thank you everyone!!! i wasn't sure where to start looking, so this has been very helpful!

i watch netflix on my phone. it's especially nice if the gym has free wifi!

tomorrow is a new day! keep this experience in mind for next time :) don't get down on yourself though! you've done well thus far and i am sure you will continue to make progress!

way to resist the temptation! those chips are my downfall too! if i eat one, it's all downhill from there...!

awesome!!!!!! it's all about the HARD WORK! keep it up!!!!

great job! keep it up!

i like to do both as well. i lost the pounds with doing mainly cardio and watching calories, but for body shaping and toning, weights are they way to go, for me at least. i did cardio alone for about 4 months and lost about 15 pounds. i have been doing weight/strength training in addition to about half the cardio for about…

GREAT JOB! i am so happy for you! keep up the excellent work!!!!

try using less avocado and supplement the dressing with other things, like non-fat plain greek yogurt. it's only 45 calories for 3 ounces (which is quite a bit). you still get the avocado flavor and benefits from the fats, etc, but less calories. i use it on taco salad all the time! avocado is one of my favorite foods!

i didn't realize that we weren't allowed to slightly deviate from the question in the title of the thread by giving a brief explanation of what our reasoning was for our answer to said question. that being said, i never said that your body doesn't get hydration or water from other drinks. my point is that there are other…

my point is that, although you may be getting "water" from soda, you're also getting a lot of other stuff that isn't good for you.

amazing

i wouldn't count soda. you want to drink a lot of "water", and if you think soda counts, then that may make you want to drink more soda to reach your "water" goal. then you'd be drinking lots of extra sugar, calories, or other fake, weird, unnatural stuff. if you want to drink a soda, just log it in the food diary. i'd…

congratulations!!!! :D

the only thing that looks the same about you is your glasses! AMAZING transformation! keep up the awesome hard work!!!!

wonderful! happy friday!

congrats! isn't it weird how we lose in random areas like this?? just wait until your shoes are too big!!!! i had to buy some new shoes, i was stepping out of my old ones! what a horrible problem... :)

well, i don't know what these other people are talking about... when i look at your photos, i see a huge difference! i am glad you are doing measurements, they don't lie! photos are good too, including these you posted! i definitely notice a difference in your overall waist/tummy area. keep up the good work!!!!

it's awesome to have a stranger compliment you like that! great job!

i'm friends with 300poundsdown. she's lost 217+ pounds and shows no sign of stopping!

it may be a long road ahead, but you are off to a fantastic start!!! i hope you are feeling encouraged from seeing these results in just 6 weeks! great job! :D

you are off to an amazing start!!! it won't be easy, but you can totally do it! keep up the good work!

happy birthday to you! :) and many, many more!

congratulations on your success thus far, you look beautiful! keep up the good work!

i lost about 10 pounds, went and bought a new pair of jeans. a month later, i had to go and exchange them for the next size down due to another 5 pounds loss! all the women in the store were high-fiving me for losing 2 sizes :) it's a great feeling! keep it up!

try this website to order some odd sized bras from: http://www.petticoatfair.com/index.html my husband's grandparents opened the store in 1964, and it's amazing! they have sizes up to a 56N

i normally just log things like this if i spend 4 hours walking around ikea and the outlet mall... but i don't list all 4 hours as walking since i definitely spend time in the fitting room while i'm there. i might log 1 hour, to be conservative and help me not go over, since i'm not sure. you could get like a fit bit or…

Pesto!!!! it's not exactly PESTO as you would be used to, but it's my healthier take on it. i love it on chicken with a little bit of whole wheat pasta. add in some sauteed mushrooms! 2 c fresh basil leaves 1/4 c pine nuts, toasted 1 garlic clove 1/4 t kosher salt 1/4 t black pepper zest and juice from one lemon 1 T EVOO 1…

i live in central austin. feel free to add me!

i have a great low cal and delicious pesto recipe that you can use for your basil, then throw it in the freezer!!! then just take out in the morning before work and it's defrosted and ready for dinner over some chicken. yummmmm
