NSV pic
I love how I feel the day after lifting...everything is tight and sucked in. Still a work in progress but happy so far. :happy:

Strawberry Pop-tart ice cream sandwich
Just saw this advertised by Carls Jr. Strawberry Pop-tart ice cream sandwich....ugh...or yum, depending....not a strawberry fan. But Brown sugar/Cinnamon with vanilla would work for me. Anyone else?

Inches mean more than lbs...
Well hopefully this worked. I've been really hesitant to post pics since I've only lost 10 lbs. But as so many say on MFP, it's not always about the number on the scale. I've tried to adopt that philosophy. I started doing just cardio, but also added in 30DS and other Jillian Michaels' circuit dvds. I just started lifting…

Never say you can't do it...
If you think you can't do this, watch this guy. I gather this video has circulated around before, but a friend just posted it on FB. Get out your Kleenex and be prepared to throw all of your excuses out the window. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448&feature=share

Black bean, corn and tomato salad
This is a modified version of a salad from a vegetarian cookbook given to my daughter. Originally the rice wasn't included, but I had leftovers from last nights dinner. As it turned out, the whole thing worked well together. 1 can of black beans rinsed 1 cup frozen corn 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half 3-4 green onions…

Losing weight at a snails pace...scale and NSV
I refuse to call this a "journey", as that implies a beginning and an end. For me this is a quest...a mission...an attitude adjustment....mind over all of my matter! I WILL make my body conform to what's in my mind! But it's just taking so freakin' long. I've been actively at this since mid-January and have lost a whopping…

No more excuses not to run
My husband and daughter have PKD (poly-cystic kidney disease). My son may have it but hasn't been screened yet. My point to this post it this: My daughter is sick and in pain a lot of the time. She runs. She runs 6, 8 or 10 miles at a time. Sometimes, she runs 4 miles to the gym, rides 20 miles on the stationary bike, the…

Really grateful for MFP
The last couple of weeks have been hell in my home. I have 2 teenagers with issues--some emotional and some medical. At the moment they can barely be in the same house together, let alone the same room. My daughter just got out of the hospital today after a 3 day stay due to a kidney infection--made worse by her emotional…

my first noticeable NSV
After getting out of the shower today (and I hate looking at myself unclothed right now) I did notice that the back fat is just a little less fatty today! Put on the bra and the somewhat formfitting t-shirt, and took a look again....yes it's true! The roll that protrudes from under the band of my bra is little more smooth…

I'm eating chocolate

Any emotional NON-eaters out there?
Hard core family drama making me frustrated and heartsick right now. When I'm this upset/angry/anxious etc, I don't eat. I don't eat to the point of getting sick sometimes. Anyone else out there a emotional NON-eater?

Time to stop my own madness
Hi...Ok, I'm not totally new here. I've been using MFP off and on for a while just to track, but I haven't really been serious enough about it. 2 years ago I lost 25 lbs doing Jillian Michaels' program. It was great. It kicked my butt into gear and I looked and felt fantastic. Then I got some sort of rotator cuff injury…
