When I smoke I think sooooooooo clearly about my goals, it HELPs keep focused! Drinking is the devil LOL. Funny which one is legal!

I love my beer!!! I also like the occasional bottle of wine (yes I did say bottle hahaha). Cocktails are hit and miss...I'm not a big fan of sugary drinks. I'm hoping I can get to goal while continuing to drink occasionally. I don't want to completely cut it out because I NEVER want to completely cut it out! I know it's…

Cooooooool! I missed the previous discussion, but I am definately in the "Lush" catagory! My DH and I are VERY social people and most of our socializing involves alcohol. We have a great backyard and people are always dropping by with beer/wine etc. And we like drinking it! I used to have a beer or two (or 4 or 6 on the…

OMG some great suggestions!!! I'm going to try guac and salsa on my next burger! Do you like relish? I love hot pepper relish on my burgers.

I've just been calculating the calories based on biking without the trailer and hoping the extra calories burned will result in fat loss. Curious what others do!

I grew up surrounded by negative nellies and I have had to literally train my brain to become the positive person I am today. It's like anything, you push yourself and keep doing it over and over and over and over again and voila, you've changed!

Thank you for posting this. I'm leaving on vacation in two weeks and have been thinking a lot about pictures. I have two little ones and everyone keeps telling me to take lots of pics of them growing up - and I have been - but something has been missing when I look through them all...pics of their Mommy. I'd like them to…

I like to fry up some veggies (especially eggplant and zuccini) in Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. Then I toss them into the quinoa. I then throw in some crumbled Goats Cheese and voila! Delicious!

I'm working from home today, my 4 year old has the pukes :( Not easy to eat well at home...especially since I'm not feeling 100% myself. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day right? It was nice and sunny this morning here in Brampton but it's cloudy and windy now!

I lost 52 + lbs back in 2001-2002 and managed to keep it off for 4-5 years. Then I got pregnant - TWICE and the aftermath was 70lbs back on. It sucked, but it was understandable. Now that I'm losing it all over again, I like to focus on what I know is ahead - especially compliments! I forgot how much I love people…

I think all of us Mom's feel the same way sometimes :) Especially with the babies! My BABY is turning 2 today so I'm out of that stage but I remember it well (I have a DD who's 2 today and another who's 4 next month, so same age gap). The first year went by like a blur. I live in Canada and had a whole year off and didn't…

I drink cafinated tea so I don't count it.

Oh hell yea - I have a pool and have been DYING for this season!!! I'm going to be able to eat at all the summer BBQ's because I plan on swimming so much lol. I agree with everyone though, you have to be swimming not just playing around in the pool. I set my watch timer to time how long I do laps for and don't count any of…

My main motivation for exercising? ENERGY. I can't put a value on the energy I get from exercising! It's made me such a happier person :)

Cooking healthy can be FUN!!! I'm having a lot of fun discovering new recipes on here :)

I'm pretty sure it is!

Good Morning Canadians!!!! MMmmm boiled eggs sound so good...I should do that some days instead of CREAM OF WHEAT every day lol. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my COW, but I like to mix things up when it comes to food. I'm sitting here at work in downtown Toronto. About to go check out a "Diversity Celebration" that the bank…

I'm going to have to agree with those who say take some time for yourself, go for a walk...maybe a swim? Something nice and relaxing where you're moving but not really making an effort to move. It will lift your spirits!

I heard it's "normal" for May to be a hard one, especially if you're a January started like myself! Today is JUNE though - we made it through that hard one! This one should be easier with the better weather right? :)

Another Ontario Mamma!!! My name is Sarah and I have two daughters, one who will be 4 next Month and a BABY who is turning TWO on Thursday (sorry I'm still freaked out that my baby is no longer a baby lol). I'm a former WW Lifetime member who had kids and can't afford to go back lol. That's ok though - thanks to MFP!!!…

Beautiful post :) I don't have time to dedicate to exercise - I have two very small children - and I always feel so guilty! After reading this, I realize that biking with my kids, gardening with them, going to the park....it IS enough :)
-
That's a GREAT NSV :) Congrats!
-
LOVE IT!!! Take that kid!
-
From one Sarah to another (don't you love our name?) - WELCOME! I have two little ones and am 31, so I know where you're coming from. I've been on this site for almost 4 months now and I'm loving it! I like the accountability, support and ease of use. Hope you enjoy your journey to a healthier you as much as I have! Sarah…

1) Ditto on the compliments! 2) More energy 3) More confidence

Gotcha :) Then yea, I'd say it might be the carbs for sure.
