Maybe a swimsuit? Though for a guy, I guess shorts is the same thing, LOL.

I just bought one and I'm in LOVE. I got this sexy little stainless model http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000U65G4Y and it's been fabulous. I love the tare button. I put my cereal bowl on the scale, hit tare to return it to zero. Add 28g of cereal, tare it out. Add a serving of nuts, tare it out. Add fruit, tare it out.…

I love cooked chickpeas as a snack. I've heard they're amazing roasted, too. What about raw veggies?

Check out meetup.com for stay at home mom groups in your area. We moved to Las Vegas six weeks before I had my daughter. No family here...no friends...nada. I found an active group of about 75 women and we were able to communicate through a private group message board as well as through planned activities. Just being able…

You do need time for yourself. You will absolutely be an even better Mommy and Wife when your own needs are met. I've been staying home with my daughter for the last five years, and have only recently demanded time to myself. I am so much happier, and enjoy my time with my family even more than I did before. And, I'm…

Getting in the whirlpool and then the steam room for 10 minutes each after working out makes a huge difference for me.

I find my knees get clicky if I'm not dinking enough water...hope you get it figured out.

Second one without a doubt! Gorgeous!!!

A cup of hot green tea really helped me get through the first week of not snacking in the evenings...plus, it revs up your metabolism. Grab a decaf one if you have trouble sleeping and good luck!

Anesthesia will do some wacky things to your body, too. ITA with everyone, your body has been invaded and "looted"...it just needs time to heal and adjust. I have no doubt that you'll drop the excess fluids in no time. Hang in there and take it easy on yourself while you recuperate. :flowerforyou:

Trying drinking lots of water to help flush out the junk. Everyone has bad days...just don't let them derail you. Hang in there!

I'm a long time vegetarian married to a meat eater, too! :happy: Ed's very good about eating whatever I make (as long as it's not lentil loaf). I make his lunches and those are meat based. But, breakfast and dinner are vegetarian if we eat at home. He doesn't care...he was living on ramen and L'il Debbie when we got…

Is it possible that being so close to your goal is freaking you out a little bit? I know that when I'm close to achieving something I've struggled for I sometimes sabotage myself. Especially when it's something that I've worked so long on that I'm not sure how I'll define myself when the battle's over. I don't think you're…

Spaghetti squash. Before I tried it, I was always like "Sure, you can substitute squash for pasta...that sounds delicious *sarcasm*". But, it's TRUE! I love it!

I've been a vegetarian since 1987, and I eat vegan occassionally...sort of the way omnivores have an occassional vegetarian meal. I'm starting to incorporate more vegan meals, simply for the fact that they tend to be more diet friendly. I just bought a fabulous new cookbook by the woman that wrote "Veganomicon". It's…

Rock on! I find if I do the preplanning and then go ahead and prelog tricky situations like that it makes me more inclined to stick with it. I'd really feel bad about deleting my healthy entries and logging junk instead, LOL.
-
Blissful confidence...I can't wait to get back there. It's about not freaking out when someone whips out a camera. It's about running with the kids and not feeling anything move that isn't supposed to. It's about knowing that you're maximizing your chances to see your kids grown and spend as much time as possible with your…

Personally, in my opion, you should devote your calorie allotment to clean foods. 300-600 calories of junk isn't going to nourish your body. I allow occassional treats to keep myself from going off the deep end. But, I think that much everyday is too much, and that your sabotaging your efforts to lose and to keep it off in…

Congratulations!!! That's great...everyone needs that bump of accomplishment sometimes.

I contracted with my hubby to budget in $25 every time I hit a 5 pound lost mark (5, 15, 25, 35, 45) and $50 for every "decade" (10, 20, 30, 40 pounds lost). I want to lose 45 pounds total and $325 is a lot less than I've spent on two attempts with Weight Watchers...and, the money's going in my pocket this time. Plus, I…

I mix a Tablespoon of Orange Juice with 2 Tablespoons of white basalmic vinegar...it's so good!
-
You look amazing! Congratulations!!!
-
Whoops, forgot their Basalmic Vinegar of Modena (little square bottle), it's so good I could drink the stuff. Love their white basalmic to mix with a T of OJ for dressing salads.
-
Love their plain Kefir, the individually wrapped 1oz. portions of goat cheese, the mango butter, they have the BEST nuts...so fresh, great price! Their whole wheat pastas are the best I've had. Great price on quinoa, whole wheat couscous. The frozen brown rice is amazing when you need rice NOW. The canned whole plum…

I have Gretchen Rubin's book on my wishlist on Amazon...thanks for this, great advice!
-
98% of our groceries come from TJ's now. It's not just the food that rocks, the employees are consistently polite, friendly and well-informed. :heart:
-
Rock on! What a great way to start the week.
-
I love the "Handful Packs" from Trader Joe's. They're the perfect emergency snack for my purse, since they don't get pulverized like most bars/a piece of fruit do/does. Love the almond butter from TJ's, too. It's just almonds and sea salt...so good on apple slices!
-
Do you eat tofu? You could blend some silken tofu in with the juice for protein.
-
Exactly what I was going to post. Love the 100 Cal Bars from TJ's and also their little tins of Chocolate Covered Cocoa Nibs. They're about the size of a Tic Tac and 3 to 5 of those are actually enough for me to get a little chocolate hit...but, they're totally not something I'd have any interest in eating the whole pack.
