I eat sour patch kids once a week. Knowing that I get that treat once a week keeps my eating in check so far. Plus, I just don't buy any extra junk. Even my kids snack on fruits and veggies so we really don't have tempting foods in the house, which really helps.

Wow! You look great! Congrats on your hard work!

Congrats! You look amazing! Would love to hear what your gym routine consisted of! I just started walking/running again and am looking for some ideas for cross training days. :-)

Crap, didn't get to my goals today. I guess they will now become tomorrow's goals.

So far this concept is working great, guess I will keep it going! Tomorrow I will: 1. Log every meal, snack and bite I eat 2. Walk/jog on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes

Water or a 70ish cal latte does the trick for me.

Had to nurse my sick kids and myself the last few days, but I'm back with goals! Tomorrow I will: 1. Walk on the treadmill for a minimum of 30 minutes 2. Make a home cooked meal focusing mostly on veggies 3. Plan our meals for the rest of the week

So far so good, both goals for today complete! Keeping it going! Tomorrow I will: 1. Pack my lunch for work 2. Walk at least 30 min on the treadmill before work

I love this!!!

Summer for sure.

In all honesty? Boob job and tummy tuck (or lift if I keep a good amount of mass following hitting my goal), haha! I would love to get rid of this c-section apron and have my boobs look perky again. Some may think it's vain and selfish, but I'm not really bothered by others opinions on the matter. :-)

I am intrigued by them, but haven't had a chance to make them yet. I actually really like cauliflower so I think once I finally do try them I will like them.

I once ordered the wrong vegan protein shake by mistake and thought I'd give it a go, it was awful! I couldn't even finish one shake.

I can no longer drink diet soda, it tastes way too sweet and way too artificial. Not upset about it one but though.

You've done a wonderful job, you must be so proud of yourself!

Ideally 50-60 lbs. More importantly I just want to feel healthy and physically fit, and if that happens at a higher weight that's fine too.

Do not be too hard on yourself. Realize that your fiancé finds you beautiful and loves you for you and that's all that matters.

Not a college student, but you can add me. :-)

Boredom is reason #1 for me. As long as I keep my mind occupied I am okay. To counteract the boredom I have started an adult coloring book, increased my reading time and started exercising at home. I'm a third shifter so am up at night a lot by myself so boredom is more common at this time. It has definitely helped to…

I gave my son the Reeses peanut butter cups I had been saving/hiding since Christmas.

This is a toughy. Of course I agree that people should not be judged based on their body size or weight. But, a total Fat Acceptance Movement does somewhat bother me. It seems that obesity has become normal for our society as a whole. In the United States a women's size 16 is now considered average, that's crazy! How can…

Realizing I was a 31 year old that felt much older due to aches and pains. Everyday after work I would come home and instantly sit down because my knees and/or ankles would be so sore. I finally came to the realization that the aches and pains I was experiencing were caused by the lifestyle I chose to live. How crazy is…

While pre-diabetes does sound scary, just remember it could be worse. Your doctor could have told you you're a full blown diabetic. Pre-diabetes can be a wakeup call to make healthy changes to your lifestyle. Don't let this diagnosis defeat you, let it motivate you instead.

I have contemplated it so many times, but the possible side effects just isn't worth it to me. :-(

Add me please? I live on a lake and spend the summer on a boat in a bathing suit. I would love to be on better shape than last year, my goal is to knee board again this year.

I track the same way as your gf. My day starts when I get up and ends when I finally go to sleep. It just made sense for me to do it this way.

The changes in your face are amazing, you look like a totally different person! Excellent job so far, definitely a success worth celebrating. Keep up the good work!

I love McDonald's breakfast! I have an egg white delight every other Saturday after I get off of work. It fits in my calorie goal just fine and I feel no shame eating it.

Currently I attend a bootcamp, but it is so expensive and my work schedule changed so it's just not as convenient to go anymore. My husband is in the hunt for a squat/bench rack right now. We try to by everything used to save money so it may take a bit to find one. These are all great ideas though! We are excited to get it…

I use a pea protein powder, whey protein upsets my stomach.
