NO WHEY!! I add a scoop of whey powder (EAS brand) in my EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control "frappuccino" (blend with coffee and ice) to get extra calories and extra protein. And extra yummyness.

I wish we could hang out. I like you.

While I'm not exclusively Paleo by any means, I really enjoy every recipe in "Everyday Paleo" by Sarag Fragoso. I've also found that while choosing filling foods within my calorie goal, Paleo foods most naturally accomplish that while still being delicious! I just can't live without black beans, though, so I could never be…

I.HEART.THIS.

My husband described his ex this way. He said "If she perceived another woman as attractive, she felt that the woman had x-amount of beauty that she then couldn't have, as if beauty were a finite thing." It came up because I was saying things to him like "You've got to see the rack coming your way - quick - 10:00!" And he…

I really think people have trouble realizing they truly can eat ANY type of food they want if they just track it and stay within the goal. Did you know that 2 slices of thin crust pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut is only 500 calories? Their veggie lovers is only 440 for 2 slices & chicken supreme is just 460 for 2 slices.…

3 fried chicken strips (entree only) from Chick-fil-a are only 360 calories and their buffalo sauce is only 10 calories. They'll also give you a HUGE water in the giant styrofoam cup for free. It's my go-to fast food meal if I'm in a hurry or if I'm craving it.

I sell upscale clothing from my home, and needless to say, have way too much. I went through all of my clothes and tried everything on about 10 days ago, getting rid of what I didn't love, making a "seamstress pile", and separating the things that were too small on their own rack. I'm so bad, I own some pants in 2 sizes!…

In the words of Bob Newhart, "Just stop it" I'm curious why you're starting WW. MFP takes out the step of converting to points and is free!

Your A1C numbers ALONE are cause to celebrate. I can't even list how many aspects of your longevity and health you've wiped out with that reduction! This nurse applauds you!

Mine is open. You'll love today's entries. : )

I tried getting to the "My Inspiration" part but your ridiculous obnoxious self-righteousness was my inspiration to move on.

^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^ I was SO wrong in my head FOR so long - I associated exercise with weight loss. Now I'm beginning to really accept and understand that it's my dietary habits that lead to a healthy (or unhealthy) weight and the exercise is for making my body look better once the fat layers have decreased! Whenever I would…

A straw. And when I'm feeling REALLY wacky, ICE!

I'm not sure how the TM compares with a Warrior Dash, but I did the WD completely out of shape and with no training and it was fine. I didn't win, though. LOL The climb up the wall and the jump to the pole I had to slide down was scary, but that wasn't an issue of being in shape.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG :noway: PEOPLE DO THIS? You need serious help, man. And I work in a mental hospital.

LOOK AT YOUR WAIST! Your pictures are so motivating. Thanks for posting!

Did I misread her post or did she reply that she is "playing frisbee and carrying her son around"? This is NOT treading water. Also, unless you're wearing a HRM during exercise, I wouldn't feel comfortable logging exercise calories unless they were reduced by about 30% (I'm no expert of course).

bump for after work where I can see the pics!

I cannot even begin to tell you how helpful this was. Thank you!:flowerforyou:

IN because of the amputation.

I'm at work and Photobucket is blocked, but if you'll click on my username and go to my profile I have a 7 week B/A photo that I think shows a difference. You may see more results in measurements than in weight.

Crystal Light has 5 calories per serving. One packet that you put in a water bottle is 2 servings, so each packet is 10 calories. Still not much, but it does have calories (at least all the flavors I like do!) Drink up!

^^^^Now there's a person I'd like to know.

What does QFT mean?

you look TEN years younger and SO GREAT! Congrats!

Totally me. I would look in the mirror and see myself as thin. Then I didn't know who the fat lady in the pictures was. I'm getting back to looking like myself now and it sure is nice.

LOVE ALL OF THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For me, my revelation was that my overeating was mainly caused by a "spiteful" attitude about some situations in my life. I realized that I was exerting my "power" over the only thing i really felt I had control over, which was what i ate, how much, and when. In actuality, this was…

You can totally do this - just don't get discouraged by the natural fluctuations in your weight. I weigh every day even though I know I should only really weigh once a week (at most). accountability is KEY so log everything and be honest. Let yourself eat whatever you want -but LOG IT. Move your body. Do something. At…
