  • Return to mfp and start logging me food again
  • #2. I'm not on big on platforms though so I'm biased.
  • :laugh: So true!! And yes, that's sad!
  • My goal this week is to cut back on the chocolate, deal with my stress differently and ideally to not be so tired. It might sound like a simple goal but it's hard for me. I'm going on a girl's night on Thursday night to a super yummy place. I barely go out and I will be soon moving away so this is our good-bye evening.…
  • Me, too!:smile: I'm struggeling with loosing, I'd be soo happy to loose 10 pounds. It can't be that hard, can it???? Let's do it together!
  • It was probably already said but what about putting on some fun music and dancing? I can't feel crappy when I dance. And watching my 3 year old dance is even more therapeutic!!! Also this might sound weird but I'll put it out there. My son loves to be tiggeled and has the biggest smiles on his face ever, combined with…
  • Thanks! This is so encouraging, especially as my eating is less than ideal. Awesomoe job for working on it!
  • I'm in. I've started it a few times but never completed it so far either. Let's push ourselves and each other and finish it!
  • I totally need this!! Starting weight (July 16): 165.8 1st week weight (July 23): 2nd week weight (July 30): 3rd week weight (August 6): 4th week weight (August 13): 5th week weight (August 20): 6th week weight (August 27): Total Weight lost:
  • advocate for healthier choices for everyone??? This must be hard. I get the idea behind it but still. It might just be easier to get them to change the menu or at least add veggies/salad/fruit than to get them to change their policy Good luck!
  • Absolutely love it! I will soon move there and then live within 2 blocks of one of the best cheese factories. And close to several breweries. Yeah Wisconsin!
  • I met my husband in February while being an international student at his university. We moved together in May for the summer and I left in July to go back to Europe. He stayed in the US to finish up school. This was 10 years ago, we're married and have a son. While it's not the same situation as yours, it shows that…
  • So very true! What a great attitude. Thanks for sharing.
  • exactly whate every body else already said. There is one meal for our family. My son can pick his portion size and his meals tend to be more starch, less veggies (picky eater at the moment). Mine tend to be less starch and more veggies. I try to make 2 veggies (or veggie + salad) with dinner to increase both of our…
  • grew up in Germany, now in Canada, hopefully soon in Wisconsin
  • Hi, I'm a mom to a wonderful 3 year old boy with more energy than I ever had. Unfortunately, he also doesn't seem to need any sleep and can eat just about everything at anytime withough gaining an ounce (same goes for my hubby). Makes it hard to work out when he sleeps or limiting my eating as I'm constantly preparing food…
  • We both do it. It felt strange for me at first to say it while at work (I grew up in Germany where you just don't do it) but now I wouldn't have it differently. For really special occasions we say it in German :love:

  • green smothies - yum!!! I love almost everything roasted more than boiled: cauliflower, sweet potatoe, squash, beets, turnips,...... trying to sneak them in as puree for both me and my son. ie. carrot and bean puree with mac'n'cheese, all kinds of veggies and beans with pasta sauce (watch out for green puree it changes the…
  • I cut one apple into chuncks, sprinkle cinnamon and a tiny bit of brown sugar on it and microwave it. Just like apple crumble without the crumble. Even better when you fry it on the stove because it caramalizes more but then no longer simple (as I hate cleaning the pan!) Also, cottage cheese with maple syrup and pineapple.…
  • I grew up in Europe with Nutella in the house and never liked. I tried all kinds of different brands but I can't get the taste for it. And this even though I love chocolate.

  • 30DS is basically all I do. I will run up and down the stairs afterwards for 4-5 minutes. I usually go for a little walk during my afternoon coffee break but that doesn't really burn much. I do it more to catch some sun shine and release stress (as an alternative to chocolate). Other than that I can't find the time as my…
  • I did day 5 last night which means half way through Level 1. I was so tired but I'm glad I did it! When I got dressed this morning I realized that I am no longer in between belt holes but definitively on the smaller one now. Yeah! Keeps me smiling all day. Can't wait for day 6 tonight. Sooo glad I found this group, it came…
  • housekeeper because my husband does most of the cooking! Oh, and the housekeeper would have to clean the kitchen after hubby is done cooking
  • day 4 done! I can' t see any changes yet but I noticed I am stronger and am getting better at the pushups and side lunges (how I hate them!!!) Congrats to already being more toned. This is awesome!!!
  • I'm planning on doing each level for 10 days but I will see how I feel once I'm close to the 10 days. I know some people do each level for 15 days.
  • I just finished Day 3. And it is getting easier. I have done 15 push ups (the girlie ones but still) This is huge for me. My hubby used to laugh that I couldn't do more than 2. Ha! Already looking forward to tomorrow!
  • Thanks, will try one of them this weekend
  • just for today I will give my little boy and my hubby an extra hug - just because
  • St. John's Wort has lots of drug interactions. Speak with a pharmacist or physician before you start it. Just because it's herbal doesn't mean it's safe/the right one for everybody and has no side effects.
