  • I can just imagine the tone that was taken with that as well. :( Now had he/she said "I love you just the way that you are, but if you're not happy, then you should work towards making YOU happy" that'd be different. The response you received sounded more to me like "that's YOUR issue, not mine." I'm sorry for that too -…
  • My husbands has always been extremely loving towards me regardless of my size. I had an issue with my size, not him. However, after 100 lbs lost, he can't keep his hands off of me. But I don't attribute that to my weight but more so because I purposefully entice him more and allow him to get handsy. Any time he would try…
  • You're eating for two so your calorie count should take that into consideration. Even sitting around, breastfeeding will "help" you drop weight quickly, even sitting around! I had to have a c-section with my youngest so there was a lot of sitting due to recovery and due to the fact that I just wanted to snuggle my little…
  • I actually use both ricotta and cottage chese in my baked ziti!
  • I like my cottage plain with paprika sprinkled on top. Black pepper works too. I hear doritos is making a wave a 'tasty' additive to cottage cheese. :s
  • I use Isopure Unflavored Protein powder which I use in a lot of things, protein shakes, pancakes, mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes, etc. I have a hard time with flavored protein as I quickly develop an aversion to the flavors that I try and like at first. So I opted for the unflavored and have been using it for about a year…
  • Total Knockout Front-Close Sports Bra by Victoria Sport/Victoria's Secret. I love it!
  • @jcavanna2 one thing that I HIGHLY recommend is kinesiology tape, specifically Rock Tape. It can help get the blood flowing and aid in recovery. It's been a blessing for my groin strain and I recently taped my daughter's knee to help finally and completely heal an injury she sustained back in October. Her knee looks better…
  • I'm 37, and I've lost 99 lbs since last March. I love to run and will keep my running shoes in my Jeep for any chance I can get to go run. I still have about 25 lbs that I'd like to lose, which is my goal for this year. Feel free to add me!
  • Notice though, that he specifically referenced "Upper 30's"? I'm 38 this year and unfortunately it's not to far off, if not dead on the money, of being considered "middle-aged". I called my husband "middle-aged" the other day and he shot me a look that could've burned my soul... "Hey pally, you're almost 42, own it. You're…
  • No, no, no... I'm talking about any kind of chicken on the bone... warm or cold... it's slimy and icky and I won't touch it. lol. :s I don't eat any chicken on the bone for the same reasons... I find it slimy. I only deal with boneless, skinless chicken. I tried pulling chicken from a fresh rotisserie for a recipe and…
  • 4 - Don't buy it at all... it's slimy and icky and triggers my gag reflex just thinking about touching it. It should trigger yours too toots! :s
  • I wish people knew that it's not magic. It requires hard work and dedication. If you stop working, the weight-loss will stop as well. The first year is the hardest for food as your new stomach is so sensitive, but it's also the most essential and the easiest time to develop good habits. I have had a couple of time where…
  • I use a non-stick pan so that you don't need to use anything. However, if I'm looking for added flavor, I might use a spray butter or spray olive oil - not Pam though.
  • Go to your Fitbit app and manually sync it by pulling down on the page. You should see it start to sync. Your Fitbit will ALWAYS be more accurate than MFP because it's literally calculating off of your own actual HR.
  • Pina Colada Green Smoothie *1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in 100% juice) *1 banana 1 cup fresh baby spinach 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk 1/4 cup ice 2 tsp raw honey (optional) 1. Add * pineapple & banana to ziploc bag (do not add the spinach - the citric acid from the pineapple can take away some of the…
  • She does look pretty ripped! #ArmEnvy :o I like your Fabulousss tabby though! B)
  • I wear mine for things like Zumba, P90X, Insanity or just personal circuits created by my trainer - things like that and it tracks it just fine. I think it actually tracks it more accurately because something like MFP is only going to track the specific amount of time you spent doing the exercise, not taking into account…
  • My pant/dress size is now a single digit! I had to replace all of my work pants, again. I replace every 2 sizes - this is my 3rd time replacing clothes since last May/June. I went from an 18/20 (March) to now I'm comfortably wearing an 8!
  • Wear a fitness tracker and that solves everything. :) It'll be the most accurate assessment of how many calories you've burned and will sync to MFP automatically.
  • I'm not saying it's magic, but combined with my diet and exercise routine, it's been helpful. I can see a difference from not using. I just know that what I've been doing with my Certified Trainer has been working, that's all. I have had overall fat loss. I wasn't necessarily trying to say that you can "target" fat loss,…
  • Squats! I've seen great progress in my thighs by performing a VARIETY of squats and abductor exercises. I also take an all natural CLA (approved by my doctor) that aids in fat loss and lean muscle building. Combine that with cardio such as running, incline walking or a bike and you're golden. Just make sure that you're…
  • How is there not? There absolutely is people who are naturally thin within putting any effort into it. It's scientifically proven. It's called a high metabolism. Some people are gifted.
  • No it's not true. There are plenty of naturally thin people who eat like crap, they just have higher metabolisms. There are others that do eat healthy. There are others that simply eat to nourish, rather than for enjoyment. Bottom line - EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.
  • Okay, my trainer has me do this. I thought that's what it was, but I didn't want to sound like a buffoon and assume. Thanks for the reply! :wink:
  • Age restrictions? I've never heard of that before.
  • I'll join... for what's left of it! I've got Titos & soda coming to visit on Saturday along with some diet cranberry so...
  • Absolutely true... name too! Has been given the wrong number by someone else
