Thanks ;) I also needed a reminder and this helps!

lol that is kinda funny and I thought about it after I posted and immediately thought of the saying once you go black you never go back!!! LMAO But it is really a superfood and it is very good for you... People just don't know about it...Since I've been eating it I've seen it on some cooking shows and in a few recipes but…

Agreed just tell them directly that you have met your goal and be done with it... Maybe they are thinking more of supporting you than anything else... I'm sure those same people were supporting you when you were still working towards your goal so I would think it would be strange for their support to stop just bc they…

Use should try black rice which is highly recommended bc of the antioxidants,vitamins, and fiber so it's like a superfood rice lol - I have totally replaced my white rice (which I LOVE) with it and I've been able to switch over with no intentions of eating white rice... Of course it does have carbs but you just have to…

Definitely pinterest but also cookinglight.com, livingbetteramerica.com, WebMD.com, Mayoclinic.com, healthyeatingsite.com... Also the food network has an healthy eating recipe option on their site as well... There are limitless options out there!

:tongue: this is the best thing that could be said in response to this post

I'm calculating the time I have left at this desk today - like every 30 seconds lol - :glasses:

You're def not alone with this dilemma!!! I have a HUGE problem with the same thing... I just get pure lazy and don't want to do anything except for all the things I'm not supposed to do lol... It's a struggle for me but as time goes on, I can def see more little changes over time on my weekends and they seem to get better…

OMG!! the answer is Hell YES! I sit down ALL day researching, and analyzing medical records for hearings!! I have to make myself get up... I love my job but I hate that it's not as active as I normally am... Usually I love the outdoors and just moving around doing stuff, but it feels like I'm stuck sometimes, yes doing a…

Wow, well first off you look great and your pic does give off a nice energy (sorry that's the libra in me!!) I've never seen one person take that many forms of vitamin B but as long as you've done you're research and you know you're not over doing it, they you should be fine. I've found that b6 is usually ok to take and…

Wow, you're so awesome! So many good tips and advice!! THANKS and you're right, this is the best thread EVER and what being on MFP is or SHOULD be all about!

I started my first day of RI30 on Monday and 2nd day on Tuesday, only walked 4 miles on Wednesday and day 3,4, and 5 will be the remainder of today, Fri, and Sat... Rest on Sunday and start week 2 on Monday. I can honestly see a difference in my body and the next day I can tell that I've burned in the right areas... I…

THAT IS ----> ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!! I DONT KNOW YOU BUT I'M PROUD OF YOU FOR TAKING CONTROL!!!

I have to watch my BP like a hawk bc I'm also salt sensitive so I have researched and tried different things. As others have said lower sodium intake because there's such a high amount in nearly everything you eat that it constantly builds all day. Other things that help me are taking a regimen of fish oil and garlic oil…

:smile: Wow!!! CONGRATS!!!

Please just keep going and don't let not losing get to you. You are changing your life a little at a time and really your exercise is helping your health overall...

Well said! And this is so true!! I'm not one who rates myself or others but everything to me is based on that persons actions alone... At the end of the day you do have to be happy and love yourself before anyone else can.

I've actually been on fish oil bc it helps keep blood pressure down and I've just started taking CLA... I've researched and found that CLA is good for the stomach fat but taking the fish oil helps regulate any affects of taking CLA in regards to insulin resistance. google them together and you'll find a lot of info : )…

Hey! : ) I'm new too... and congrats on the one pound... It's hard! But not impossible.. I have seen some stories of people on here and it's inspirational... I have lost 2 so far but then I was off on my initial weigh in so it is not showing on my results ;( But welcome and I will add you so we can support each other! They…

That is awesome! I'm new to this but obviously I need to do whatever you did!
