You can add me on here if you want. I just came back on here after years of neglect lol. I could use some motivation as well. I don't know if i'll be posting daily but plan to be around often.

bregalad5: isn't it! :) SMarie10: Oh the couch, I think i made a groove in it! i started exchanging cushions it was so bad! You're so right, it really does become part of who you are. That's so great to hear it's change your life, what a nice feeling. I am slowly getting there, one day at a time :) I appreciate your feed…

Hahah! Yes totally. I even bought a yummy smelling body spray today on my walk and now i'm reorganizing my bathroom! haha

Hello, That sounds awesome! You can do it for sure. This site is a great source of inspiration and support. and it's fun to see the results :)

I used to have the same issue. now that i'm working out more i eat more veggies and stuff so, I just buy less. I eat my food in about a week and a half then go shopping again. :) it's good exercise to walk to the store and back with groceries anyways :)

Well that's good to hear. have you gained size in your neck?

that's good to know. I didn't think i'd be losing major inches just thought maybe it would stay the same or get smaller not get bigger. lol

haha no~!

wow you can sure see a difference in your legs. way to go girl! that's so awesome! keep it up :)

:noway:

I had a look at your diary and i don't know if you're actually keeping track of everything but if you are, you seem to be missing meals and eating way under your calorie intake for the day. and that alone would be the reason you are gaining weight. Make sure you get your exercises/calories(healthy) and water for the day…

THEY WERE GREAT! i actually wanting to eat all the "batter" and not cook anything it was like a delicious chocolate banana pudding. mmmm! I cooked them with half the sugar, spinkled some carob chips on top and froze them. I'd probably add full sugar in next time. but great over all and even better frozen.

Now that i'm paying attention it really makes sense. I sweat all that salt out, i should probably replenish! I'm going to throw a few olives and beets in the mix more often :)

cheeks: I'm not sure how that relates to my topic.

it seems normal to me. we don't need a lot of meat in a day. If you're working out hard then your required protien goes up, just be sure to balance it out through out during the day and right after workouts.

Wohoo! Good luck! i'm almost 3 weeks in. I just love this site. Time flies so fast and before you know it you feel great and are dropping the pounds :) If you're not hungry you're probably fine. Keep in mind things like climbing hills count towards your cardio and if you just put walking, it's based off of going relatively…

Welcome! This site is awesome. log everything and be honest with yourself and you'll do great! There's a lot of support on the site if you add some friends :) If you have no idea how to work out and balance your body then yes a trainer would be helpful but really if you don't wanna keep yourself in check, a trainer can…

I find by entering in what i plan to eat before i eat it helps keep me in check. try that? And come on every day. don't lie to yourself and you'll be much more satisfied with your results. feeling good will motivate you to continue,

What are you having trouble with as far as counting calories? the act of doing it or finding the foods in the database? A normal person loses about a pound a week so gaining 2 pounds in 2 weeks is normal. You just have to take care of yourself. Get out for walks 15 mins a day in the morning and the rest of your day will…

hehe! I love this site too. It's really inspired some delicious meals now that i know what i should be eating. and yep i agree the support is awesome. Everyone is so positive. love it all

It's all been said. I look forward to hearing of your progress :)! fuel that body <3

Since this topic might draw those who are interested in black bean brownies i thought i'd add this. Probably fudgey but seem delicious using real/raw & healthy ingredients. I just found these http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/vegan-blackbean-brownies/ I may vary on the ingredients but i'll let you guys know what i thought…

wow support for health and wealth? I'm loving this site so much! hah I'm down! I know nothing about dave ramsey though.. Do i need to to take part?

I was going to make a thread about tea but i found this thread. I've definitely found the same thing. I've been drinking Ginger Tea Organic/Natural forget the brand, but i can tell you if you want to know. It actually aids digestion which i tend to have trouble with, so lately i've been having it later at night when i have…

that's really amazing. I don't think it's creepy at all :) your aunt looks out for you- that's a wonderful lucky thing.

good for you. once you stop eating those types of sugars your tastebuds will adjust and you'll start realizing how much they just taste like horrible chemicals. I haven't drank pop/soda(for you americans lol) in years like 10 plus years, maybe a total of 1 litre of pop in that time and non in the last 3 years. I feel…

Being under is fine, but not eating 500 calories is a lot to miss out on in a day. Remember your body needs fuel. If you want to burn fat, you need to build muscle and to do that you need to eat after a hard workout and throughout the day because it is feeding those muscles. listen to your body, if it's crying out for…

Yes, i've OD'd on water before. And there was a record of someone dying because they drank too much water and held their pee in for a radio contest. Basically, listen to your body, if you're full, there's a reason. if you're not, keep drinking.

It's probably a blessing in disguise for you (your allergies). Enriched flours and stuff are terrible for you. full of chemicals and false nutrients for the most part. I can't eat corn cause it causes weight gain and i have trouble drinking more than an ounce of milk if i'm not working our hard. I'm really focus on health…

try doing pilates. even just 15 mins a day. The first time i lost a lot of weight and when i was at my smallest i was very straight in shape because i had a strong core. All i did was pilates and taebo. So the squats and kicking to the side helped a lot but it all comes back to having a strong core to tighten that area up.…
