I have about the same amount to lose as you, maybe even 10-15 more. We love green smoothies here at our house, but now I WANT A JUICER! Looking forward to hearing your progress on your new lifestyle!rachel joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181423039425342650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-60012067143938279612012-06-15T22:08:01.844-07:002012-06-15T22:08:01.844-07:00I really hope you post this link on your Team Page...I really hope you post this link on your Team Page, girl!!

Oh and since you are breastfeeding those hemphearts and walnuts will be great for omega 3 intake. And you've got to try quinoa - i have an amazing 'live food' recipe if u want. Xox<br />P.s. As a busy mum i have a really hard time fitting exercise into my life (other than lugging kids around of course) but my brother, who teaches crossfit, has me doing tabata squats every other day. It only takes 4 intense minutes and rocco does it with me and ive seen such a huge difference in only one month. It boosts my metabolism and helps me burn fat for the rest of the day. I dont know what u can do since the accident but if u are up to it give it a try!

I am reading Nourishing Traditions right now too, it's an interesting book. We also follow Ben Greenfield, he has great nutritional information and is a really cool guy (we got to meet him last month)(you can find him at www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/ if you want to check him out.) I love coconut oil too, I have been using it on my face since I was pregnant with Scarlett and love the way it feels. It works great for a hair treatment if you wash your hair, rub a few tablespoons in, braid your hair and just leave it in until you wash your hair the next day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508145202555852705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-56296943358323389582012-06-13T08:31:39.922-07:002012-06-13T08:31:39.922-07:00@holly: i just have juice for breakfast at this po...@holly: i just have juice for breakfast at this point. its quick to make, but the cleanup is a pain. there are lost of juice fasts out there where you juice 3x a day, but i'm still nursing ava, so i don't want to go that extreme. i'm thinking a pick-me-up mid afternoon juice will be my next step though! honestly, i only have used this one juicer, which is just over $100 retail, http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Lalannes-JLSS-Stainless-Steel-Electric/dp/B000GHIVO4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1339601173&sr=8-5 and its great for most things (just not great for smaller stuff like berries, wheatgrass and baby spinach). btw, if you're interested in getting into juicing and blending, watch this video: http://crazysexyjuice.com/ (kris carr is my new heroine)<br /><br />i use nature's gate brand shampoo & conditioner mostly cuz i LOVE the scent. aunt patty's organic coconut oil comes in a little jar and is reasonably priced....i found all of these things at my cute little local health food store, but i'm sure a place like trader joe's would carry this type of thing as well.<br /><br />good luck on your own healthy journey and thanks for the encouragment!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693901431333983890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-25442865149245280382012-06-13T08:15:16.588-07:002012-06-13T08:15:16.588-07:00@lauren: i usually make a big pot of veggie soup o...@lauren: i usually make a big pot of veggie soup on mondays (w/ cabbage, northern beans, carrots, dill...sort of like a meatless borscht) and i keep that in the fridge all week and have a bowl for lunch, or i just make a gigantic salad with as many veggies as i can load onto it with walnuts or pepitas and squeeze a lemon over it instead of salad dressing.<br /><br />green smoothies are fantastic as well, but certain things (like apples and celery) are better juiced than blended. with smoothies you get the whole food including the fiber, but with juicing, the juicer removes the fiber, in a sense pre-digesting the food and making it super fast and easy for your body to absorb the nutrients. i love smoothies with a handful of baby spinach, strawberries, banana, greek yogurt and flax & chia seeds mixed in.<br /><br />@christa: i've wanted to watch foodmatters, but our library doesn't carry it yet. foodmatters created hungry for change, actually. i figured you may be on the same track as me with your recent fb posts!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693901431333983890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-78827149853590275172012-06-13T07:57:51.872-07:002012-06-13T07:57:51.872-07:00Hey my second attempt at leaving a comment it didn...Hey my second attempt at leaving a comment it didn't work last night. First of all good for you! I've been trying to eat better and exercise and the weight is very very slowly coming off. But I am feeling better. <br />Do you just have juice for breakfast? Do you have juice at any other point in the day? Can you recommend a reasonably priced juicer?<br />What shampoo and conditioner and creams do you use? Also did you buy coconut oil fromHollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771177835820215522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-40728275942458865482012-06-13T07:13:21.929-07:002012-06-13T07:13:21.929-07:00(CHrista )Wow, Heidi we're doing to same thing...(CHrista )Wow, Heidi we're doing to same things around here too. I've found some cool recipes for creams and deoderants online and we're having green smoothies for breakfast and eating way more veggies...especially raw ones. It's tough sometimes but I know it's the best for all of us. Have you watched FoodMatters? It's a great documentary too, might be very similar to the one you mentionedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-15665694411818029042012-06-13T00:02:36.740-07:002012-06-13T00:02:36.740-07:00What an inspiring and uplifting post!

Coconut oil is AMAZING! Did you know it can heal a sunburn faster? And for hair conditioner, you don't have to use gobs of it to have it work. Just spread some on your hair (unless it's really thick. then you probably would want a shower cap). a little goes a long ways, as you know! I *almost* thought you were going to say you were expecting again!! ;-) But no, just a good lifestyle change :)Laura Railinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942162058173860225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-25518784868955249272012-06-12T21:11:45.512-07:002012-06-12T21:11:45.512-07:00WOW heidi! so motivating! im curious what you eat ...WOW heidi! so motivating! im curious what you eat for lunch? and do you think your juicer ingredients could be used in a smoothie?? love to read and catch up on you guysLaurennoreply@blogger.com
