Since he doesn't respond to take- aways, what about incentives? Like if he gets good grades next term you will buy him a new phone or something of that nature?

I always make a batch of whole wheat blueberry pancakes. They are about 160 cals. I use Smuckers sugar free syrup, its about 20 cals.

Oh it's definitely noticeable! Great work!!! Other people may be jealous of your hard work and will power, others just think weight is an awkward topic these are reasons people may not comment. Sometimes people that see you every day don't notice the big picture change because they saw the gradual loss, also a possibility.…

I eat pretty high protein. It tends to keep me full :)

I love it but mine does not come apart so it is a pain in my butt to clean! That's the only reason I don't use it that often. I am a lazy cook!

Great advice from all!!! I'm not high on funds right now so I will log the lowest until I can compare using a HRM :) I'm not big on eating my calories back either, usually I just don't.

I'm an American and I learned the this in 8th grade as a part of my schools curriculum. I just simply have forgotten a lot of information and would likely have similar a similar response. If you would have asked me in 8th grade or a couple years after that I would have done it perfectly. This is something we should…

I'm a chick but.... Yes to the walking to the door. Meet dad, give him a firm handshake tell him about your plans for the night (where you are going), I'm not sure how old you are but if she lives with her parents it may be appropriate to ask if she has a curfew. Yes to opening the car door for her too! I always liked that…

Charliebelin thank you so much for the suggestions, I will start incorporating the foods that you recommended. I am trying to move towards more green food. I will try to blend a tad in with fruit smoothie to mask the taste lol maybe that will help! Thanks again, I appreciate it!

I usually do about 20-25 minutes on the elliptical a day. Today I had a half hour tennis lesson. My diet is tricky, I am SO picky. I do not like any green foods, except kiwi. I eat like a kid for the most part. If you have any good foods you'd like to recommend I'm up to try them as long as they aren't green.

If I drink a lot of water will this combat the sodium? I drink a minimum of 4 cups a day and have recently made it to 9 cups. I would be really sad to see some of those high sodium things go :( But I've gotta do what I've gotta do.

I do my husband's laundry and cook for him, but he does the same for me. Be prepared to do 50% of the work or more on some days :)

I have hated the taste of bananas since I was a baby. I pick the granola. If say an orange were more calories than a granola bar, I'd pick the orange :)

Not sure if disgusted or impressed. lol

Thank you for the support :) I have stayed true to my healthy eating and have not binged, I've been eating better since the beginning of December. I have been stuck at the same weight for a while now, which is discouraging. I appreciate your niceness!

They gotta start some where! Might be a trust issue with the machines too..

Thank you bwogilvie! I will check out your links! I don't want to be skinny fat that's just a waste of time!

That is rough to hear from a "parent". I saw a quote once that said something along the lines of building your child's self esteem up really high because the world will do nothing but try to tear it down. This may be something you will have to do a lot of for yourself, but keep it in mind for when/if you have children. The…

I think that as a society we have put a lot of pressure into making women think they need an hour glass figure, this in turn means you need boobs and butt!. Boobs are the most visible so that tends to be the primary focus in this concept. I personally do not have implants but I would never look down at someone who did. If…

Thank you to editorgrrl and mammamaurer as well! I will try to add some cardio to my days and utilize the websites you have given me!

I just went into setting and made my food diary public! I had the flu a week during December so you will see about 4-5 days of nothing logged except Gatorade because I was very nauseated. Also that was a great guess on my height because I'm about 5'5'' or 5'6'' on a good day haha! Thank you for all of your tips I will be…

YESTERDAY. Momma's breakfast platter at the Cracker Barrel. 3 pancakes, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage links which came to about 1100 calories I believe. I didn't eat the whole thing so I logged it as .75 of the platter which counted me out at 900ish calories. uhggggg the regret lol. I did my crunches and burpees to try to…

We are at about the same height and I am at about what your starting weight was! I will add you :)

Love the topic! Thanks for posting :)

I'm from America, Michigan actually :) I'm close enough to Canada to get a taste of that fun weather though!

I had tried phentermine last year, I did lose about 15 pounds. I have since then gained it back and am now trying to do it the old fashioned way. Phentermine took about 3 days to really start kicking in however my doctor started me out cutting them in half for the first 2 days. I was really off the wall energetic, not…

If he's a creeper, you gotta give him the face. This is the face -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wRXa971Xw0

@ hstoblish- That is an awesome one piece, I love it! ALSO now you've got me fantasizing about my future body and all of the wonderful swimsuits I will be able to wear! sigh... I should probably buy a goal bikini :)

I thought about it but fear the knife! I don't think I'd want implants, maybe more of a lift. Also I have severe stretch marks from pregnancy several years ago so I'd like a tummy tuck along with the lift. Maybe my stretch marks will look better with weight loss and it might not be necessary, who knows! I did get my…

At least you are brave enough to talk to the sales people about your size! When I walk in I always give them the classic "just looking" it's my polite way of saying "Yes I may need some help but I'm not willing to share anything about my body with you" haha! Jeans shopping has always been miserable for me, I have very wide…
