I used to be ok with it for 3-4 months, but we have it for at least 6 and it was getting old. I just learned to ski this season and it's made it much more enjoyable. I'm actually a little misty thinking about it all melting away in a couple of months!

I've found that a blueberry/avocado smoothie is a great breakfast. I also like the baked oatmeal muffins I've seen on pinterest lately. We add walnuts and unsweetened dried cranberries.

I used this site for all 3 of our kids. It breaks it into ages too. http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com

Do it!! We don't buy bread, and haven't for almost a year. I have a bread maker and start it up at night before bed, I wake up to fresh bread every 3-4 days. I use this easy, good recipe. 1.5c. all purpose flour 1.5c. whole wheat flour 0.5 c. oats 1.25c. water 2 TBS. EVOO 3 TBS. brown sugar 1 tsp. salt 1.5 tsp. yeast I…

I've found the same thing. Now I scan in my own food as much as possible, and double check compared to the containers if I have to. The calories burned are always off for me too, but like someone else said, I bust my butt and use a 15% incline on the treadmill so I'm burning more than if it were set to 0. I always use the…

I've only tried a couple. I prefer the cookies and cream muscle milk. Like someone else said, it's not low cal, esp. mixed with FF milk, but I need the carbs anyway. If you have fewer cals to use, it's not bad with water instead of milk. I bought the cookies and creme isopure zero as well. I don't like it for drinking, but…

Awesome job!!

Smokin'! I mean... that's so gross, she's totally a dude now... :blushing: WTG Yo!

Yup, 3. The older ones are almost 7 & 6, they are 13 months apart. Our "baby" just turned 2.

I'm doing kickbacks and extensions... and chest presses and rows (both a machine and bent. Dips make my shoulders crack in ways that I've concluded can't be healthy.

My problem was snacking when it was nap time. It killed me. And finding a quick dinner after the kids came home (they go to bed at 7, but we start getting ready at 6:30 so it has to be something fast when DH gets home). We ended up with pizza or chicken nuggets or hot dogs on far too many nights. Honestly, I stopped buying…

This is exactly why I hid from the gym for so long (dx GAD). It's also the reason I selected a small gym affiliated with a local hospital (all age ranges of people, and abilities range from the elderly just walking or riding a stationary bike to meatheads). What I've found is that nobody REALLY cares what you're doing as…

GENIUS!

I'm lactose intolerant too and have been ok with Muscle Milk. I just ordered some Isopure Zero Carb today and that has Whey Protein Isolate. It won't be delivered to me for a couple of weeks, but I found it was cheaper on Amazon so I'll wait it out. I'll update you when I try it out!

I can only say what's been working for me. I've been doing a mix of all 3 things, diet (25% off my TDEE), strength training, and cardio. I'm keeping an eye on my weight loss and will adjust my calories as I decrease my BMI. I've only been doing all of this for less than a year though, and have just recently started to make…

I do! When I first joined, I was doing 1200 like MFP said to... but then I read. I've adjusted my calories up and eat what I exercise (or as much of it as I can). This morning I had a muscle milk shake with ff milk for breakfast... on my way out the door with a screaming toddler. I figured it was better than nothing. I AM…

WOWZA!! Way to go!! Years added to your life and appearance. You look fantastic!

This! My PT gave me a set of things to do and, as it turns out, most of it is stretching and pilates moves.

I use the results from my treadmill... I type in my weight and it has a HRM. I've found that it's more accurate than the website.

Yes! I had just said this to my husband over the weekend. He looked at me like I was crazy.

More suggestions?? There are great ones so far. I'm also trying to use it more, especially as a dinner side.

I do one that's similar... adding whatever particular spices/seasonings will pair best with the main dish.

bump! Thanks for this idea!

I'm 30, my birthday is also in May, and I'm 157. I'd like to lose the same amount too!

I'm a creamer addict. I don't actually like black coffee. I love the smell, but the taste makes me want to chuck. I was using a double serving of creamer and having 2-3 cups a morning. I've stopped. I'm now drinking loose tea. I use the mate teas from Teavana in the mornings for the caffeine and others later in the day to…

I have a single square of cadbury dark chocolate if I REALLY need it. 1 is really all I need since it's so rich.

Haha! My husband just asked what was so funny. LOVE it!
