True that!

Welcome...great support here. You can add me as a pal if you would like, but just know I will try to motivate as much as possible in a friendly way of course.

Can't do just one....whiskey, pizza and tacos of anykind!!

I use my counter in the kitchen to do push ups, and leg lifts. Also you can use your floor for crunches, if you have a bike, go for a ride. You local indoor pool should have some great sessions. I joined a "swim to be trim" class at ours, and it is reasonable, plus it is a great workout. My pool has been closed for…

I never used to eat breakfast or lunch either. Back in the day, 18 years ago when I met my husband I weighed 98 pounds naturally. I ate breakfast then and lunch. But slowly life and children crept in and so did 53 pounds! Since Aug 12 this year, I had surgery and realized I would've recovered faster if I had been in better…

Personally, I have to have carbs after a workout or I will pass out. No I am not diabetic, just the opposite....hypoglycemic. I find eating carbs right afterward keeps the energy flowing for me.

That's what we use, and my kids get a glass everynight before they brush and go to bed.

On Tuesday Men's Health had an artical online about the top 40 superfoods. And you guessed it....chocolate milk made the cut. Large glass right after a workout. I was so excited, I missed my choc milk.

Way to go!! good job!

I'm 5'3" goal weight is 115 current weight is 143....shouldn't take to long.

I just checked out shakeology. Saw some videos on it and have done a lot of reseach the past few days. I have done the slim fast thing and it doen't help. But with the shakeology you get everything your body needs. Check it out. We are buying some this next payday.

We are on the same page. I am 5'3" and currently 144 lbs. I too am turning th big 4-0 in March. My goal is to be 130 by Christmas and between 112 and 120 by my birthday. Add me as a friend and we can do this together. I have had the same thing said to me, or here eat this your not big enough. Well I am big for me, and I'm…

Well there you have it folks. Thanks for all your advice. That is probably why my weight is staying the same. I am not eating enough.

17 years ago when my husband and I first met, he called me toots. My son started calling him pops. We married each other, divorced each other, and spent 10 years apart. We reconnected and the first thing out of his mouth was hi toots. We are married again (I know strange) but we have always been in love with one another.

That there is exactly why I hate gyms. Always has to be some creep, but then again they are at the grocery store too! Great job on all your hard work, and I would take it as a NSV. I also have to state, that if he keeps it up, I would tell him to just leave you alone. If that doesn't work, either go at a different time or…

Super wonderful!! That is a great NSV!! Keep up the great job you are doing!!

Thanks for that link! I looked up the top 40 super foods and most of them we like!

This actually made me realize how much crap I was eating. I actually look forward to planning my day, and not starting a diet every Monday. Now I think, "wow, I still can have some popcorn, or I can have 1 cookie" It has made me more accountable for my actions, be accountable to others and has made my family closer. I love…

I think it is because mothers have to work outside the home now. They are not staying home making good food, having the children go outside and play instead of watching tv or playing video games. Moms and dads are too tired to go outside and play with the children. It is easier to "plug" them in, give them a cookie and be…

Ipad 2, digital food scale, gift cert for Zuba, to reach 130 lbs by then

I'm 5'3" and am at 143 right now. I am looking to get to 112 to 117

I thrift shop through the weight loss, then I am not out a ton of money. When I get to my goal, then I will splurge!

So true!!

After all that did you wake up? LOL cause I have dreams like that sometimes. All sounds yummy but the grapefruit.

(raise of hand) I

Out of personal experience, the hcg diet is very bad for you. Only being allowed 500 calories a day is horrible. You could have long term effects from this. Doing that to your body can cause some seriouse side effects including liver and kidney problems. I think your hubby is valid with his concern, and if you incorporate…

Super fantastic! Great job on keeping balance!

Be careful, they are loaded with sodium. We are learning to make our own, and I make extra and put single serves in the freezer for a quick lunch or a fend for yourself night. Plus I like a ton of crackers with my soup, and I get enough sodium from that.

I have 29 to go, but you can add me as a friend if you'd like.

Super job!!
