  • It's cookie week at work aka torture week. I am definitely a savory over sweet type of gal, but it's still hard to resist day in and day out. Doing pretty good so far. Last day at work this week and then headed into a vacation. More temptation!!
  • Indiana!
  • Your day sounds similar to mine but I have been getting closer and closer to 10k throughout the day with the help of my watch reminding me to stand and move around. I keep an eye on my steps and even though I am NOT motivated at night, will try to get at least the 10k in on the treadmill. I generally come home, make…
  • I started mine in early November knowing it would be hard around the holidays, but instead of waiting, I went for it and have lost 8 pounds. Have I been perfect each and every day? No. Have I at least tried? Yes. Do I beat myself up if I indulge and have one meal that I know I could have made a better choice on? No. I…
  • I don't think I could ever look THAT good, plus I am super short at 5'1" tall, but I do wish I was leaner and more toned/flexible. I hit my highest weight at 134 and was like, STOP!!! I cannot keep watching the scale go up. So, a little over 4 weeks ago I started logging food, tracking calories, attempting to eat better…
  • Hi there, and welcome! I am also new. I am on my 5th week of my diet. Wow, I can't believe it's been that long already! I've lost 7 pounds of the 30 I want to lose and I am loving the process, mostly.
  • Hi there, I am 41 and trying to lose 30 pounds to bring me back to where I was when I moved back home and was very active. Unfortunately the move changed my lifestyle in good ways, but also in very unhealthy ways because I went from being super active and on my feet, a lot, to almost 100% sedentary. Some things have…
  • Hi all, I'm in Indiana. I spend my days working in the heart of Indianapolis and retreat to my dream home about an hour east of Indy. My husband and I live in a wood cabin on some land surrounded by cornfields and cows. :) We have a little pond and a couple of ducks who have adopted us. I love seeing the wildlife at home.…
  • Hello, newbie here. I started my "diet" 4 weeks ago with the goal of losing a pound a week, increasing my activity levels and trying to eat a salad a day. I've lost 6.1 pounds so far and I have been using the treadmill some (although still not as much as I probably should) and I have been doing pretty good at logging…
  • I'm still debating on whether I want to do a "reward" besides simply losing weight and getting healthier with a better diet and more activity. I guess if I wanted to reward myself, it might be to have a nice meal out without tracking it, some wine one evening, or maybe a burger from one of my favorite places to grab a…
  • Sitting at a reference desk in a library. *puts on librarian hat*
  • https://youtube.com/watch?v=eVM1nUmDHHc&t=31s Not sure if that will work, but who remembers... REN AND STIMPY! I think I may have dated myself there.
  • Right now I've been trying to do a salad a day for dinner... and this week I have sweet potatoes for lunch. Came down with a cold so I've been doing chicken noodle soup for dinner though. I've also been trying to convert unhealthy go to favorites into healthier homemade versions, like the box pasta salads. chipotle burrito…
  • I've been experimenting with making my own version of this, too! I used the zataran's cilantro lime rice but was thinking I could do brown rice and make it myself to be healthier, but the quinoa is a great idea!!
  • Do you like sweet potatoes? I am having them this week for lunches. Cooked them all overnight in the crockpot and then just reheat at lunch. I did some searches for healthy and filling toppings for them. Today I am trying some of the PB powder to add protein (and I love PB) and some pecans (crushed up) with some cinnamon,…
