Has nothing to do with the friends I want to see - it's ALL me - 'this' isn't how I want them to remember me for the next however many years till I see them again. (People I know 'now' already know me looking like this, and half of them probably won't even notice till I've lost at least 50 lbs! lol!) But the people I only…

SWEET! I've seen the # of workouts tee shirts in the club but assumed they were for purchase..I wonder! I'm a tenth of the way there! lol

haha!! I impressed one of my friend's kids last summer when I lifted their Mom..and the bench she was sitting on!! rofl!! I do live for those moments :D

WOW! Big diff in a pretty short period of time. You must really be working it! You go, girl!!!

okay, that was weird - just found my post above, wonder what I was going to write about my little one? lol!! OH YEAH I remember! I'm trying to add variety to my workouts (and get ready for a 5K) and my sis gave me a Leslie Sansone Walkk at Home workout..only my little one cannot STAND when I do it at home!! He literally…

I had a reading from routine bloodwork that indicated I might have fatty liver. The doctor asked me to go for a re-take to be sure. I got delayed in the retake, and when I went back my numbers (which had been definitely elevated) were normal level. I had also happened to have lost six pounds at the second blood test. The…

My three year old

woohooo!!

will check it out, thanks!

lol!

thanks! I have made seitan before, but if I'm looking for a quicker change of menu it's not the best..better for advance planning. Not sure how freezing it would change the texture - anyone know?? I can take a look at other brands..I do suspect many of them will be high sodium, but I do know local supermarkets carry…

I just tried yesterday, a beginner one - my Sis gave it to me and she loves them.

awesome for you!! My kids are involved and I've had half a mind to join..but I doubt they have a gi my size, and if they did I'm sure I'd feel like a pillow in it - even if the belt fit. So that's a fitness plan for another few sizes down!!

I didn't think I was doing the weight management - but I ended up looking up so much online about Curves during the trial, it piqued my curiousity and I decided to buy the book - after I read it I liked it enough to get going on it :)

Is anyone doing the weight management plan, or just the workouts? What do you mean about walking tapes - your Curves does them as a class? Which tapes?

wish I could help. what is it that he doesn't like about veggies? can you cut down the carbs with some substitutions? Like half mashed potato and half mashed celeriac? (that's not too carby, is it?) LA

totally have to find this recipe again after I go shopping and make it!!

I woud do this: "My doctor told me to avoid...(or severely limit, or whatever) ... so I'm just going to have (fill in the blank with something you SHOULD be eating" Blaming the doc helps me avoid debates b/c he's not there to argue 'his' points about whatever it is...

Hey, I don't know anything about mobile apps, my phone's not that 'smart' - lol! but I know there's a way to manually change some of your goals..maybe do that with your C if you know what you're aiming for?

I know the feeling, and it sucks!! You got through that one - hope occasions like that are few and far between for you (and that they end up being victories, no matter how tough they are to get through!)

It's water - definitely good for you! Drink up! I have heard some buzz that drinking carbonated bevs can affect your calcium level, but a mineral water...hard to see it. If you're only drinking one or two a day I wouldn't worry about it. If you're drinking more than that, you could make sure you're supplenting Calcium to…

Add me too - we only do occasional processed foods (did a taco night last night and did buy the taco shells and seasonings kit! - and have picked up a couple of soy entrees to have around for days that end up being higher fat if I need a 'better fat' dinner, till I'm totally used to my eating plan..) and organic milk, plus…

Seriously, how many calories do I have to burn to be 'given' an extra 8 fat grams for the day??

his attitude is - and I quote from what he was yelling at me a few minutes ago - "We can't live like this ! counting every fat!" SO nice to have support, you know? Don't think for a second he's thin either. He's not only fat (like me) but has diabetes, heart disease (first heart attack was at 35), a CPAP for severe sleep…

WOOT!

rofl!

I did it EVEN THOUGH MY HUSBAND WAS COMPLAINING AT ME WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY OUT because he wanted to go play with his friends and my 20 minute trainin was going to cramp his style - sheesh!! He's going to be out till after midnight, did he REALLY need that extra half hour at 4 in the afternoon??? But I DID IT!

Congrats on nixing the smoking!!! If you can do that, you can do anything!! Welcome to MFP!!

What I heard was, blah blah blah blah blah beer for lunch! blah blah...
