I would look for consignment shops that "buy" used clothing as well. Alot of times they will give you more in "store credit". I've had a rulle for a long time now, I don't buy anything over $20, except shoes:bigsmile: I shop at TJ Maxx and Marshall's and get a lot of name brand stuff for very little. There is also an…

Sometimes when I'm pressewd for time and I know I can't get a run in the morning I'll do circuit training. It is resistance w/some weights and moving quickly from one exercise to another. It gets your heartrate up and i am dripping with sweat when I get finished. You could google circuit routines to get some ideas. I'm so…

I think the same way I accidentally eat a hershey's bar w/almonds:laugh:

AAHH! That's the problem then:smile: :laugh: :smile: :laugh:

It sure is!!! But I'm so glad I'm on this side of it now. Quitting smoking is the 3rd best thing I've done in my life(The first 2 are each of my kids:smile: )

I used to be a smoker. I loved my marlboro ultra lights. I quit in Februray. I haven't missed it. I try not to be one of those "holier than thou" reformed smoker types, b/c I know the affair with the nicotine and had difficult it is for most people to give them up. Today something happened that I got a giggle out of. I…

I've been thinking about trying this, except putting it the blender w/ some ice???? I don't know if it would work though? I'm kind of hoping it would be like a smoothie consistency.:smile:

My whoel reasonong for the posts was to point out that the BMI is just another silly number, like the number on the scale, body fat% numbers(which are not always accurate) or the number inside your jeans.They are SILLY!!!! I honestly believe that taking measurements w/a tape measure is a more healthy and a suitable way to…

Had this for dinner last night. Put it in a soft tortilla w/cut up cooked chicken and a little sour cream(I had the extra calories to spare)Yummy!!!! (Come to think of it I had it for lunch too as a side:laugh: )

easy, simple, alcohol-sign me up:laugh:

What do you substitute the fanta lemon with? i didn't even know fanta made lemon:smile: this sounds yummy

Maybe you could start off walking first, brisk to fast walking, to build up your endurance, to get you used to being out and moving. I prefer to run outdoors, when it's too cold I go to my gym and do elliptical, stairstepper and only 1-2 miles on the treadmill or indoor track. If there is an outdoor track where you live,…

Everyone loses different amounts in different places. Guess it's genetics.:grumble: I do know you can not "target" an area with spot training. Situps are good to work your core. Your core is your abs,obliques,transverse abdominis,lower back. You can google core exercises to give you some other things to do. Because your…

The 2 times I was on steroids i gained weight. I'm not sure what they scientific reason is for it. The fact that you are back on track after an illness is great. Make sure you are fully recouped and the dr has ok'd you being able to resume your exercise plan. Drink plenty of water too. You know it works b/c you lost 7 lbs…

Sweet, I'm going to go eat to regulate my blood sugar in about 30 minutes!!!! You are so smart girly!!!!:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

And the master arrives:laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: Thank goodness you came and put it in a way that made much more sense than me:blushing: :bigsmile:

"The BMI (body mass index) numbers are NOT percentages of body fat. For example, a BMI of 29 is in the overweight range for women. This has nothing to do with 29 percent body fat, which is considered healthy. There are quite a few groups of people for whom BMI is not as accurate –- short women and muscular people, to name…

Now I posted it b/c really bmi is not a good indicator of anything. When I did mine my "range was within a 40 lb. difference. Even if someone has more to lose, a pound is a pound is a pound. To lose 1 lb a week you need to try and create a 500 calorie a day deficit with diet and or exercise(500x7=3500, 3500= 1 pound, for a…

Ok my friend, Check this out, these are bmi calculations for celebrities and sports people(The Rock OBESE?!?! I don't think so): Barry Bonds: 6'2": 228 lbs: 29 David Boreanaz: 6'2": 218 lbs: 28 Tom Brady: 6'4": 225 lbs: 27 President Bush: 5'11": 191 lbs: 26 Nic Cage: 6'1": 210 lbs: 28 George Clooney: 5'11": 211 lbs: 29 Tom…

UH, Bedtime:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I eat 6 meals a day, so after dinner I get more food(HipHipHooray for food!:tongue: ) I stay within my alotted calories though. I think as long as you burn more than you consume you can eat whenever, i think the no eating after 7 is more of a mental thing, but I'm no dietician:happy:

I looked at your profile, it saysyou've lost 15(WOOHOO:drinker: ) and that you have 15 to go. If you are down to your last 10-15 I think it's harder to lose, there are posts on here about that, I'm sorry I don't know what they are titled, maybe someone can help out with that???:smile: I had less than 15 to lose when I came…

Whrn I started running again after a very long absence, a decade plus:tongue: , I would run for 2 minutes and walk for 2 minutes on a treadmill or if I wanted to be outside i went to thetrack at the high school near my house(I drove there:happy: ) and I'd run the straight parts and walk the curves for at least 30 minutes.…

Someone once told me this:"You can either be the life of the party or have a life". Meaning, although you are 21 and it seems like EVERYONE around you is drinking, it doesn't mean you have to. I drank so much in my twenties I'm surprised I'm not pickled. I think if you decide to make a lifestyle change instead of just…

Well, maybe just stick a spoon in the peanut butter and hand it to him:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I run first thing in the morning, so I don't eat breakfast until I'm finished. I have found if I eat before I run I get side stitches-BAD. I drink some H2O when I first wake up, then I get the kids ready for school, etc. I find this gives me enough time to get hydrated w/out sloshing around all over the place. On days I…

When my kids were around your kids ages and they were running wild late at night I would put them in the car in their jammies with their blankies and we went on a jammie ride. I'd get on the highway and drive until they were almost asleep and then I'd turn around, they'd be asleep when I got home and I'd sccop them out of…

Was the pudding already made and then did you add the milk and whipping cream? It sounds like it made it kind of mousse like????

I try to run everyday. I love the New Balance commercial that talks about running and how it's a love/hate relationship. That's me, I hate the ritual of preparing myself to run, yet once I get out there I'm good, then half way thru I hate it want it to be over with, then I'm loving it thinking I've already done over 2…

Maybe it's because I'm closer to Arkansas, where the Wal-Mart headquarters are located *banjo starts strumming "Duelling Banjos"*:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Brownies are like my kryptonite!!! Cutting them smaller only means I eat MORE!!!!:laugh: I can't make them b/c they are gone in 2 days. Last time I made them I woke up the next day and wondered why half the pan was gone, it wasn't the kids, I had made them after 8 and they were already in bed!!!!! It was ME!!! I had eaten…
