I saw an acquaintance, the other day, and she very quietly asks, "did you have surgery?" I said "NOPE!" she asks, "what did you do?" I said "calories in, calories out!" "I count every calorie that goes in m mouth and I work out an hour to an hour and a half every single day!" she said "OH" "well you look great!" like it…

I just posted a Mexican Lasagna on my daily cooking blog a week ago! It was really good and gobbled up by the family! It was with ground beef but you certainly can use ground turkey. My cooking blog can be found by going to www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65 and like I said I think it was 7-8 days ago.

On the hungry girl episode today, on the cooking channel, she mixed it with a tablespoon of salsa and served it on one of the large, plain, rice cakes. I thought that looked fabulous and will be trying it this week especially since I just recently found Newmans Own salsa that is like 30 calories for 2 tablespoons and 65mg…

When I first started, over 100 pounds ago, all I could manage was some light walking for maybe 15 minutes. I had feet that were so sore all the time, from my weight, and it was pretty hard to make myself accomplish that, plus getting winded easily. I just plugged at it day after day, month after month, and as I "felt" I…

Chaste berry, or chaste tree, is something I have been taking for almost two years, when I first began to have what could have been symptoms. I have NO symptoms now, at all. Maybe low energy but that is more when it is TOM time, or could even be from the workouts that I do. But this even says, on the bottle, "supports…

Well I highly doubt that the sight creators are peri-menopausal so they can only site the same things that you can find on a google search. BUT, I was 44 1/2 when I started my journey, in January of last year, turned 45 in August, so will obviously be 46 this August, and am more than likely peri-menopausal. (was actually…

I do a daily cooking blog of just that, healthy recipes. I post the original recipes and any changes that I have made to make it better. My blog is at www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65 I am cooking Broccoli and Chicken Noodle soup, right now, and it will be going on my blog later this afternoon.

I am pretty sure that if you wanted to get RIGHT DOWN TO IT we could find something WRONG with a good portion of things that we put into our mouths. It doesn't stop me from eating them and I will tell you, it is a lot better than eating regular ice cream. Enjoy your treat Angela4Health.

Love those, but I love all of the Skinny cow ice cream bars/cones

It's actually ready-set-cook.com, but I don't know if that is the one the original poster posted about because that is a cooking lesson sight.

I just recently found Newmans Own organic salsa, in my grocery store, and to my SUPRISE 1 tablespoon is only 10 calories and 65mg of sodium! AWESOME! So I have been using it on everything, eggs included.

Rice cakes are not to expensive for snacks! Chicken breasts can be used for a ton of things! You can rub different Mrs. dash seasonings on them, cook them in a pan, cool, chop up and use for tacos, salads, sandwiches, in a quick chili, with some pasta, and many other things! 1 package is 3-4 dollars and can easily get 3-4…

Well I have lost just over 100 pounds and back when I started I had all of the same issues! I also went through several pairs of shoes! THE ONLY shoe I could wear, and still do, was the skechers shape up fitness. These are one of the newer ones and don't have the higher heel like the first series of shape ups did. BUT I…

This is fantastic and nice to see a post like this! What a wonderful journey you will both have, together, and what a valuable lesson that you have learned. If you can not be accountable to yourself, through this process, it is going to be a hard fought journey. Being accountable to yourself is something I talk about to my…

I haven't tried it myself, but in one of my recent issues of Healthy Cooking magazine the staff there tried it so they could do a story about it. The results: Nothing! They lost maybe a pound each, but the second they were done with the couple of weeks they tried it, it was back on. Products are good and will aide in…

I posted a healthier version of Lemon Chiffon pie, on my daily cooking blog, on 2/27. You can check out my blog at www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65. I took this to a potluck, that day, and it was well received, especially since it was a potluck for a college hockey team that certainly does NOT count their calories or…

I am actually waiting for some new bars, to be delivered, by Luna! Luna has three new Protein bars, made specifically for women! Don't know if that is what you wanted to hear but I thought I would throw it out there.

I take a Kettle Bell class twice a week and I also do it on my own once a week. I have only been at it for three weeks now, but I can tell all of my back/shoulder muscles are getting stronger and I am beginning to see definition in some areas. The class I take incorporates cardio into it and so you are getting both a good…

I have been doing a kettle bell class twice a week, just did a muscle pump class, for the first time last week, also did a hip hop hustle class for the first time, last week, and a turbo kick class for the firs time tonight! I really enjoy each of them and will make them all part of m weekly routine! Le me tell you the…

Let me just say FIRST, I am 100% honest in my food diary and TWO except for a weekend out of town and my annual vacation I have NEVER gone over in my calories and even then it was not by a lot, nothing like 5 slices of pizza. Now with that said, my food diary is private to the public but open to my friends and that is only…

Sorry, not active! My husband is retired Air Force and I was in the Air Force for 11 years before I got out so we could be together!

Merecury Mountaineer for me and I LOVE IT!

The creep that posted is gone everyone, deactivated! He/she got what they wanted by posting that and slithered away just like every snake, so mute post now!

Love the book myself! Use it all the time! You can get it at amazon.com or at the taste of home website and there are actually two versions! Check the copyright as the latest one is the best!

"cleaning up the place" is the job of Mike and Banks, the creators and moderators, with the help of those that report posts that need to be reported!

As of the first of the year I have been getting them weekly, yes! Let me tell you that I notice quite a difference when I ge them. I feel so much better, I feel my workouts are better, and it improves my attitude even more! My massage therapist has taught me a lot about the benefits of massage and releasing toxins from…

I have a daily cooking blog that I post my dinner on. I cook every single day and I cook pretty healthy, good meals. I started this because a lot of my friends would ask about my dinners when I would close out my food diary every night. So, take a look at it, I have been doing it since the year began so a couple months…
