Non-Scale Victory :bigsmile: And thanks everyone! I feel great!

I don't make two dinners, and I'm not going to stop making my husband food that he loves. I just pick and choose which parts of supper I eat. For example when I make mashed potatoes I take mine out before I add the butter and milk, I cook my chicken without bbq sauce, I have my burger on salad instead of on a bun. I do…

I don't think too much about how I divide my calories, and there's probably a better way. Usually it ends up being: 100-200 breakfast 100 snack 300-400 lunch 100 snack 400 supper 100-300 dessert I like ice cream :laugh:

Ick! They didn't start carrying these where I live (Maine) until hostess went out of business. I bought some and they taste like cardboard. They're dry and bland! And now I learn they come from the state of Pennsylvania! When I lived in PA a few years ago we would go to the farmer's market every week for the Amish sticky…

I like pigtails on a lazy day. I used to wear them all the time to work when I worked retail. That's how I got the nickname Pippy :bigsmile:

Unfortunately it's a teeny tiny doctor's office. I did walk down to the coffee shop to get a sandwich for lunch today, but that probably doesn't really count.

Helpful tips, thanks. I would not have thought to change my undies, I bet that makes a huge difference. We're not allowed to use any scented products at my job. I'm a phlebotomist (I draw blood) So I'm always bending over people and getting pretty close to them to get the blood. I'm worried it might be too noticeable. But…

I work out in the evening after the kids are in bed. I've always been a morning person and it took some getting used to, but it was worth it. And I found that now that I'm doing regular exercise I have a lot more energy throughout the day. Does she take a nap? Or you could involve her in some way. Set her in a bouncy chair…

So rude! You can't see the word vomit without getting sick? The OP had a real concern and she's not feeling well, cut her some slack. Back on topic, I wouldn't worry about calories today, just do what you need to do to feel better. If you're really feeling sick you probably won't be hungry enough to go over anyway. Feel…

Thank you everyone. I knew I had to add some strength training, I was just in denial. For some reason I'm not looking forward to it. I'm going to check out the "you are your own gym" thing.

That's fantastic!

I tried weight watchers, and I like this so much better. It doesn't make sense to me. Calories are already posted on everything we eat for free, so we pay weight watchers to come up with a system to replace calories. It just seems more confusing than necessary. The community here is really great too.

I was pretty close picking my size. But it told me I'm a pear! I always thought I was an apple.

arms

yes :)

9.5

Probably :)

Yes

Way to go!!!! My first one is in 3 weeks, and I'm scared to death :)

I like the stubble :c)

I'm gonna have to google warrior dash, that sounds exciting. I'm thinking about doing the Spartan race next year.

Thanks everyone! I feel so much better about it now. I was starting have visions of everyone else waiting for me to be the last one to cross the finish line. I drove around the route yesterday and it's mostly downhill, or at least flat. Right now I'm running up a pretty good size hill, so I think that will help. I'm gonna…

Thank you so much! That's a big help. It's an evening race 6:35 pm. So I wasn't sure if I should eat supper or not. The kids have to eat before we go.

You deserve attention for that! Great job!

It might help if you open up your diary so we can see. Are you counting calories? Did you give up meat just for weight loss, or for another reason? Protein can really help keep you full and energized. What sort of workout are you doing?

. I like foofa better, I might start calling mine that.

You're probably right, I'm afraid it will hurt. But I'll try to exfoliate when I get home.

Right now I just run, but I plan on adding in something else this winter when I can't get outside. I'm thinking about the power 90 workout. What is yours?

Thanks everyone, lots of good suggestions here. I'm going to the grocery store after work today to see what they carry. I'd really like to try making shakes, but I just don't want to drag out my blender every morning. I used to have a boiled egg every morning but a stupid fox ate my chickens. We got new chickens but it…
