I'm restarting as well. 5'0" and 128. I feel really good around 115. My husband keeps telling me that's not realistic because I have more muscle than I used to. What I care more about that pounds is inches off my waist and butt.

I don't really have a cheat day but if there's something I'm really craving I'll sort make that meal into an event. A few weeks ago I really really wanted chicken parm. So I spent Saturday afternoon rolling pasta, flattening chicken, and simmering a sauce. And I mean it would be foolish to have chicken parm without opening…

Twins. But you're older:)

I get you. A real quote from my MIL: "He shouldn't have to cook. He's a man." Are you kidding me woman?

This is really good. I make it just about every week to bring for a few lunches. But I leave out the corn and put a little cheddar cheese on top.

This is one of my favorites. http://12tomatoes.com/maple-dijon-roasted-chicken/ I've also used sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash.

I like the Combat Crunch bars. They're one of the only ones that don't make me feel like I have a rock in my gut. They make a freakin' mess though...super crumbly. I ate one at my desk a few weeks ago and it was everywhere.

I try to eat healthy for the most part. But I clearly can't judge anyone because a few weeks ago when I was desperate for a sugar-fix I smooshed together a tablespoon of butter with a tablespoon of brown sugar and rolled it in mini chocolate chips. Not gonna lie...I'd do it again.

Pizza is delicious. Pizza with pineapple is the most delicious. Homemade pizza with pineapple and a glass of Shiraz is heaven on earth. If I ever fall out of love with pizza, there will be no reason to go on.

I just recently switched up my macros using the calculator on iifym.com I definitely notice a difference with satiety since lowering my carbs and upping my fat and protein.

1100 meters in 5 minutes on the rower. Run a 10-minute mile.

Today is day 16 without coffee and the first to give me trouble. I have fought the urge to throat punch at least 4 people ...and caught myself hovering creepily around my boss' desk so I could smell the cup of Starbucks that was on his desk.

For a while I cut out wine completely, but I found that I ate more crap when I was off the juice. So now I just have a glass when the urge strikes. Like 2-3 glasses a week.

I was at 1200 and was constantly going over. This week, I used the TDEE calculator which put me just over 1300. It's only 100 calories, but it just feels so much more realistic.

I think I have to change things up. I readjusted my daily goals for lower carbs and higher protein. Stay tuned.

I could certainly use a kick in the pants every now and then. I've been really good this week and need to keep it up!

I need a kick in the pants. I've been hovering around 125+/- for months which is the heaviest I've been. 3/1 124.1 3/8 3/15 3/22 3/29 Goal: Continue working out, quit it with the snacks, and hit 120 by the end of the month.

I would also like to lose 8-10 pounds. Or more accurately, I would just like my belly to not hang over my pants.That's a new development and I don't like it. I do small group training 3-4 times a week. I used to do a lot of walking and yoga and really need to get back in that groove again. 5'0" 123 lbs. 40 years old

I turned 40 this past fall and have realized that I have to work a LOT harder to keep the pounds off. I've never been heavy, but am definitely much softer now than I ever have been. My belly hanging over my pants is a new development and I don't like it. I work out 3-4 times a week with a small group and a trainer and that…

My favorite breakfast smoothie is 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal, 1/2 frozen banana, 2-3 frozen strawberries and a scoop of protein powder. The frozen fruit gives it a nice almost frappe-like texture, and it keeps me full for hours.
