BUMP BUMP!! I love it. Thank you so much. Oh and you are looking really good all dressed up ;)

Thank ya'll so much. The route should be easy no hills in southern Louisiana. Plus i'm shooting for a morning ride so there shouldn't be much traffic. I'll have my little boy strapped in the baby seat and we are going helmet shopping thursday after work. We are going to stop at a park at he half way point for a little play…

The good thing is that you are logging to see where you are. I understand how that can be depressing. I know when I have a red number I want to kick myself in the butt. If you are having trouble with not eating at the functions maybe try increasing your exercise to cover the calories. that is what I do if i know I have a…

I broil mine with mushrooms and onions sprinkled with some cajun seasoning and a little dab of butter. i've added it to shrimp and brocoli stir fri. I've thought about adding salsa to give it a kick (but haven't tried it yet)

Honestly I didn't know they had a special tape to use. I've just been using the one that goes with my sewing kit. lol

I'm not exactly a baby boomer but grew up wtih the same mentality from my parents. They never used the starving children in 3rd world countries to get me to eat but everything else is spot on. I gained some of my weight by "finishing" the bits the kids left on their plates. So I know exactly what you are talking about on…

I log it all, even when I go over and trust me seeing that red number is not fun. Instead of allowing myself cheat days, where food is involved. I would reward me with a purchase. Say for a 10 lb loss I would buy something for me, not the kids, not the house, just something to spoil me for a change. If you don't want to do…

I've been running for about 5 months now, my distance has improved in the past few months. I'm doing 5k a few times a week.

I'm wondering what needs to happen to bump it up to extreme. LMAO or maybe i don't want to know..

I'm sorry *HUGS* I know it can be hard when the foods we love so much hate us. You got past the gluten problem and you'll get past this too. Why?? because you are a strong and amazing person.

You look amazing in your dress. I'm so happy for you. congrats on the loss and keep up the great work.

that's great.. congrats

V8 Fusion drink 150 calories, a full serving of fruit and veggies. I keep a pack in the house for days when its late and I still have a bunch of calories left to eat. However I don't force myself to eat back all of my exercise calories. I tried that for a few weeks and just ended up making myself sick by forcing to much…

Thank ya'll so much!!

way to go. that is amazing. I can't wait til my knee gets better so I can start running again. I NEVER thought i enjoy moving so much.

that was interesting. thanks

For me I burned more calories on the treadmill then the elliptical, but I think that would all depend on how fast you are going and if you are using an incline.

There are several factors that will determine calories burned. I'm 5'2 153lbs and according to my HRM when I used my gazelle glider the other day after an hour I had a calorie burn of about 125. When I did a google search it had a much much higher estimated burn around 500 calories. The only real way to know is to invest…

When I was pregnant I got a lot of leg cramps in my calf, the doctor said to increase potassium. I started eating lots of bananas and it helped. Not sure if the pain you are having is the same. hope you figure it out.

i think the whole point behind chewing so many times is just a way to make you take your time eating. I know with my daughter, she will finish a plate and be ready to run for seconds saying she is still starving. And i have to make her wait to allow the food to make it to her stomach. lol

Very nice post.

I use the flat out wraps for pizza and no meat just veggies. I'm a pizza addict so it has helped when the cravings hit... OH but the other night I was out of flat out wraps and used the La tortilla low carb wraps only 50 calories for 1. (they are the size of a soft taco shell) i think they tasted better then the flat out…

clothes shopping is definately high on the list for me.

bump I have issues with mine too. So i'd like to see some ideas

ice.. when my knees are hurting (which is often lately) I will ice them. Also using icy hot helps some. i don't have much trouble with my back. i went to the doctor last week about my knee and he advised me to take some time off from running because i'm putting to much stress on the joints.

And I just bought a box Truvia today to give it a try.

I just went to the doctor last week for my knee pain. He basically said that i'm stressing my joints and need to stop working out for 4-6weeks. Now i'm not going to listen that strictly but i am going to change from running 3 times a week to trying the stationary bike at the gym and the elliptical when they start feeling…

i haven't used mine for more then chicken breast and burgers but using it for quesadillas sounds like a really good idea. I think i'll try that tonight. 2 la tortilla low carb soft shells 50 cal each diced or sliced Chicken breast 100 cal sliced mushrooms spinach 2 tbs salsa 10cal 1/2 cup 2% shredded cheese 45cal (per…
