PMS symptoms have reduced to quarterly - ate a Wonderbar Wednesday,cried listening to a song, little irritable too. Restarting MFP with 17 of the 25lbs I…

Hi there - due to my husband's gluten intolerance we have been experimenting. My favourites are home made gf cornbread - tostada - wild rice cakes - romaine or lettuce - sliced apple for cheese or nut butter. Not a big fan of the purchased gf bread products because of the starches and the way they make me feel. There is…

The Glass Slipper was sold out by the time I was able to register but I did get to register for all 3 events. I ran the Goofy in 2013, the whole reason I wanted to start…

Now here is a fun goal!!! It also reinforces next time I see a woman in a bathing suit or bikini to celebrate her courage

Hi delicupid, congratulations on your decision. I would recommend speaking to your doctor first, they should be able to recommend a nutritionist or even provide you with the appropriate number of daily calories to ingest and healthy menu planning. Your doctor will also be able to tell you if you may start exercising even…

Hi there I understand I had to be careful with my youngest & 2 grandsons are lactose intolerant. Hope there is something here that helps. Have you tried making oatmeal with almond milk? also eggs are good protein so like a spinach salad or bacon and eggs. I like beans: black beans, chickpeas, lentils - add to rice or greek…

I am a potato chip and white cheddar popcorn addict. If life is cruising along I maintain portion control - bored or stressed and do not get between me and the bag. Actually bored or stressed or emotional nothing is safe, need a project. Before Christmas we made paving stone penguins and minions kept me out of the pantry.…

Good morning - I want to congratulate you all on your success so far. I was too late to join your challenge but hope you run another on you are very inspiring, thank you.

I do not drink but sugar, stress, caffeine and red meat are triggers for me too. Sage capsules , yoga and exercise definitely have reduced, almost completely gone, my flashes and night sweats. If I do not exercise the flashes are back within 24-48 hrs. For the freezing dressing in layers and having an small blanket on my…

I do most of what is suggested herbal tea, warm milk or almond milk, bath, go for a walk or eat. For me I have to make sure my snacks are protein and carb. 6 almonds or 4 walnuts with 4 dried apricots - apple with cheese or almond butter - cottage cheese & tomato - chopped veggie & hummus. The protein helps slow down the…

I just had quick and easy chana masala from the Oh she glows cookbook. I just googled it and the recipe shows up for you (website was vegan yumminess) - I did not have cumin seeds used ground cumin1 1/2 teaspoon and did not have a chile pepper. YUM!

Congratulations!!! You must be so proud. Thank you for the inspiration

If you have a chance speak to a holistic nutritionist - we are fortunate that both our health food stores have one. There are certain vegetables and fruits that cause inflammation. I have worked with people who found eating low GI and eliminating processed sugar and processed food, this includes packaged gluten free…

Welcome Simon !!! Great job with the preparation - as they say plan for success.

Congratulations on picking such a great goal. I agree on your long training runs eat the same breakfast you will have run day and use the same fuel and fuel frequency. I also have oatmeal,1T nuts & 1/2 a banana or blueberries prior to a long run. On my training runs that are more then an 1hr 15min I fuel every 45 minutes.…

I guess it depends on why you think you are 30lbs heavy. For me my weight/shape and fitness level is preventing me from doing things and wearing things I love. That has more impact then a scale. Actually just bought a scale for this plan. For me illness (no running or strength training 15 months) and hormonal changes…

Hello I am 47 and have 25-30lbs to lose also. I do not have a scale but according to my clothes biggest I have been. Thanks to perimenopause, hormonal changes blah,blah,blah I would be interested in supporting and being supported.

Hi - I can tell you a few things that worked in my house. Couple of questions first - Would you prefer to cook or buy healthy? If cook do you have a day during the week that you would be able to prepare some food for your freezer so that you can grab quick healthy ? It would make your life much easier. When I introduced…
