Soup is fast and hot, but obviously not great for on the go (unless you get a pureed soup and drink it out of a travel mug...I like that idea, I might use it myself! Patting myself on the back for that one. :) ) A rice, bean, and cheese burrito can also be fast and easy to make. Just don't go too crazy on the quantity,…

I love almond milk. I get Silk almond milk, original, unsweetened. 35 calories a cup? Yes please! I only use it for cereal and smoothies, though. I was never much of a milk drinker, so I prefer it for the nutrients and low calories over the taste.

Great job! You look fantastic. Good luck on your half marathon!!

If it's not too late, ask if you guys can make a lower calorie version. If you google a recipe, you'll find one easily. It's an easy recipe, and still can taste really good! Otherwise, I think eating something healthy before you go, like fruit, will help. Fill up a little bit ahead of time and you won't be able to eat as…

I agree! I had a goal weight of 135 in mind (I'm also 5'7"), but I was able to get to 130ish. I then reset my goal to 125, but honestly, I'm so happy with how I look and feel that I don't even care if I never reach that goal. Of course there are still things I don't like about my body, but as long as I continue to feel as…

You almost made me cry reading that! Good for you for taking control of your life. Did you get your treadmill yet? I think it's amazing that you want to walk a mile every day, and know that it may start out very slowly. Even if you walk a quarter of a mile on day one, that's more than you did yesterday. Congrats, lady!!…

99 berries. It's a vodka, but higher proof. So it's less calories, but you get more bang for your buck as far as alcohol goes. My friends in college who did weight watches would drink it a lot. Or drink vodka soda's with a little lime juice for flavor. Just be careful of how much you drink, of course! :)

Amazing. Also, good for you for running the full! I ran my first half last fall, and I'm not sure I ever want to do the full. So I'm impressed by your determination!!! :)

Connecticut! I think I saw one other person on this post from good ol' CT. Probably because we're all a bunch of curmudgeons in CT. JK, JK, I don't want to perpetuate the "everyone from CT is a snob" stereotype. Because really, I love my little state. :)

Good for you for reaching out for help to get on track! I can certainly understand that reasoning for not being able to cook. And so sorry that that's something you had to go through. I'm a terrible cook, and not because I don't know how. I'm just kind of a spaz in the kitchen. I just received a cookbook for Christmas,…

Yup, sounds about right.

Oh boy, I hope none of my yoga/workout pants are see through. If they are, I'm terribly sorry, world! I'll be checking that out from now on...
-
Wow, so many of you have said commando! I guess I should try this. I've always just worn my regular underwear.
-
Whoops. I'm totally guilty of that. I know only I can motivate myself to do something. So maybe it is support I'm looking for, and not motivation. But I have to say, reading other people's success stories does motivate me! And knowing that if I log in exercise, people who have added me as a friend will see it and like it,…

Amazing!!! You look great, and it's even better that you FEEL great. Thank you for sharing this!! It gives me a lot of motivation to try harder to fit in exercise. I'd love to be able to hike for miles and actually keep up with my boyfriend on the trails. :)

Mmmmm beer. I love a good IPA. And #girrrrlIhearyou about the holidays.

But sometimes, a gal just needs a little pasta in her life. :)
-
Way to take charge!! I'm raising my wine glass filled with water to you and your future! :)
-
I'm hoping some of these responses will help motivate me to get up in the morning as well! I have a hard time fitting in workouts after work, so I need to get them in before work. But it's so hard to get out of bed any earlier than I have to...especially in the winter. In the spring and summer when it's light out early in…

Well first of all, you're amazing for taking care of 3 kids while going to school, and for supporting your husband's decision to go back to school as well. That's a lot of commitment! Good for you. :) You can absolutely lose those 40lbs! I'm sure it won't be easy, but it sounds like you're used to working hard. You can do…
-
Awesome!!! Nice work. :)

One of the last times I donated, I tried to go for a run the next morning. They tell you to wait 24 hours, but in my mind, the donation was the afternoon before, so I was fiiiine. WRONG! I ran about a quarter of a mile and was so out of breath!!! It's amazing how much energy you lose after you've donated. So now when I…

I wish this had a "like" option. If it did, I would like this. :)

Good point!

I've been thinking about going gluten free for a while. I get bloated really easily, and sometimes I wonder if it's related to gluten. But I really dislike some of the gluten free products! Gluten free pasta and crackers are terrible (at least I think so, with what I've tried in the past). :\ So it's kept me from trying it.
-
I've been considering getting one! I had chicken in my salad today, and not a clue as to how many ounces I put in there. I guessed, and hope that I overestimated. But really, I have no idea!! I've heard the "3 oz is the size of your palm" thing, but a scale would obviously be much more accurate!

Someone on here sent a link to me about herbalife when I posted a question about protein powders for my smoothies. I'm not interested in doing the meal replacement/supplement thing (I'm not even sure if that's what it is!), but I'm wondering what you think of the protein supplements? I've read that there are some GMOs in…

You go, girl!!! There is no victory too small when it comes to being healthy. That's an amazing accomplishment! :)
-
I don't have any specific recipes to give, but I love my Cooking Light cookbook. They are delicious meals, super easy, and list all of the calorie/nutrition information. There are plenty of kid friendly meals in there! And I know they have a bunch of recipes listed online as well. :)

I could use some motivation! And I like trying to help motivate as well. :)
