Hello, It's been awhile since I got on here. My new food that I cooked was green lentil stew - I have cooked with green lentiles before but not this particular recipe. We really enjoyed and three cups of lentils made so much food! Here is a recipe I really like for kale, put a bit of olive oil in a frying pan or walk, chop…

Hello! Hope everyone is well. We have two kids with coughs in this house but I think they are getting better. The matriarch is arriving today and everyone can hardly wait till 2pm. I will be away this week for two days in Saskatoon and eating out is always tough for me to stick to something healthy. What do you usually…

yeah joey i do. 0000 Loser Way.

Tough competition it is! I think that I should set up the treadmill right in my office and walk while having meetings since I sit on my butt way too muh. So good for you Joey that the butt is looking good mine is just getting flatter and flatter! Bikini - that is definitaly a motivator. I was looking at pictures from…

Welcome Jamie! I'm hoping that this challenge keeps me motivated - if I don't stick to it I'm afraid I'd get to the 200 lbs mark before you do and it wouldn't be lean muscle mass. So my motivator is to never get there. Super Joe was giving me tips at christmas on weight loss I think it went something like this "avoid all…

Yesterday randall came home and asked me if I got the Jillian Micheal's workout in. I informed him that the kids didn't go to bed till almost 9 and at 9:00 p.m. Brothers and Sisters was on (gotta prioritize, right? I need you to back me up on this one ladies) So while watching the show I did some yoga moves jillian…

HELLO! i'm so excited that most of you are here now, just missing the doctors and I haven't hear from Brenda. Randall is going to start a spreadsheet to tally up everyone's scores on a weekly basis. Just to recap the activity must be minimal 20 minutes = 1 point anything over 20 minutes is still 1 point however if there…

Great to see you on here Gen! YES please log in daily if you have time. I am going to give it a try so far my favortie green has been parsley or kale (not a lot of it though) I will give the mixed greens a try. Love the berries and pears that is not the problem at all. I find it that I like it the most in the mornings it…

Wow, curves has come a long way since I was going proabably 8 years ago. That sounds like it is going to be fun! How is your Curves diet coming along? Is it in phases. I remember when you stayed with us there was a diet you were following and I thought that it had to do with different phases.

I thought of drinking green tea instead to see if it would make any difference in how I feel and to reduce the creamer calories (flavored -50 cal) usually twice a day. Instead I am going to try the green tea in the afternoon and keep the coffee for the mornings.

45 minutes Lynn that is great. Is Zumba part of their resistence training or something totally new? I walked again today on the treadmill - 30 minutes. Much easier watching TV then reading the time went by really fast. Bought a new blender and it has power, it is really loud but it can make smoothies in no time. The kids…

GREAT JOB! My goal is to start running. I never liked it when I have tried it before but now I am trying to do a learn to run 8 week program and hopefully it gets me going. I am pretty excited. It is using the treadmill vs going outside. It's -36C here today so if I can learn to run by the spring I will take it outside!…

Hello Lynn! It's so great to see you made your way here! You have done fansastic at staying motivated and on track I think I speak for all when I say way the go! :flowerforyou: I think you look as great as you did at our wedding, I always think of you in that picture from alaina's first birthday - wow-your now half the…

Thank you both for the great tips! It's motivating for me to read through the posts of individuals who have succeeded and stay on track and if they fall off they get right back on it! Keep up the Good work!

I am really looking forward to the H crew getting on here and am happy to hear that everyone is in! Chinese food for supper tommorow and then Monday morning I will be serious and ready to go. I have found it difficult to get in my veggies/fruit (7 servings) as recommended until I discovered "green smoothies" now I want to…
