my husband doesn't like most vegetables, but when they are hidden in sauces or paired in smoothies with other strong flavors, it makes it a lot better! A lot of these suggestions are good places to start!

QFT! I of course found this thread when I was hungry.... Now I am going to shut down my computer and pretend I didn't see any of this!

Planning planning planning! I used to think that eating healthy was sooooo expensive, but what it was is I would go shopping for me and my husband, then I would want all of the other crap (go out to eat, get a frozen pizza). This last week (especially due to finances changing) I planned out all of the meals that we would…

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!

This!!!! eta: I meant to quote the person who said the phone app. It tells me if I haven't logged any food by 10 am. It's a nice reminder!

I'm 26, 5'7" and 232 right now. I would love some more friends for motivation!

If you are using a BMR estimator and you have factored in your exercise, you would not eat back your calories for exercise. that has already been figured into your BMR.

you look amazing! what a transformation! keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

^^This! go on pintrest- there are a ton of bodywork exercise routines that are short and sweet, with limited jumping! I usually double my bras as well. I know one day I'll invest in a really nice sports bra, but if I have 2 of the cheap ones, why not double them up?

If only they had stopped at "have you lost more weight"....

Your salad sounds amazing... yummmm

This is pretty much what I was going to say. QFT.

oh, also "in" to be "in" the "in" crowd :laugh:

nutritious can be a very vague word...

This was so true. I love the blerch.... I have quite the obnoxious one!

well that was a clusterf**k ......:huh:

QFT. I did this (several times because I don't learn my lesson the first time). You will walk, you will take breaks, but DO NOT QUIT! Just keep moving. Make sure you have an mp3 player with some motivating/pump up music, so when you get down, you can get back into the groove. GOOD LUCK!

awesome NSV! That's wonderful!

But then the upper leg is hidden.... skimpy kilt?

Wait... there's outfits??? That's just not fair... Well they should be easy enough to make, right? A string and cloth to make a loin cloth..... :laugh:

bump- I'm glad someone asked, because I want to start using it, but the few that I tried I didn't like. I don't do well with artificial sweeteners :frown: anyone have any suggestions for that?

What were her achievements? Pretty sure science doesn't give a *kitten* whether or not you have a pretty face. If you do good things, you'll get recognized. She probably THINKS she made a contribution to science. It must be interesting to be inside her head at the center of the world.... :noway:

I was SO pissed when this happened!!!! Just give me my damn extra slice of cheese! :grumble:

I can't even imagine the shell shock that you encountered, but your attitude is the way to go. Wishing you the best on your fight! You can beat this!

I see where this could be plausible, but I agree with most posters here about the junk food not being a problem. I was very active in high school and I ate TONS of crap and I was the smallest I've ever been. I didn't start gaining weight until I wasn't as active anymore. It needs to be about activity AND diet. Parent's…

I'd assume that it's water weight. Also, your weight can fluctuate from day to day. I've had it where mine has gone up three pounds due to high sodium, then back down 5 pounds. I wouldn't expect it to continue :ohwell:

WOW! I'd love to share this story with my mom, so hopefully she can make a similar transformation. How wonderful! As far as my inspiration, I'd have to say it's my friend. She has lost 60 pounds in a little over a year and a half, between having a son, being a single mom, being diagnosed with MS and going to school/working…

wow! :love: Beautifully said! Love it! This is how I feel trying to decide officially what's healthy. I've thrown in the towel and I'm winging it.

Yea Magic Mike definitely lacked plot line. I think they were hoping that the stripping would make up for it. It didn't.
