I've also heard about people 'hiding' their veggies. Blend/food process them then add them to pasta, etc. I saw one program where the women said she'd blend up spinach, then freeze it into ice cube trays so she could just throw the cubes into stirfrys or whatever she was making.

Congratulations! I've started shopping at consignment stores and having my old clothes taken in. Since you've had your new clothes such a short time, you could try to consign them and see if you can make some of your money back.

The accuracy on mine goes crazy when the battery is low. I can change 20lbs.

Congrats to the Bruins! They played hard. Thomas was amazing. They deserved to win. - Still a Canucks fan. (although very much embarassed by a few idiots in my city, and very thankful that I made it out of downtown safely last night)

I think the painkillers killed my appetite, so I don't really remember being hungry after my wisdom teeth came out. Maybe it was also b/c they kept bleeding for ~6hrs. I think I had yogurt, broth and gingerale on day one. Probably had ice-cream too just to feel better. The next day I had chicken noodle soup (minus the…

You won't want to put it on while it's still raw, but I use duct tape on areas prone to blisters/rubbing. Works wonders!

Awesome! Such a great feeling. Congratulations. The only down-side..affording new clothes!

I personally haven't seen that data. But at 800 calories for two months, I would make sure I was being monitored by a doctor to ensure I wasn't doing damage to myself. If I was given the all clear by a real legitmate health professional/doctor, i would do it. There's a reason they went to school for so long..they more than…

This 1200 is based on aspects of our bodies that are out of our control. For example, the calories needed for your internal organs to work properly. You body does not want to have to break down stores to run it's more basic functions. The 1200 is NOT assuming you don't want to lose muscle. The 1200 has nothing to do with…

My wii fit shows I'm slightly lighter than I should be. I think it's about 5lbs out. But not only will your weight change depending on time of day and what you're wearing, but it can also change depending on where you place the scale. Always place the scale in the same spot. I don't care so much about the absolute value my…

If I ban it, I find I want it more! And then I'll over eat it when it does appear. I need to work things in in small amounts. I've started keeping the good ice cream at my brother's house. When I go over and walk his dogs every week or two, I have a few bites of the ice cream. It's not in my freezer, so it can't tempt me.

Wow. Congratulations. Looking good! Keep it up!

I believe. Still 2 to go. Go Canucks! We'll just have to do it in 5 now. We wanted to win at home anyways.

I feel like I'm going through the same thing. I'm also 5'5" and about 127. I dont' worry about the scale/weight, but I'd like to lose some more "size" in my butt/thighs area. Since I can't target, I just have to keep working hard. I'm adding some more strength exercise. Just started bootcamp this morning, so we'll see if…

I'm in Vancouver. :)

If I feel a headache during/after workout, I try to drink a litre of water. It usually goes away fairly quickly. I've never been much of a water-drinker. Never really liked it, so I really need to force myself to do it. Especially after a run.

I have a fairly large chest as well, and it puts a huge strain on my shoulders/neck. Plus I have a muscle imbalance from years of a sport. At my worst, I couldn't reach over my head or behind my back to dress myself. I still have problems operating the radio in my car some days. I'm currently banned from any chest…

I;m trying to teach my brother's pitbull-presa canario to run with me. We're having some difficulties. She's gotten some bad habits lately and has taken to lunging at other dogs. But we're working on it. I love that's she's fairly big, probably close to 100lbs and just starting to fill out, so when I run on the trails or…

Congrats! It's such a great feeling! I'm having the same problem! I can't afford new clothes, so I'm having the old ones taken in to save some money. (altho, a little warning.. not all pants look good afterwards...)

I can't wake up either. I'm definitely not a morning person! Since I live in a basement suites, I find it really hard to wake up without sunlight in the morning. So I put a lamp on a timer so that it turns on in the morning. I find it really helps me to wake up.

I have an 8 week run-further program. And I have an 13 week run-faster program. The run further program tells you how far in run in a certain amount of time. It's by the same group that did the sun-run training program. (which I think is similar to the couch to 10K??) Let me know if you're interested in it!

I've had the pain off & on for the past two years after the gall bladder removal. I'll go weeks or even months without an attack, but when it comes, it's really bad and it feels like there's no end in sight. And I've found no common trigger! I've had attacks that lasted 8-10 hours. They've since treated me for gastritis.…

I hate bananas too! Apparently since I was a baby. I also can't stand peanut butter (I know if you made a peanut butter/jam sandwhich and didn't clean the knife before putting it into the jam jar!) And hot dogs. Well..basically all "meat-in-tube". (sounds dirty, but isn't)

I had mine out 2 years ago thanks to stone in the bile duct. (or so they told me) Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have been the problem, so I'm currently awaiting a more tests. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I can't eat grapes anymore. I get horrible stomach cramps. No idea why. Most people don't notice a…

Sundried tomatoes. There was a really great one at a restaurant I go to. It was Very very thinly sliced granny smith apple, bacon and drizzled with ranch.

Check out Active by Freya. I wear a 30G and it's the only sportbra I've found for high impact. It's not the prettiest, but it's not bad. I"ve had way worse that did less. I love it and don't work out without it now. The prettiest I found was Energy Beads by Marie Jo . It's not for high impact, but was good for other sports…

I was attempting to date, even met a nice guy. But during this process I've decided that I need to concentrate on myself first. I have so many little things in myself I need to fix first, before I start worrying about someone else. It was probably that the person just wasn't right for me, but I found it difficult to make…

Is there also intense pain behind your right shoulder? That's a big indicator of gall stones. The gall bladder releases bile for fat metabolism. So you'll usually only have the pain after eating fat. If you cut out fat completely, you won't have an attack. (and it doesn't differentiate between good & bad fat) . I tried to…

I'm doing a similar running program and I'm a few years post-op from knee surgery. When my knee starts hurting after/during a running workout, i drop back down a couple weeks in the program (something with more walking & less running) and try to help my knee build up strength that way. If you're too close to the beginning…

I'm only down 11lbs, but I've already had to start taking in all my old clothes (I also had a problem buying clothes that were at least a size too big) But my friends haven't said a word, even the ones who've know how much I've lost. I could understand if they saw me all the time, but some of them only see me every few…
