:heart: LOVE the fruit and yogurt parfait.. LOVE IT.. I have to admit though, that even when I have the calories to eat there, I usually don't do it just b/c I know how bad it is... :grumble: I DO, however, go and get an Egg McMuffin for breakfast every once and a while.. I toss out the top half of the muffin.. only 230…

Hey there.. you can add me too please! 32 pounds so far.. 10 to go!

Congrats woman!! .. that's awesome.. I know you worked really hard and really stuck with it.. way to go! I've started and stopped several times.. I've found I really dislike doing pushups.. :grumble: for now, I'm focusing on my weight training and hopefully building up more strength so when I come back to this I won't hate…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Congrats Kerri !!! :flowerforyou: And thanks for being level headed and all of your great 'logical' posts.. slow and steady baby!! :glasses:

I LOVE rice crackers, hadn't thought of that... thanks for the tip!

I am a ZUMBA fanatic... I started taking the classes at my gym in August... :drinker: Ok, I am NOT one of those girls that in college was always looking for a dance floor.. I was always kinda self conscious (unless there was a good bit of alcohol involved, then that was a different story, but I digress :laugh: ). I was a…

I WUV U Banks! :smooched: This is perfectly stated... as usual! :glasses:

:sad: :sad: NUTELLA :sad: :sad: Dear Nutella: I love you dearly, but I cannot let you in my house. You call to me all day and night. You wake me up from a deep sleep. You whisper sweet nothings in my ear and tell me evil things like "You can just have a little bit".. "Measure out a tablespoon and then stop".. and when I…

I had the F4 and recently upgraded to the F6 because the signal on the F6 is encoded. This is important if you work out in a gym setting and don't want to get interference from others that might have HRMs. I do a lot of group exercise (ZUMBA, Body Pump, step, etc) and I was having a problem with all the other folks with…

ok.. here goes.. I posted these on another thread the other day, but I think that one must have died off... Before - this is about a year after my twins were born @ close to 200 lbs :sick: : Recent - about 12 pounds to go :drinker: :

found them at Sams today... 3 rings for about $7! :drinker:

Ok, I actually think I got this to work.. Before - this is about a year after my twins were born @ close to 200 lbs :sick: : Recent - about 12 pounds to go :drinker: :

UGH.. I am dreading this very thing.. :grumble: I have a Dr. Appt on Monday (before lunch though, so that should help)... I'm scared.. maybe I'll close my eyes and not look... :ohwell: although, I SHOULD be down almost 30 pounds since I was there 18 mos ago... :drinker: :smokin:

I am learning this also.. I am actually sick of the clothes in my closet because they are all black and I want to wear something with some COLOR!

Cauliflower mashers are like mashed potatoes, but made with cauliflower instead. There are a few different recipes on here for it.. some people use half and half with the cauliflower, some use fat free or reduced fat cream cheese.. next time I'm going to try Laughing Cow along with some garlic powder... :drinker:

I'm one of those people that 'saved' all my clothes from my younger days that I would 'fit back into' someday... :laugh: so, I've had some fun 'shopping' in my own closet.. although, some of the clothes are a little outdated (Forenza and Outback Red just aren't cutting it these days.. :laugh: :laugh: ).. anyway, I'm…

awesome.. so glad that people are finding out about this delicious snack!! YAHOO!! :drinker: I'm wishing I had packed some in my snacks today... :grumble:

mmmmm... having a wedge right now... so yummy... I'm totally addicted... :love:

This sounds fantastic.. can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!

OH YEAH.. with CAULIFLOWER MASHERS... AWESOME IDEA!

Well Welcome Fiona.. I was a lurker for quite a while too.. I still don't post a whole lot (hard for me to do from work), but when I see something worthwhile I chime in.. :flowerforyou:

awesome guys.. THANKS for the ideas.. I can't wait to try some of them and come up with all different kinds of things!!! That is, if I don't just end up eating them all plain! :love: ROCK ON! I think this might be my #1 discovery since making this lifestyle change!!!! Woo Hoo! (can you tell I'm excited)? :laugh:

:sad: :sad: NUTELLA!!!!!!!!! :sad: :sad:

OK.. so after hearing so much about Laughing Cow Cheese wedges from hungrygirl and others, I picked some up from the store the other day.. didn't get around to tasting them until now and OMG.. :noway: NO WAY this little wonderful cheese wedge is ONLY 35 FRICKIN CALORIES! :drinker: :smokin: I'm in Love :heart: So all you…

Well, I did my pushups on Friday but forgot to log them... Week 3, Day 2, Lev 2 +14 +19 +14 +14 +20 (min 19) ___ 81 I did these in the morning before getting ready for work.. kindof a mistake b/c my arms were all shaky when I tried to blow my hair dry! :laugh: I should have done Day 3 yesterday, but my arms were too sore…

I have 3 little ones and I would not be able to exercise if it weren't for the 'Kids Club' at my gym. It's a lifesaver.. my kids really enjoy going and it gives me 'no excuses' for not going to the gym. So, if it's possible, try finding a gym near you that is affordable and offers childcare while you workout? I know in my…

Congratulations Anna... :drinker:

Hi folks.. did my pushups last night.. girly style.. I did W3 D1 L2.. 12 17 13 13 17 (min 17) I did these at 11:00 at night after watching the biggest loser.. I thought they would inspire me, but I think I was just darn tired.. I did ZUMBA earlier in the night and I think I was just spent... :ohwell:

Congrats woman! :flowerforyou:
