Heard it on one of the weight loss shows on tv that skipping breakfast is considered "Sumo Wrestler's diet" because by just skipping breakfast, it sends a message to your body to store fat. That is how sumo wrestler get successful in getting that big. Tell him that and maybe he'll reconsider eating breakfast. It also lit a…

I love this post! I cannot wait for onderland also.

My husband LOVES to fart and it irritates me so much! Whenever I get a day where I am feeling gassy, I get sooo excited and I'd fart around him and when he complains, I'd say " that's number 38 to your 1,546,780th fart!" A lot of those 38 happened while I was pregnant both times. Once, we were in the car with both kids…

I've tried different exercises and noticed the one that I could do better at considering my size are the Leslie Sansone "Walk at home" DVD's, and water aerobics. I just started doing water aerobics last week and am loving it! I know that youtube will show some exercises you can do in the water. The exercises works a lot of…

Bump, I want to know also! I had 2 c sections.

Wow! It sure is a honor to have a personal trainer rooting for you like this one does and to do it for free! You can do it! Good luck!

I had a couple of NSV's yesterday. We had my daughter's birthday party at one of those bounce house places. My mom emailed me telling me that my brother (who hasn't seen me in 4-5 months) kept going on and on about how great I looked and how I looked like I was feeling so much better. Yay me! Another one is that I actually…

Moulin Rouge! I feel like a defective typewriter. I keep missing my periods.

One of the forum about how much water to drink says the baseline should be take your weight and half it. That's how many ounces of water you need in a day. THEN add 8 oz of water for every 30 minute you work out, and 8 oz of water for every 8 oz of non water drinks you have. When I calculated how much water I should be…

From the bits and pieces I've picked up here on this site, strength training does burn calories but not as much as a cardio workout would. However, it is good to do strength training because you are working out those muscles and those same muscles will still be working (making your body increase its metabolism) while you…

I have Enell. Well worth it! I was able to find 2 for 71 dollars on ebay. Enell bras are around 66 dollars if you order them online or buy them in stores.

I actually had shredded chicken tacos tonight. Yum! The only bad thing I can think that I put in that dish is the sodium in taco seasoning but you can make your own homemade that is not high in sodium. What I did was put in 2 cups of water, some chopped onions, a packet of taco seasoning and 1 pound worth of chicken breast…

I buy my sports bra from Enell and the chest and bust size is in the middle of their size range for the bra I bought so I assumed it would feel comfy or on it's way to be loose. BUT it was TIGHT!!! The bra did come with a note to expect it to feel tight and it is because we are finally getting the proper support. "my…

Sounds yummy! Thanks for posting the recipes!

Way to go! I love it when someone meets their goals early!

Enell. I ordered two from ebay for 71 dollars. "My girls" DO NOT move when I'm wearing that bra.

One of my friend had an embarassing moment like that. Her son, 2 years old at that time, went with her to the bank. While they were standing in line, she realized he wasn't by her side and looked around for him. She finally spotted him with his pants and underwear down and he was peeing into the potted plant they had at…

I have a small group of close friends that are my support system in addition to MFP. I email them my weekly progress. But for the others I see from time to time, I don't say anything. I will keep it simple if they asked about me losing weight, but that's it. Some of my friends have started asking about it after I've lost…

Few months ago, I had been trying to make a habit of going to gym. One morning, converstation with my 3 yr old went like this (he's in his "why why why why" phase). Son : Where are you going, mommy? Me : To workout Son: Why? Me: Because I need to Son: Why? Me: So I can get smaller Son : Why? Me : So I can play with you !…

Here's one I like. Mixed greens with drained mandrain oranges, chopped walnuts and fat free raspberry vingerette dressing. Yum!

Whoo! That must have felt great!

I once asked a boyfriend (now an ex) what made him ask me out, he didn't want to answer at first. That got me wondering why so I pestered him about it. He finally said "I thought I had a good chance since no one would want you" :noway: Meaning that no one would want to date a deaf girl.

That sounds like a fun thing to do! Do you have any cream cheese recipes to share with us?

Where I shop at is always out of stock on the 93/7 ground turkey so I used to get the 85/15. I learned a couple months ago that 93/7 ground beef is much lower than the 85/15 turkey! I started getting the 93/7 beef and it's only 10 calories more per serving than the 93/7.

OOH! That sucks! I would have been miserable also :grumble:

Are you able to view Hulu.com? I don't think you have to download the episode, but you can watch shows online on that website.

When I was in high school, there was this flyer circulating around about the Alaskan Diet ( i think was the name of it). Supposedly doctors would recomment this diet to overweight patients that needed to lose weight quickly to have surgery. It was supposed to help you lose up to 20 pounds in a week. I can't remember the…

I do pedicures only, but like them in so many colors. I'm always changing each time I go for a pedi. HOWEVER, at end of next month I plan to ask for pink camo design! It's to match my daughter's theme for her birthday party :happy:

I tried it, but wasn't too crazy about it. I guess it didn't help that I don't like cauliflowers.

If you could get your family to eat at IHOP instead, they have many dishes that are low calorie. My fave is the Baby Cakes (from the kids menu) and with the sugar free syrup, the whole thing is only 235 calories.
