Another vote for eBay!! (I know a lady who sells there...)

I really like the Special K also, but I prefer the plain ones. To me they taste like a wheat thin. I love that I get a satisfying pile instead of 5-6 crackers. :)

Hi neighbor! You can add me too if you want :)

I don't have a product to endorse. Except maybe my elliptical, which is less than a year old and broken in 2 places. No restaurant that I frequent, no magic product, nothing to sell. :(

I feel your pain. My calorie count is to lose 1.5 lbs a week, and I haven't lost a pound in a month. I am under my cal goal 5 days out of 7. Last week I decided to re-commit. Healthier food, more exercising. It is getting harder to do with no success. Grr. But I am still doing it. If nothing else, I am becoming healthier.…

We'll be hunting too. Mr. Wonderful, DS (13) and I will all get at least one deer.

Agree!

YES!!! Me too.

I do much better during the school year too. I have managed to lose 5 pounds this summer. A HUGE win for me!!

You know divi, you are part of the reason I've lost as much as I have. You'd post weight loss on FB, and I 'd be awed by your dedication and hard work. :) Congratulations, and thanks!

My favorite way is: grilled chicken breast topped with a 1/2 and 1/2 combination of Southwest Mustard (spicy) and honey. Also good with Dijon/honey

I told kids and DH (he eats the same food as me- he was going to figure it out lol) My family is VERY supportive. I have learned who my friends are by who has /has not noticed. I am amazed a the number of people who have NOT noticed (or at least not said anything to me) 47 pounds. I'm not losing it for them, though, so no…

BTW, OP- I love going though my closet and weeding out things that no longer fit.! How fun, congrats!!

Here is mine: I found and put on my smallest swimsuit. a: it was slightly too big. b: I wore it out of the house c: I took off my shorts and tee thus exposing myself in said suit. d: I actually got in the pool today for the first time in YEARS and I loved it. I have missed swimming.

Those are nice looking birds! The Mr. and DS have been hunting, but no luck as of yet.

Chose the salad option for lunch. Went 5 minutes longer on the elliptical than I wanted. (I might even do another 10 minutes before bed, we'll see.) JOGGED. It barely counts, I walked part of the route, and didn't go very far but the dog had fun :). My legs are sore, so it must have been far enough lol

Yes! I have skinny margaritas. I buy from Archer Farms (Target) the singles that go into a bottle of water. I mix in a glass with tap water and one oz tequila. Crystal light also makes appletinis, mojitos, and some other flavor I forgot. I also drink the diet beer mentioned above. Bud 55.

I really like Kellogg cracker chips. 27 flavored ones for 110 calories if memory serves. Light popcorn Cereal- Cheerios banana nut or peanut butter are both yummy. I make myself eat one at a time so it takes forever to get through 3/4 cup.

39 yo female 1330 cals per day.

Last Friday I wore my wedding ring for the first time in (6 to 8) years. It's been so long I don't know how long it has been.

I chop a head of cabbage, an onion or two, several ribs of celery, fresh mushroom if I have it, broccoli, chicken broth (fat free), carrots and cook. I never make this the same way twice. I toss in whatever veggies I have on hand. Sometimes I'll make it without broccoli, but then on day 2 or 3 I'll add that in for a bit of…

Another vote for Special K cracker chips and crackers. I counted out 27 of the cheddar flavor and had a huge pile. The crackers are even better IMO!

That sounds good, and a variety from what I make. I've never used tomatoes.

Welcome!

I feel that way too- When I"m working hard, and eating right, and the weight is not coming off, I add water. LOTS of water. Seems to help.

I love ticking those milestones off my list! Great job!

I also plan ahead for snacks with cut veggies and fruit. If I need a salty snack I eat Special K chips. I count them out, (27 chips= a serving @ roughly 100 calories) and I have a satisfying pile to eat and I don't feel cheated.

Awesome~ I typically only hunt deer, but the Mr. hunts pretty much anything. We made goose jerky last time :)

I do not wear a ring, but not by choice. It doesn't fit. I wore an anniversary ring in its place until the stone broke. $200 to resize, and I already paid that once. Another 15-20 pounds and I'll have one to wear again :)
