No, although high blood pressure runs in my family, I have been very fortunate on that front. My BP usually runs about 120/70, even at my heaviest 60 lbs ago!

I wish it were that easy. I take potassium supplements daily in addition to a high potassium diet; I exceed the amount recommended daily. When I was hospitalized last year for diverticulitis, it was discovered that I have a potassium deficiency. While I was in the hospital they were giving me IV potassium & it kept blowing…

saving this to read for later ~ I drink Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar for leg cramps. Just started about a week ago & it seems to help! :drinker:

cool stuff everyone! My hubs is a professional photographer ~ that is how we met. I was finishing my degree in photography & went to work for him. I married the boss 20 years ago this St Patty's Day! :drinker:

this sounds like a winner ~ can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

gotta try this! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

You look great; my suggestion is to ignore the haters! Facebook is more social than motivational, so for support, I would stick with MFP over FB any day! And, I changed the wording on the quote some time ago on my page ~ it now reads "NOTHING tastes as good as HEALTHY feels". I think it reflects my mindset a lot better…

greek yogurt is one of my favorites :love: just for a change from the meats; also, eggs ~ you can microwave them & use them on a sandwich flat for an easy & quick breakfast sandwich. I add a cheese stick sliced up & some jalapenos to mine & go!

Definitely will try this ~ I don't use oil in my baking any more and it doesn't hurt the outcome at all! I actually think the final product is moister! :smile:

Heard a joke about this over the holidays, and seriously, could totally relate to it, because until I joined choir in 5th grade in school, I sooooo thought these were the words: "... Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh & call him names..." :blushing:

I'm in! Week 1 - Goal 360 min Mon 1/30 90 min - Curves Circuit Tues 1/31 60 min - Curves Wed 2/01 45 min - Curves Thur. 2/02 90 min - Curves Fri 2/03 Sat 2/04 Sun. 2/05 Total 285 min, 75 min to go, and I will have that tonite with my Curves workout! Goooooooooo me!! :smokin: .

will definitely try this ~ thanks for sharing!! :flowerforyou:

gotta try these ~ Maybe Sunday for the Super Bowl!! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

I will be trying this one ~ I use one of those bagel flats (100 cals) and take a microwaveable bowl the same size as one, spray the bowl with Pam, scramble one egg in the bowl & microwave for one minute. I put whatever veggies or mushrooms on hand in the egg before hitting the microwave, pop it out on to the bagel, top…

gonna try these ~ thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

sounds yummy! thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

definitely need to save this for later ~ snacking is my downfall!! :grumble:

You and I gave up soda at the same time ~ My drink of choice was diet Dr Pepper. Drank about a liter and a six pack a day. Don't even miss it in the least! I now drink a large glass of unsweetened iced tea in the morning & lots of water throughout the day. :smile:

this is why I always rent an apartment with washer / dryer connections in the apartment... got my stackable set at an outlet store for only $150. It has a ding & scrape on the side that faces the wall, so no one even sees it. And if they did, who cares! It doesn't matter, the set works fine. As for the laundry room fiasco,…

definitely going to try this one!! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

Can't wait to try this ~ thanks for sharing!! :flowerforyou: Bump is kinda like a bookmark so you can come back to the post(s) you are interested in re-reading. Every time you comment, it stays in your history & you can retrieve it. Hope this helps & welcome!!

Wow ~ how amazing are you!?! Congratulations! You have lost a whole Biggest Loser contestant!!! :drinker:

Lisa, The Curves where I work out does not have the Smart Key Program. Everything there is old school Curves ~ so I don't know if the program would have a problem with the number of times I go around the circuit. I would probably go crazy if I couldn't go around as many times around as I do. I guess I am glad my Curves…

Sorry ~ didn't see this question until now! IPod Friday is something my Curves just started doing. If you bring your IPod (or compatable MP3 player) you can share your exercise playlist with the other members while you work out. It is so much fun; last time I stayed for 2 hours because the music was jammin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

spit? Turkey bacon

Wow ~ I can't wait until my Curves gets Smart!! In answer to your question, yes, I worked out (much as I do everyday my Curves is open) for 90 minutes! Cannot wait until Friday ~ my Curves does iPod Friday!!!!!! :heart: it

I am so loving all of the comments here ~ I just knew if I could get rid of them, I would lose about 20 lbs! (44DDD here!) See y'all later ~ I am off to weigh the girls!! :happy:

What she said ~ hugs to you & let us know how everything turns out. Someone also posted that you should confront her face to face with your guy to read their body language ~ that would be my next step. They wouldn't be able to hide behind a text & you could see their reactions to what was being said. Good luck!…

I agree with this ~ own the mistake & move on. Today, tomorrow ~ all another day.... Don't live in the past!!

just bought some of the plain ones tonite ~ can't wait to try them tomorrow! :smile:
