I use the ziploc or Glad semi disposeable containers. I like having a bunch of the cheap ones in multiple sizes around then if something happens to it I won't freak out ( like I used to with my tupperware) I tend to make on the weekend and then keep 2-3 days in the fridge and freeze some for later. turkey Chili is great to…

juice is evil! :wink:

sounds good! one of my favorite exercises is the renegade row (I use 15 pound weights and do my rows in the push up position!)

Thanks! I understand I need to eat my exercise calories, I think my bigger question is people have talked about taking out your resting calories for the time the you exercise, I.e. if you exercise for 1 hour and your heart monitor says that you did 454 calories, that you would back out your resting calories of like for me…

I think I want to try it, just one question, how is that move on the lower back? I have some L5 and s1 disc issues so I wonder how bad that would be (and I am afraid to try it!) Love all the ideas tho' Thanks!

hey hows the journalling going? I worked out 4-5 days a week for 1 1/2 years and didn't lose anything. Started journalling and it has made a big impact. Since January I have lost 15 pounds which doesn't sound like that much, but nothing before that. Are you drinking enough water? If you really feel like you are doing…

I LOVED THIS POST!!! Thank you so much! I am really tired of people telling me that I am overtraining my body! I do bootcamp 5 days a week , plus about an hour of walking a day, and then I walk an hour and a half on the weekend. (I mean yes I am exercising every day, but a lot of it's walking!) I 100% agree with the part…

Welcome!!:flowerforyou:

It looks like you are doing REALLY well, I would just agree, you need to add MORE veggies. You can slightly cut out a little bit of other stuff and add way more snap peas, broccoli, celery (has barely any calories) carrots Make sure you are drinking lots of water too, there is lots of differing opinions on this one, but if…

So very fantastic! YOU LOOK AWESOME! Thanks for sharing with all!:flowerforyou:

Congratulations! That is fantastic!!! Keep up the great work!:flowerforyou:

Find something you like, try something new. Walk, Dance, Wii, Rollerskate (yes that's right I said rollerskate) :tongue: Or swim! Anything that gets your heart rate up is good for you. :ohwell:

Congrats Lalalady!

Naturalmom, Congratulations on losing 80 POUNDS!!!! That is freaking awesome!! take a little break, I can tell you that just for 3 months having done this, I am thinking I may need a little break (and when I mean break, I mean still journalling, but eating a little extra, treating a little) You can do it! You are really…

Quoted for truth! You are much better at helping than I am! :) [/quote] It's my job as a Mom! :wink:

your diet looks pretty good, nice and balanced. The questions that i have are 1. Are you getting enough sleep and is it consistent? I.e. 7+ hours every night at relatively the same time each night? 2. Are you drinking enough water? I find that I am lethargic when I don't drink water, I know there are differing thoughts on…

I agree, healthy and strong is better than tiny (then again I have NEVER been tiny) I think my lowest weight was 140 at 5'6 (but that was pretty skinny) I am goaling 170-180, but I gotta tell ya, I got some big guns right now, my arms are pretty ripped. I need to lose the weight from my mid section! :wink: Good luck with…

Oh I am excited that you posted and got responses, gonna try it tomorrow Thanks!!!!:wink:

Ok all, looks like Missyann is gone! :sad: Hope she is well maybe she will come back at some point!:ohwell: Let's keep to the weekly weigh in and just post on the thread. Anyone have any ideas for a challenge this week? My challenge is to come slightly under (or on) my calories for the rest of the week, NO ALCOHOL (until…

Welcome Pmaria10 You are in!:wink:

:laugh: Phyllis, so glad you had fun at the amusement park and you did great food wise, is just a big free bonus! Free, how GREAT!!! The Jamie Oliver show is great, you can go on line at Hulu.com if you want to watch it. I have been watching it with my daughter!

:flowerforyou: I eat approx 150-200 carbs per day, they stack up pretty quick! I try not to eat much in the way of processed foods, (except for the occasional sweet treet) :wink: I do eat all my exercise calories every day. Good luck! Looks like you are WELL on your way!
