Swallow if fried! Yumm!!! Pancakes!

This has been my experience, just want to share in case you may have something similar. I used to never feel like i could get enough sleep. There were several reasons. When I started dieting I cut my calories down too much. I wasn't giving my body the fuel it needed to be even remotely energetic. Once I increase my…

Awesome job! You look great!!!

Circuit training. I had to ask as well. Since you are consistantly moving from one workout to the next I can understand how it would be considered circuit training. Good luck!

Definately let your body rest! It will do no good to push yourself when you are sick. Try to increase your calorie intake and get extra rest. Otherwise you will find yourself sick far longer than necessary.

I forgot to put my weight! name= Raine (rainedays86) 01/01/12= 211.0

Well the day before weigh in I will drink a TON of extra water to flush any water weight out of my system. The following morning I will get up, potty, then strip down for my weigh in. I don't like weighing with clothes on, some clothes may only weigh a pound while others can make a difference of 3. So that is my weigh in…

IM SO JEALOUS! I am about 12 lbs from Onederland! That is so great! I am so very happy for you!!!

I think anger would have gotten the best of me in that situation and beat the hell outta that girl. I hate when people are mean, it's easy for them to look down on someone else when they have never been full figured. They don't realize how big of a challenge it is, and how much bravery it takes, just to walk into one of…

Thanks everyone! Its tough trying to stay positive sometimes. I was able to buy my first bra from VS and that was a success. I guess I was feeling over confident and just expected that the lingerie would look good on me too. My bf would be happy if I wore a trash bag to bed. lol I just want to feel as sexy as he thinks I…

I would love to be in! rainedays86/ Raine

I log everything. Some days that I feel I have over done myself alot. I will log it and realize I am only a few hundred over my calorie goal. And if it is early enough in the evening I will do some extra workouts to burn off those calories so I can end my day below. Hard work, but I learn my lesson when I am sweaty and…

Do you know the nutrition info? Sounds really yummy

I see a big difference! You look great!!! If you copy the image code from photobucket and just change the IMG parts to lower case img then the pics will show in your post! Congrats on your loss!

Welcome!!! Its the first day of the rest of your life! How great is that??!!! Just remember everyday you make it, you are one day closer to your goal!!! Feel free to add me as a friend! I would be happy to encourage you on this journey!

I am a smoker but I also have food cravings that smoking just doesnt help. Tonight for example, I really really REALLY wanted a butterfinger bar. I had enough calories to eat one but I decided I better get my workout in first so I don't feel guilty for eating it. I spent half an hour doing aerobics and once I was finished…

This is such a good idea!! I used to go pick up bags of potatoes at the supermarket just to feel the difference. It's so motivated to actually feel what your not carrying anymore! Great advice!!!

I still have days where I get frustrated and feel like I am not losing fast enough. As far as the cravings went and overeating, it took me awhile to adjust. For some reason I get into an odd mindset when it comes to tasty foods. I think "wow, this is really good. I need to eat it all now cause I don't know when I will have…

It's so weird as I lose weight things just keep shifting around. One minute I am like "Okay my body isn't too horrible" to then " Oh my gosh! What the heck happened!!" It's frustrating. 20 lbs ago my butt was still big but it was round. Now it's looking more flat and dimply. And I have noticed stretch marks that had…

I get the "your so cute" line from guys. and that i have a baby face. I know that looking young can be a good thing...but can't I look sexy?? I feel like the word cute just makes me feel like a child. Ugh.

I think that some people may not understand how someone could eat too few calories in a day. Alot of people gain weight from eating too many. And you may have gained weight at a time in your life when you WERE consuming more calories. Even though someone has gained weight doesn't mean that they always eat that way. A…

I think it just depends on the person really. Your BMR is the number of calories you can eat to maintain your body weight with zero activity. So I think if you spend 3 hours cleaning the house one day that it should be calculated. I don't count doing dishes or laundry if that is all I am doing. But if I am doing alot of…

Still have quite a bit to go but this is what I have done so far.

Thanks! I don't lift weights, I just walk daily and diet. So mine isn't from lifting. But maybe the diet change? Let us know if the vitamin works for you, maybe I should try!

I noticed when I was first losing weight that I would consistantly have odd bruising everywhere. Not sure why though. I am hoping it's normal. lol

Bumpity bump! Sounds super yummy! Totally gonna try it out! Do you know the calorie count in this?

You are so pretty!

I have a scale I got from Walmart for like 6.00 it's just simple, measures oz and has a measuring cup on top. It's small so it fits anywhere and functional. I don't need fancy gadgets. lol

I have done alot of research on the "excercise ball" you can do so many different workouts with it and tone up! You could even get one at walmart for super cheap. And just look up different exercises to do with the ball online. It will save you alot of money instead of spending on a big piece of gym equipment you can spend…
