Hi..I am jingoace on COTH & MFP. My name is jan, and I have about 30# to lose. My goal is 150# by Christmas, but it is terribly frustrating to not see any losses, and even gains. I ride one horse several times a week, and work with other horses on the ground daily... probably 4 hours a day, every day. Every time I try to…

I've never liked the agave necter stuff. It seems too sweet to me. Maybe that is just my tastebuds being picky? IDK. I use the packets of "Stevia in the Raw" - comes in a little green box, & you can find them at any Albertsons store. Zero calories, and easy to carry a packet in my pocket if I'm going out. I add them to my…

Um...some people lose on the JM 30 day shred. I did it in Sept & did not lose. I am committed to doing it again, and am currently on day 16 and am GAINING. I don't think I will do the 30ds again for weight-loss... it does do a dang good job of TONING your upper body... but not fantastic for weight-loss, Just imho. Also 2 #…

By using the "Search" function, in the regular mssg boards, you can learn aLOT of info in a short period of time. imho, :) J

Christmas - lots of "Homer" gifts... but I LOVE my new "BodySock"!, and bag o bungie cords, and poop-scooper rake-heads, & barn blower! LOL. Yeah, I'm an outside girl, for sure! Just thankful we can afford anything, ya know!

Hello fellow Nvy Blue Teammates! My name is Jan, and I am short one lung, and needing a new knee sometime soon. My goal is to be down to 150# by Christmas 2012. I've been riding horses, and walking to the lesly sansone's walk dvds recently. Need motivation to keep going sometimes. Let's make our Navy Blue Team a positive…

wow... all these good ideas made me try something with butternut squash today. And it was TASTY! Cut up 1 small butternut squash in slices. Removed seeds. Cut up 1/2 of a leek (middle white-ish section) Cut up 1/2 of a small potato. Put all items in a 1 quart saucepan with LOTS of water. Added a dash of olive oil, a shake…

Wow! These look GOOD. I definitely have to try these this weekend! Thanks for sharing!

Wow these sound Yummy! Thanks for sharing! :) J

Add me in... I want a Challenge group to participate in... details soon, Plz?

So very true, and simple. I like it!

cottage cheese & apricot slices

Group A: Friday - did 3 miles Saturday - have done 2 miles so far I think that totals 10 miles so far this week... only a few more to go! Getting there slowly, but getting there!

Ohh, add me too.... Group A for 15 miles. Completed 5 miles on Tues with Lesly Sansone's Walk at home dvd. This is a good challenge for me, it'll make me more accountable, cuz I WANT to get those 15 miles in! :) J

Soak your chicken breasts from an hour to 8 hours in the following, then grill them on the BBQ. 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice 1 TBSP Kikamon soy sauce, or Braggs liquid aminos 1 tsp Olive oil You can also soak your chicken in the above mixture, then dice it up and put it on bamboo skewers, intersperced with the cut-up…

o.k. - so I am a geek too, and yes, have weighed myself before & after an epsom salt bath, and I weighed LESS after a nice soak. So, I consider soaking a reward at the end of a tough day, and then get rewarded too. Just IMHO, of course. L( J

Oh Crap! Just more Used Horse Manure! I had my first vacation in 11 years last week - 10 days in Hawaii. Decided I wasn't going to worry about weight, we would be doing TONS of walking and biking and active stuff. We had a BLAST! However, when I got on the scale last night, I was UP by SIX pounds! This is just Craptastic!…

Got my weight logged on the spreadsheet this morning. A small loss, but better than gaining! :) J

Uumm... as others have said, you may want to have that knee xrayed or an MRI done of it. I HAVE a bad knee that needs to be replaced and yes they make that cruching/clunking noise. It is best to exercise on a bike, or in the pool... for the sake of the knee joint. You will develop compensating limb pain as your body tries…

CLEANING HORSE STALLS - I added to the MFP exercise log, so others can use it too. I put it in as about the same as raking leaves in terms of calories burned. Since I clean 5 stalls a day, I usually put in at least 30 minutes of raking morning and night, so I count that as exercise. Just thought some of you horsey peeps…

Rode my horse Mango this morning... lots of trot/canter w/o stirrups! I am dripping! Did Day 22 of 30 day shred - first time doing level 3 - WOW am I sweating again ... I damn well better be losing some weight here !!!! We'll see what the scale says tomorrow, when we weigh-in!

I finished day 17 of 30 day shred today. did level 1 for warm-up AND then did level 2 for the first time! Wow! Impressed that I could do the Level 2 w/o, and also how much it made me sweat! Keep on keeping on! :) J

9/9/11 Weight 176.8 Completed Day 17 & did BOTH level 1 AND level 2 today of JM 30 day shred. Wow! That got me sweating. I will get my 6 bottles of Water in today - so that is an accomplishment too! It seems like I am losing inches rather than weight, but I know the weight will start to melt off soon..... Off to ride a…

YEAH! I am on Day 16 of the 30-day Shred... I think I'm losing inches more than pounds! This document addy doesn't open for me? Is it the correct URL" Just double-checking... Thanks

Well, Wish I had the same wonderful successes as everyone else... but, I have been faithful, & just ain't losing. I think adding the 30day shred to my daily list if to-do things is helping, as is upping my calories, so the body isn't bordering on starvation mode. Don't know exactly WHY my body is holding onto this weight,…
