What purpose does the MSG serve? My son is allergic to it and gets severe migrains. Would it be okay without?

One suggestion for crockpot cooking. I frequently let my crockpot cook overnight for the next day. I put it away for the day and reheat for dinner. That works well for when someone needs to eat before practice etc... I have been there with the 3 kids. I put over 100,000 miles on a car in 4 years due to soccer. And I don't…

When asked what your eating. Just respond "Food". Don't open yourself up for analysis and discussion about your consumption. Some people just need to mind their own business. Hopefully that will help send the message or possibly open up a discussion about being critiqued.

I think most of us go through this at one time or another, and some times are worse than others. I suggest looking at where you are, where you've been, and where you want to be. For me sometimes it just becomes mentally tiring, counting, calculating, planning meals, shopping, trying new food preparation etc... I have given…

I have found ground chicken to be cheaper than ground turkey or ground beef. Just be sure it is all white meat. It seems to flavor up with seasoning better than turkey.

I know it is terribly frustrating, but if it helps I lost my first 35#'s while in a boot. It can be done. Don't let this be your undoing, make it a challenge. It is true though that you have to eat cleaner.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Scott091501, I have been enjoying the lovely spring for riding this year but I would hardly call our summers "good" for riding. LOL To each his own, I guess!

Forgot to add that one of his favorite after school snacks now is a large serving of superfood salad. My, how our life has changed!

Sending you a friend request. We all need support, as it is definitely a journey.

You can do this! You've done it before you can do it again. I have been there with the kids in multiple sports etc... and having no time for me. You need to remember to put yourself first and make time for you. I would strongly suggest a crockpot to halt all of those eating out meals. My favorite website for recipes is…

Don't forget when using an HRM that it is calculating all calories burned during that time period. Part of those calories you would have burned anyway, it's not all attributed to exercise.

Husband got up early to mow, and instead of laying in bed decided to go for a leisurely walk. NSV #1. NSV #2.... found out I can't walk at a leisurely pace anymore, ended up walking over 4 miles at a pace of 4.11 mph. Felt great!

Great post. I think everyone who reads it will find part of themselves in it. Keep on keeping on, I will as well.

You are almost my twin except I am 5"9. I started at the same place as you in Oct 2012, and am about 8 #'s behind you. Looking forward to hitting onderland. Great job!

I would try to determine your body type and then go from there. There are websites online that will help you.

Funny NSV. Went shopping today and I no longer need to go to the plus sized section. Discovered I don't even know how to shop with such a large selection. You have to shop by designer or whatever. I'm used to my section being small enough that all the jeans are together etc... Much more difficult, but I'm sure I'll figure…

Made these this weekend and they were "the bomb" lol. Whole family loved them. Served with grilled veggies and the meal was awesome. Be careful when you wrap them up to seal the ends tight or the cheese mixture runs out the ends. Great leftovers too, hubby took to work for lunch.
