I have been known to check the restaurants online. Quite often they have their nutritional values on their sites. If not there are also apps that have many of the more common restaurants and their food nutrition. My hubby and kids have gotten so used to me doing this they now look things up for me before we go!

Met my hubby when I was 16, met him through mutual friends, he was just supposed to be a 'thing' to make the guy I was really crazy about jealous... however we clicked. Moved in with him shortly after, got married 2 years later ( I was 18 he was 23) this year we will be celebrating 16 years. More in love now than ever, we…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Could see my cat doing this to my dogs Love cats, until they get old and senile and start peeing everywhere.... grrr

She is a machine and is all about fueling her body. Monitors what she eats and is all about nutritional value. She has had her BMI levels checked twice in academy and she was 25% at the begining of the year and at 21% just after Christmas. So well within fitness/athletic levels. However the word 'overweight' on her health…

weightloss is very much calories in/out. When people are wanting to build muscle that is when it becomes much more about nutrition. I too have lost 36 lbs since the end of October, yes now I am much more aware of nutrition and fueling my body because I also lift weights and am focused on building muscle, however I still…

first name, last initial and original loss goal (120lbs)

Awesome job! Very inspirational!

If it is lifting you are interested in I would also suggest reading New Rules of Lifting for Women and Strength Training for Women... Both of these have wonderful insights to help you understand the requirements and the effects weights have on women. Also both have plans you can follow, and step by step instruction on…

No one has started the cruiser vs crotch rocket debate? lol

2009 900 Kawasaki Vulcan Custom Cruiser here... can't wait for summer (and a possible upgrade this year)

Why would you WANT him to come back? Clearly he has disrespected you... why would you even entertain him even if he did try to contact you?

I don't understand the facination people have with weighing themselves so much. I do mine weekly and that is only on account of my trainer. I know I'm losing, I can SEE it. but why everyday or even everyother day, bodies fluctuate, why torture yourself?

same calories, butter tastes better and is natural... seems like a no brainer to me... we recently just gave up margarine as well after years of thinking butter was the devil. Really? neither one is good in large amounts, so for the small things I'm goin natural. Time to cut out all the over processed crap.

Hockey, NLL (when the games are on tv), UFC (NOT a GSP fan btw)

Great job.

Makes perfect sense. Having Diabetics for parents and a Hypoglycemic son, I have always tried to do 1 fruit to at least 2 veggies, and with my son he doesn't eat fruit unless he has a complex carb (usually cheese and crackers) to digest with it so his insulin levels don't spike. He over produces insulin, so double what is…

Welcome back, I'm not overly involved with the social side of things, I will comment when I have time, however have been told that some find just seeing what I'm doing motivating and helpful... Happy to help if I can, feel free to add me if you like

What types of things were you doing with your trainer? my initial goal was to lose 120lbs, most of what I do with my trainer is circuits consisting of 2 weights and a cardio. This keeps my heart rate up while building the lean muscle. At your age, it will be a slower loss. You will need to work a little harder. My…

Looking fabulous... great pic with the potatos, sometimes you need a visual to really get it. Keep it up and good luck on the next goal.

great job

Once it becomes a true priority and you are completely ready to lose weight, you will find a way to balance it all. The "i don't have time" is an excuse that many have used until the timing is 'right' and I agree with above posts, you need to hold yourself accountable, and diet is not time consuming. I used to think that…

It is easy when you are removed from the lifestyle and the surroundings you were in that made you heavy to begin with. Anyone can go to rehab and get clean, but the challenge is once you are back in the real world and your real life.... I prefer watching shows where they go in and help them in their regular surroundings (X…

Happy Birthday in deed, way to go, you've made some huge changes and should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the good work.

I usually do 15 min cardio (elliptical) to warm up, then weights then another 15-20 min cardio(treadmill) to cool down and stretch out the legs. That is what my trainer has me set up to do

wow, you look 10 years younger! great job, you started the same time I did!

odds are that if he's that shallow, the girl he's with is likley the same... being a plus size most of my life I find people like that are usually super unhappy. I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny, shallow and miserable. (however now I would rather be fit and happy) ...

I think there are a lot of people who tend to forget where they started as well. For some reason or another I see many of the ones who have been supper successful also be some of the rudest. Sorry your experiences have been negative, but I think for the most part a lot of the 'nicer' people tend to stay away from the…

I use Allmax Isoflex isolate protein powders, doesn't have all the fillers and low in sugar. 30g scoop is 27g protein and only .5g sugar. oh and 110-130cal depending on flavor

Congrats, great job!

People usually stare at me and talk about me at the gym, however it's not usually in a negative way! Most can't believe that someone my size can do the workouts I do. I have earned the respect of many in the gym to the point that I regularily get compliments from many of the regular gym goers. Respect the people there for…
