A friend of mine was on the Paleo diet for a couple months - she didn't seem to lose any weight (according to her), it was expensive, she was quickly bored and ended up cheating alot. Here is a link which will give you some pros and cons to think about: http://health.usnews.com/best-diet/paleo-diet Regarding drinking: you…

My name is Jacky and I joined MFP at the suggestion of my friend/trainer. This way she, and I, can see what I am eating, not eating (that I should be) and my activity levels. However, since joining and participating, I find the encouragement, support, ideas and motivation has been what's kept me moving forward on my weight…

WOW! Kudos to all your hard work and I wish you continued success. Thank you for sharing .. it's the posts like yours which motivate and help me to continue toward my goal.

You look wonderful! It's amazing how a lifestylce change can make all the difference in the world. Great job!!

Those recipes sounds awesome! At least once a week I prepare a meal in the crock pot. It makes dinners so easy to complete .. esp after working all day .. Thank you for sharing.

Here are some ideas I found online and have tried .. they seem to get me through the day. Good luck!! Simulate jumping rope for a minute: Hop on alternate feet or on both feet at once. An easier version is to simulate the arm motion of turning a rope, while alternately tapping the toes of each leg in front. While seated,…

Feel free to add me as a friend. I am a mother of three, work a full time job, and have to find time to work out .. so I totally in the same boat.

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend .. I would love to motivate; as well as, be motivated. :)

It's New Years and while I am on a mission to shape up; however, I love to indulge, esp around the holidays - this is where I have learned to modify my intake and choose my options wisely. Here's a recipe for some low carb Mojitos. Mojitos = each serving has 2 grams of carbs and 103 calories (serving is a standard glass)…

Find a fun way to exercise and try it with a friend. The gym gets boring .. treadmills and elliptical machines .. BLAH. A friend and I started taking pole fitness classes . Most people immediately get a dirty image but it's completely the opposite .. Pole Fitness is about having fun and is for women of all ages and sizes…

It looks good - except the processed chese, that def needs to be upgraded. What is the nutritional information on this meal?

I am attempting to give up (or at least slow down) on my Starbucks Frapp coffees .. they are full of empty calories and the cost is insane.

You are welcome to "friend" me. :) Jackyb03

I work at the Superior Court House in Tacoma, WA .. I am here along with the other die hard employees. :) I am leaving early though so that's giving me something to look forward to. Happy Holidays!!

I just took my first Zumba class this past Monday .. it was awesome! I had so much fun .. I did learn that I have no rhythm, LOL but I felt like I worked out and had a blast. I would recommend Zumba.

You can add me. I am a mother of three (16, 14 and 9) and work a full time job. I understand the limitations to finding time to work out.

WOW! That's an insane amount of calories to burn a week. I am no where near that now but am willing to give it a shot. Count me in!!!

That's awesome .. its a GREAT feeling to know other people are starting to notice. Congrats!!
