I gained and became VERY discouraged. I have decided the best for me is to measure because the scale just "does me wrong". However, I still get on it many days and just scoff at it. My legs look better, My clothes fit better and I am stronger....but the scale...it shows me no help. Hasnt SINCE I have joined- months ago. DO…

Even if I feel tired, low energy, mentally low, etc I ALWAYS feel better after I exercise. It is a mental trick that sometimes our minds play and I have to sometimes remind myself.... You ALWAYS feel like you have more energy after you exercise so go do it! I am trying to remember these words of wisdom and not listen to…

thanks for sharing this- this was really kind of you. I will try to fill it out and think about it myself.

Yep so after posting about my relationship yesterday, I had a long talk with him on the phone and pretty much broke up. I would like to still stay friends with him- but not sure how that ever really works out. I feel like there is a pit in my stomach and I am just sad. I really really enjoyed his company but his hang ups…

thanks a lot!! I really miss having good girlfriends around for perspective! It is funny because I know how I would respond if one of you posted it but for some reason because it is me it feels like I am causing too much of a scene or making a big deal out of it. :flowerforyou: Thanks a lot!

The night before I work out I put 1/4-1/3 a cup in a mug with a little protein powder and then fill it with almond milk (any kind of milk would do) and sitr it once and then leave it in the fridge. It is a perfect consistency in the morning and I can either warm it up or eat it on the go. No cooking needed!

No kids. They were divorced a little over a year. Separated for two years I feel prety :embarassed: posting this on here but I honestly am just at a bit of a loss and wanted some perspective.....

yeah- throw it out. Food poisoning would really be terrible!

So I just want to throw this out here and see if anyone has any advice for me about it. And I am writing about it because I realize that it is eating me up a bit. My boyfriend of 4 months still does things with his ex-wife and they are still friends. They sometimes go out to eat, they do a volunteer radio show together,…

Thanks for the recipie- I love that it doesn have any sugar in it and has fiber!

Im in- I am going to measure and do the scale so that I dont get hooked on the scale. I am doing weigths and notice that the scale doesnt always move with progress. But I am in!

if you are feeling like you want a cookie- WOWbaking.com is giving them away....not sure if this is something you want to have but my free cookie is coming soon and I will just plan it in. I eat a lot of brown rice wraps which I can find in large health food stores. GF companies are trying to increase fiber in the items…

mmmm crossiants...... What about one of the press sandwiches that you have with veggies and tuna OR I also have the same situation and I sometimes bring a ice pack with me and a little bag cooler. I also bring cut up veggies, frozen grapes (I eat these and use them as ice), crackers, a few slices of cheese, some nuts, OR…

I have celiac and would just put in a little warning because this happened to me.... I felt so deprived thinking i couldnt have things I wanted that I ate a lot of GF junk food in the beginning and had to take charge of my diet and start eating more nutritionally and less empty calorie GF items like cookies, etc. I wish…

M,W,F split sets strength session about 45-50 min (with warm up and cool down)- yoga evening M,W T, TH- cardio 50 min (slower pace in fat burning zone) Sat or Sun hike or bike Getting out there- moving and trying different things is an awesome feeling.

I does not taste like POI- I had poi both sweet and salty and never ever could get my head around people eating it. I like taro chips but no poi for me! I havent thought about poi in a while....I moved from Hawaii about 4 years ago~

WOw- I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. Use that feeling to fuel your mission to lose the weight- dont let it put you back in the old way of doing things. When something happens that confirms all the terrible (and some true) things that I tell myself in my head- like i cant fit into some clothes or when something…

For the US- It may be fun for you to try and fun city like Portland or San Fran or even Santa Monica CA A lot depends on you..... Do you want to have a car or not What are your weather issues (sounds like heat is one of them) Do you want seasons Do you want a place with lots of young people a nightlife? Do you like…

Yeah it has to be a lifetsyle or when the scale doesnt give you a loss one week, or two weeks or even 5 weeks- you wont give up because it is just the way you live. That is why you need to include the foods you want to eat in your life so that this wont be a diet. It is about a mindset and then a plan. Life for me, I…

The chest strap transmits the heart rate- without it there is no heart rate on the watch so no calories are counted- only the time

yep - Agree. I pack my clothes for work in the car the night before, pack up all my food for the day so I juts get outta bed and off to the gym. MWF lifting. I write it all down on notecards and see my progress with weights. Even when it is hard to get out of bed in the morning- I ALWAYS feel awesome afterwards. It is a…

that is awesome- way to go!

store it in the fridge if you buy it ground- Ground flax will go ransid very quickly! You can also use in baked goods instead of eggs. 1T in 3 T water. The texture of the baked good will be slightly different but I really like it. Add over yogurt for a nutty taste to the yogurt or oatmeal! Also hemp seeds are awesome in…

Thanks everyone. I got a haircut to try and feel a little better and believe it or not that helped. I am just going to continue to be patient and see my dr and yep- I did hire and trainer and nutritionist to help me out as well. It was a 12 week package but I think it may give me the boost I need. Funny though, yesterday…

denmother- you look great- Way to go- your arms are an inspiration to me!

peel them, freeze them and make banana ice cream from them or add cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder and some berries and make a great ice cream concoction with no excess calories. i am allergic to dairy so I have done this is the past and it works really well. Just whirl them around in a high powered blender or food…

hmm- this is interesting- do you do this?? BTW, I really just want to say thanks as well. It is so sweet of you to be concerned about my post. This whole thing has been a bit of a lonely and daunting exp at times, but I did hire a trainer to help me out today. I filled out a form about myself and will keep you posted on…

I love chai tea (the tea bag not the mix) with some steamed milk and froth on top (I use almond milk)! Perfect each time. If you want it sweet you can add a little Stevia to it.

Happy Birthday!! I found it happening in my 30's so you have plenty of time to enjoy! And to build muscle to ward it off! Enjoy your day! And dont forget to make a wish.

ha!!! that is really funny!!!
