Hello all, Tori here. I'm turning 30 in January, and would LOVE for once in my life not to feel like 'the fat chick' at the party. I want to feel pretty again. I'm in another group that goes through til Easter as a logging challenge, and I like that this group has the added exercise push! My hubby and I are moving to a new…

Hello friends! I'm Tori, and I've logged 4 days as of sept 30. Not great. Weekends are a killer! My highest consecutive I think was around 96? I would be ecstatic to reach 185! I don't know my favourite snack. That's a bit sad? Maybe I can find it during this challenge! I told my hubby I joined this challenge, and he…

its basically low carb, mid protein with high fat. the goal is to put your body into ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbs. im not following a specific plan, im sortof making it up as i go along to find what will work for me, but its loosely based on atkins and south beach. i tried a few calculators…

Sigh... I've been one of those members not keeping up. I've had a really rough time with motivation recently. Been so stressed with wedding planning, it's been hard to keep my Heath as a focus. Which seems kind of counter productive, don't you think? I'm going to have to rework my schedule and change my focus back to how I…

No change for me...

hi cece - im tori would like to get to know you, we can keep each other motivated and on track :)

i feel you kassie. i put back on nearly 10lbs over nov/dec and am finding it really difficult to go back to my healthy habits. my fiance has managed to kick himself back into gear, and i cant seem to catch up. today is actually the first time ive completed a workout in over a month. it was hard. but i am glad i did it,…

some great info here.. starred!

oh man, if you guys dont know about skinnytaste, you are seriously missing out! so many recipes.. i love Gina! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/low-carb-recipes.html

Whoops. I had 2/3 of a cup of lemon meringue yogurt and 1/4 of all bran flakes. I love that yogurt, lemon desserts are often my undoing at gatherings. But yes, do something to occupy your mind or hands, and keep low cal/healthy options available :)

I'm trying to stop eating if it's after 9pm. I failed by 15m today, but if I hadn't I wouldn't have hit 1200 for the day, and I don't like it when MFP is mad at me.

can you have cheese? try two or three slices of turkey (deli meat) with a wedge of laughing cow cheese! or for something sweet, i like to have some special yogurt (current fave is lemon meringue by source) with some blueberries. you could even crumble up a graham cracker - then its like pie!

awesome.

hey kerri! feel free to join my group for added support and motivation... "T25 or beachbody?" theres a few of us in there, im on week two of alpha right now. gotta focus!!

I've just started week two. Yes - this is def a hard workout. But Tanya is there to help you if you need to modify. (My goal is to mostly stop modifying by the end of week three. I actually have a t25 group started, you are welcome to join! I'm feeling more motivated this week than I was last week, so something must be…

I would like to join too! I'll go anywhere :)

love it - your dad is cool. you can tell him i said so :smile:

one of the greatest moments is realizing that two weeks ago, your body couldnt have done that. need motivation? eat in front of the mirror. naked. its not just the weight you will lose, but the life you will gain. the difference between your body this week and next id the seven days of choices you make i would rather be…

hey there - 5'7", 28 years old here from Toronto! highest weight was 244, two years later my current weight is 196.2 (as of this morning). current end goal is 150, but we shall see if that changes as i get closer. i have difficulty sticking to something longer than a few weeks myself - would love some new active friends to…

just for today, i will not allow myself to overindulge because everyone else is today, i will keep control of my wants and think about my needs instead just for today, i will allow myself the rest i needed after two hard workouts this weekend. today, i will make sure he knows i love him.

i think ill bump this. yes - i will. excellent.

ok, so i only got through one page of those replies to this post - and my goodness. some people take other peoples thoughts far too seriously! i totally get what you mean OP, and i know that your 'fat people gym' idea was a joke of sorts. i like it - and im with you. i was just at the gym last week before a yogalaties…

thanks for all your suggestions guys! grocery shopping is tomorrow - keep em coming!

there are 6 of us, and i like simple things. i was thinking like cucumber cups with goat cheese and something.. or chips and salsa.. roasted chickpeas? i dunno. nothing too complex, but still yummy enough its like a treat

i use Slim in 6 by Debbie Siebers and beachbody. for me, it definetly works. there are three levels, and just yesterday i completed level three for the first time! her workouts are hard enough to get you sweaty and make you feel like you just worked out, but they are low-impact too so youre not destroying your joints or…

finished debbie sieber's burn it up dvd - first time ever! have done the program in the past, but never been able to get through level 3. go me! and there have been cupcakes in the fridge ALL day from my brothers birthday. i am going to cut one in half, and throw the rest out.
