Not sure I did this right. So, I'll give it another try. After giving it some thought I realized what I like about starchy, bready foods is how filling they are. I can get the same effect with these cauliflower versions, which mean I can eat more..not sure that's a good thing, to eat for volume, I mean. :blush:

^This.

Boobs are the first, and that's fine with me. The minute I start to gain they start popping out of the top of my bra. I hate that look. The last pounds are saddle bags, and as I build muscle in my legs the saddle bags look worse! There's clearly defined muscle, then globs of fat stuck to them. Grrrrr, the last 10 pounds on…

Leanne and Isabelle, WOWZA, both of you, rockin' the look! Thanks for the inspiration! I have no idea how to post pictures, I'll have to have my teenager show me how at some point. Although, like many, I don't have a picture of me at my heaviest. Gayle-great NSV, how fun to go sliding! Tammy- I've started the dumbbell…

Lesley, I'm so sorry for your loss, take whatever time you need, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

UmmSqueaky- I hear ya, why didn't I clip in years ago!? Wowza, it's like having a whole extra engine for power! "Push-pull", is sometimes the mantra I have in my head when pedaling hard. I only forgot I was clipped in once and I went to put my foot down and, well, I fell, lol. Only a few cows witnessed that sight, and for…

Total miles so far-140.30 3/30-12.21 Total for the month-152.51 goal for the month - 150 Woo -hoo, you guys rock, you've all inspired me to pedal on! Signed up and ready for 30 days in April.

Lesley-That's great that you did the complete month of the squat challenge! You must feel great. I now do squats everyday because of it, but didn't get past 180. Like Leanne I've incorporated a few of the other exercises into my day. (I still say, "Okay lovies", when I do the torturous leg lifts from that one video.) And…

"Tame the titties"', thanks for the laugh. I'm not a runner for the same reason. I'm in for the replies, I'd like a good bra that doesn't give me the uniboob look. I've tried wearing 2 bras at a time, nope. I've tried underwires, nope. I'm waiting to reach goal weight to have a reduction. I really want to know what it's…

Checking in, I'm afraid I ate my way through a bag of chocolate this weekend. And that's why I don't bring it into the house. Rose-hope you're feeling better, I laughed at the video, thanks. I've been going up and down the stairs in our house with 10 pound weights. I haven't made an Egyptian dish yet, thinking of trying…

My favorite healthy foods revolve around cauliflower. Cauliflower pizza, grilled cheese, "mashed"potatoes, etc. I think I love it because it takes the place of bread, rice and potatoes. Those starchy, creamy, bready calories that are so filling. With a little bit of creativity I can get those characteristics with…

I wasn't too innovative, I ate them. :/ It was a reminder of why I don't bring bags of chocolate into the house.

Gayle-congratulations!! Leanne-phone and flu, hope you're feeling better.
-
Nice! Thanks for the inspiration, keep it up!

Because of this thread, I've found myself checking out the huge selection of oreos in the grocery store, but I'm an old fashioned gal, I guess. Not interested in all the smoke and mirrors of all the new (gross sounding) flavors. But the Klondike bars, yes, and they're on sale this week! Those, I approve of.
-
You're not an idiot, just hormonal. And trying too hard. I don't know how tall you are, but it doesn't seem like you're eating enough. 1100 calories? No wonder you're always thinking about food. You need to fuel your body, especially if you're biking and walking everyday. Take a deep breath, slow down, eat more, move more,…

Now I have calf envy. ;)
-
LMAO! :D

Yes, you can gain 20 pounds in 7 months, easy. Once you make up your mind to get off the high blood pressure meds, it will happen. Don't give up, take it one day at a time. Keep moving forward. I've found that being active is helpful for depression and getting off the high blood pressure meds. win/win. Good luck, you can…

I'm also a small person with very big calves. I love 'em, I worked hard for them. And because of them I can power up any hill, on foot or bike. Embrace the power of the calves, I say! (Out of curiosity I just measured and they're 14 inches, is that big?)
-
I love thrift stores! I bought a whole new wardrobe for 70 bucks! Isabelle, I can so relate to your situation. I have to remind myself to take days off. I hurt myself a few weeks back doing deadlifts, I can not let that happen again. The worst part was I knew it was self inflicted, I should have known better. It's hard to…

I use "naked PB", order it from Amazon. It doesn't have any sugar.
-
Isn't that the fun part of losing weight? Don't buy too much, because before you know it you'll need even smaller sizes! ;) Weather here is sleeting and grey, I'm going to try and get in some extra exercise minutes to help out. Hope everyone is having a good morning.
-
Isabelle, I feel so sad for you, have you tried soaking in a hot bath, maybe a massage? Being injured is the worst, please take it easy and give yourself time to heal. No need to drop out.

Just getting a minute to catch up on posts. Cheryl, Gayle and Melissa, such an accomplishment, you guys look amazing! And Lulloa, hoping you're staying safe. I'm trying hard to log minutes at the end of the day, so as not to make this too difficult for you Leanne, thanks for all the work you're doing. I feel a bit guilty…

I usually have an omelet every morning. I use whatever veggies I have, sometimes add cheddar or cottage cheese. Fresh basil and tomatoes are my favorite. Also I always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge, good for an easy, on the go, protein packed snack.

Just getting a minute to check in, I'm so happy for all of you losers! berylw49, gawworthingt, and Leanne. so exciting. I'm afraid I'm having a bad weekend, trying to keep logging, but I'm feeling stretched a bit. Making a huge dinner tonight and have dessert and bread in the oven. I was not able to get to the gym this am,…

I've been walking daily & somedays get two walks in. I love that the weather is changing, can feel that warmer weather & spring is here! It's been pretty windy but the sun is shining & the sky is a beautiful blue. [/quote] Isn't it so nice to feel Spring in the air?
