MRSA
Hey y'all, I was talking to my mom earlier. One of my aunts has had a systemic MRSA infection for several years. It is destroying her body, basically ... I don't know what kind of treatment she has had for it. They live in a tiny town in Indiana & I think her doctor has basically told her there is nothing they can do. My…

I thought this was good...
Saw it on Spark people ... second half of the whole article: Bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you should have set for yourself at the beginning and retool them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be flexible and are allowed for minor impediments. Instead of looking at…

Does anybody have the recipe for the WW 1 point pumpkin muff
I have no idea how many calories they were, but you were supposed to be able to eat 3 of them for 1 point. They were super moist ... almost sticky ... I think they were mostly pumpkin and egg substitute, but they didn't have artificial sweetener in them. I seem to remember liking them and I need something different for…

This is really, really cool!
We're going to Red Robin tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday, so I thought I'd take a look at their website to see if there was anything on the menu that would fit with my food plan for the day. Well ... all I can say is WOW! Not only can you find out pretty comprehensive nutrition information on their entire menu,…

Black Team Challenge Week 3
Hey everybody ... as requested, here is the Black Team challenge to start tomorrow! :happy: Most of us have been on this weight loss journey for quite a while now, and over time it is all too easy to be a little bit lax about our food intake ... we stop measuring everything and/or logging every bite because we feel…

Thoughts for the New Year
Got this in an email & thought it was worth sharing: Now is Your Moment +++++++++++++++++++ It is now, and now is different. Even though you may have experienced an overwhelming amount of disappointment in the past, the past is over. Perhaps you've failed again and again. Now is different. That was then and this is now.…

Are you going to finish strong?
Cool video ... if you fall and you try to get back up 100 times and you quit, you will never get back up. If you keep trying, you will make it ... http://www.maniacworld.com:80/are-you-going-to-finish-strong.html

Another perspective on thanksgiving...
I got this in my email this morning and thought I'd share. The Thanksgiving " SPECIAL " "Pamela felt as low as the heels of her shoes when she pulled open the florist shop door, against a November gust of wind. Her life had been as sweet as a spring breeze and then, in the fourth month of her second pregnancy; a "minor"…

Ok ... uh ... wow
So just out of curiosity I decided to wear my Polar F6 (which I have set for OwnZone) and wear it in exercise mode while I drove around, went out to eat, and went shopping with my grownup kids. In eight hours it shows that I burned 1700 calories. Now my maintenance calories on my current settings are 1870 a day, so I…

I just joined Clewliss & ordered a Polar F6 heart rate monitor. I'm so excited!! Can't wait until it gets here! I got the coral pink one.... :happy: :happy: :happy:

which would you use?
I'm doing my second Zumba class tonight and I don't have a HRM yet. I'm looking at the calorie calculator on self.com and it says that for salsa/latin dancing I'd burn 361 calories in 50 minutes, but for vigorous aerobics I'd burn 555. I thought that 361 seems a bit low because my elliptical said that I burned over 400 in…

I've lost 10.2 inches (I only started with 4 measurements, but I have added more for next month) including 4 inches off my waist! ... that salsa dancing must be doing something! :laugh: :laugh: That is with 5.4 pounds lost ...…

Prayer request
Hey folks, I'm about to leave for the hospital to be with a couple of my young friends who are having their first baby today! Please pray for a safe, easy, uncomplicated birth for Andy & Heather's little one ... and wisdom for me as I try to help support them. Thanks!

What do you think...
First ... I'm not very fit and most of my day is spent sitting at my desk. So today I spent a couple of hours shopping at walmart & grocery shopping walking pretty much the whole time. When I put in two hours of walking at a slow (2 mph) pace it comes up with a ridiculous number of calories, so I cut it down to about 75…

Can't believe I was only over by 13
So, I had one of those out of the house all day running here and there days today. I knew I wasn't going to get to exercise later in the day, so I ate a quick yogurt and got on the elliptical for 30 minutes, but was in a hurry to get out the door so I ate a protein bar and had some milk instead of an actual food breakfast.…

5 days in and a challenge
Hey folks, I've been here since Monday and I absolutely love it. I've been really good about exercising and logging everything so far ... I'm not officially weighing until Monday but this morning I was down 2 pounds, and I feel 100% better than I did this time last week. I haven't eaten out yet and I have to for 2 meals…

I just found this site ...
Hey everybody! I just stumbled on this site through somebody's ticker on another site, and after looking around I love it. It looks much more user-friendly as far as tracking food than other sites I have used. I have a life-long history of being overweight, and most of the time obese. I have not been a good dieter ever in…
