Love this!

I know all about Dave Ramsey, and I like a lot of what he has to say, but his website was not really what I was looking for. My sister uses that method, but it absolutely does not work for me, and the types of bills I pay. I want to be able to use this for my business accounting as well as my home. We have mine, his and…

:flowerforyou: Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

@psulemon Sorry, I left off part of your quote, but you asked, "I woudl like to say, it's awesome that you found what works for you. Keep it up. Do you mind if I ask how they calculated your calories? [/quote] Not sure exactly what you mean, but I'll take a shot at answering your question. I met a couple times with her.…

THAT MADE MY MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have a spreadsheet, and our banks have free budgeting software. I'm embarrassed to say, that even though I have owned my own business for years, I have never used quickbooks. My accountant does my payroll and taxes. I just use spreadsheets, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new android. This is just not my…

By the way, my RD says under 150 pounds, a person should shoot for only 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds of weight loss per week. I'm right where I should be. Sometimes I go up a half pound, sometimes down 2, but I always average about what my RD says. When I was fluctuating in calories with exercise, my weight loss was much slower,…

I did, but then I decided I had too much fluctuation in calories. Because I teach classes, I get anywehre from 1 hour to 4 hours of exercise a day. So I hired a dietician. Now, upon her recommendation, I just stay at a calorie range of 1800-2000 calories,every day, except on the days I don't work out at all, like Sunday.…

Have sooooooooooo much fun. Hope the weather is decent. Yes, you probably arlready know about mine. I'm doing the Leavenowrth Washington OKTOBERFEST 1/2 in the mountains. My daughter is flying in from Utah, to do it with me. It will be her first. At first I thought I would be staying with her, but yesterday she did a short…

it didn't have a spinach smoothie. But it['s basicly like mine without the protien powder and flax seed, and adding a little vanilla and sweetener. You just have to experiment.

Here you go. http://www.vitamix.com/recipes/

bummer. sorry about the cancelled run. Doing the Leavenworth, Washington 1/2 marathon on October 15th. I pulled my hamstring during my boot camp class. It set me back for a month, but I"m back on track. Gonna run 9 miles this Friday. I have run several 1/2 marathons and a couple full marathons. But I'm really excited…

For our combination birthday, father's day, anniversary present we bought a "Vita-mix". It was about $400. But we use it at least 2 times a day. We used to throw away so much produce when it would start to get wilty or mushy. Now we put in the smoothie. I have a juicer too. But I rarely use that any more. And no, I do NOT…

Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and a little known movie called Lovely Still....not your typical chick flick, but an important film to see. You MUST watch it to the end. and Princess Bride

Oh no! I guess it's not worth it then. I had better not eat them. In fact maybe I better had not trust any of the nutrition breakdowns on this site. Whatever shall I do? joking. Enjoy your day and whatever healthy food you can get and all the exercise you love! Peace.:smile:

not a problem. As I've said before, if something works for you, great. It sounds like you're getting some healthy stuff inside. I just posted this because people often slam bananas and potatoes on this site. And for people who enjoy them, like me, I'm simply pointing out they serve a marvelous purpose. Enjoy!

That's a good one, but pretty advanced. And yep, we do that in my more advanced Pilates classes. Without being able to go into all the particulars, I'm serious about trying to find a really good Pilates instructor, meaning someone with serious anatomy and kinesiology knowledge. That person can teach you how to effectively…

:wink: Thanks. I think the people disagreeing with me didn't read the article, like I'm stating that bananas and potatoes are the ONLY place to get postassium. Not saying that, just saying they're not bad. For instance, yesterday I had a small Yukon potato, only 110 calories (THAT'S HIGH?????), (with 780 mg of potassium)…

That's true, but replacing those glycogen stores in your muscles is not a bad thing. I'm not diabetic, and I don't have a problem with blood sugar, and I eat all those other foods you mentioned too. I just am pretty tired of hearing people knock 'em. If you have a blood sugar problem, then maybe you don't want to eat them.…

Oh, and once you learn Pilates, add a kettlebell or a BOSU to it.

Actually, you will learn more about your abs from a GOOD Piltates instructor than ANYTHING else you could do. I just finished a "boot camp". I ACE the sit up test and kick everyone's butt, every time!

There are some people and ads on this site, that say bananas and potatoes will keep you from losing weight but cause they're high glycemic. So I was really happy to find this article.

:laugh:

Like I said in an earlier post on this thread, I don't have a problem with people who want to eat the whole egg. We raise chickens. But I trust my RD more than heresay, blogs, and news reports. I'm always learning, and I don't know everything, but I think eggs are a pretty basic thing to keep up on, and if my RD tells me…

The article is long, so if nothing else, please read this, from the American Council on Exercise. The Bottom Line “Don’t buy these shoes because of the claims that you’re going to tone your butt more or burn more calories. That’s absolutely wrong,” says Porcari. Then how do researchers account for the anecdotal evidence…

And keep in mind that testimonials collected by the company selling the shoes are purely anecdotal. The actual scientific research is in the article I just posted. Obviously, if you are walking differently, you will "feel" you muscles differently, but does it do what they claim? According to real research, absolutely not.…

The answer is "no". However, if it gets you moving more, then fine. However, there are people who have had back and knee problems as a result. I was interviewed about this by our local newspaper. Rather than give you the link to that article, I'll just point you to a very reputable source, the American Council on Exercise.…

Most RD's are required to "study" all the latest studies, and they have very credible resources to back up their recommendations. I'm a personal trainer, and I have to stay up on all the latest exercise information, but it always amazes me that people think they know more because they heard it or read it on a study.…

Thank you, yeah I was trying to say what you said.

My husband gets really annoyed that I throw the yolks away, especially because we raise our own chickens. But I have a lot of heart disease in my family. I really shouldn't be eating cheese either, but I eat it sparingly. I had a registered dietician tell me I should only have 2 eggs per week, with my family history of…
