Vodka is my choice beverage! Switched to beer, LIGHT beer at that. ONLY on the weekends. NO more than a couple. Once in a while a deep red wine. ONE glass, and not my 'normal' size either. Easy for me to keep those under control. Vodka...a whole new story....

Pancakes with little to NO syrup and half a pat of butter. STAY away from those sausages!!!!! I still get to go out for breakfast and a walk will burn those few calories off in little time!

Coffee in the morning only. Then I drink plain water or Mio flavoured water. I also take vitamins spaced throughout the day so I have 1 glass of water with each pill. I find I drink more water if I fill my metal water bottle up and leave it in plain view.

My loss is very slow as well. Granted, I do not dedicate myself to exercise the way I should. I do watch what I eat, do some weights and bike ride a couple times a week. I have lost just over 3 pounds with that little effort. What I'm trying to say, my body is adjusting to the small changes I have made and there is some…

FINALLY!!!! Getting my mojo back! Did 100 leg curls of 10 lbs! Three times a week is my goal, not bad for being sedentary with the flu for a month. Maybe add the bike mid-week.....see how I feel.

Everyone needs to splurge now and then!

My thing is getting back to a regular exercise routine. If I travel or get sick, (just got over the flu....sick with that for a month), I find it REALLY hard to get back to exercise. I look at my bike and weights EVERY day, tell myself that 'later' I'll do it. Later hasn't come yet. Been a week. Hoping that by posting this…

Cook as indicated. Add dried cranberries,raisins, dried apricot, chopped nuts, spinach, ect. I've also cooled the rice and added chopped apples and oranges for something a little sweeter. Maybe mix in a little vanilla yogurt for something along the line of a rice pudding. Use you imagination.

Dr. Oz recommends it. I tried it. Didn't see/feel anything different.

I like Vega One. You can order it online as well in the States and Canada. Health food stores and some drug stores also carry it. 50 % of daily intake of vitamins is the main reason I take it. Also had fibre, omega 3 ect.

3 times a week on exercise bike for 60 minutes. Easy goal for me. Was doing 5 times but decided to add elliptical to those other days. Needed something like this now! Thanks for the Challenge. The month of december was just a blur. Major work to be done!

Bahhhhh! Starting over tomorrow. No regrets. Good times!

Pretty much that was me last week. TRIED to find any little bit of motivation to exercise but it didn't last long. Today still not 100% but FORCED myself to exercise anyway. Actually feeling a little more positive now. Mid-week I dug out my ZUMBA dvd's that I bought over 6 months ago and unwrapped them finally! (A fellow…

9 lbs to go. see how i feel and if need be...

Anyone know if protein from Greens is better than protein from meat? I have a shake every morning with 15 gms of protein and by the time I'm done my menu for the day, my protein levels are a little 'up there."

I love Mars bars. This past Halloween was terrible weather so we had LOTS of candy left. Mainly Mars! I decided on a sunday that every time I wandered into the den to get one, instead I would turn and head downstairs for the exercise bike. Happy to say, no Mars Bar intake so far! The bike started as a distraction, now it's…

Not giving up coffee. Many benefits...besides, I like it. I make a pot every day. You know those scoops they give you in SlimFast shakes? I use 2 level scoops of those. Coffee not strong, but I love it! When we go out and I get 'a' coffee...I end up with the jitters. Obviously, I make weak coffee but it smells great

:wink: I just today. I'm concentrating more on exercise than cutting calories. I
