I am a Spring folk.. Is that close enough to Houston? :)

Hello. I don't think losing weight would affect your tailbone that much. I too have tailbone pain if I sit in a hard (sometimes even not much cushioned) chairs. At first my doctor said it was probably bruised, even though I don't ever remember doing anything to bruise it. Then a few months later, when it did not get any…

I just purchased Deb's "Slim in 6" and keep hearing about Shakeology but have not looked into what it is. Please send me some info.

When you start feeling it the obvious signs, ie. numbers one the scale, are not far behind. Keep it up!!:happy:

I actually doubled everything in order to up the protein and cals.

Those were so easy and quite good. :bigsmile: Thanks for sharing the reicpe. BTW, have you put it into the MFP food database? You should.

Carbmaster vanilla yogurt w/1 tsp of Cinnamon! It's like having dessert! :love:

Sounds great. I have a recipe for chocolate protein pancakes that is very good also. 4 egg whites 1/3 cup uncooked oatmeal 3 tbs. low or no sugar Red Raspberry Preserves 1 tbs. Cocoa powder dash of vanilla extract 2 tbs. nesquick Chocolate no sugar added milk mix powder 3 pkts. Splenda Mix all in blender. Spray 6-inch…

A couple of trainers and my nutritionist say the heart rate is a much better indicator. You should figure your "target-zone" and stay in that vacinity. I haven't ever heard that the length of time matters (except that you should go at least 30 minutes).

Excellent posting! Thanks! :)

Thanks Christina. I looked at that, however, I did not see an option for Vitamin D. There is an option for vitamins a and c, but not d.

Hi Kristy, I track Cal, Carbs, Fat, Protein and Sugar. I would like to track the Vitamin D but can't figure out how to do that :ohwell:

You can also friend me. I, too, log on every morning. I log in several times a day in order to log my food and exercise. I will be happy to help motivate you. :)

I have been told by my dermatologist that surgery is the only to rid myself of that pouch. I have also had 2 c-sections, the last one being in 1989, and I still have my "pouch"! I hate it.......but I don't think I want to go under the knife to get rid of it.

:bigsmile: Thanks for sharing that Adrien! Great tips!

Okay, I'm in. Five pounds would be a great motivator to finish the course.

Hi Lainie. My name is Linda. I, also, need to loose about 35 pounds. Maybe we can help encourage each other. This is a great site. I found it several months ago and started using it. I got lazy for a couple of months but, hopefully, am back on track now. What is it that is the hardest part for you?

Hi Sam. I have found that I can not loose weight without doing some exercising. I joined in order to control my diabetes by diet and exercise....no meds! I need to drop about 30 pounds. I joined a few months ago and was doing really well then things happened and I stopped tracking. Now I am back and hopefully can stick…

Hi Lianne. I am also 52 and trying to get back into my clothes. I refuse to buy a bigger size AGAIN! This is a great site. I actually joined a few months ago and then got lazy but now I am back. I would love to add you as my friend and we can encourage each other. :)
