Hey ! Add me if you'd like! We can keep each other motivated. And don't say gastric bypass is a cop out. You gotta do what you gotta do to get healthy for your family! :) Good luck!

Quinoa! So much you can do with it!

I always want something sweet at night! I usually will have a 100 calorie pack of something. Or I make a Clean Eating Chocolate Milkshake: 1 banana, 1 cup Greek yogurt or skim milk, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, honey to taste. Blend till smooth. Great for chocolate cravings!

Ya I do pull ups with a chair right now. I can do one unassisted but that's it right now. Working on it though! Thanks!

This website is awesome! I've made a few things from there. The pepper steak is delicious!

Awesome job! Congrats!

HAHAHAHA That is awesome! So cute!

Indian Spiced Sweet Potato Fries 3 large sweet potatoes 1 Tbsp olive oil 3/4 tsp Garam Masala 3/4 tsp cumin 3/4 tsp coriander 3/4 tsp curry powder 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Preheat oven to 400. Put chopped potatoes in large bowl, drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in spices, tossing well to coat. Put on…

I'm down to the last 10-15 as well. SO hard to lose! Add me if you'd like!

Hmmm my son is already 32 lbs (my big boy!) so not sure if it would be worth it if it only holds 35lbs. Plus, like you said, that would be quite the weight to carry around! That's great that your son's birthday are so close that you can have them together like that! Definately saves money and I'm sure they don't mind if…

When my son was that young (he's almost 2 now) I had a hard time finding time for everything too (still do sometimes!). I mainly concentrated on my diet and kind of left my working out for a while. I did take my son on long walks which was good, sometimes in the stroller and sometimes in a carrier. Carrying baby around all…

Mine will be 2 on Oct 3! How does he like the carrier? I've only ever used the Baby Byjon when he was much younger (and lighter). Haven't tried a back carrier before.

Thanks! Yep that's my little charmer!

I have a 23 month old too and he's heavy! Good to know I burn a lot of calories carrying him! It does make it less frustrating (a little anyway!)

That zucchini recipe sounds good!

I'm sick right now. Sore throat, stuffed up, all that jazz. I want to workout but I know I won't be able to put my all into it. Also, my body needs the rest,. So I'm taking a few days off. I am going to go for a walk later on just to get out of the house but just a stroll. Feel better soon!

Ummmmmm HOT!

You picture caught my eye! My son LOVES cars! I think I can quote the movie word for word! Add me if you'd like!

I find planning my meals very helpful when it comes to saving money. Then I make a grocery list and just buy what's on the list. You won't be as tempted to get other things you don't really needs. Also, check online for flyers of the grocery stores in your town. You might have to shop at two or three different stores for…

I sometimes have protein smoothies for breakfast. Some days I'm just not very hungry in the morning and this works for me! I don't see anything wrong with it. I use yogurt, frozen fruit, banana, and protein powder.

I love the Gracious Pantry! All the recipes I've tried are awesome!

I just tried a recipe that has kind of an Asain feel: Cut up 1 peeled sweet potato into cubes. Mix 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey, and 1 Tbsp water together in bowl. Toss with sweet potatoes. Bake in oven about 20 minutes. Baste with remaining sauce a couple times during baking. They were really good!

Hahahahahaha! Awesome!

Hey! Add me if you'd like! I love trying new recipes so we can share!

I'm the same. 15 pounds to go that won't leave. Hdschuller - I'd love some info if you don't mind sharing!

I've heard of these but can't find them here in BC! Guess they are not in Canada yet :( I really want to try them though!

I wish I could help but I'm feeling the same right now! I do fine for 5 days and then eat crap on the weekends and just say I'll get back to it on Monday! Getting frustrating! I do find meal planning to help a bit though. I try to plan for the week and buy the groceries so it's all in the house. I hope you can push past…

I'm in pretty good shape. Run, lift weights. I count walks if I do a decent length and at a very brisk pace. If I'm meaning to go out and break a sweat walking then I count it. If I'm just walking to the grocery store or something then I don't count it.

What an amazing gift to give her! You are a wonderful dad! I have a son turning 2 in a few weeks. Such a great age eh!

Excited for breakfast now!
