Happy Saturday! It's warm and sunny here today. We stayed out super late last night/this morning, and accidentally slept really late into the day. Yesterday was definitely another splurge day, but now it's back to normal until the wedding next Saturday. I'm trying to figure something out for Mother's Day, I was going to go…

@CALIECAT I'm so glad you're feeling better today. I worry for you, I hate that you have to go through so much with your health. :( Keep drinking that water and push those kidneys to work. @lovesretirement Great strength pushing through the gym even when you don't feel like it, that's what leads to success! I know for…

So yesterday I had a cheat night at my sister's cards party. I was disappointed because I couldn't eat as much as I wanted, and I mean I literally couldn't. My appetite and stomach have decreased so much. She made these brownies with caramel and chocolate chips and walnut halves, they were sooo good, and I could only…

@Shirley61 Your doctors visit sounds like it went so well! You knocked out diabetes? You should be so proud of your hard work. :) @SeeAhtter787 You're dropping pounds on pounds! You're awesome! :D @barbiecat I'm starting to enjoy the milestones myself. Though my goal is still a ways away, it's also kind of really close,…

You are the image of health! You didn't just get thin, you got FIT. You look awesome!

I love beans, and have been adding them in to my diet a lot more lately. The calories are high, so I typically limit it to 1 cup of beans for a meal. But there's a lot you can do with them! Even if you just add some seasoning, they're delicious.

@cristina0000 Have fun at Disney World! I hear they have a thing called "Dole Whip' that is like ice cream but lighter. Somehow I saw a loss last week after eating all day on Wednesday. It's weird how that works. But we'll take it, right! @eyegirl777va I know it seems hopeless sometimes, but it's not! Just keep going at…

Those are my favorites too! I used to buy a bag of each and take turns. :P Thank you!!! :D @eyegirl777va I'm so glad your appointment last week went so well! Seltzer water with 0 calorie flavor squeeze. It'll tide your stomach over until you've prepared something appropriate. :) @cristina0000 I hope you'll get to move to…

Wow! You did an incredible job!

Becky it sounds like you had a great time! Nice clothes really do make a person feel better, especially when they're in a smaller size. :)

Marie, another loss! That's fantastic!

Shrug that sad off! My loss wasn't as significant, but after losing 30 lbs. most days I felt like I couldn't see any difference. At 33 lbs. now, I'm seeing the change. It takes a while for the mind to catch up to the body, mine is still working on that. You'll need time to realize it too. Just keep going, one day you'll…

I'm so sad, I just wrote out a long post, with tags and all that, and I hit the wrong button and now it's lost. I hate it when that happens!

I was digging through some pantry stuff to get some salsa out for my husband tonight, and I had to move my half eaten bag of mini M&M's(they're meant for baking, but they only ever made it as far as my mouth). The bag uncurled and I got a good whiff of them and thought "Mmmm those smell good". If it makes you feel any…

Marie, even if I'm where I want to be by July, I'll still follow you all to Thanksgiving. :)

That baby is adorable!

That's a huge difference! I'm glad you see it now, it's awesome!

Today, a pilates instructor called me FIT. B)

Esther you're doing such a fantastic job.

I'm a lucky girl in that my apartment office has a Starbucks coffee machine in it. I grab a cup most days before heading to class. The machine makes hot chocolate too, but I just watch my husband drink that. ;P I've learned that 2 teaspoons tastes the same as 1 tablespoon when it comes to half 'n half, so in the mornings I…

Stephanie I'm glad the dance was a success! And guess what? The pilates instructor called me fit! :O :D FIT. I've never been called that before in my life. And like my husband pointed out, it wasn't even meant in the form of a compliment, it was just stated as a passing fact. How cool is that?? It was great motivation to…

Have fun at your crawfish boil, Ruthie!

My apartment office is hosting a pilates and mimosas event in the morning (which means I really need to get to sleep!). They usually provide food for breakfast too, I'm really hoping they have some 100 calorie yogurt cups. I think they had them last time, because there were some left over in the mini fridge there last…

Tami I would love to know what your mom uses. I've dampened quite a few papers in my day. I've tried Drysol before, but didn't use it faithfully enough. It had a tacky after-feel to it. Other than that I've only ever heard of surgery or botox injections for it. Marie, I love being a part of this group. You all have got to…

Dedication works wonders! Congratulations, you've done a great job!

I like this idea! Seeing your husband periodically has it's advantages! It's hard for us to see the changes in ourselves because we see ourselves all day every day. You're probably doing so much better than you even know. :)

I have that same condition. It's called Hyperhidrosis, which basically means "excessive sweating". The hands are called "Palmar Hyperhidrosis", I have it for the hands and the feet. It makes it really difficult and uncomfortable to wear shoes without socks, like heels or sandals. When I was younger I had a pair of…

Esther, that must be such a hard thing to watch. I know it makes me feel sad for the person when I see someone who is really obese, but I can only imagine it's much harder when it's a family member. I hope it clicks for her soon, she must be miserable. :( Shirley, that picture is so nice. <3 Stephanie, I need to try those…
