Soft foods. I lived on milkshakes for 2 days afterwards. Whatever you do, don't suck through a straw. Also, if they tell you to gargle with salt water, do it.

Ditto, we girls know that is like #3 on the hardest to tone up and everyone that has seen anyone who has had a tremendous weight loss knows that skin there dangles and drips and likes to slap you in the face and say hi.

Everyone says to do the HRM for a completely accurate recording of what burns what. Running on the beach sounds heavenly. Which branch are you in? Army here.

If you want to try at home, buy a good resistance band. You can get a solid workout without having to keep buying free weights or try using free weights at the gym. You can do most of the exercises with free weights and if you use a ball you can get a core workout at the same time. Pick up a sculpting tape (or several) if…

Depends on where the fat is located. Bicep curls, hammer curls, overhead tri press, tri pulldown (cable at gym), dips, etc work muscles in arm. Weight depends on your level of strength.

Don't you all love the military mom thing. This is my first mother's day in 3 years that my baby is home to spend the day with me and the boys. However, he flies out on Father's Day which is also our anniversary. I am grateful everyday that he is here to spend with me.

I love, love my crock pot. My mother in law got me the big one which also has a roasting pan and every gadget known to man and a really good crock pot recipe book. Some of them don't seem too healthy, but I have tweaked several and they taste just fine. I use a lot of different seasonings in my dishes or they do seem too…

Thanks, I plan on it. We will be married 7 in June and couldn't be happier!

To sum up the differences between guys and girls, to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy; when is the last time you saw a man run out of the room crying and a woman chasing after him calling out what did I say. I tell my poor husband you are damned if you do, damned if you don't and you better figure out which is the lesser of two…

I was out teaching and riding today. I love the actual summer (we have only been up here 18 mo) but I miss the longevity of the east coast summers. I can deal without the humidity though. I took my dogs and kids out for a walk this am. I plan on going for a long walk tomorrow. You?

Fort Lewis, not too far. Enjoy the weather today? I always feel like such a night owl because of all the time zone differences.

As I lose the weight, the best and only compliment that I still keep with me is the one my husband said, which was "You were beautiful before you lost the weight, but now that you are happier, you are even more beautiful". So, what makes my weight loss hard, is that I am completely comfortable with who I am inside and I…

Do you think we are all getting a little ocd about the calorie thing. I agree, I looked it up a long time ago and then the mental image of me checking my calorie count and thinking hhhmm I am over a little and going honey I need to burn some calories, lets get it on. Or worse, having a good long slam dunk outta the park…

Three for me! Bodie - Black/Silver German Shepherd. My big baby. Keeps me company when my baby is away. Sasha - Black/Tan German Shepherd. Just turned a year and has more puppiness to grow out of. But loves, loves, loves my boys. Lucky - Maine Coone Cat. The laziest thing on four feet until it's bedtime (mine) and then,…

Yeah, the Seattle weather finally decided to be nice. But of course, chance of rain over the weekend, again. I feel like I am caught in a time warp.

Gotta do the cardio thing for weight loss and the strength training thing to build muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, but burns calories more too. Do both. I love the multi-tasking videos, but I also walk, do the elliptical and do toning and strength training exercises. If you like to run, run. I don't because of bad…

Getting started is only the second hardest phase. The part you are hitting happens to everyone at some point. I don't keep a 'journal" other than what I log here, but I have a special notebook that lists all the reasons I am doing this, along with pics of me at my heaviest and at my lightest along with pics of my husband…

Please have one for me. I am far far away from Chi'Chi's and everytime I ask for one, they don't give that I have just swallowed a handful of skittles/cotton candy taste.
-
To my little boys: I love you, very much. However, could you turn off your built in radar that triggers your nightmares, bad dreams or bladder needs until after your daddy and I spend "quality time" together. I promise that we are not trying to bring a new life into the world. Daddy is fixed and mommy plans on maitaining…

Not harsh, just as aggravated as we all are by idiot driver's. Mine of the week, the idiot who almost rear ended me while I had my kids with me because he didn't notice the whole sea of bright red tail lights including MINE, because the idiot was texting. Couldn't you have just handed your phone to the other idiot in the…

Have the little trampoline and when I fight my kids for it, it is great. I do 60sec drills and alternate with toning.

Tequila sounds really good, making me crave a Chi-Chi's Wild Berry one. I give you a lot of credit for stopping at one. My baby and I are going out Sat nite date nite and I hear the jungle beat calling my name. I am sure I can find away to give me one or two of them.

For her, makeover city!!!!!!!! That is my ultimate "reward". I also want a cruise but my husband is holding out on me.
-
Ditto, which makes me realize I don't eat all that bad and keeps me motivated for days that I want to. I really like watching it while I am on the elliptical.
-
To my sister in law: No, I don't like you. I will never like you and my brother is not your beck and call b**ch boy. It won't hurt you to clean, do laundry, cook and occassionally take care of the kids. Also, my mom isn't that young anymore. It is not fair for you to subject her to the 4 y/o, the 20mo and the 9 mo old. If…

Dear dearly departed lover, I know I asked my husband to take you away and dispose of you. Which he has done very cleverly and won't tell me what he has done with you (I am thinking you were used as target practice). However, I need you or a replacement. I miss your daily digital readout, o.k. sometimes two or three times…

Depending on your bodies sensitivity to hormones it canaffect you. Ditto for me on depo, 50lbs in 6 months and I was very active at the time, I came off and it took me two years to get back to normal. I got the Mirena after my son was born and although I was able to lose weight, slowly, but lost and then I hit a plateau…

Gift certificate to a spa if that is your mom's thing. I know people hate GC and gift cards, but for something like that it works, or take her with you and use your brother's money you pay for yours!!
