I'm an excellent baker so when I do bake, I head to MFP to break down the recipe for nutritional value. There's only hubby & I at home so having baking around is not good. I will bring most of it to work. I love a good cupcake. They are hard to find here so I don't make any pit stops (thank goodness). I could probably eat…

Greetings from Canada :) I started my health journey on April 23 and it's exactly 2 months today and I have lost 8 lbs. I am very proud of myself. I have started going to the gym more regularly over the last couple weeks. There's also a gym at work. M&W I do a half hour on the elliptical on my lunch hour, and I want to get…

I use a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of frozen pineapple, 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 1.5 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk - it has the consistency of frozen yogurt and is absolutely delicious. Now and then I'll add 35g of frozen avocado. The vanilla protein powder is so versatile you can add anything…

My husband is a self proclaimed chocolate monster. I buy him chocolate and store it in the pantry. It's there in plain sight when I need something from the same shelf its sitting on. But I tend to not like the same things he likes so it's very easy for me to back away from the chocolate. He doesn't like candy and I'm not a…

I love to bake. When I do bake, I make sure I bake items that fit within my health journey :) I will bring the healthy treats to work and share. People get excited when I bring things to work because they know I bring healthy, yummy, homemade goodies. I choose to walk away from the tim hortons donuts that people bring in…

Well, here's me being a Debbie downer but microwave popcorn is awful for you. I bought an air popper at Value Village, cleaned it out really well and we make popcorn with the air popper :) Much healthier :)

I'm in Canada and last night, I bought Peanut Butter Fudge Pops at Superstore. They are 100 calories per pop and I think, 11g of sugar. Yes, I know the sugar is high. I had enough wiggle room in my tracking to allow a pop last night and my oh my it was delicious !!!! There are lots of other flavours too. I think I might…

I was thinking the exact same thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF did it mean? hahahahaha now I know

What keeps me motivated is that at 42, I look pretty dam good :) My skin looks better than it did in my 20's and I'm feeling really good. I have a ways to go in my weight loss but I'm having a good time (most days) on my journey and my husband is a HUGE support !!! He tells me every day how beautiful and sexy I am and when…

I am my own strong woman and I choose what I eat. I won't allow anyone to be a saboteur to my awesome health journey. Here's to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! *raises my mug of peppermint tea*

I have a Venti sized cup by my sink at home so when I'm putting on my make up in the morning, I sip to the 1 cup level. Then, on my way out the door, I make sure I have my 2 cup travel mug and drink that water on my drive to work (about 20 minutes). Once I get to work, I'll mix some lemon water with regular water in a 3…

Personally, I stay away from anything that says "sugar free", "fat free", "diet"...a lot of the time, they hike up the sodium to replace whatever it is they are taking out. I have learned when packages says "sugar free", more times than not, they are replacing the sugar with sucralose, aspartame and other nasty stuff like…

I always log my exercise. It's a great way for me to see how well I'm doing :) I like my personal kudos. I don't always eat back my exercise calories but if I'm feeling peckish at 8pm, I'm going to have a few crackers & pb so I'm not pigging out on something else. Just me :)

People are such dicks sometimes. My husband would have punched the guy in the mouth. As for my "aha" moment...I don't know that I really had one. I just decided it was time to get healthy and feel good for me. Screw what anyone says :)

Happily married lady here :) would love more friends to chat with !!! Send me a request if you'd like :)

Holy moly !!!! That is a lot of alcohol consumed...one guy consumed over 3000 calories in alcohol alone in 1 night...zoinks

As am I...quiet afternoon at work = watching Secret Eater.

I have never heard of this show (I live in Canada) and saw the heading while I was searching the Community boards. I'm on You Tube right now watching the very first episode. I like what the host had to say...you have to be honest with yourself about what you are eating !!! That is so very true. There are times when I don't…

I LOVE fruit !!! When I started back on my journey on April 23/16, I was so down when my sugar ended up to be a negative but 9 times out of 10, it was because I was eating fruit and not pigging out on chocolate bars :) I don't mind my sugar being a negative number now because I'm still doing great, I'm losing weight and…

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use to take pictures every week and got quite discouraged. I love your idea about taking pics once a month or after every 10 lbs lost :)

Girl !!! You inspired me very much as I read this !! You seem like a really great person. Being on a health journey is never easy and it's always so great to have that back up from people that get it :) I'd love to be able to chat with you throughout our journey. Please add me if you'd like :) Anyone on this thread :) I'm…

Keep up the great work :)

I don't even know you but I'm in tears right now. So happy for you !!! You worked so hard !!!!!!!!!!! You look great and you must feel amazing !!! Walk head held high sweety !!! You deserve it.

I drink 10-15 cups per day :) that seems to work for me :) It's hard not to do the pee dance at work when I'm waiting for someone to watch the phone while I dance down the hall !!

Weighing peanut butter !!!! Holy hell...that didn't even cross my mind !!! I better start doing that ;)

You got it synchkat !!! Canadians ROCK !!!

LOL I have no idea why it's like that :) I'm the right way when I saved it...maybe work is making me loopy today LOL
