Setting an example.....
I'm noticing more and more my little girl is starting to pick up my better habits. She will be 4 in four weeks, and she can be picky about food. But since I've been eating more fruits and veggies, she is too! Especially now that it's more readily available. I was so pleased when she wanted some of my broccoli last night! I…

peanut butter idea...........
I've seen some suggestions on here doing this with PB2, but since I can't get it here in any stores (and it's way too expensive to order by mail), I decided to just add my regular PB to some greek yogurt. 2 oz. yogurt (I like greek) 2 tbsp Natural PB add a dash of vanilla and whip together with a fork One of my favorite…

The changes he decided to make are as follows: Breakfast: stayed the same nothing, but did change from soda to Gatorade Lunch: dollar menu items from Burger King to Subway (no veggies, just meat and cheese), and a soda to Gatorade Snack: Little…

Kind of a tough day today.....
one of the reasons it took me so long to finally come around again is the fear that I would put in all this hard work and not lose this weight. After feeling really good for my first week, today that old fear kept popping up. When I had the Lap-band, I worked so hard that first year to eat good, within the guidelines given…

All this food!!
I was just thinking, as I sit here eating my salad, how I went from not eating enough (food that wasn't always healthy either) to making better food choices......and now, I feel like I'm eating all the time to meet my calorie needs!! I love it! As long as I eat about every 2 1/2 hours, I'm rarely hungry, and I hardly have…

First week ended with a test :)
I just completed my first week of my lifestyle change and lost 3 pounds. A friend from work hosted a Pampered Chef party to which I was invited. I knew there would be plenty of food there, and for the most part I wasn't overly worried since she eats pretty healthy and doesn't use her parties as an excuse to offer a…

About the sugar thing......
Okay....I keep hearing sugar is sugar whether it's straight table sugar, pasta, or fruit -- your body treats it the same. That's all well and fine, but I think there is a big difference between eating a Kit Kat and an apple!!!

It's all clear to me now......
This was my reply to someone's previous post, and I thought it was important enough to post as it's own topic. I'm hoping it might help someone who finds themselves in the same situation I was in: I had the Lap-band 2 1/2 years ago, and it's filled to about 6.5-7 cc's. I have a fair amount of restriction -- which I'm…

question about calories burned
My workout time (i'm a beginner) totals 30 minutes, with a 10 min warm-up and 5 min cool-down (plus stretches). When entering my time for exercise, should I just enter 15 mins for the actual aerobic phase, or the total time of 30 mins. It just seems the amount of calories burned is really high --- does the calculator take…

Hello, Everyone! I'm sort of new....
I joined a while ago, but didn't do anything productive with it. I'm hoping to get a fresh start, and my goal is to stay on track. Even if I have a day that I haven't eaten as well as I should, or didn't work out as long or at a lower intensity....at least I've done SOMETHING. Instead of..."there goes my diet, workout,…
