Use to run all the time for basketball way, way back in the day and hated every minute of it. 22 years later, found the C25K app and love the app and didn't mind the running. The only problem is that I try to push myself too hard or had the wrong shoes and end up with shin splints on day 8 (half way through week 2) . . .…

I use part yogurt and part mayo. Then I chop peppers and onions (or whatever veggies I want). It gets a little watery - don't know if it is because of the yogurt combination or what. I'm assuming anyway!

Definitely to try this weekend!

You go girl! Not only do you look fabulous but you were able to pick yourself up and get what you wanted! There are two sayings that I absolutely love. First, if life knocks you down, try to land on your back because if you can look up, you can get up. That you did!!!! It's about the journey (sometimes it's a journey…

I cannot workout late afternoon/early evening. I'm up at 4:15 AM Monday through Friday to get my workout completed. I like having it out of the way - I know it gets done this way! By the time the end of the workday rolls around and drive an hour home w/o traffic, that's the last thing I want to do is go home and jump on…

Bump

Bump so I have the recipe!

Our grocery stores in the Midwest finally started carrying the Banana flavored Cream of Wheat! I mix it with a pack of original and yummy! But I like the original just plain!

Yummy! Cannot wait to try them out

Just found this yesterday . . .haven't tried it yet but it sounds yummy too - found it on Greatist.com website. Pesto Quinoa Salad What You’ll Need: 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa 1 cup low sodium vegetable stock (or water!) 7 thin stalks asparagus, sliced diagonally into bite-sized pieces 1/4 cup diced red onion 1/2 cup diced…

This is my favorite way to make them too!!! FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that workout video!!! I had success with it a few years ago and am recommitting to it today! I was too tired last night but still stayed under my calorie goal. Good luck!!!

I used Chantix to quit smoking - it has an appetite suppressant in it (I was told). I didn't gain anything until I found out I was losing my job last year. That did me in with the bad food choices. . . . . . but we are back on track with exercising and MFP (finally after several failed attempts). It all comes down to…

I got nothing other than wings and beer! It will be somewhat of a cheat day but don't want to make it too much of a cheat day because weekends are bad enough! Looking for something yummy and easy to make! Go Bronocos!!!!!! I hate not cheering for Seattle since they are in our division but got to go with my boy, Manning!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Will definitely be trying most of these.

I do the same thing (except the towel). I found a few hour long shows that I really like to watch and it helps the time fly by!!! Plus it is something that I only watch IF I'm on the treadmill! Good luck on your journey! There are a lot of great people that use MFP with a lot of fantastic ideas! We wish you nothing but the…

Hungry Girl's The Whole Enchilada Chicken Soup is tasty! The only thing that I changed was that I added beans to make it a little more filling! I have tried several bean combinations and pinto with butter beans has been my favorite so far! It calls for a can of pumpkin, which you cannot taste, and I'm guessing you cannot…

It's my favorite workout videos ever so I'm in. I will only be doing level 1 (no moving to level 2 for me- too many moves that could send me into back pain if I'm not careful) but did start on 9/30 so this morning was day 6. I do the video Monday thru Friday mornings & then treadmill in the evenings to round out my 50 to…

Beautiful photo and congratulations! Here's to many more years! I was in the same weight gain boat after a job layoff but found that taking a couple of the challenges on the MFP boards has helped. I just started back last week but on Friday when I didn't want to get up to work out, my first thought was could I log zero…

Me too! Just cannot find my motivation either! I'm good for two days and then something happens to get me out of my routine and it sucks! It takes so long to get back into it! After watching my Grandmother pass away due to diabetes complications, I was so focuses. Then, like you, in July 12 had some medical problems where…
