Today for the first time in I don't know how long I wore a belt (yay it fits now and I actually needed it to keep my pants up!) and tucked my shirt in without looking preggo! Have had to get rid of one pair of pants that were too big, looking forward to getting rid of many more!

I'm in, I made it through August without any (not counting a sip of my husbands here or there while we were out to taste whatever interesting cocktail he was drinking) Lost 11 lbs in August doing this it's really made a difference. I think I may make a one day exception for Labor Day though =)

My September goals are -4 spin classes a week -2 circuit/weights classes a week -Lose 10lbs and or a pants size -Try to incorporate more veggies beyond just a green smoothie a day -Keep going with cutting out alcohol - has made a huge difference in August, going to have to have a labor day exception though =)

I'm 5'6" I eat 1600 spin class 4x a week strength circuit class 2x a week I don't tend to eat more or less dependent on exercise as I figure it evens out in the end and I like to have some "padding" if I go over on the weekends. I will say that (sadly for me) cutting out alcohol for all if August has made a big difference.…

I make these asian turkey meatballs a lot, they are fantastic, also good leftover for lunch! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/01/asian-turkey-meatballs-with-lime-sesame.html

I love this recipe for tomato corn and basil salad with a lemony vinaigrette - http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-grain-salad-with-tomatoes-fresh-corn-and-basil-recipes-from-the-kitchn-205539

I've been assembling "bento" boxes the night before with the rubbermaid lunch blox containers, usually some combination of lunchmeat or leftover chicken from dinner, lowfat cheese, hard boiled eggs, and hummus and veggies. I like that nutrition wise it adds up to what I need for lunch, but it allows me to snack at my desk…

I made a quinoa paella a few weeks ago that was fantastic! 1.00 oz., Roasted Red Pepper 3.00 piece, Tomatoes, sun-dried, packed in oil, drained 1.00 large, Onions, raw 1.00 container (1 4/5 cups ea.), Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (Corrected) 0.50 cup chopped, Peppers - Orange - Raw 1.00 tablespoon, Oil - Olive 16.00 oz,…

I make a frittata every Sunday (this week's was ham, lowfat cheddar, onions, quinoa, eggs and egg whites) I have that and a green smoothie (banana, spinach, orange or pineapple, strawberry, whey protein, sometimes greek yogurt - this makes a big smoothie that I split with my husband)

I usually go with egg drop soup and steamed dumplings

I'm @ 5'6" my current goal is to get to 150 (31.6 lbs to go ugh) I may go lower than that, I really just want to fit into the clothes in my closet again - realistically I think I should be a size 6 or 8 rather than the current size 12. . .

Please add me if there is still room =)

I just got the variable speed one a few weeks ago, (got sucked in by the demo guy at Sam's club!) I haven't tried beets in it but it has been able to handle anything I have put in it - frozen bananas, berries, whole apples etc. I have been putting spinach and kale in my smoothies in the morning (along with pineapple, and…
