I recently made these ham and beans...one of my new favorite slow cooker recipes. The serving sizes are way more than you are looking for, but I always make more because we like to eat the leftovers for lunches during the week. Or you could just freeze half and thaw it out the next time you aren't in the mood to cook.…

In like a creeper....the perspective in this picture makes you look like a giant walking around a wee little house. :laugh: Also, nice legs.

Bbbbbbbacon!

Not sure of this is "proper" forum etiquette to just give you a link to my blog?....but here are some of my chicken recipes. Might give you some good ideas? http://smashlicakes.blogspot.com/search/label/chicken

It starts hurting about a minute in....and I usually don't finish the whole set when I have tried. It is the medium plates....I want to go to the large. This is just at my house though, so I don't have an instructor. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look up the stretches as well, and work on my dead lifts and rows. I think it is time to add more weight to those too.

I am trying option 2...but it is slow, I am weak. I will definitely try #1...I am pretty relaxed in my upper body right now with a wide grip. Thanks for the suggestions!

I think it might be. Coming out in the Internet world! Les Mills Body Pump bar....straight. Not a ton of weight, I am a weakling! Right now 10lbs plus the 5? Lb bar. I want to add 10 lbs. could it be the weight plus the time? It is a squat track, so a bunch of reps in different speeds for ~6 min.

This is just what "they" want us to think. Better to be safe than a zombie is my motto!

I have the 30 day shred....a good workout, but I find it boring. It is nice when I want to get a quick solid workout in, though. I recently got the Les Mills Pump set. I am in love with it....great strength training workouts that also really get your heart rate up. If you are strapped for cash, check out body rock videos…

I use this one: Whatever fruit you want 1 cup oats 2 tsp baking powder Pinch of salt 2 tsp cinnamon 1 egg 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup real maple syrup 2 tsp vanilla extract Lay fruit in bottom of casserole dish, lightly sprayed with Pam. Mix all dry ingredients, spread over fruit. Mix all wet ingredients, por over oats. Bake…

Pretty much this. You sound petty and jealous to me.

Amazing! I am so glad to have read this, I have recently started liftting weights but haven't seen a difference on the scale. I was starting to feel discouraged....read this and now I am reminded that those numbers aren't what matter! As a side note....it is awesome that you have been a surrogate 4 times. How wonderful to…

Chew on this MFP folks... Chuck Norris can have his cake AND eat it too.

Obviously. Oprah lied to you. The ONLY person Chuck Norris is afraid of is Chuck Norris. End. Of. Story.

Haters gonna hate. Potatoes gonna potate. Alligators gonna alligate. Such is life, I guess.

Fish terrify the crap out of me. Really, all aquatic creatures, bust especially fish. I just overcame it enough to not mind being in the same room as fish tanks or visiting an aquarium. Putting any part of my body in a lake, river, ocean, or pond where I could come into contact with a fish? FORGET IT.

I just sucked it up and ordered les mills pump DVDs. I can't wait to start something new!

I like #4 the best, I think it is very slimming and flattering to your shape.

Thanks for the feedback! It is good to know that they are as good as they sound. Maybe I will make it my Valentine's Day gift. :smile:

I think you have a good start...really I think the perfect casual outfit equatuion is this: a good fitting pair dark rinse jeans, either boot cut or trouser cut + an interesting shell/top + a cardigan + flats or boots Target and Kohls are great and affordable. I know it is embarrassing to go in this store.....but Forever…

Same here. I love orange or raspberry vodkas with seltzer/ soda. I grew up in WI too! No one can do a brandy old fashioned like the 'Sconnies can!

BBQ Meatloaf and Mashed Cauliflower. 397 cals for 1.5 servings of meatloaf + 1 cup cauliflower. Yum!

Thanks for the suggestions! Ripped in 30 was one I was considering, so it is good to hear other people like it!

Anything? Or am I dreaming the impossible dream?

I eat mine on a baked potato with some salsa, also. But I am very particular, I only like Deans Low-Fat. Every other kind tastes like rotten milk to me.

I eat it as a topping on a baked potato with some salsa. But if you can't stand it, don't force yourself to eat it. There is plenty of food out there that is just as good for you, or better.

Wow, 3 months and such a difference. Way to go!

Me for sure!

Sign me up too, please. I need some accountability in my life.
