I'm not currently in RI but lived there for a while. It's my home away from home!

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. I will definitely remember this the next time I feel i "can't" do something. Congratulations on your well deserved success!

Munchkins are about the greatest thing ever. Too bad I only get to enjoy them every few years since moving to the West Coast where people don't know the greatness of DD.

I get the hunting thing...not for me, but if you want to hunt go for it. I don't, however, get hunting a White Rhino and suggesting that it somehow helps the very limited population of them left. Ask any African (my in-laws are from Kenya and I have been several times) what they think about "a great program and procedure…

I have this problem too! Bumping...

I tried something new this week that I'm enjoying. I cooked a bunch of whole wheat pasta on Sunday night and pack a container each night. I use 1 cup of pasta and add grilled chicken (2 oz), frozen veggies (fresh mushrooms, frozen broccoli, frozen sprouts....whatever I have) and a 1/2 of Prego light pasta sauce. It tastes…

Chipotle is my go-to on the go option, but be careful with their nutrition info. At least in my experience, they double what you estimate on the calculator. For instance, beans and rice are listed as a single serving (1/4 cup) but the location near me gives you double that. I usually ask that they give me half a normal…

I'm doing on this Saturday so this is a perfect post! Thanks for all the tips ;)

Bump! I'm sick of wraps and need some exciting ideas.

Congratulations! You look great! I would love some support and motivation, and I could use it!

You look amazing! Thank you for the inspiration. It's what I needed today.

Bay Area!

I juice every morning and love it! I used to be extremely tired every day around 2 pm and needed several cups of coffee in the morning. When I juice I don't get the mid-day sluggish feeling and just feel healthier all around. I tend to stick with 2/3 greens (spinach, kale, chard...whatever is in season) with a half…

BUMP! I have been wanting to make the switch to weights but can't get past the intimidation. Seeing this is great motivation! Plus I HATE cardio!

Bumping!

I have noticed that if stats from a previous sync are up it won't read correctly when you sync again. Try making sure you are on you home page and plug it in. That being said, my UP seems to be pretty inconstant so I take it's readings with a grain of salt, and never look at the calorie burn. I walked a mile, around a…

Love this post! Congrats on finding what works best for you...and your cookies!

You just wrote my own story! I actually started reading the boards after a 2 year hiatus in hopes of finding the motivation I need. I'm looking forward to what others have to say, but I'm sure most people say you just have to start and once you get into it the rest will follow.

I completely understand your pain and I'm in the same boat you are. I have been off MFP and off the fitness/diet charts for a few months now, and boy is it showing! I think I have gained about 10-15 pounds but I'm affraid to get on the scale and see it in writing. I'm trying to get motivated by looking at the boards and…

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds yummy! 1 cup nonfat cream cheese, at room temp 1 cup fresh raspberries Fresh raspberries to garnish 1.puree the raspberries in a blender until smooth. 2. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the puree reduces…

Great post! I REALLY needed to hear that about my NET calories. I have been eating 1500 a day, but I don't eat back my calories because I'm stuck in the head game. I hope I catch your posts after you next meeting!

I use the Women's FT4 and love it. No complaints at all. I got mine on ebay.

Speaking from experience, I LOVED working with a trainer who has once been overweight! She had lost 80 pounds and was by no means "skinny", but she was fit and new the mental blocks I was going through. She was the best support system I could have asked for. I think it helped me connect with her and she really knew how to…

What a wonderful message. Thank you.

Ditto! He protects and pushes me...best of both worlds.

I have never tried that! What do you substitute it for?

Lesson learned! I was hoping to save the extra 40 calories I would gain by eating non-fat, but now I see I'm 50g over on my sugar and it's not worth it! Hopefully they will let me exchange what I have for the real stuff. Never again!

I'm in the same boat. I can only do girly pushups on my knees and I would love to be able to grow up and do a real one at some point. I'm working out at home and just trying to build up my strength by doing what I can. At first I could do about 3 or 4, now I can do 10-12 per set and about 3 sets at a time.

I have a PT4 and I love it! You can't see it at all since I have a chest, and most of the time I forget I'm even wearing it. If I HAD to say something negative it would just be that you have to wet the strap before putting it on, but it's really not that big of a deal. It really motivates me to see where my heart rate is…

Congratulations! You look fantastic!
