Just make it a learning experience. Always tell her how beautiful she is just the way she is but instead of saying this food will make me fat say something like this is a treat and right now my belly is already full so its not a good idea to eat this. And then when it is time for a snack or a treat bring out a couple…

The fact that he is getting paid to help you change your life around and push you and such and he "forgot" to let you know today. Yeah I feel bad that he knows someone who got into an accident but If i was an employee and I just forgot to tell my boss someone was in a car wreck my boss will say i dont care you didnt tell…

Well you have done a fabulous job!! And youre very beautiful keep smiling and doing what youre doing!!

after doing studies they have found that after so much of a workout or take a marathon for instance after about the 18th mile it is not effective. read up on it!! :smile:

what are your portions like? and are you doing strength and cardio for your workouts? These things can help. I dont know how youve lasted that long without giving up. When I dont see results i quit doing what it is I was doing but I am proud of you for trying to stick to it!!

wow! great job! :happy:

Hi!! Im 5'2" and 3/4ths (lol) Im almost 31 current weight is 134-136 depending on day and time goal weight between 125 and 130 After 4 kids I want to see where my hips are before I drop too much weight :) I try to workout when I can and working on making it a daily habit. I would ultimately like to do cardio and strength…

I had panic attacks everyday for about a yr. i went to a therapist they explained self talk and I learned right away how to talk myself out of them. occasionally they still get out of hand but not so bad and it really worked. If you are spiritual at all I suggest praying to God or reading the bible, that worked for me also.

nuts in general i would say. and greek yogurt. I eat a good healthy but high calorie breakfast every day. 10 grain hot cereal with greek yogurt a fourth cup of nuts depending on what I have on hand and a fourth cup of raisins. comes out high but filling and good for ya.

I like the cooking light magazines. I always find good recipes that taste good and it has the nutritional info printed on them!!

what size cans of enchilada sauce?

I gained almost 50 with my first but I was also very tiny when I began with that one and prob needed to gain weight. Walked for about 25 min a day. 2nd I gained 25 lbs. With both of those 10 of those lbs stuck but it was a good thing. The next I gained 35 and lost half of it easily the last half had to WORK to get it off…

roasted with olive oil salt pepper and fresh garlic sometimes I sprinkle parmesean chz its sooooo good!! My husband also julienned carrots apples and did like a shredded version of brussel sprouts and made a coleslaw out of it. not sure what kind of dressing he made but it was good!! I was surprised

Uh yeah when I name my daughter haylee I had never met another i just found the name in a book liked it named her, very popular name that year. 2nd daughter came and i had always wanted a Hanna, #1 name of the yr she was born!! Boo hoo!!

Im almost 5'3" and 136 lbs. I want to be 125-130 toned. I have a big trunk, wide hips and very skinny legs so I will see where I am at 130 and toned. I had my 4th baby 2 yrs ago and my hips are too wide now so i have to be cautious. When I was younger my happy weight was 120.

I love spinach!! I use it for the lettuce in everything that needs lettuce. I also cut it up and throw it in dishes because you really cant taste it. here are a list of things I put it in...hamburgers, taco salad, omelets, casseroles, stuffed bread...the possibilities are endless for me haha

Try making yourself drink a cpl oz's before drinking your beverage of choice as you get used to that then add more. I have never had an issue with water but never drank enough. So when I started doing it I would make myself drink 8 oz before my coffee, 8 oz before dinner. 8 oz before any other drink I had. Now I drink…

Sharing your marriage issues on a public forum on MFP is not really a way to get help for your marriage. We are only hearing your side also so thats not really fair to your husbands side of the story. If what you want is people to tell you to leave your marriage because thats really what you want to do why do you need to…

Awesome job! :wink:

sounds delicious, congrats on your loss!! :flowerforyou:

I am at an interesting place right now. I love running/jogging. It is easiest for me to have motivation to do and its something I want to continue doing. It burns great calories.
