I like ricotta cheese on toast, with a little olive oil, or some quinoa with a little chili sauce or some garlic.

I picked up two bags for $2.49/# today! I spent an hour pitting one of the bags with a chopstick and a beer bottle for my bourbon cherry pie for our 4th of July BBQ tomorrow .... and trying not to eat the whole second bag. They're one of my absolutely favorite snacks, and I swear they're extra good this year. Last summer I…

I have two today :) I was feeling really, really frustrated this morning because I got on the scale and saw I had gone UP in weight instead of down. I almost cried, realizing that this is the most consistent I have been in my life getting my butt in gear and really working out. I am doing 30DS and was only planning to…

My goal is 10 pounds by August 8, the day I leave for my vacation. DH and I are going back to Mexico to we went to for our honeymoon last year for our first anniversary on August 10. If I do it, I am getting a massage at the spa!

If you really want a machine, I second the recommendation to try Craigslist. I bought my elliptical about a year ago for $75! It's a quality machine and was a total steal. It took a few weeks to find it, but with patience you can find what you need.

Can I join even if I've already begun? I'm on day 3 of level 2 but will probably repeat when I finish, and would love the support either way!

Oh sweet lord, why does Jillian expect you to be so COORDINATED for level 2? I don't think I'm a klutz - I coach CHEERLEADING, for pete's sake - and I cannot get that skater thing. At all.

I just did my first day of level 2 today - finished about 10 minutes ago, and I'm sitting on the sofa sweating like a stuck pig. I feel like I might be in a sauna from how much I sweat doing this. I absolutely have to take breaks, and I'm okay with this. I know that I am very much a beginner; I know that I have asthma; I…

I wanted to jump into this thread - I just finished level 1, day seven :) I don't feel like I'm dying anymore! I am resolutely not weighing or measuring until I finish the level, but I feel good that I am sticking to it. I am using six pound hand weights, since they're all I have in the house. Here's to hoping for results!

I didn't buy organic veggies, but this recipe could easily be made organic. And it works out to just about 130 calories a cup! Mushroom and Stout Soup 1 large onion, sliced thinly 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp olive oil 1 1/2 cup portobello mushrooms, sliced 2 cup button mushroom, sliced 3-4 leaves fresh sage, diced 4 cups beef…

Hummus on toast is FABULOUS.

I get up at around 5am each day and do a quick (10 minutes quick) circuit training session in my house. It's only 10 minutes, it's a small calorie burn, but it gets me in the mindset for the day to come home and lift/get on the elliptical. Maybe working out at home, early in the day, could work for you? I know for me - I…

Hi Panda! I sent you a friend request, because your post made me actually laugh out loud. We *might* be the same person, because I just made a new account to start fresh because I had no one to chat with on my old one!

Hi! Today is my first day back on MFP after giving up on it ... mostly because without friends to keep me motivated I lost track. I'd love to find new friends, so I'd love for people to add me!
-
I'd love to find some new friends to keep me motivated! I have about the same weight loss goal as you - starting at 168 and my goal is eventually 140, but I'd be happy to hit 150-155! I sent you an add :)

I'm in the same boat - it's my second year teaching but my first year in this school. It feels like I'm running in 97 directions at once (and none of them seem to involve frequent exercise!!). What age/subject do you teach? I'll add you!
