  • Never. After losing a good chunk of weight, I noticed that as I was packing on muscle, the scale wasn't moving...even though my clothes were fitting better and I was feeling pretty dang good. I finally switched over to measurements, and measure in 11 spots on my body. I measure once a week, in the morning after getting out…
  • I am also doing it the C25K program. Feel free to add me if you want. I am supposed to start Week 3 Day 1 tomorrow, but I may do Week 2 again.
  • Mine is private because it is my business. Seeing as how I have lost a good amount of weight, goes to show I don't need everyone to look at my diary and see what I am doing right or wrong. But it's awesome that you felt the need to try and call people out on their diary....the only thing you did was make yourself look…
  • The only thing I remember from it is the cat eating Costco chicken too...which made me automatically think "Crazy Cat Lady!"
  • Once a week - clothes free. I weigh every Wednesday....it helps me to remember because "weigh" and "Wednesday" start with the same letter. "Wednesday Weigh Day". I'm a freak....I know. But it makes me feel better about the fact that if I over indulge on the weekend, I have Monday and Tuesday to try and reverse the damage…
  • To lose baby weight (and then some!) and to be able to run a 5K without stopping.....and work my way up to a 10K. To be able to wear my bikini I bought....in May while vacationing in Vegas
  • I was going to ask the same thing!
  • My friend does this for her kids. She throws all of the baggies into a bin and if the kids need a snack, they can get into there and pick out a bag. Then she doesnt have to worry about them eating too much of a snack and they can get it on their own without her having to worry about them spilling entire packages of stuff…
  • I try to hardly ever use dip......but if I MUST...this is what I use.....except I only use 1/2 of the pack of Knorr vegetable soup mix
  • My favorite....HOMEMADE! Yogurt Dip Ingredients: •2 ½ cup yogurt – plain (low fat is a good option) •1 pack vegetable soup mix (Knorr is good) •1 TBS parsley – chopped fine •1 tsp garlic (fresh is great – but sprinkle is OK) •1 tsp dill weed •1/8 tsp pepper (fresh ground is best) Directions: 1.Mix together all ingredients.…
  • I have never hear of someone doing that.....but I would be SOOOOOOOOO hungry that I would eat anyway....
  • Keep going! Even if you are doing a little less but still working at it, that is better than not doing it. I used to think that I needed to give my muscles tons of time to rest in between....but then my boyfriend told me to look at it like if you workout every day for a week....you have 7 days of workouts done....even if…

  • I am not in Oregon but I am close....I am just up in Vancouver (the REAL Vancouver....not Vancouver BC....hehe)
  • Welcome!!! I just noticed that we live less than 2 hours away from each other! Good luck on your journey to a healthier life........its sometimes a struggle with me to eat healthy if I don't log into here and see what I am consuming......I am now a MFP addict!!!
  • Oh I forgot about Muscle Milk! I have the chocolate ones already made (not the powder) from Costco....that stuff is pretty good!! I have been trying to choke down the whey protein stuff for so long that I forgot I had Muscle Milk in the house!
  • I (personally) have a really hard time with whey....it makes me gag! I bought a huge tub of whey that someone had recommended to me and I couldn't drink any of it without gagging. Its a fun game with my nanny kids....they like to count, I start chugging...and we see how long before I start gagging. They love that game, but…
  • haha! Yeah I can't slip up since I'm a nanny and my boss would kill me if she came home to me drunk off her alcohol! But she did laugh pretty hard when I told her....then her husband told me where he had put my resistance bands. So tomorrow, the liquor will stay in the pantry!
  • I used to be a runner (and A LOT better in shape!) and I just did L1D1....and my legs feel like jello, my heart is racing out of my chest, I had to stop multiple times........HOLY COW! I knew since I stopped running I was out of shape....but I didn't realize how out of shape I was until I did 20min of Jillian! Needless to…
  • I just went and got it last night.....I am a few days late...but I will be starting today!!!!!
  • Good luck! I was going to wait the full 7 days before weighing myself but for some reason (probably lack of sleep last night) I thought that today was day 7 for me and I weighed myself. It wasn't until I got to work that I realized what day it was! HAHA!
  • Welcome! I am new here too (only a week in).....good luck on your journey!!!!!
