I am getting my Masters in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. It takes dedication and you have to have self motivation, but so far it has been a very pleasant experience.

I had a party at my house last night and we ordered a ton of Papa Johns Pizza. Instead of eating it, I made my own pizza. To compare: One slice of Papa Johns Cheese Pizza= 330 calories My entire pizza= 315 It was worth it to me

One of my co-workers has fibromyalgia and she controls it with diet. She cut out gluten, soy and dairy. It is difficult for her to find things to eat, but she has gotten really creative with her meals (haven't we all!!). Anyway, she says that she has never been thinner! Apparently, it is hard for the body to digest gluten.…

I am going to Positano and Cinque Terre in June and I want to be beach body ready!!

Did you guys hear about this? http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hzJgRAaYCJMvjh98hAk45as3DPgwD9226PM80 I did it last night...it was...interesting. But my feet are soft, what more could I ask for??

I was actually wondering the same thing about my heart monitor. I wear a wrist monitor and update my heartbeat regularily. At the end of a bike ride, it tells me I have often burned over 600 calories!! I mean its a great ride, don't get me wrong, but 600 calories? Help!

I was able to find this about spaghetti squash, how to buy it and cook it... http://www.fabulousfoods.com/features/featuring/spagsquash.html

Thank you for this! I haven't eaten at Chipotle in forever because I was so afraid to go over calories...:bigsmile:

I'm slowly getting through my summer list, but right now I am on The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde

Hungry Girl has a great recipe for chicken salad, using mayo and yogurt. I also use it with tuna...so good!!

I have a question... I am just starting to bike. Do you do other forms of exercise or is biking it? How has that affected your weight loss? Thanks!! Adri

My roommate commutes to work everyday and has never had an incident on the path that she goes, so I am feeling pretty confident. Oh, I can feel the pounds coming off as we type!

So I sprained my foot last week and had to stop running. I gave it a week to recover and it still hurts when I walk!! I decided to try riding my roommate's bike to get some cardio in and fell in love with biking. I am buying a bike this afternoon and am going to start biking to work next week. Whoo hoo! What excites me the…

I tore my ACL a few years ago and my physical therapist put me in the pool! I say swim until you can't swim anymore....

because I totally fell off this weekend! I went home to Miami because my cousin just returned from living in Argentina for the past two years. And because he hasn't had Cuban food in those two years, we had quite the spread.... Oh, the shame!!

This is what I found about it: http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/lipocerin-review/

I went to school in Gainesville, Fl and dated a guy for almost a year. He moved away in Feb of 2006 and just recently moved back to Gainesville. I will be going down there in October and will be seeing him. I have to lose 37 pounds to be at my goal weight, and now I have to do it by October!!!!! Any help with ideas to keep…

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

I read a quote by Julianne Moore the other day. She said that she is always hungry. Just deal with it.

Small bag of carrots and a turkey and swiss sandwich.

Thanks for the reminder! I really needed this because my scale said that I gained a pound and a half this week. But I ate great and add running to my work out. Silly bodies, what are they thinking?

Jillian Michael's 20 minute Shred, followed by a 15 minute run

So I usually have a snack at work about 4 pm, and am home by 7 pm. Should I eat something before I work out at 7:15, or should I wait until after working out? And how much longer should I wait after working out?

Great job!!

I do mini goals. In 5 lbs I get to get a massage. In 20 lbs, I'm taking a trip. Things like that...

I tell you, I have been on here for some time, and I still get hungry. You just have to remind yourself of your goals and push through. Drinking water helps a lot, because sometimes your body can't distinguish between hunger and thirst (weird, but it happens). And don't give up!

I am with you on the MacBook!! And I paid for a cruise that I had put on my credit card...
