I'm not able to eat much sodium...so for me, chicken needs to be somewhat plain. Low broil...10 to 12 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Also, the chicken needs to be completely defrosted prior to broiling.

Went too a Zumba class today...was high steppin' when I recalled that 4 years ago I thought about selling my home because (due to chronic injuries) I could barely walk up the stairs in my home! My weight has been steady for some time now...and that's where I need to be...increased intensity in terms of weight training plus…

(Keepin' it clean...) what would I do without the restrictions?

Best wishes to you as you start this journey! As you already know there will be ups and downs...stay with it. You're worth it! ...and BTW I love your smile!!!! :smiley:

Lots of thoughts but I'll try to be brief...please see a medical doctor. If you're able to speak to a nutritionist please do so. Folks have mentioned here that you should tale a look at your relationship with food - yes! I read your profile. Sure, society wants to dictate measures of success, heath and beauty. Still, the…

I just keep doing what I've been doing all along. I'm happy to say I learned some really great habits over the past two and a half years...eat right, log my entries...workout/train 5 -6 days a week...I've maintained an 80+ lb. loss for well over a year now. Feeling great and I don't have any intention of stopping! :smile:

45 minutes of spin class plus 45 minutes of walking

One year...and that was over a year ago! I had to deal with chronic injuries and other medical conditions, so I worked with a trainer who helped me tremendously. As far as advice or tips...* It’s hard work. There’s no magic solution. You have to be consistent. Once the consistency kicked into gear I found it easier to…

First of all, congratulations on losing 80 lbs! I understand that accomplishment - and it's a big deal! If you were to look at my photo you may not see some loose skin on my arms, but it's there, and it's there in other parts of me. too! Lifting is slowly starting to fill in some of that but I know I have a ways to go.…

We buy lots of veggies...I eat both omelettes and salads with onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and spinach (plus other veggies) pretty much every day. We also decided to invest in extra containers to make sure everything stays fresh. Yes, some cuts of meat can be more expensive, so we also buy in bulk, freeze quite a bit, and…

...short answer...do I have a cheat meal? No. Do I have a small snack every day? Yes. I improved my eating habits two years ago and haven't looked back. Why? Because there are medical conditions that run in my family. I'm dong my best to keep those at bay for as long as I can with good nutrition and exercise. That's…

The instructor of my weight lifting and core exercise class came up to me after class, said he had to hug me and said, "You're awesome!" Worked my tail off...I wan't aware anyone would notice, let alone the instructor! Yes!!

I'm the same height and weight that you are now. People have also made comments to me. If they persist, I tell them that my weight and health are between me an my doctor! If they still persist, then I tell them "thank-you for being concerned, but as I said there are people who monitor me (in addition to my doctor I'm…

Welcome back OP to this wonderful post I read all the way through that’s better than most I laughed and I giggled and gave such guffaws At the wonderful verses. Applause, oh applause! As I chew my dinner, a salad I enjoy I wonder about the words that I can employ To keep this thread going ‘cause I want to see more Of the…

Years ago I had a friend who told me he "Had the tendency to treat strangers better than he treated his friends." I didn't understand that until he started canceling plans at the last minute and always said, "Thanks for being understanding." After this happened a few times I said, "Let's be clear about this. I'm NOT…

...would rather focus on you... As others indicate, it's not a "diet." Why do you believe you're not able to do this? Best wishes.

I eat a daily salad with spinach, red, gold or yellow bell peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. I know you said you don't care for tomatoes, but there are different varieties with slightly different tastes such as cherry or sunshine tomatoes - if you'd like to give that a try (or not)! :) From there I may also add grated…

Received a HANDWRITTEN thank-you note from someone!!

Oh yeah, definitely logged...no reason to change! As the gym is closed today I'll be there tomorrow morning. It will help me to avoid the mall - my bigger temptation at this point! :bigsmile:

Sure...no different that any other day!

Depends on who you ask...so I like to just think that I look "BETTER!" :D

Hello. I don't know anything about you but I look at your picture and what I see is a lovely young lady. If you're thinking "Yeah, right." or, "No, I'm not." Well, I'm not sure that I know any woman who hasn't had issues with her body at one time or another. We all have the tendency to look at ourselves and wish that some…
