Yeah, I used to wonder why I wasn't losing weight too...until I started tracking! When you track, you pay attention to every single bite. I was really bad about snacking on my kid's snacks. Pour them Cheezits and I have a handful. I mean, it's just a handful. Or just a couple of beers. Before you know it, you're way over…

feel free to add me. I need all the support I can get too:)

Personally, I would recommend just finding a cheap, no frills gym vs. buying your own weights. I like seeing the other people at the gym b/c it's motivating for me. But everyone is different. I totally think you could ask someone at the gym to help with form. Also, you could ask someone at the front desk. Most of them know…

Feel free to add me. Welcome back.

greek yogurt, oatmeal, quinoa

Thanks everyone. I like a lot of these ideas:)

Thanks ladies. I'll have to try the power crunch bars. I'll have to try that shake as well. Both sound yum.

I second roasting veggies in the oven. It almost gives them a sweet taste. Holy cow, I love roasted cauliflower and broc! Just toss with a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. So awesome!

Wow, thanks for all the support and comments. I am just now realizing I had so many responses to my post. I thought I would get notified somehow when I had a response. Guess not. Okay, so hubby is on board! I basically just told him I was concerned about our health and our future. Neither one of us is necessarily…

Wow...just wow! Great job. Your after picture really motivates me. And believe me, I really needed some motivation tonight. I'm trying the eating clean route with one free day a week, but now I'm wondering if I should incorporate a treat every now and then. I've been on this site for a while now, but just now starting to…

Complete upper body work out today. Felt great!

I've seen a couple of women in the gym who are a bit too skinny in my opinion. I'm not saying they are anorexic skinny. But I personally like curves on a woman, myself included. But I do understand partially where you're coming from. When I was in the best shape of my life...quite a few of my friends told me I was too…

Feel free to add me. I'm in major need of support too.

I think one of the kickers is what someone mentioned above...alcohol is metabolized first and then your body starts on the other food you've eaten. I too love my drinks. But this week, I plan on eating clean and drinking clean for the entire week. No alcohol until my free day. Good luck!

Walking, swimming, or even the elliptical.

Feel free to add me:) I'm so proud that you are beginning this journey.

Not sure if you did this or not...you can always ask the staff to go easy on the grill baste. Most restaurants slather their meat in butter before grilling. I order a fajita chicken salad at our favorite Mexican restaurant and ask for little to no butter before grilling. The chicken comes out tasting a tad dry but at least…

Great eyes and hair!

It's just our immediate family (myself, hubby, and our two boys) this year unless we get together with friends. So...we will probably bake a turkey breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, maybe a salad. It will be a small dinner if I can talk my husband into that. If we get together with friends, then we will have…

I need all the support I can get. Please add me:)

Wow! Great job!

Welcome!

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be adding my picture soon;) I have two boys ages 6 and 4. My oldest is special needs so life can be stressful and challenging at times. Need any support I can get.

I totally agree with this. Ahhhhhh! This irritates me to no end! When I was at my most muscular...many years ago;) I was no where near bulky! I was 142 pounds at 5ft8in and a size 4 with 15 % body fat. And I lifted heavy...at least heavy for me. The simple fact is, the more muscle you add to your body, the more calories…

I know you have a lot of advice already but I thought I'd chime in. I like to combine a protein with every meal if I can. Even if it's an apple with a little bit of peanut butter. The other day I ate an apple and then gulped down some hardboiled egg whites. It was a quick and balanced snack. I feel if you combine a protein…

I used to run a lot and I used to think that it could be considered strength training. That is until I started doing lunges and squats:) Then I realized, wait a minute, my legs never feel like this after a run. So no it can not be considered strength training.
