I am sure you are frustrated..but it sounds like you went through a really rough time a few years ago. The positives...you are ALIVE and able to spend a day with your sister! The last few pounds are the hardest to lose (so I've heard). Also, remember that Old Navy is a lower priced clothing store..I shop there too and I…

For our salads we cut up all the goodies (cucumbers, tomato, mushrooms, you name it) and put in small containers for each serving. I use Annie's Naturals salad dressings, they have some very flavorful dressings with low sodium. In each of these containers I put 1 tbsp of the salad dressing and shake it up. I let it sit in…

I don't hate cottage cheese, but it's not one of my favs either. I much prefer greek yogurt. The fat free greek yogurt is lower in calories by a little, lower in carbs, waaaay lower in sodium and has about the same amount of protein. Also, I think that greek yogurt is more versatile. Give that a shot instead and see if you…

I bought a scale that does this as well. It gives me BMI, Water %, and Lean Muscle mass. I bought one with decent reviews (that specifically referenced accuracy). I am now going to a weight loss clinic and they have a super advanced one, and guess what? Mine at home is soooo wrong! It's possible that yours is too I'm…

My trainer said to eat a small snack about 1 1/2 hours before working out, healthy protein/carbs...like 1 slice wholewheat toast and 1 tablespoon peanut butter. This snack should be around 150 calories. If you eat too soon before working out you can get nauseaus, for me 1.5 hours before does the trick. HTH

I never ever ever send food back! I worked in a restaurant once and saw what they do to your food if you send it back. I would rather eat a meal I didn't want, that was improperly prepared than eat BOOT DIRT! But, after everyone else is finished I will ask for the manager and let them know what happened, they always offer…

bump! I need to know this as well!

Of course everyone is different and what works for some won't work for others. MFP recommended about 1800 calories a day for me but I was going over that. So, I set mine at 1200 a day, and when I go over I'm not over the 1800 actually recommended. I try not to eat my burned calories, but i let it provide a nice buffer.…

friend me as well! I'd love some additional friends/support as well!

I'm just loving my elliptical! I struggle with back pain and exercising is very frustrating because I have very limited time to exercise before my back gives out on me. I can handle 20 min on the elliptical without completely dying and so having it in the house means i can exercise twice a day for 20 min. I gave up the…
-
Good morning everyone! So glad to have my elliptical now! Did 20 min this morning and feel great! It's Monday so its back to the grind, lol! Had an awesome weekend, this week will be busy, but have some fun stuff planned so that is good. Had kefir for breakfast, going to have yummy chicken soup for lunch and who knows what…
-
Morning all! Been busy around here last few days! I didn't have to work Thurs and Friday at my "real job" which let me have some time to myself which was nice. Thursday I ended up working at home with my contract job on "overflow" which was nice. Friday I went shopping for our friends baby...went to Once upon a child and…

i went to Nordstroms and bought one by elomi. It was about $70 but it is amazing. It's NOT a compression style, so I don't feel like i can't breath..but I don't move! It was available in store in a 46ddd so that was awesome. I also bought a regular bra from same company at it was about $60. I highly recommend nordstroms…

Way to go Buterphly...I did my first C25k workout on Sunday and i couldnt run for 90 seconds. I guess im in worse shape than a couch potato. Oh well I am sticking with it it will just take me longer than 9 weeks. So I am walking for 30 min on days I don't do bootcamp until I can get better at it. Thanks again to everyone…
-
I make mine with curry (instead of mustard powder) and its fantastic on sandwiches, turkey burgers, etc
-
Ya'll are all so awesome! Thanks so much! We had a harsh conversation over lunch. We were matter of fact and calm while we told her the brutal truth. She took it amazingly well. She says she's getting a restraining order on Monday against him and not letting him come back to her house. Then we got a look at the baby stuff…

LOL @ VT...I was looking in the mirror just yesterday and realized my top fat roll under my boobs had disappeared, but the 2nd fat roll just keeps sliding down a little more each day! LOL But, I can feel the ab muscles underneath the fat rolls so I guess its ok! My husband says my behind looks firmer...but I just think…
-
LOL VT...it's so funny cuz that is EXACTLY what I always say! I live with a family of pigs so I drive them NUTS! My boys are both ADHD so their chaos is just a nightmare for me..and my ocd is a nightmare for them! Atleast its fair! LOL Pretty sore today. Decided NOT to do the bootcamp class this morning because the gym is…
-
awesome job phly! I'm starting couch to 5k Monday! I'm excited!
-
VT! LOL The *ONLY* reason I don't write expiration dates on ours is because with two teenage boys in the house there is NEVER any danger of food spoiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, there's only ever a full fridge for 5 minutes after i get home from a grocery run! LOL My kids call me the "matching queen"..our entire house is Ikea…
-
@VT...lol no I NEVER slow down!!! LOL I am always running and going! LOL But, I wouldn't have it anyother way...and either would my family! They still tease me because if I have too much time on my hands...I alphabetize the kitchen cabinets and give my poor dymo labler a workout! LOL I'm a huge Feta lover...my fav..athenos…
-
LOL @ Reiki....it's so nice to have another giant on the board..and one with a midget husband as well! LOL LOL I'm 6' tall and my husband is 5'7! He's the shortest one in the family...but I am just days away from NOT being the tallest one in the family I am sure of it! My 17 year old son is my height now, and my 14 year…

Dragged my sore body out of bed to be at dentist office this morning...arrived with the son in tow and there is a note on the door..."we're closed today for a staff meeting. We made an attempt to reach our patients, but we are sorry for the inconvenience" WTF!?!?!?!?! So son missed 1st block and I got out of bed for NO…
-
@ VT...lol lol at the doctor! I swore after the nightmare we went through with our last child ( we both nearly died) that my last visit to a doctor would be my 6 week checkup and low and behold I have kept that promise! He turns 15 in April! So, no my doctor does not know..but its always been this way. And, it does all…
-
@VT...yes unfortunately this is normal for me! UGH! It's awful! I am gaining muscle which is part of it...i've gone from 94.3 pounds of lean body mass to 100.9 pounds in a week! But, I have also gone from an average of 43% water to 48%! See, mother nature DOES hate me! Everyone laughs at me...but I am SOOO throwing the…
-
RTL and VT..thanks so much for the well wishes! LOL As you see more of my posts you'll learn that my life is always this hectic! I am a small business owner, so it means I am ALWAYS working! But, I love it! And, it gives me a flexibility I'd never have in a 'real job"...both my sons have ongoing medical issues so I need to…
-
Good morning all! I am super sore today! Boot Camp class last night was a killer. And, I woke up at 3:30am this morning..ugh! I have a long day today...have to go to the office early and have a conference call with my CFO in germany, then my son has a consult with an oral surgeon to have 7 teeth extract for his braces,…

Good Morning! Well...I am really feeling the pain today! Not looking forward to the boot camp class tonight, but I am going to go! Everyone have an awesome day!
