You can get containers that keep your veggies fresh (I have tupperware) and it really extends the life of the produce, aside from that it's hard to keep fruit and veggies fresh for two weeks, anyway you could get all your staples and then just get the produce you need every few days?

I am also lazy, I exercise while watching TV, commercial breaks = great time to exercise. I am also goal oriented, and need to have some sort of challenge for myself, there's not real reward for me other than completing them, but keeps me motivated. For instance I've jut started to do 30 minutes of working out for 30 days…

Me, mostly just trying to get myself healthy again. I had two miscarriages within 4 months of each other, the second being ecotopic, I had to have these really nasty needles and they completely threw my body out of wack, I gained about 20 pounds in 2 months so am trying to get back to normal. Here's hoping that third time…

I was gloves, because the bar I got online is pretty crappy. (waiting until I get higher in weights to get a better bar). However I have tiny little girl hands and have a hard time holding the bar for squats (for everything else I'm fine, go figure.

I usually use chicken breast, put some low fat mayo on it (just a little to cover it) and some Panko Breadcrumbs with some seasoning. It tastes very good. Throw some cheese on it and you're good to go.

It was lots of fun!, We basically had people donate money for their picture to be taken with people with Star Wars, people were extremely generous which is nice to see.

Turns out I am going, volunteering at one of the booths for a charity I work with.

I went cross country skiing once when I was in high school on an exchange trip, my 300 pound teacher fell on me and hurt my back lmao.

It's very true the more you move the more you feel better, also make sure to try to get as much sleep as possible. As far as excersies that are good, try getting into a pool. I don't know why but a nice hot bath with epsom salts really helps if I'm super sore, it's so easy to stay in bed when it's flaring up but the best…

Just brought out my fleece blankets, it's happening :( My friend is forcing me to try snowshoeing this winter, my only requirement is that I am allowed to bring booze to mae it better :)

I think you and your significant other are the only people who know whether you should or should not have kids. Everyone else just has an opinion. Just look into your heart and think about it for a few months and you'll figure it out. Don't let anyone pressure you to either have or not have kids, you'll wind up regretting…

Welcome! I'm a newbie too, had just gotten started for a week or so and now restarting tomorrow night :)

Thinking about going, some decent guests!

here goes! I'm Erin, 28 years old, Live in Edmonton Alberta. Married to the man of my dreams 5 years this December, we've known each other since I was 15 and he was 14, he dated a friend of mine and I remember saying to her "I hope the man I marry is exactly like him"!!!.. Have two cats, Margaret Thatcher and Winston…

do 5 push-ups. Right now I can't even do one. attempt to intake more water weight 2 times a week, and cardio 1 or 2 times Compliment myself once a day!

Tha'ts me! I'm 5'8 CW 173 GW 140ish ( I actually have no idea, the only time I made it beneath 150 was because I was extremly sick and couldn't eat) I was 153 in May, so yeah, gaining 20 pounds is 3 month, not exactly thrilled about it. I'm pretty sure it's mostly stress causing it, but giving it another 6 weeks to see if…

Yep! My bootie gets in the way, I've managed to find jeans i like, however cannot find for the life of me a pair of running pants that I like, and I hate shorts. When I'm running the butt just kind of tries to jiggle them off, lol, I spend half my time trying to hike them up. What I hate most about it, is the hips that go…

3rd time last night Squats 5*5 50 pds (22.5 dumbells), hoping to switch over to bar soon Bench press 5*5 at 45 (just the bar)....... I am beyond thrilled at this, I even did a little happy dance when I got home, but than my legs hurt from the squats so it was fairly pathetic. lol! My first try, could barely lift the bar at…

So I didn't do anything today, it's my rest day. But my butt/thighs hurt like no ones business, I am hoping they feel better tomorrow. I'm taking some ibprofin and than an epsom salt bath to see if that calms them down. Today they started spasming out of nowhere, I'm thinking it's because I work from home and don't move…

It actually depends what time of day I go, mid afternoon or late evening, LOVE the gym. I've recently started doing weight training and although it's mostly guys there, these ones are helpful and super supportive. Even though I'm at a very low starting point, they respect me just for trying. Evenings from 5-9ish suck, the…

I have two, one on my shoulder, it's a gerber daisy with swirls, hard to explain but I LOVE it, one larger one on my side, with two butterflies, I like the look of it, but want to tinker with it a bit to make it a little prettier. Have plans for a few new ones, 1st will probably get this Dec is an old style Mickey and…

My husband tells me it's the same for men, and is highly annoying. I have a pair of size 8, and a pair of size 16, they fit identically. WTF , even if I go to try one a pair of pants based on wasit size, it can go between 30 and 34, mostly depends on how the hips/butt area is, I was "gifted" with a generous sized booty,…

You did awesome! I'm a newbie too, I think you and I started on the same day or so. My quads hurt like ................lots of swear words inserted here. I thought I used to do squats before, never did I squat has deep as I'm doing now, I couldn't do anything for two days after my first night, because it just hurt sooo bad…

2nd time today, work out B. Went way better than my first day. Although I did use dumb-bells, next time I'm going to try the bar, the hubby has decided to join me, so I'm slightly less intimidated, and we'll go to the gym when there are less people in there so we can actually use the equipment. Squats- 40 pounds 5*5 + a…

I was using the treadmill a while back, buddy comes on the treadmill, first off smells bad. I'm okay with smelling like you've been working out, but MAJOR B.O , than he let out a MASSIVE fart.............I had to get off my treadmill it smelt so bad. Aside from that , badly equipped gyms.

I just started the program as well, but I do remember reading that it should be done in order of the program.

So sorry for your loss, it's really tough. I've had two miscarriages, one at 7 weeks and the second was an ectopic found at about 6 weeks. It's a fairly brutal thing to go through. But a miscarriage does not at all dictate that next time wont' work for you. After my first it took about 4 months to get pregnant again, but I…

I've since changed it and upped to 1700 , I had it set to 1.5 a week, but now it's lower to .5. I am also eating back my excerise points, however am starting weight training so will probably be upping the calories quite a bit more to make sure I am eating a healthy amount to build muscle. I am not looking for a short term…

I love this thred! I moved from NS to Edmonton last year, and work from home, so I know next to nothing about the city, great ideas for doing stuff! Best winter activity ?

Anyone know of a decent one for weights in the North. I have a pass to Londonderry rec but HATE it, no air-condtionning, not enough equipment for the amount of people who go. Not overly looking to get a contract but would do it if the gym was right, looking to get into weights but am pretty much a weakling so am starting…
