Great job!! :)

Amazing! Great job :)

Absolutely amazing. What amazing inspiration!

That sounds like an AMAZING trip! We have actually found and starting working with a travel agent so I hope ours will be as good as yours was! We have already determined Italy doesn't fit easily into our budget- but maybe for 15 or 20 year Anniversary? :smiley:

Thank you everyone! I appreciate all the suggestions!!

I could see how this might be fun for some...however it would kind of defeat the purpose in our case. As I mentioned, we are treating this as a 2nd Honeymoon. The purpose is to have time for us to reconnect away from our crazy jobs and constant kids activities. :wink:

Awesome-This is super helpful! Thank you so much :smile:

I've heard that about Cancun for sure! Costa Rica and DR are also on our radar. Yes, please let me know how your trip is and I hope you have a great time!

Thanks, everyone! Awesome suggestions! I like the idea of working with a travel agent so I will probably look into that! I'm making a list of options to discuss with my husband! :blush:

Sounds wonderful! We are definitely looking at Jamaica and there as tons of all inclusives there. I'll go back and check out Montego Bay again! Lots of reviews for places in Jamaica say that when you're out on the beach that the locals are constantly approaching to buy weed or some other types of goods they've had and that…

Was pretty much going to post the same things said here!

I've lost 40 so far and people really didn't start saying anything until right around 30 but it definitely picked up the closer I got to 40! Most of the time it's running into someone that I haven't seen in a few months- not so much the people I see daily/weekly. ETA: 5'5'' SW: 208 CW: 167

This is not the perfect solution by any means, but if I don't have the calorie allowance for something sweet (which I always try to set some aside for) I try to reach for an ice cold diet soda or sugarfree gum. The sweetness of them just do the trick for me!

Following- but also- interested in what people eat w/ the chicken salad? Crackers, as a sandwich, pita, plain...?

Not new to logging but just wanted to say good job! :)

Welcome back! It's definitely not impossible- just trust the process! Congrats on the upcoming bundle of joy! Good luck! PS. I gained 35 lbs during my first pregnancy and my husband gained 45 lbs. He called it "sympathy weight" LOL. You're not alone! :tongue:

I have hypothyroidism. I've lost -40 lbs so far by counting calories and eating at 1500 calories per day. Also, since you say you're not on medication, I'm guessing you're self-diagnosed as hypothyroid which is very common for people who are struggling to lose weight. Do yourself a favor and buy a food scale- use it daily…

You must get cold very easily :tongue:

Agreed. Your logging is the likely culprit. You will get much more help by making your diary public.

Meh...they totally should! OP- if you aren't eating in store and can take home...maybe add some salsa if you have some. A dry salad is a sad salad. :)

French fries- sweets- chips and salsa (at a mexican restaurant)

20 minute walk on break at work 60 minute Cardio Class at the Y later tonight

It was my first time trying and I was not disappointed!! :yum:

Koala Bear

Wait it's National Peanut Butter Day?! I actually picked up one of these at Target today and had it with my lunch! Kind of out of character for me to do but now it all makes sense! :smirk:

Just a suggestion but salsa is very low calorie and a nice substitute for dressing! I would think Subway would have salsa!

Yes! Especially the bolded! I used these all of these excuses like nobody's business before I knew better, but at the time I made myself genuinely believe them so they really did not feel like excuses! Hindsight is a *kitten* sometimes!

You're probably right that it's more than "a few cents". I honestly made the switch and never looked back! I actually only eat eggs as hard boiled (for breakfast, salads, or before the gym) but if I ate them in some other form then I would definitely go the route of buying them raw and boiling some every now and then in…

Yikes at this thread! OP - come back and post this same question in March when there's less woo flying around, you'll be much less confused and much better off. :#
