of 164lbs that is another person. It has been shown men lose weight faster than women so why not even the odds as much as possible and get some bigger…

How is everyone doing today??? I am glad to see ladies joining the fun :smile: Today has been good so far for me. I only have dinner left for the day and have plenty of calories so as long as I don't binge with crap tonight < which I WON'T > I'll be well under today and I went for a nice walk with my exchange son Mars so I…

I agree the boats are enough after all you're there to celebrate the birthday not get gifts and they will be busy playing in the water and as for food I think sandwiches and fruits/veggies is plenty and asking guests to bring some side to share is fine too. It be fun reguardless heck you're at a water park :happy:

The challenge will start sunday and end saturday so 1 week. Julie I think that is a great idea :smile:

I have been bigger since grade school

as I got larger mine stopped then when I lost 140 + lbs it came back and has been regular ever since even after having gained most of it back it is still regular

Terri what equipment do you have access to? Yoga is great and most the positions can be altered for inuries There is also LOTS of upper body work you can be doing while your ankle is still healing Do you have an exercise ball? Any kind of weights? You can even do leg lifts in your recliner and that works your thighs not…

There is no need to be nervous! We are all in the same boat and we are here to support and encourage each other not pull each other down!! You can do this it will take time, but you can totally do it!!!!!

My biggest struggle is MYSELF! I can make excuses all day long and blame everything on this or that but to get right down to the truth it's ME! The solution is also ME! Just a matter of facing the facts As for the soda I hadn't drank soda in years then I got stuck in a dark hole and somehow decided soda was a good idea…

The biggest thing I look forward to is the future because the past is just that and the future is bright and holds endless possibilities!

These are wonderful things to llok forward to. Far to many people take these things for granted and after you are able to do them not a day will go by that you will not be delighted in the fact that you can!

Looks like we re getting nice group of ladies here. That's awesome! Remember this journey is about living a healthy lifestyle not a crash diet it's the little changes that add up to the big losses not the crazy things you can't follow for long!! NSV = Non-Scale Victories are just as important as the numbers moving down on…

your body needs time to readjust itself to the changes that took place during and after the surgery. Give it a little time to adjust and do not worry about the reappearance of those lbs. They will come off and more!!! Don't beat yourself up about it and make yourself feel worse. Just relax and let your body heal and do its…

mine is my first intial, last name, and year I was married.

Thanks for the tips all!

yeah I am afraid it happens more often then not with me. I do need to stash something in my purse and other places. My kids get fed all day, but I have so much on my mind I don't think about it. I need to do better and get my body back in sync and get off the weight! Thanks for the words of encouragement!!
