I ate this "cake" in the AM for a while, 233 calories per serving... http://paleomg.com/carrot-breakfast-protein-cake/

I'm in Portland as well if you want to walk sometime :smile:

So glad you decided to make a change. If you want some company on the road reach out!

Nice start, I'm with ya!

are we actually?

I loved crunch when it was my gym, but alas your schedule and mine don't align :(

Have you checked the local city/county library? Maybe pull some DVD's from there to spice it up from the ones you own? I also hear fitnessblender is good

I think your progress tells you to stay the course! I'd say you've done a lot of hard work and that there are days and times we all get tired of it. Especially when we don't see progress. Just recommit. Even if it's for 5 days at a time to logging in and logging it all and being active. See how you feel if you are being…

Indeed it is tough especially with 6 cafes and 8 coffee bars on campus here!

I'm looking for more motivational loggers too :)

Are you two still walking? If so I'd be down for a Sunday group :)

Yes winter makes it so hard to get moving some days, now that the weather is better I'm of course seeing my gain and getting back to moving/get in shape

I'm just about your same stats so feel free to add me

stalking is super fun, my fav part of friend's diaries

You can totally see a huge change in your body, and your hard work certainly shows. It is always hard for us to see the change, they say others/acquantainces will notice first, then close family and friends and finally us after like 2 months will notice. It's hard to see those changes when we see ourselves in a mirror…

yep almost the same as you feel free to add me :)

wraps for meals! can be meat free or w turkey slices and lots of veggies and hummus hummus and cucumber for snacks pb and apples self made trailmix from the bulk bins chips and salsa

bump to keep this for later all good knowledge

Amen to Pizza and chips/dips being a down fall. I don't buy dip anymore either. I try to plan for my pizza days if at all possible and get veggie pizza instead of all meat.

friends in the same boat are always welcome. I'll add you for sure.

dave's killer bread, not sure if it's disributed US wide or international yet, but pretty damn awesome. Granted 120 cal/slice on avg too but usually good high fiber and quality ingredients

tagging for later

Jillian Michael's DVD's are good for at home and don't require a ton of cost equipment wise to do!

twenties girl by sophie kinsella Not super brainy or anything but entertaining for sure and it's in Britan so plus! Only word of caution is that it deals w a girl post break up so that might not be the best for people depending on thier emotional/relational state.

I totally have this issue, not sure what your timeframe is for work etc, but I try to eat one thing ie my sandwhich or apple etc, and then read a chapter from my book, or get up and walk a bit and then come back, that way I am eating throughout my whole ~30 min rather than done in the first ten and wishing I had more to…

There are a couple of threads out there you can do a search on and come up with great lists. Especially if you want advice on a particular app for an activity ie running v lifting etc

The first month you tend to loose quicker and faster than the rest of the time as your body adjusts to your new changes. Considering it sounds like you've cut your calories by quite a bit and upped your exercise a lot, it's not surprising. I just don't think that rate of loss will continue, closer to 1kg a week is probably…

feel free to add me too I'm in about the same place of my journey and yes it can be a bit discouraging but don't look at other's #'s focus on you.

haven't heard of them, but I think I'd rather do it with just regular whole foods I can identify

I think you are just very serious and committed to your weightloss and goals. From the information you provided I think you are doing things in a very positive and realistic manner.
