I'm back and determined...again
Well I am determined to get this back into my dailiy life! This last year has seen too much craziness...some good...some bad...but it all had to be dealt with and I of course put myself and my health on the back burner. I was reminded a week ago that I deserve better than that...by my husband, bless his heart. So we…

Spinach Crab Soup
I wanted to share something. I experimented and this is what the result was. Spinach Crab soup! I used imitation crab, frozen spinach, onion, chicken broth and coconut milk. I could not believe all the flavor and it was so filling. Low fat, low carb, low cal. It also only took about 15 min to cook! Try your own…

Dieter's Creed
Strict is my diet I shall not want. It maketh me lie down at night hungry. It leadeth me past the confectioners. It trieth my will power. It leadeth me in the paths of starvation for my figure's sake. Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry department, I will buy no sweet rolls, for they are fattening. The…

Hamstring Injury question
Well I have re-injured my hamstring. I am curious to know if there is a way to get the healing process to move along a bit faster. It seems there should be stretches or walking or something that would help it heal faster and better so I don't re-injure it again. This is getting old! Thank for any info or advise.

Success stories using 30 Shred?
Just bought this DVD today and am curios if anyone has had the results that the dvd states. I find it hard to believe...20 lbs in 30 days. I did not buy it for that reason either, I just needed some variation in my workouts. But now I want to know if you have used it and seen this good of results or what your results were.…

Weight at different ages
I am curious what you all think about what weight looks good at different ages. I am 45 and was talking to a friend about how I wanted to lose about 20 more lbs. She wanted to know why I still wanted to lose more because she though I would look too thin if I were 20 lbs lighter. I told her that I wanted to get back down to…

Little victory
Little victory this morning when I stepped on the scale. My weight loss journey has been going on for almost a year now. In December 2008 I was down to 146 but over the winter I had some family health issues that kept me from focusing on my loss. So on May 5, 2009 I started here at MFP at 154, so I had slid back up a bit.…

Man O Man did I blow it!
Took my son to the movies today and ate theatre popcorn...with butter! Oh was it good. I don't feel bad. That is a treat maybe once every six months or so...no big deal. Don't think I will ever give up movie theatre popcorn! Yummmyyyy! It's all good. Lifestyle change doesn't mean every minute of every day for our entire…

Walking while shopping
So I had to run a ton of errands today. I went to 5 different stores, very little driving, and would say out of the 4 1/2 hours I was gone, close to 4 hours were walking. I logged this into my exercise as walking at a slow pace but only put down 3 hours. Do you think this is a fair assesment?

If every day were like today
...you would weigh XXX.XX in 5 weeks! I really dislike that little note at the end of the day! I feel positive when it is a low number and if it is higher than I want....I feel like putting in the exercise tape! It really messes with my head! Anyone else have this problem?

# of days you exercise?
I was wondering if you all think that doing an hour long kick boxing aerobics class, every other day is enough exercise?

Girl question?
I have done some reading on the subject but always find better information from women who have experience with situations so, my question is: For those who have or are going through 'the change', what was the effect on your energy level and weight and what did/do you find most helpful? Thanks
