  • This. Shoprite has some a good brand called Clear Delight. They have different flavors which is good so you don't get bored.
  • I had pomegranate in my yogurt yesterday. It was good! I also had a white bean salad with lots of peppers, green and white beans, and some other things I don't remember. Didn't get the arm curls in but I went swimming. I will do the arm curls today!
  • Thanks @2run2ski ! Yesterday I got my swim in and it was soooo good. In fact, when I put my bathing suit on, it was a little loose around the middle! Yay for that! :p I do need to get some good googles though. Tomorrow I go and will try to get weights and cardio in again. I am determined to use those machines!
  • I use Body tech - Whey Tech Pro 24 in the morning to help me hit my protein goal or if I go to the gym I have some when I get home. The Chocolate one is really good!
  • Two reasons. The first is that I am getting married in about a year and half. I don't want to look back at all my pictures and cringe. I have a lot to loose. Like over 100 lbs. I know that I won't be at my goal weight by the time my wedding comes around. But if I am down a good amount by then, I will be so happy. Because I…
  • Oh and Blueberries for desert!
  • Last night I had corn, Lima beans, and peas. Was yummy! Tried to do the arm lifts but one of my cats was not having it. He wanted all of my attention right then and there! Off to the gym tonight so I will get them in there.
  • I just signed up for the gym the other day and will be going for the second time tonight. I have no stamina either for the machines yet! LOL! But we will get there! Today though I want to go swimming finally!
  • I need all the help I can get with my arms. No upper body strength lol!
  • I am down 11 lbs but my pants size is still the same. I can feel a difference in my butt and thigh area. That is loose. My waist not so much. Wish we could target areas to loose but sadly we can not. It will happen though. Keep up the great work!
  • First.....WELCOME! You have come to the right place. You got this. And there are so many people here who will help you and cheer you on! Everyone has already given you some really great advise. Food scale is the best thing ever. Try to move more. It is getting nicer out so maybe try waking? Start off slow and short and…
  • I would gladly give you some of mine if I could.
  • Oh god I hope mine get smaller. Please oh please get smaller for love of my back! :smiley:
  • I am still kinda new at this but for me, eating better foods that help me stay under my calorie limit has not only helped me drop weight but it has also given me the boost in energy needed to go workout. To stay under my limit I have had to add more healthy options like fruits and veggies and chicken and stay away from…
  • LOL Yesterday I did my wall sits at work in the hallway too. My co-worker was there and we just chatted as I did them. Today I have a Strawberry and Banana smoothie. Yuuuuum. I had to get it at work. I really need a blender so I can make my own. So good.
  • hmmmm.....that sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing! I did not do my wall sits yesterday. My knees are bothering me. I am going to try and get them in today and maybe add an extra one each day to make up for. See how the knees go. I had my yougurt this morning and added fresh blueberries. Yummy stuff!
  • Big Welcome to all the new people! I have a lot of catching up to do! Last night I got lazy and did not do my workout. I haven't been sleeping well and my knees are bothering me. Last night I slept better and I have my new chair workouts that I am going to use the next few days to give my knees a break. Today is my 50th…
  • Welcome more new people! There are so many people here who want to help you! Add me if you like! Just wanted to add another really helpful seated exercise video. I like this one a little bit better then the other one I posted. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1xC9khisFPA
  • I did the wall sits yesterday.......but....I did them after doing 20min of aerobics soooo.....yeah that was painful lol! Today I will do them before I do my work out. This morning I had egg whites with a side of strawberry halves and some cantaloupe. Yummy!
  • Glad everyone liked the video! I started to use it because my knees are bothering me a bit. They are not used to all the exercise so I am trying to ease them back into it! @MischelM I love the bead in jars idea!! Such a colorful fun way to keep track of the journey! @melkithall For beating back the withdrawal of soada (aka…
  • Hi @3cuttercup and welcome! It can be hard to start eating right. The best thing you can do is get a food scale and measure your food whenever possible. Also start out with small changes. Cut back our cut out soda. Replace desert at night with fruit or yogurt. Use smaller plates at dinner to trick your mind. Fill half that…
  • Welcome to all the wonderful new people!! If you are looking for support / motivation you have come to the right place! Feel free to add me if you like! Last week I kind of let my exercise fall off a bit. I went out and walked more since it got nicer but I need to get back into working on my arms and stuff. So this week I…
  • I am in. Also I am a big fan of fruit so I am in for the food this week as well!
  • Sorry I am so behind on posting! Weekends are all over the place. Friday - I did my jumping jacks in my cube at work. I did them in the morning so only the building security laughed at me Saturday was spring cleaning so I did them in my bedroom. Boring. I know. Sunday I went to a brewery so I got some drunk dudes to do…
  • I am up at 5. Have a protein drink on my way to work around 6:15. Then have a Yogurt between 9 and 10. Lunch is between 12:30 and 1.
  • Yesterday I did my jumping jacks in my living room. I wasn't feeling great so I wasn't as creative. Today though is laundry day so I am going to do them in the Laundromat. :p Also today I had spinach in my egg wrap. Was pretty good!
  • Great Job @want2behappy31!!! Keep at it and it will happen. t is raining here today too so I will either do my indoor walking DVD or a 30 Day Shred. I am taking my time with the Shred one so it will be longer then 30 days but I will get through the whole thing! If you want, blast some music and dance around your house for…
  • Good Morning! Today's Jumping Jacks were done in the bathroom at work. The cleaning lady thought I was nuts but by the end she was giggling. Also the cafeteria at work has a Whole Grain Super Salad today. It has I think kale and other leafy greens in it. I will try it and let you know what is in it lol! Have a great day…
  • Did my jumping jacks! Not at the park but on my front lawn with all the kids on the block. The parents had a good laugh
  • I am ready to start the challenge today. I like the idea of trying to do them in funny places. As someone who took part in GISHWHES I really want to incorporate that fun side. Today I am wearing a dress so I am going to try and go out to Central Park on my lunch break and do them there in my dress. See how busy it gets! As…
