  • Please add me - this sounds just like the support I need :)
  • Dang - I was too late this time Miss J - you already have 10 people - maybe next time? Good luck!
  • First of all, you are not fat - you are beautiful. I can say that since I have known you well over half my life (dang - we are getting old!)...You are beautiful on the outside as well as the inside - and not everyone is - I would believe these two people are proof of that! Remember that it is your opinion of yourself that…
  • Plain rice cake with a thin layer (tblsp) of low fat cream cheese spread, topped with a tablespoon of no sugar strawberry jam. Slice up an apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, and dip in greek yogurt with a bit of honey added. Both of these are very filling... And I always have a 0% fat yogurt cup around 3:30 -4:00 in the…

  • Mine is the 15th as well!
  • So far behind.... I made a butternut squash soup last week for the first time - it was awesome!!! And very filling! As far as age goes - hmmm....depends on the day....I am 41, but most days I feel like I am in my 30's. I feel much younger than I did last year at this time - losing weight has lost some of my aches as well!
  • Well first of all - looking over all the accomplishments posted I would say we are a group of amazing women!!! I am proud of my boys first and foremost. I raised my oldest 2 (now 19 and 20) as a single mom. My youngest is 5. I am proud that I taught them that all people have challenges and you should always strive to do…
  • Hi Everyone! I am Elle - I am a mom to 3 boys - aged 20, 19 and 5. I have a very supportive husband and we live in a very rural part of Ontario, Canada (Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!) I started trying to lose weight last September when I realized I had creeped back up to within 7 lbs of my post-baby weight. I…
  • they all sound yummy! thanks!
  • Good gosh - where do I begin??? I have been "dieting" pretty much continually for 30 years! Diet pills - yup Master Cleanse - yup Slim Fast - yup Cabbage Soup diet - yup Carb blockers - yup Atkins/South Beach/other diet books - yup Even tried these things that smelled like vanilla, mint and....hmmm there was another scent.…
  • Hello Diamonds and Happy Tuesday! :smile: QOTD: I tend to get stuck in a rut...A LOT! Eating the same thing each day, exercising the same way, etc. I fall into this trap because it is easy - I wake up each day, have a bowl of oatmeal (don't want to think too hard at 6:00 am), eat basically the same lunch, with the same…
  • First of all, Starleng1, so sorry for the loss of your FIL.... As for trying something new, I am about to next week, and would love to hear everyone's input. There is a Zumba class at the local community center. I am planning on trying the Zumba Gold - apparently it is for older adults and less impact? With my knees, I…
  • I want to lose 22-23 more lbs (50 in total) - getting myself out of the "obese" range on the BMI scale and being just "overweight"...I want to continue to exercise to tone up....My hubby turns 50 next may and I would like to have a birthday party for him and look hot for it - or at least as hot as I can get LOL! This is…
  • First of all - great challenge! Love it! QOTD: hmm...I am still in contact (over facebook) with a number of friends I went to elementary school with - who I would have met about 35 years ago....but my closest and longest friend would have to about 27 years strong - we met in grade 9. We don't talk often, but when we do…
  • Try a naturalpath....my son had a bowel condition that caused his colon to stretch due to severe constipation....and a naturalpath finally helped - after years of seeing doctors, specialists and doing everything possible. I have the same issue, just not quite as bad as he did, but at least over the counter fiber…
  • I love the 0% fat yogurt that is 35 cals per individual container (Source brand I think)....I eat them all the time. I also love the 100 cal fiber one granola bars - so convenient! I make the frozen bananas in the blender too - we add a spoon of peanut butter - so yummy - my little guy loves it! And any kind of skinny cow…
  • Well, I am hoping that this Challenge will be my "get back on track" challenge - I have been lazy in August. I have still been working out - and loving it more than before - but really lazy with snacking on things I shouldn't be (like chocolate!),not logging everything (like when I just "taste" something - and the "taste"…
  • Well, a lot of my favourite smells have already been said - vanilla for sure (my favourite "flavour" of candles), the smell right after a warm summer rain, and the smell of laundry after it has been hung outside in the spring! I also like the smell of coffee and cinnamon - makes me think of a warm house on a cold winter…
  • I remember waking up on my 5th birthday so excited....My mom had always told me once I was 5 I could go to school (I am the youngest in my family and wanted so bad to go to school with my brothers and sister)....I distinctly remember waking up and crawling up to the top cupboard in our kitchen for an old metal lunchkit…
  • Hello everyone - just sitting here enjoying the sunshine in Southwestern Ontario!
  • You mean I HAVE to grow up??? LOL! Well, honestly, this question is much harder to answer as you get older - I am forever taking courses and learning new things. Last year, I finished my CFA (Financial Analyst) - and promised my hubby now more BIG courses for a bit. I am now 41, married with 3 boys, and can honestly say…
