Oh ok... well that's good then. I thought "Am I not working hard enough???" Ha. I'm a dork! Thanks guys!! :)
-
I definitely want some sexypants. :) Thank you for this!!
-
Thank you for all your tips and help today! Very helpful and informative. I want to try a protein shake but want a high quality one. I was thinking of using hemp protein because it's natural (from what I hear) and easy to digest... thoughts or suggestions?
-
That's kind of how I feel now-- that it's a chore to eat so much. Because I'm making healthier choices, I feel like I have to eat SOOO much just to hit my goal, much less my exercise calories.
-
HELLO, awesome info! Love the pro tip. :)
-
Simply, no. :) Go enjoy yourself in the water-- it feels great.
-
New to the internet? No. New to this site and community? Yes. (Only had used the mobile app before.) I've been reading and reading and reading. I felt a little confused about what I should do-- so I asked what others are doing. It didn't dawn on me to search for my question. Most questions, I'd imagine, are repeat…
-
Some people are incredibly bored I guess.... or just rude in general. :) I'm sure every question asked has been asked before. So yes, I'm AM trying to figure it all out. I didn't realize the "science" that really goes into it, lol. Some of it is a little overwhelming but I do believe I'm catching on. And I do read through…

Hot new clothes and a trip with the hubby! ;) ;)

My husband is 5'10 and his goal is 180. Once he's there he may want to go down to 170-- not sure... but my guess is that you should just start lifting --- not so much losing. And up the calories. I was just talking to my husband about this last night, too. We seem to be on a lower calorie regimen than most so I suggest we…
-
Thank you, ladies. Well, I'll definitely keep a mental note. Maybe I'll compare my weekly weigh ins to my cycle and see, over the course of a month or two, where my gains are. And it's true-- it could totally be something else. I'm trying to pin point what it is so I can address it if need be. If it ends up seeming to be…
-
Looks like I need to invest in a food scale and pick up on some of these tips. Perhaps this is the answer to some of my recent confusion when it comes to my weight.
-
You're right. Thank you. Today I calculated my BMR and my TDEE which I hadn't done before. So I think I'll come up with a different goal based on those numbers. When it comes to what I said about calories-- I'll eat it if it's something healthy like nuts or avocado without feeling guilty. I just need to compile whole meals…
-
Pictures, for sure. More so than the mirror. But also my physical abilities--- things that make me breathe hard.... that shouldn't. I used to be a dancer so I look at today's dancers......and I absolutely hate what I did to myself. :(
-
Thank you, I actually like edamame... just not what they do with it to make other soy products. :)
-
Nice! Thank you, Herblackwings. :) I'll check it out for sure.
-
I do. Ok. So I feel a little dumb for the questions... When you say "buy a turkey breast"-- is it in the meat dept, usually, by the ground turkey?? I don't recall just seeing turkey breasts.... Kinda sounds good, though. :) Thank you. I love what the slow cooker does to meat and you don't have to do much with it. Thank…
-
This site needs a "like" button. :) Or something equivalent. Thank you!! I eat eggs occasionally but could definitely be more creative in using them more often. Looks like I have my work cut out for me--- making some new meal plans for next week. :) The same ol' crap gets old, ya know? Thanks again everyone!! Still need to…
-
Thank you for the suggestions, everyone. :) I appreciate it. I do eat white turkey from time to time. I don't eat lunch meat because I feel like it's overly processed (just like the fast food I was eating a couple weeks ago... I catch my own contradictions). Ground turkey.... seems... strange? I like turkey at…
-
Maybe you need to try a slower approach than the "all or nothing head first" approach. Maybe make a weekly goal and keep adding to your weekly goals. For instance: week 1- drink the amount of ounces your body needs. Week 2- keep drinking the water and add a nightly walk. Week 3- continue week 1 and 2 while also committing…
-
Yes, thank you. I just don't want to eat chicken everyday. :) I'll have to incorporate more beans. I eat raw/unsalted nuts everyday when I snack. Maybe if I didn't have to cook the chicken it would be easier. lol
-
Oh duh! I forgot that quinoa is a great source of protein-- better than some typical sources. :) Thanks for the reminder! I could have google'd too... just thought I'd put it all out there at once.
-
Exactly.
-
I've just been doing water... Last time I quit drinking soda I lasted about 7 or 8 months. But THEN I decided to have some lemonade. When that got old, I chose sprite-- at least it wasn't a dark soda. Eventually I opted for root beer... and right back into coke. Lemonade: it's a gateway drink. Hahaha. I'm going to TRY to…
-
First of all, congratulations on your success. You look great and seem happy! Second, I feel like the story you shared of how you started is me now. I can relate so much and I'm trying to get on the road to the new me.... maybe I should say "old me" since I haven't always been this way. ;) Third, Thank you so much for…
-
Awesome job! Such inspiration... I can't wait to post my before/afters. :)
-
I'm sorry, did you say 12-22?? Sounds like the people you were hanging out with were the eff'd up ones... 12?!? That's just sad.
-
Sorry... Lady chiming in here. :) I don't drink often-- it's just not my thing. Every once in a while I will but I really don't remember the last time I did. I think I had a couple beers a few months ago. Anyway-- girls (or guys) who get SLOPPY drunk are so unattractive. I would assume guys would prefer a sober woman to…
-
Thanks everyone-- just as I assumed. I hadn't considered getting my own heart rate monitor, though. That might help. Yesterday I was at a theme park (took my own food in a cooler, thank you very much lol) so I entered 90 minutes of slow paced walking (although we were there ALL DAY) and it said 411 calories burned for a…

For my daughter's lunch that I pack for her some go to's are left overs from the night before as her school allows them to use a microwave when needed... plus a little salad and/or other sides. Fruit. Veggies. Sandwiches. Sometimes I try to do cute/fun things like fruit/veggie/cheese kabobs... she loves them. If you're a…
