im in a Biggest Loser contest at work and im very competitive ..and i have a great trainer ..can never get to the gym fast enough to workout with him ..he is awesome

drizzle 1TBL of melted raw honey over 1cup of fresh blueberries and add a dollop of whipped cream ..cures the sweet tooth for sure

marinate it in fat free or low fat italian salad dressing overnight ..then grill or broil

whatever works for you. for me i swim laps in my pool and i do the breast stroke ..not fast either .. just concerned about a lot of laps at this point . i suck in my gut and swim away.. great for core workout and for toning the body from head to toe . just have to do whats best for you. whatever i do in the pool i try to…

yes all the time

the more buddies the merrier ..feel free to add me too if you want

back when i weighed over 300lbs i found it hard to do anything at all. i always loved the water when i was younger and used to be on the swimming team when i was much healtheir and active . so i joined a gym at the time that had a pool in it . it was easier on the joints . i participated in the water aeorobics too as much…

what an amazing accomplishment! thank you for sharing

lol yep me too :)

i been a nurse 20 yrs and it still baffles me how horrid other nurses are to their own kind.. it happened to me when i first started ..i dont have those problems any more .. ive turned myself around and my way of doing things and no one steps on me any longer. actually everyone likes working with me and not against me now…

since i started this journey i have become quite fancy on fruits. sometimes i eat them fresh or sometimes blended in a protein shake.. once i had a sweet craving and had blueberries with melted raw honey on it and a dollop of whipped cream .. only fruit i wont eat is canned .frozen i use for my shakes

you guys are great LMAO ..

IT IS!!!!! :) got me going on here..now im going to go buy me one and make it lol

i like the treadmill mostly because i can keep track of how fast im running and keep myself busy either watching a movie or listening to my music .. also i have to use the bathroom almost every time when i run and so being close to home is necessary for me as opposed to being out on the road somewhere where there isnt one…

old habits die really slow when it comes to changing your eating habits . perhaps if you bring a healthy dish to snack on to a party it will give you something to eat and everyone else too! always try to set yourself up..when i go to a restaurant i look at the menu before i go there ..if im going to a private house party i…

eventually you wont run to the bathroom every five minutes but it takes time for your body to adjust to the extra hydration.. i keep a bottle of water on me at all times especially in the car where i eat and drink without thinking .. its safe for me to have it otherwise ill go through a drivethru and get a diet soda . at…

i have two tupperware containers with seven sections to them each.. i fill them up with all kinds of healthy veggies and some fruit for a salad bar .. if im not in the mood for spring greens then ill grab some of the veggies and fill my plate up and munch away

its psychological .. i have a hard time believing i dont wear size 3x anymore and often go to those sizes when im looking for clothes to buy..its not in my head that im down to a size 16.. i eventually get down to that rack but i have to really convince myself its going to fit

i made a cold spagetti squash salad with feta cheese , tomatoes , orange bell pepper , onion, cut up spinach leaves and italian seasoning, baslamic vinegar and olive oil ..salt and pepper to taste ..loved it

i just started c210k this past week so i will let you know in about a month where im at

everything you do is a matter of choice..when i stay away from the scale i gain weight by the time i get back on it so hiding from the scale does not mean you will lose weight or maintain it .. choose to do the right thng if you are serious about losing weight or it will never happen

great sense of humor lol!!!!

LMAO

EAS Lean vanilla protein powder 1 cup silk almond milk fortified with protein and fiber 1 cup frozen fruit 1 cup water mmmmm mmm

i have a rest day because im too busy to really work out ..usually i am working as a nurse for 8-16 hours that day so for me thats enough exercise ..its in an nursing home where you dont really have time to sit on your *kitten*

my wish is to do it early in the am around six am ..but never quite get around to it till late morning or late afternoon ..dont know why but im up 5-6am and never seem to be able to get motivated right away ..guess its all about just doing it ...

I used to be a cigar lover .. more the bigger ring gauge with a dark wrapper and full bodied ... joya de nicaragua , hoya de monteray with sumatra wrappers , cao braziliam, ashton vsg spellbounds ... gave up cigars a hand full of years ago cuz i couldnt breath anymore unfortunately.. i keep saying im going to go buy one…

you are already on your way ..it happens before you know it if you stick to it ..changing life habits is a journey .. feel free to friend me if you want

i ramped up to c210k

staying away from food is the hardest thing in the world to me . keep active .. i started scheduling myself to make sure im busy .. i plan my meals ahead of time and pack them when i know im going to leave the house .
