We did a fitness challenge here in the office. It lasted 8 weeks, we had to pay $1 each weigh-in (weighed every Monday) and $1 for each pound gained. The top prize was $250 donated by the owners, 2nd prize was the money collected from weigh-ins & weight gains. And we calculated the winner by percentage of weight lost, not…

I let it track walking, any other exercise I log in manually

I'm in!!! I've been bingeing on the weekends without slowing down during the week...major calorie overload from alcohol. My weight loss has stalled, I think the calories saved from the booze just might get it going again :-)

I will usually have a small snack between meals, helps me to not overeat at meal time. Usually a boiled egg mid-morning, and maybe cheese or a piece of chocolate to pick me up mid-afternoon.

Hmmm, I see a trip to the store in my immediate future!!!

Ghirardelli Intense Dark - Twilight Delight 72% cacao...I buy a bag of the individually wrapped squares & keep a few in my lunchbox for a sweet treat after lunch :p

Sending you a friend request :-)

I have the Fitbit One and I wear it clipped to my bra...for the sake of my story I will add that I am fairly big breasted. One day last week I took a road trip, about 4 1/2 hours riding along bumpy mountain roads. The rest of the trip was spent sitting in an office doing paperwork. When we got back from said road trip, I…

I don't care for plain green tea either, it actually gives me heartburn & tastes horrible. I found a Pomegranate Berry green tea however that is delish :)

I drink a couple glasses of wine every night while making/eating dinner...I'm down 16 lbs and losing at a good enough pace for me. I would rather enjoy my life & maybe lose a little slower, rather than make myself go without & give in to major cravings later!!

Realizing last week that my size 18W jeans are too baggy and that I can comfortably fit into the size 16 misses in my closet :)

5'3", 204 lbs...I can wear my old size 16 & 18 pants, curious to see what I would buy new though since these have all shrunk up a little. Shirts are large / xlarge depending on the cut, as my boobs are big LOL

Dinner last night...left over grilled ribeye, brown & wild rice and oven roasted asparagus.

Woot!!!! The top of my closet is lined with those jeans, ranging from size 8-14. I can't wait for the day that I can start fitting into any of them!!!

Aaahh, thank you for asking this...I was wondering what NSV meant too!!!

Boxers all the way <3

Infusing water overnight in the fridge with fruit, cucumbers & mint, whatever combinations you like...makes it tastier & easier to drink if the taste of plain water is the issue.

5 weeks into it & I'm down 4.77%...if I make it to goal I will have lost 40%, that's an awfully long ways away!!!

For me it's a no brainer...love, love, love asparagus & couldn't dislike broccoli any more if I tried.

<My personal space is always respected here. I can watch the dogs in the backyard, smell clothes on the line & fresh cut grass when the windows are open. And I can workout in my pj's if I want :p

I only have one gym option (YMCA) in my small town & I know a LOT of people that go there. I feel awkward almost every time, but I put on my headphones & do what I came to do. I still don't venture into the weight section but I use cardio & resistance machines. Classes are hard for me as I feel very out of place with…

I make this one for my salad sometimes, also works good as a marinade: 5 Tablespoons EVOO 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard (not yellow mustard) 1/2-1 Tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt

I cook for my family 2-3 nights a week, my husband cooks for himself & the kids 2-3 nights a week & we generally go out to eat one night. I used to do all the cooking & was also finding it hard to make food for them & food for myself. Now I get to eat whatever I want on his nights & they get to eat healthier on my nights.…

House work & hosting a kids birthday party...no time for a workout today!!!

I'm 1200 with an open diary, feel free to add me :-) And yes, I am short & have a BMI of 36 so this is right for me. Just don't look at yesterday...went out to dinner with my family & blew my calories out of the water!!!

So I think that I did well...ordered chicken fajitas, only ate 2 with no extras (no cheese, only a smear of sour cream). Had a couple glasses of wine and still came pretty close to my goals. Not gonna worry about it, hitting the gym early tomorrow morning :-) Thanks everyone for your advice & support :D

LOL, I hate pork rinds!!!!

Ok, I think I've got this...wish it would hurry up & be dinnertime, thinking about this all day has left me starving ;)

Looks great, congrats on your progress!!

Mmm...the glass or 2 of red wine that I plan on consuming out to dinner tonight >:)
