I'm up and down and up a pound this week :( It is what it is but it'll be better next week!

Pride & Prejudice and Matt Smith are two of my favorite things but zombies? :noway:

That's really good stuff right there! I've started running again but have not returned to strength training after a bilateral mastectomy 1/13. I heard myself whining yet again this morning about how I don't have the upper body strength that I had pre surgery and finally decided to research which exercises I may be able to…

Every morning I eat a bowl of Oat Revolution Steel Cut Classic instant oatmeal by BetterOats with unsweetened original Almond Breeze almond milk instead of water. Mostly because I love it and it keeps me from eating something less healthy but also because the oatmeal and almond milk together are only 160 calories :)

I love blending my fruit and vegi's! My favorite is kale, spinach, cauliflower, carrots, a banana, mango and coconut oil for good fat with a cup or so of water. I like to keep it kinda chunky.

I adore Tom Baker but it's a toss up between David Tennant and Matt Smith for all time favorites. :heart:

I'm so sorry you are having to walk down this path :( I know hearing that cancer diagnoses can totally rock your world but I also want you to know there is hope! Try to surround yourself with positive people. I had this little group of cancer survivor cheerleaders and I can't emphasize enough how helpful that was. I…

This article was interesting......http://chriskresser.com/harmful-or-harmless-soy-lecithin "Phytoestrogens Soy is the greatest food source of phytoestrogens, and one group of researchers discovered significant estrogenic activity in soy lecithin. (15) Interestingly, none of the soy lecithin they tested contained genistein,…

Thanks!

This is the article that confused me http://www.dana-farber.org/Health-Library/Phytoestrogen-s-Role-in-Estrogen-Positive-Breast-Cancer-Patients.aspx?fb_action_ids=10202313274665227&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_ref=.UufnT-I32j0.like&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

I just use my regular blender :)

so much info that seemingly contradicts itself. Very frustrating.

This site is invaluable! Please feel free to add me!

You could wean yourself off sweetened coffee. I use 2 tablespoons of half n half but thats after using a little less sugar everyday until I was down to zero. I never thought I would be able to stand unsweetened coffee but you can train your tastebuds to enjoy just about anything.

Sounds delicious!

I had a lot of fun spending time with family today even though we were shopping for Patriots gear for my son ack!

I am with you on this! I see people complaining about totally cutting a certain food out of a diet but for some personalities, this is the best way to go. If I allow a little, the little becomes a little more, then a little more and so on. Cold turkey is the way to go for me. We are not all alike.

Breast cancer, triple positive

AMAZING!!!! What an inspiration!

Haha! After I lost my first 10-15 lbs I felt a knot on my leg as I was shaving one morning, starting to get upset I checked the other leg, there was a knot on that one too! Yep, u guessed it, they were bones that have been previously buried under fat! I love this journey!!

Wow!!! Awesome!!

Wow! Great job and stick-to-itiveness!

Thanks y'all!

Finished my FIRST 5k June 12 and will try to register for one race a month to keep me motivated.

When I began the c25k 9 weeks ago, I didn't think I would survive the first day of eight 1 minute intervals but June 12th I RAN my first 5k! My goal was to do it in less than 35 and we eked in at 34:12. I cannot tell you what a confidence booster that was but even if it would have taken an hour the point is I RAN the whole…

You've found the right site!

myfitnesspal is a great place for you to start! There are many helpful sections of this website. I have also utilized active.com (forums) as a help for the exercise part of my weight loss and fitness goals. I cannot even begin to tell you how good I feel just three months into it! Oh! It's also a good idea to surround…

Almost done with it. It's fantastic!!

I am in the last week of Get Runnings C25K program for the iPhone and let me tell you that it really works! On June 12, we will RUN our first 5K race thanks to C25K. The first couple of weeks were a huge struggle where I gasped for air just running in 60 sec increments but now I can actually run for 30 min at a time with a…

Distracting yourself is a great idea! But before you allow yourself to get a little somethin, somethin (candy bar) make sure that sugar is not one of your eating triggers (mine is white flour). Otherwise, a little somethin, somethin every now and again wouldn't hurt. You can do this!!!! Your goal is so attainable!!
