That's wonderful! Way to go!!!!

I can't make it to the gym at all so I work out at home. I have a heavy bag and that really helps be decompress from a stressful day. Even if I only hit it for 20 minutes, it's a great work out. And usually after that, I'm all pumped to do some rope work or sit ups. Hang in there. You'll feel great once you get going!

Having friends can def help. I used to count calories on a phone app but it's not like this. Here you get to hear the attaboys! and cheers. It's much different. I would also like to build my circle. Anyone who would like to add me, please do!

Sounds great! I'm in for 170! I am officially 174.6 lbs!

I like to make turkey meatballs and spaghetti. The kids love it! 1 pkge lean ground turkey (some already come seasoned) 1/2 c. seasoned bread crumbs wheat spaghetti Large can of stewed tomatos 1 clove garlic minced 1 med onioin chopped Italian seasoning to taste Take the turkey in a bowl and add the bread crumbs. Roll them…

Yum! Unfortunately, my husband doesn't eat pork, but I do. I'll make them and eat them!

Cool LittleLisa! Always wanted to visit San Fran and I will with the kiddies one day!

Congratulations! That is so wonderful. You are an inspiration.

I used to do Krav Maga. It was a blast. My schedule doesn't allow me to go back, but I crave it!

I'm in the High Desert near Las Vegas. We should be taking a trip that way this summer. Should be great!

I really dig salmon. My fave was going to a costco or Sam's club and buying a big jar os Asian spices. Throw some of that on the Salmon and bake. It is Yummy, Yummy YUMMY! Throw it on a bed or bronw rice and some steamed veggies and you are good to go! A more adventurous (and not as light) is a salmon panang. For those who…

I have three kids and I have to say my fave is the blueberry-strawberry desert. YUMMY! I may have to pick a few of those jars up. :laugh: But welcome and I hope you find the support you need to meet your goals!

Are you on the west coast, Kas? I'm in Cali, too!

I haven't sung in a while, at least in front of an audience, Cherokee. I had a medical procedure which shortened my range, but I understand what you're saying about letting it all flow through you. Thanks for the input!

My husband is going through the same thing. He has alwys been stalky, but he recently went from about 180 to 225 pounds. He's not a very tall guy so you can really see the difference. I love him very much and really didn't see the weight gain until we looked at a few older pics of each other. What a shock that was. I have…

My non-fat latte is about 210! I'm going to have to go back to drip brew. Even if I add the full fat flavored creamer, it's still WAY less than the latte. Oh well. It's a great way to save about 100 cals!

3 egg whites 1/2 c. tomatoes 1/2 c. onions 3 or 4 slices of green bell peppers 1/2 slice low-fat swiss cheese Low fat toasted English muffin Cook the eggs with a fe sprays of Pam. Toss in the onions and tomatoes until only slightly soft. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Place the mixture on half the toasted muffin top…

I'm going to be starting this with my hubby tomorrow. Our 5K is a muddy run still several months away, but we wanted to get as much training in as possible. This will be a challenge but we are up for it!

I'm pretty n ew here too, and let me say everyone here has made me feel very welcomed. I too am trying to navigate my way through all of this, but it seems like a happy journey. Good luck to you and I know I will see you succeed!

Without the butter it's guacamole! :wink:

Welcome!

WOWzers! You did so great! I hope to be able to come close to that! Keep it up!

I don't travel, but job also has long hours and is very stressful. I know I have fallen prey to the same situation time and time again. I too hope to be able to stop it at MFP. I have the support of my hubby and the community and so do you! Lots of luck and I know you will be successful.

I agree that you have to make sure to lose it for the right reasons, otherwise, it will come back. I've been there countless times. Keep your head up.

Awesom! Hope it's working for you!

My bro has diabetes so I know how hard it can be to keep the diet under control. I'm new here as well, but it seems like a very friendly community with a lot of encouragement. Lots of luck and let me know how it goes.

Have you tried to change up your routine? Sometimes your body becomes accustomed to your workout and you need to do something a little different. I struggle with this, too. I have seen some results by using the 30-Day Shred and mixing in some jogging and cardio three times a week. On the weekends I try to do something…

How funny. Mando is my husband's name and my friend is diong the AMRC 5K tomorrow, too! Good luck to you both. You are a real inspiration!

YAY!!!!!

Thank you. My asthma has held me back. I had a very bad on two years ago that landed me in the ICU with two collapsed lungs. I think I'm really ready for this. Next on my list: Krav Maga!
