I had a rough weekend and after coming home from work all I wanted to do was order a pizza. Boyfriend talked me out of it and we are making dinner at home =)

This sounds amazingly good!

Thank you definitely gives me more ideas!

I make a protein pancake with oats and add steel cut oats to it. add ! 1/3 c of oats, 1 TBS of Steel cut oats. 1/4 c of egg whites or 1 whole egg 1/8th C of water 1Tbs of Cinnamon ground. mix everything in a bowl let it sit for a few minutes. then fry in a frying pan like a pancake. (i use a non stick frying pan) Once it…

ART can be quite painful, and IT band also tends to be more sensative than others. ART can be quite effective but just remember on a pain scale of 1-10, 10 being the most excruciating pain your pain should never go past a 7. I tell my clients this all the time. No pain no gain doesn't always work, when it comes to massage…

I think it looks pretty and now I can try snow shoeing here in the city. Bought them this year hoping to do it throughout the winter but we just haven't had any snow. That being said I'm looking forward to the summer as well. Having a hard time staying motivated right now. I also know I won't reach my goal =( but I am…

Bought new pants 5 days ago, got them back from "stitch it" (had them hemmed) and wore them for the first time today to discover they are now too big.

From my experience yes it could be. Our bodies adjust to change in everyway including our hormones. Since I have changed my eating and exercising habits I notice it affects that time as well. I was also sluggish, achy and stuff, had blood work done and it turned out I was anemic. I cut out most of the foods that I get my…

This may sound funny, but I try to do the 30DS in the pool. High knees, jump rope, boxing, I run or jog until I sink lol, jumping jacks are a lot easier in the pool. (probably not advisable with your hip) I basically just keep moving, to really get heart rate up even more I will just do a lap or two and then go back to…

I haven't tried this one, but the Bob Harper Dvd's I do have are hard and have kicked my butt. I love them but they are definitely harder than any dvd from Jillian.

I usually preplan by looking on the restaurants website and nutritional information. package half of the meal if they don't have half sizes, most restaurants that I go to do have half sizes. (sometimes I will order a kids size) I usually order a diet pop (not the best but only time I have pop)

Bump allows people to go into the "my topics" and find this topic again, we do this for many reasons. Don't have time to read it right now, lots of good info so we want to save the post. It's a lot easier to find it in my topics than on the forums.

You look amazing!

I noticed this as well, but thanks for the post! Some might not have noticed!

I like Liberte plain greek yogurt. I will have it either plain, or add berries, or manitoba's hemp heart seeds. I love the fact it is fat free, with little sugar and 18g of protein in one serving. My boyfriend will make a smoothie with it, it is tart at first but you do get used to it. I enjoy the flavor ones as well but…

Awesome job!!

Edmonton, Alberta :smile:

Awesome thanks for this post!!! Gives me more ideas other than lasagna =)

I used to be like you, but I have found that as I lose inches(scale refuses to show me a loss) I'm sweating more. If you are that concerned about it then I suggest seeing your dr.

Awesome post!! I wish you an awesome journey :smile:

Trust me I get it.. Since I have joined MFP I have been fluctuating between 188-202 lbs and my body refuses to let me experience life under the 180's again. I have come to realize that I didn't gain weight over night and it isn't going to come off over night. When I am pissed off or have an emotional day I want to go back…

What she said. You do not want to mess around with this. There can be many causes for this but it is for the DR. to figure it out!!! Hopefully it isn't something serious, I wish you well and hope for the best.

Try not to feel guilty. I know it is tough, but instead listen to your body and how it reacted to the cake. Did it make you feel icky in a sense you felt sick and didn't enjoy it? or was it way too sweet now that you are used to making healthier choices? I used to feel guilty when I endulged in a sweet or two, now I have…

How old are your shoes? did you try running with a different pair to see if that helped? I have found that Shin splints are usually caused by tight calves and or fallen arches. If you were heels everyday then you definitely need to stretch your calves, or have a massage therapist to work on them/strip them. Your runners…

Awesome story thank you for sharing it!

nice thanks

I am still around. Just been busy with another challenge on here. Gained 8lbs after Christmas almost have that off now.. Weight loss has been slow but I have been pretty stressed out with 3 jobs and possibly adding a 4th. I have adjusted my goals and hope to lose about 10-15lbs by April this just seems more attainable atm.…

Thank you for posting this!! Needed to be said indeed (unfortunately)

I'm from Edmonton, Alberta but Boyfriend is from Nova Scotia and he is on here as well lol. Go Canada!! lol.

30DS Jillian has 2 people with her, one is for beginners to follow and one is for average/advanced people. I would give it a try, at first I couldn't do some of the exercises but just jogged on the spot or did something similar. You can do this. I also enjoy the biggest loser videos they are tough but doable for beginners.…
