  • I can't say for sure, but this was what I attributed to never losing any weight while on the depo for 3 years. I was exercising my tail off and trying my best to eat within reason, but I was always so hungry. It messed up my system big time, and my doctor told me it could take 18 mos before it was fully out of my system. I…
  • This happened about an hour and a half from me. DUMB!
  • I actually put in 2 tbsp of creamer and 2 packets of splenda with fiber and it tends to work for me. Sometimes I'll throw in a splash of milk. It's worth it for me in the mornings and I only have one cup.
  • Love mine! Only cons are that unless you upgrade, you have to log onto their website to get your calories and such. It was expensive to begin with, so I didn't opt for the more expensive option. It is a monthly subscription, but I do feel it's worth the 60 bucks a year.
  • Thanks. Not the way I would have liked to spend my summer, but I guess as a teacher, better now than during the school year. I'm on week 8 today and at least 3 weeks no weight bearing yet. At least I'm entertained!
  • Lol well I'll give you that!
  • Oh Lord, I think I just lost brain cells reading this whole thing. It's a good thing I have a broken ankle and nothing better to do. Yikes. I'd say get a life and quit trolling, but I read the whole darn thing so I guess I'm just as bad.
  • You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for all your ideas, suggestions, and encouragement. I am going to look into as much of these as I can. Crutches are hard for me the way it is, so i will probably just use them as needed and not for any exercise, but I think you are all right...I need to focus on my core and upper…
  • Don't be sorry! I feel like I'm in a funk as well. A huge one. I've been exercising and I've learned a lot from this challenge, but I'm far from excelling at it. It's been an eye opener, and I'm hoping it is a good tool for me from here on out to just pay attention to the sugar going into my body. If nothing else was…
  • I'm sorry that you're going through this. I myself don't know what it feels like to have an ED, but have helped friends who have. Have you ever thought of seeing someone that could maybe walk you along the steps to recovery? It took my good friend lots of support from family and friends in addition to someone who didn't…
  • You did get a lot of miles in Tami! Nice job! I have to get my 2 mile run in here today sometime. I was going to go yesterday and we had 50 mph winds so it was not happening. I did my zumba, but didn't get in my double. Today is a new day. It starts a new week and I plan on being good! Nice work mattysmom. I would have a…
  • That's amazing! I couldn't have done it!
  • Damn cupcake. Thatisall.
  • Easter break was crazy busy, so I didn't do much other than log on and log my food and exercise. I hadn't been seeing your topics show up for daily totals. I always had the intention of coming back to check in, but something else always got in the way. Staying at 25 has been hard, I'm not going to lie, but I'm very proud…
  • I actually did alright today. I didn't even touch the dessert table, drank only water and limited my trips to the potluck to ONCE. Very good for me. However, a supper of doritos and salsa is something to be desired. My totals are probably very inaccurate but I logged something. Calories- 879 protein- 14 Sugars- 30 Fiber…
  • Oh Tam for sure! I can't imagine watching my baby's heart break like that. I hope she's better!!
  • Thanks Tami! You had a rough day. I hope Jake's gf is doing better. Happy Easter. Love you too!
  • There is a lot to resist. I went to DQ today with my hubby and managed to resist a blizzard and get a kids dish of soft serve instead. AND I shared it with my two year old. Score. It's the little things in life!
  • Calories- 1082 Protein-66 Sugar-34 Fiber-15 Sodium- 2562 Carbs-133 I'm having a problem finding food to eat without sugar. I'm not eating enough. It's not a good thing. :( I'm starving. I think I might not count fruit into my totals. 8 glasses of water. I ran a mile and a half.
  • I posted this yesterday on the wrong one so here you go! Sorry I didn't post Monday! Life is chaotic. I'm not going to post everything from Monday, but I was at 32 for sugar. I couldn't eat supper which was weird, but I was NOT hungry. So by the time 9 rolled around, I was panicking. I hadn't had fruit all day where i…

  • Thanks guys! Keep the advice coming!
  • I have the app, but I primarily use the site. It's nice when I'm gone and can log my food from elsewhere, but when I'm near a computer, I always prefer it!
  • I still have been doing my 5 AM walks on M-W-F, and I will probably do that until my long john underwear doesn't cut it anymore. I also take a zumba class 2-3 days a week and I do a Bodypump class 1x a week. If my walks become nixed because of the weather, I'll probably try running on the treadmill again for awhile. I also…
  • hi Everyone! I'm from Hospers, a podunk town of about 650 people about an hour north of Sioux City on the NW side of Iowa! Hawkeye fan over here!! :)
