Being a military wife does not MAKE you over weight. It does give us added stress which makes it easier to blame our over eating/crappy habits on something other than ourselves. At the end of the day tho we chose to eat those things and chose not to work out in our living room because the gym on base doesn't have…

THIS And I hate chafing...as long as they don't chafe I'm good.

Mainly replying to bump the post but a few things I have seen recommended in the past: Change up your diet (if you mainly eat chicken and veggies try subbing in some steak and fruit) Up your calories & exercise level Just keep with it and eventually you will break through Change up your exercises, if you do mainly cardio…

Thanks! That was kind of my thinking, thus the reason I didn't want to ask one of the 10 people on my FB list currently pushing the stuff about it but I also know that sometimes (rarely) the gimicky things are good so thought I should at least find out what it is before I start judging.

MFP will send you a notification if you receive an invite I think it shows up under requests.

Bump in case anyone can help me?

Love Love Love Pollan's books, had to read Omnivore's Dilemma for a class and can't help but constantly think about where the food I am eating came from.

What a great challenge! I think we all need this :)

I would assume the classes are mainly wives because they are all in the middle of the day here too, I go to the gym at 5-5:30am though so I'm there right at the peak of AD people getting in their PT. It's no where near as intimidating as I expected though, especially since just like every other gym there are plenty of "gym…

This is amazing....

This is awesome! Way to go everyone :)

Are you counting the calories from the shake in your daily count? If not that could be your problem I use them before workouts so that I am not starving after since I work out in the morning and don't want to eat something heavy. As my husband says they are a snack/meal replacement not an extra snack/meal.

celery, carrots, plain, bananas, apples, I have a friend who puts it in her yogurt, I sometimes add a little bit of peanut butter to ice cream when I'm really craving something sweet to give it a healthy edge, I'm sure you could do the same w/sunflower butter.

I had a great weekend and did ok staying on track. Did visit my favorite sushi buffet with husband last night :/ so I know I ate more than I should but I did a good job of sticking with healthier options and ate less than I normally do. Scale this morning was in the same place it was on Friday so that's a plus. bcdpearce:…

I log it, and if I don't remember what I had I log it as a custom food under "too much" or "Binge" and type in an obscene amount of calories just so I have a record of when it happens.

bump I'm going to need this next month...We were thinking fruit salad, maybe angel food cake.

Glad I'm not the only one who weighs on Fridays! :)

Count me in! Surely my computer will be back up and running by next month!

1 liter = 4.2 cups 1.5 liters = 6.3 cups (just under RDA) 3 liters = 12.7 cups (AWESOME!!) Good Luck!

Just to give everyone some ideas, if you already drink enough water to pass on the mini challenge like I do, I am going to challenge myself to hit my RDA for calcium (something I am always way short on) I figure it is still a necessary nutrient like water and fills the same purpose as challenging a non-water drinker to…

I can't post my picture, home computer crashed :( and can't access any sites that will host the photos from work, but I did lose 1 inch so i count that as a win. :)

This may be the best weight loss analogy I have ever heard....

Chewing gum has made me stop. I tend to bite them when I'm bored or thinking so as soon as I notice I'm biting them I pop in some gum. Haven't had to in about 2 weeks now though.

clear liquor and diet mixer is your best option at very least clear liquor and oj Avoid cranberry juice at bars because it is usually cranberry cocktail which is higher in sugar. dark liquors are generally higher in calories and some studies show that they can cause worse dehydration/hangover effects due to the aging…

Talk to your doc, there are different types of pills, if this one is making you feel sick you need to switch types. On the weight gain side, I was on the pill from the time I was 16-26 with the exception of about 2 years in college for other girly problems. When I went off the pill in college I did not lose weight, when I…

I used to use it all of the time, I haven't been baking as much lately but I usually would do a 50/50 split between it and regular flour or wheat flour for baking, if it wasn't something that needs to rise I just use it straight.

I use this one too, I don't know about the others but this one uses GPS so you can track how far you've gone and it's really accurate.
