Found at Trader Joe's: Spindrift Seltzer made with raspberries (puree and juice) and fresh squeezed limes... No sugar added (no fake sugar either) for 10 calories. Soo refreshing and good! I usually drink Croix sparkling water when I want something bubbly but these are muuuch better. :)

I do the same kind of thing OP... I think it's a smart move especially if you know you have an event or outing planned. I don't go below 1200 on weekdays... But weekends I'm allowed to eat back the cals I "save." It gives me something to look forward to and fits within my calorie goals for the week. Some people have treats…

Everything you're saying is logical and helpful! I'm going to officially give myself more credit. Thank you!!!

Thank you! I sleep better and I'm hungry for breakfast now... Both are big changes for me.

It doesn't make sense to me either! Haha. Everything still fits just fine. I'm apple shaped and tall... So I guess I'm losing more from the parts that my pants don't care about. I must have been more sausaged into my clothes than I was aware of. Also large breasts are still hangin in there so my shirts fit the same. The…

Tight hamstrings can cause cause a pelvic tilt that can lead to lower back pain especially if you're working the hams out. But... It could be a million different things. Maybe a bulging disc, annular tear or weak deep abdominal muscles (not the ones frequently worked out) ... Or work related especially if you sit at your…

You look totally stunning and are my personal hero. Amazing transformation. Amazing.

Busting your a** does weird things with the scale sometimes. I did P90x once and the scale did not move for 3 weeks. And then it did. A lot. Don't despair! Take measurements instead/in addition. Pay attention to how good you feel! Also... Two pounds ain't nothin- give yourself permission to feel good about ANY weight loss.…

Funny I've never really thought about it before... But I'm very comfortable naked (especially first thing in the morning) in front of mirrors and around my apartment I feel really good and beautiful. It's once I try to find an outfit to wear and then leave the house that I start feeling very uncomfortable. I don't compare…

Room for one more?

Basically you get concentrated fruit in the form sugar and calories (also in vitamins and minerals) but the juice of course is lacking in any fiber. Fiber slows your insulin response to the sugar and in turn hormones that stimulate hunger. It's best to eat the whole fruit... But green juice that includes things like…

Mini dark chocolate peanut butter cup. Its my bedtime snack. Im five years old haha :p

Lol I like your style. ;)

^^^ YES. GO girl get it get it. Thats AMAZING :)

Same. Im 5'9 and lost 20 pounds and a few inches... although still wearing the same size. And I cant really tell in the mirror. When I tell friends/fam I lost 20... they fake it for me. "OH Yeaaa I can TOTALLY tell..." No you cant because I CANT

Although lots of people have success this way... sounds like restricting food groups isnt sustainable for you. Youre telling yourself "no" everyday and it gets exhausting. Use the MFP logging and weigh your food. Eat what you like and create a deficit in your calories (you already work out plenty) Then you can allow for…

I just switched to plant based, no sugar, no processed food or wheat. I was CICO weighing my food allowing for eggs, meat, cheese, bread and treats as long as it "fit my macros" for 50 days and lost what I consider to beat small amount of water weight in the very beginning. I switched up my workouts, increased/decreased…

Personally, the cinnamon roll warmed is the business... and I HATE the taste of fake sugar. But! I found that after I ate one, without fail, I would develop stomach pain and indigestion. Booo

Dont beat yourself up! Youre learning as you go... its not easy!! Keep going you've got this :)

Im typing a reply to see what happens. Ive been "warned" by mfp and I dont know what that means. Jail bars on my comments? Maybe...

I like your style.

Brilliant ;)

Personally, I find that if im focused on the end goal... I feel overwhelmed at what seems impossible... which leads to "if i havnt lost 30 pounds yet then effe it im going to eat this whole pizza." If you can just tweak your mindset a bit... dont think about the dress and the big day.n. Think about making the best…

AMAZING. Also knickers are super cute ;)

I think I watch it because I see myself in the people. They have developed an unhealthy relationship with food and its caused them to lose control. I have too, although to a much lesser degree. Ive binged on junk and eaten fast food as my primary meals. I want to change my habits and goals. Be healthy and fit. My family…

Addictive issues. Hmm. Please dont rule out drugs being the primary issue... weight loss as a side effect. And Im sorry to be blunt but tough love is not letting her live in your house with her child and boyfriend while you wait for her to get her life straight. You said it yourself- she is an adult, making adult choices.…

Height: 5'9 SW: 190ish CW: 178 GW: I dont know? When I was 16 I lied on my drivers license stats... said I was 140 and I was nervous the police would be able to tell. It made me a very good driver. Hindsight I was probably pretty close to that weight, but because I was 5 inches taller than all of my girlfriends... I…

Counseling, like, right now. Respect, boundaries, trust... these things are needed in any healthy relationship. He should not be telling female friends he is attracted to them and not attracted to you. Even if its true. What a prick. And if he wont go to counsiling with you... please make an appointment for yourself. This…

Organic chocolate chai! So good.

HFCS, trans fats, anything low fat, high sodium, canola oil, sulphates, propylene glycol, processed meat/dairy, refined carbs, MSG, artificial colors and sweeteners. Basically all the things that made up my childhood.
