I would suggest taking your maiden name back. I did when I got divorced and it was definitely the right decision. It may be a hell of a lot of work but worth it! And my current bf knew my ex and he likes it better that I am back to my maiden name!

I have been being bad this past week or so. I tend to eat well in the beginning of the day, but then i go crazy, go over, and dont log things. I had enough. Im starting over tomorrow. Its been 135 days since i joined, but with my inaccurate logging i am letting the ticker start over. Tomorrow is a new day and ill be back…

I use it in my shakes and would probably try baking or as suggested in yogurt as dip, but i did mix it up and try it on bread and ill just stick to Jif for that!

I didnt so much care for it, nor do i care for Diet D.P. really. I'll stick to the occasional Diet coke.

Interesting. Not sure i would try it tho. Maybe my bf would. He loves dipping his PB toast in either Chocolate milk or spaghetti-o's

um...eww. LOL. im a little sick just reading this.

I have seen a lot of shorter dresses for prom, so go for it!! And ENJOY!!

I definitely am. I outweigh him by 40 lbs i think. He has no problem with my size, but i do, I want to be smaller than him for sure! He has a lot to lose (says him), but i wouldnt change him a bit!

Working out while i have cramps is the best thing ive learned. It takes lots of will power to get my going but then cramps are gone and i feel wonderful, til im done and cramps come back, to bad i cant just workout the whole time i have my period lol

Ill be nicer than i was to Jen, I told her my bday was st urho's day which sent her to google (<3 ya Jen :) ) but mine is march 16, 1987 :)

Me, me, me!!

Thanks for this my dear! I was feeling really down and discouraged today and this helped!! And you look absolutely amazing!! Cant wait til that's me.

You could try Freecycle. I see things on there a lot about clothing being given away or needed due to weight loss.

I have been having this issue as well, with toning exercise classes, I am engaging a lot more muscles and getting a much better burn, but my HR is not getting in the zone so i am not burning more calories, or am i? My HRM says i am burning half the calories that MFP says. I would think i am burning more than my HRM says…

Thanks. A few classes i do at my gym are meant for toning and so in 60 mins i feel like i did a hell of a lot more than 60 mins on the elliptical or bike, but my calories burned are way less. My concern is it doesn't include the muscles engaged just the HR. I have no problem with the accuracy of cardio machines as they are…

I have heard a lot of people suggest (if you do both in the same session) to do lifting then cardio.

Great poem!!

Thanks for the post!! Early detection is key!! My grandma (62) was diagnosed with breast cancer in June of this year and just finished Chemo and now on to radiation! Im only 24 but now i am going to be super aware of my "breast health" Thanks again!

I am always over my protein! Nothing to worry about.

A few gas stations here i have seen are "in-n-out" and "pump and munch" Also i call walmart. Hell-mart (cuz i work there lol) or Hell for short.

Sounds good, going to try this soon!

I go to a pool toning class 1 hr/day 3 days a week, a general toning class 1 hr/ day 1 day a week, 20-30 mins of cardio (4-5 times a week (working on upping that this month) and have done strength training 30 min/day 3-4 days a week (but took a break from that to increase my cardio) I was lacking cardio but i could always…

agreed!

I dont know what the poundage of a stone is but dont hope, KNOW you can do it!

my usually snacks i choose from are Lowfat yogurt with straberries and banana (or blueberries) with granola. String cheese (either low fat or lower sodium colby jack with fruit. Almonds and fruit (usually grapes or kiwi). Baby carrots. Stila oat clusters. Apple with PB. sometimes a piece of PB toast or Cinnamon sugar…

Awesome.... if someone bought it for me.... Its kinda spendy. maybe if i had a desk job and was actually sitting down most of my day, which thankfully i am not. Neat chair tho!
