Welcome to StL!! Hope you are liking it still after your first year.

It's not bad. I usually put a tbsp or two of parmesean cheese in there to bring up the flavor a bit.

The audacity of that nurse!! What matters is you gave your daughter a safe and healthy place to live and grow for 9 months. She is absolutely beautiful! Focus on her and don't get yourself too worked up if the scale fluxuates over the next few weeks as you body 'recooperates' from being pregnant. You will have enough…

Just made a Oatmeal muffin....and not too shabby!! I'm at work, so did not have access to the egg beater and baking powder. I just added enough water to make a thick consistency and microwaved for 90 seconds. Probably don't let it sit long for after because it would get tough. But it had a muffin like consistency and…

Last night I took the Stuffed Pepper Soup and turned it into a Crock Pot Recipe. Amazing!! Crockpot Stuffed Pepper Soup Ingredients: 3 cups cooked brown rice 1 lb 95% lean ground beef 2 chopped green bell peppers 1 chopped red bell pepper 1 cup finely diced onion 3 cloves garlic, chopped 2 cans (14.5 oz each) cans petite…

I play ice hockey. One hell of a workout!!!

That's a great idea! I love making muffins out of the pancakes...never thought about it for the oatmeal too! I finally discovered yesterday that I have to knock down the power level to an 8 on my microwave though or else it boils over.

Going to try the soup tonight....

I don't lift heavy but love having yoga in my routine at least once a week. Depending on what kind of practice you are doing it should greatly support all the other work you are doing. Focusing on posture, breath, being comfortable with the limits of your body, and working in terms of space rather than set weight and rep…

It won't matter if you are an a-hole it not. In my head, you have already been stripped down and not much talking is needed. ;)

Outside of enjoying a bowl full of Greek yogurt with fresh fruit, sliced almonds and local honey while watching the new sun rise over the beach on a Greek island.....Fage is the best you can get state-side.

The Oatmeal consistency is definitely sad. Depending on the day, I sometimes do the Maple & Brown Sugar or Apple & Cinnamon for my 2nd meal of the days. It's not the best but I can eat it while I am distracted and reading emails at work. For the eggs, try to mix in the water and let it sit in the fridge about an hour…

Congratulations on your success and the moves to make your live overall better. Not only do you look amazing, but your emotional intelligence to be in a healthy home and make supportive friends are things that will enable you so soar to the greatest heights life will present you.

Those might be my next fitness purchase.

Wow! Size 8, congrats tgibbons!! I can't wait to see that number again...it's been since high school. Diana, sounds like you are back on the right track now. I'm sorry to hear about the family crisis. How are you liking everything so far? Have you found ways to help make some of the blah foods more flavorful? I applaud you…

Thanks ladies. Overall I've lost 23 lbs doing Medifast. Appreciate the input on the protein luv2ash. I've stuck to the diet much better with hitting 1200 calls before exercise. Especially on days where I'm burning 600+ calories, I couldn't survive long enough to chase my boys around the house after work! Artesmisa, how…

I have a BOB and love it! I started with the regular stroller and it is a world of difference. Go to Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, or whatever other stores that have a large selection near you and test em out.

I play in a women's league here in StL and LOVE IT!!!! I started a few years ago when I was looking for something fun and different to get some exercise. Played in an outdoor co-ed league last night with 17 min non-stop periods. Burned 594 cals! Next weekend I'm headed to Vegas for 4 days for a tourney. It's going to be…

bump.

Effing go for it!! What's the worst the happens? He says no. It's not like you are going to go out with this guy again anyway. What's the best that happens? You and this other guy hit it off and live happily ever after. Don't protect the DB's feelings and go for it. The facebook stalking idea isn't bad either.

Yup!

Dark eyes!

I was in the best shape of my adult-hood and got pregnant with twins...eeek!! Being in the good shape I was definitely gave me the physical strength to have a very healthy pregnancy. I didn't workout except for walks at my doctors advise. I begged...but no running or strenuous exercise because I was considered high risk. I…

I love how the sides of your lips turn up with the progress through the 3 pictures of you. Congratulations!!! You will absolutely get there and think how amazing that smile is going to be in the goal picture!

Hair & color. Very pretty!

Eyes

Fluffy!!

I'm 5'7". I ran two half marathons weighing over 200. Running is very hard on your body if you have bad form, try to start too fast, and set out to do a 5K on your first run. That being said, C25K is wonderful to start. You can absolutely run and learn how to do it well so you are pain free and enjoy your time hitting the…
