I've starting mixing everything with my lettuce. Lots of traveling this weekend visiting family and lots of BBQ food. Grilled Turkey Franks, baked beans - all mixed together and throw in a bowl with lettuce. Grilled chicken breast, fresh corn, baked baked potato, s&p - same thing. I think I need to volume eat. So, a common…

5'-2" Current Weight - 237lbs I eat 1400-1500 cals per day. I exercise anywhere from 1-7 days a week doing cardio & heavy strength training. I try to eat what would be my maintenance calories at my goal weight (~1500 for 135lbs/sedentary). For me this gives me peace of mind that 'yes I can do this forever'. I will be…

Maybe 900 sqft basement apartment in Chicago: Electrical $45-80 Gas $40-70

I like Healthy Life. Typical slices are 35-40 cals each. I typically do 2 pieces dry toasted with over easy egg and turkey sausage for a filling breakfast. The white bread isn't as soft as say Butternut, but toasted it is perfect for me.

Pure Protein - Chocolate Salted Caramel!!! I am not a huge caramel fan but the chocolate, salt, & caramel combo is perfect. I like most of the Pure Protein. I've tried: Chocolate Deluxe, S'mores, Dark Chocolate Coconut (and maybe a peanut butter one but I can't remember - multi-pak from Sam's) If you do shakes, Premier…

I have about the same amount to lose (5'2" - CW 277lbs - GW - ~135lbs). Patience is key. Some people can't handle so many changes at once, so you may need to ease yourself into this change. I started with cutting back food (but not logging) for a week, then added daily gym for a week, then added tracking on MFP, then added…

I am a Maid of Honor (sometime in the Fall/Winter 2013 - Bride can't make up her mind on a venue!). She is wonderful. She wants a lot of 'Bestie' photos, plus I get a real special dress (the way she wants it is to be closer to her wedding gown then the typical BM-dress). I am so excited, but I want to look good - Not just…

If you own a decent bike, you could get a floor trainer for pretty cheap. (Or get a bike & a trainer so it can be used all the time in/outdoors!) A HRM & bike computer can be inexpensive. Comfort comes in a good fitted bike. No matter if it is stationary or outdoor. Good Luck!!
-
^^^True Story! You always need another bike! I no longer own a car and commute via bicycle EVERYWHERE. I am lucky/thankfully that Chicago is a 'freindly' bike city.

Hiya Folks! I don't have much to add, really need to catch up on life in the Hufflepuff Common Room! Geez! I am so behind! Congrats to our new Prefects! Xoxo!!

Here is my mess... I have everything 'tucked' under the porch for now. I am lucky to have a south facing door, lots of sunlight. My son, Nate, has a very odd glow about him. LOL! He is such an angel! :) I signed up for a Groupon today... It is a 2 month pass for W3 - It seems like all classes (Zumba, Turbo Kick, Yoga), but…

Let my dork show.... I am now FINALLY on Pottemore... Username PumpkinScale23998.... We can have friends?! Join me! LOL! I gotta figure this out - Like I need more distractions at work! I am over the rain and crap weather here! Ugh! My son & I planted a veggie garden in a ton of planters yesterday. I am super excited... I…

He kept repeating over that I was the most knowledge women/girl he had ever dealt with. I said I don't want any B/S about 'toning' 'high reps/low weights'...The fact that I had a exact plan, impressed him. (We chatted with another PT - and he commented as well that I was one of the most informed persons entering in the…

****I am probably highjacking your thread and I apologize ahead of time! **** I went to a local gym last night for an orientation at the gym I plan on starting the program. I filled out the little questionnaire about what I want from the gym and the only thing I answered was 'heavy lifting/strength training'... This, of…
-
I have my gym orientation tonight at X-Sports... I think that is what it is. I have my wonderful little folder with my New Rules of Lifting for Women (aka NROL4W) all organized and ready to go... Hopefully, I can take notes on where the equipment is so I don't wander around the free weight section too long! I plan on…

He goes to Burley... Lakeview (Ashland & Barry).
-
Blush! Thanks! He has already starting some 'testing'... It is hard to get any daily details out of the kid, but I managed to get that Monday he meet with 'a guy' and did pattern block, he was read a story, etc... Sounded like some cognitive development sort of things - But I have no idea. I am grateful for the staff at…
-
Molly- Squid?! I can't get myself to try it! -My son is 'delayed' mainly in reading & writing. He excels in Math, Science, and Social Studies (when he doesn't have to write the answer). I meet with the 'Team' - which includes 7 people from his teacher to the school nurse. They have recommended that he starts occupational…

This week has flown by for me!! (Thank God!! I am ready for a weekend at my own home!) I will hopefully be back in the 170s this week... Very upset with myself 20# from my lowest number. I have been trying to use the Naked! Protein zone smoothies (Or the boathouse ones like it) instead of whatever junk I like to snack on…
-
Maybe Mom/Dad work at the gym and have permission/agreement that the child can 'hang-out' while said parent works? Yes, I would feel sorry if she is there while the parent is working out, for hours, but maybe there is more to the story? I would love to be a fitness instructor, but the classes I want to teach are typically…

Outta town Thursday - Sunday... Then I was too asleep to remember to weigh in the past couple of days! Sorry! Jenn is a hot mess, as always!
-
I have no idea what to do with our leadship mess! **Backs away slowly... changing the subject** Went to a Mediterranean Cafe for lunch (Which is 'hidden' in the back of a jewerly store = FUN!)... Had lentil soup & Veggies over Couscous... There was way too much Couscous so I ate all the goodies and the soup and half a…
-
So, I had this amazing salad with walnuts/almonds/peanuts (about 1/3-1/2 cups total).... Nut protein NEVER makes me feel full! (How can I word that not to be dirty?!? :blushing: Tree-Nut?) It is 2pm and I think I could eat a small calf... Greek yogurt to the resuce. Hopefully that holds me over! I am low on my protein for…

Why do I love Tall-High heels?!? I love the way they make my legs look, make me taller... But at the end of the day I love them even more, NO ON MY FEET! I was in high flirt mode today, passing out homemade cookies and such... Ate 3... Dangit! I am ready to be home... Holy week is going to be hard on my typical lazy bum,…
-
Hiya Hufflepuffies! Karen - I was using the crockpot... then I got lazy and bored... I need new dishes. Also, I think the reason we had the perfects pick the challenges was because after awhile it became a challenge to think of something new/fresh/etc... I am not trying hard enough to be a perfect anymore, shame on me! Not…

I am so far behind on everything that is going on here... OMG! I need a fire lit under my rear. My 10 year HS reunion is next month, I haven't decieded if I am going... but the way I currently feel about myself - I don't wanna. (This is me being a huge brat/prat!) Will someone please either a.) follow me around and track…
-
Whoa! Nelly!! Jenn is so far behind on everything!! I need the spreadsheet. LOL! I have rode my bicycle per normal... I eat great while at work... then I come home and eat crap! Same dang story! Ugh! However, the AMAZING weather in Chicago has gotten us outta the house more so less time for me to eat crap. I haven't…
-
I know NO ONE in North America who calles it 'bimonthly'! LOL!! 2 weeks is probably the most common (or twice a month if we are talking pay-periods)! I love the use of fortnight... because I think I am in the wrong era... I dream myself a lead in an Austen or Bronte novel... **Now day-dreaming about Mr Darcy... and long…

Congrats on the new Nephew!! And I love the fact that you use the word fortnight! It makes me smile!!
