Um ... sometimes just my fingers? Lol I love salsa!

When I started working out for realsies, I couldn't do a single real burpee. This week I did nearly 300 in one workout - which was awful! Lol (took me 2 years to get there). I couldn't climb the rope for nearly a year. Now I can do 11-12 times in 3 min. I never did a "real man" push-up until this year. Now I can do 30-40.…

If you are a garage saler, check there. I just had a sale and sold all my XL clothes ... tanks, sports bras, leggings ... I wasn't sure people would buy that stuff but I washed it all and staged it on a table that said "Get your fit on!" And the table was cleared off almost immediately! Lots of Under Armour and Nike stuff…

Do a search for the zillion threads asking the same. Sorry to say there are no shortcuts. Eat in a calorie deficit. Exercise if you want. Coming from someone down 113 lbs! You can do it if you commit!

A hair over 5'9 here. Started at 284. Down to 171. Looking to get to 150-155!

What is your height, starting weight, gender?

Totally trying this tomorrow!

12449 here with time on the clock! But it's getting to be lazy time for me. Lol

At least you logged it! Move a little more tomorrow and move on!

This was the recipe I used. Amazing!

Not sure why it took me so long to try crack slaw but I made it last night and it was frickin' delicious! Added lots of sriracha and served in lettuce cups. Definitely on the dinner rotation!

Totally the worst when that happens! Lol Happened to me the last time I had Taco Bell (which I used to love!) Made room for a chili cheese burrito and nachos bellgrande and it was not nearly as good as I was remembering. I regretted the caloric expenditure!

I love fried chicken. I don't see it often but Banquet makes a frozen skinless fried chicken that you can bake that is actually pretty tasty and the calories are easy to fit in to a dinner!

Pleased to report that the birthday cake flavor Halo Top with a shot of vodka yields a similarly tasty and relatively low calorie result! Lol

113 and counting (66 since finding this app!)

I have had a successful weekend of avoiding. Had my headphones in and just gave a nod a wave.

3 more pounds until I am officially in the "normal Weight" BMI. At a half pound a week deficit that's 6 more long weeks but I will get there!

Fiber One Peanut Butter bar

Argh. Thanks for the advice, everyone. I am so awkward with difficult public situations and this has thrown me off. But I am going to minimize contact - headphones on, moving with a purpose and being direct about my time limitations and views if I have to. And I am totally buying more rainbow workout gear!

Sooo ... what if, in the process of trying to be a nice, good person ... you find out that your "gym stalker" has beliefs completely the opposite of you?? I had lots of time yesterday so I made it a point to chat with her ... she almost immediately launched into a rant about how she had disowned her granddaughter for…

I just made pesto for the first time because I desperately wanted to use my cool mortar and pestle. Lol What I discovered was I spent a whole bunch more on ingredients than buying the jar at the store and it didn't taste as good. But I am a pretty lousy cook, so .... Good luck!

Push them down, grab it and run reaaalllly fast? Lol

A couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream and a handful of fresh berries ... A Halo Top milkshake (see my recipe for Boozy Halo Top milkshake posted here. Lol - minus the booze, if desired!) A graham cracker with a thin peanut butter or light cream cheese coating ... I am not a dessert/sweets person usually but these do the…

It's a long process! 100 pounds took me nearly two years of careful logging and just "sticking with it" - you can do it!

If it helps, I find exercising gives me more energy. Even if I am tired when I start, by the end of 30 min I feel rejuvenated. You can do it!

PB2 powder and cinnamon

You don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. Sandwiches. Leftovers. Green smoothies. Avocado toast.

I was craving pasta tonight but had no noodles and was too lazy to go to the store. So I just microwaved a bag of frozen broccoli, topped with sauce and a serving of frozen Tyson chicken breast. Delicious, filling and low cal!

I love Vegas! If you have been weighing and measuring you probably have a good idea of what is a reasonable portion. Many restaurant meals are huge - you can always share an entree with someone or try appetizers or tapas. Julian Serrano at Aria has great tapas - high quality, small portions. And you'll walk a ton in Vegas…

See, this is why I asked here. In my "real life" I have several people saying "creepy - call the cops/mgmt" and others saying "just be nice." I am in no way leaning toward cops/mgmt. Lol - I really do think she is just a lonely lady (for whatever reason!) who latched on to my initial kindness. Telling this situation to…
