i think that really depends on where you are in your journey, to be honest. my last couple shops i have been buying L where i used to be XL - feels pretty awesome. however - i have a hard time buying for a smaller me right now. i buy what i feel good in, and that seems to be helping for now. no idea if that helped at all.…

im with you on this, for sure. its still something i struggle with! "oh you lost weight this week? good job! go get a doughnut!" "so youre stressing over work? it will be okay - after that bag of doritos." and so on.. i am also in a very loving relationship with a man whom i met when i was heavy, and continued to get…

parchment paper. parchment paper. parchment paper. parchment paper. parchment paper. parchment paper. parchment paper. PLEASE use parchment paper. And some EVOO. Season as usual, lay fires on the parchment lining your pan. We bake in the top half of the over, be careful not to have it too hot. Flip them after 12mins or so,…

Bump for yummy ideas!

ive been making a smoothie for myself everyday when im at the office - been very good for me! i brought my single-serve blender (from wal-mart) and keep it in the cupboard. heres what i use: half a banana 1 tbsp of PB2 1 cup chocolate almond milk, unsweetened 2 tbsp of vanilla protein powder 1 cup spinach its about 188…

bump for lemon!

agreed

same for me. i step on the scale each morning and before bed, after i have taken care of business. but i only record once a week, wednesday mornings. fingers crossed for tomorrow!

i really try to - yes, i feel les motivated to make the effort, but i always know ill feel better afterwards. some cycles i have cramps, some i dont. usually thats the worst i get, mild cramps on day one or two.. but then thats gone and its just waiting it out really. lol its an accomplishment every time i complete a…

agreed.

well sure, but can you dip fries in it?

how is this still going? im merely here for the gifs. love me some good gifs.

that is NOT linkin park. its LIMP BIZKIT. GAWD. :ohwell:

congrats! can really see the change in your face shape. one day ill post mine! one day...

lol! love the waddle!! :laugh:

love the cookie idea! although i think BF would be fairly upset once they started being packaged up...

literally almost screamed when the spiders moved. and im at work. thanks. :angry: RUN!!

HAHAHA!! thats amaaaazzing. "oo fun! oh look it - oh ****. uhh.. ill just go over..."

thank you for making me feel better. poor thing was probably traumatized!

its certainly possible it had some fun.. the desperate leg scramble doesnt say 'woohoo!!' to me.. but hey.. im no donkey expert :wink:

this one makes me a little bit sad.. how did he get down? scared donkey/horse/fourleggedcreature :frown: the rest are great. lol

to the person who said to buy a punching bag and put a picture of a troll on it... lol.. i like this one best. and the walking too. edited bc the quote didnt work.

if the wedding itself isnt motivation enough.. how about the honeymoon?:love: or better yet, boudoir photoshoot to show off your new body to your soon-to-be-hubby? :blushing:

wow you guys are dedicated! hopefully i can reach a level like that.. that will definetly take some time. my BF and i both woke up early today - i was up at 5:46 to do my beachbody DVD in the basement. i only got through 20 of 30 mins bc i just was not ready.. but i think that after a week or two my body will be used to…

thanks for all your suggestions people - i appreciate it. i ususally do my dvd at home after work, but then sometimes it turns to after dinner.. or after the dishes.. or.. after.. whatever. you know? i feel as though if i were to be able to have it done and over with in the morning before my shower i would feel more…

saved! awesome! :happy:

Sounds yummy!

i have a weak lower back as well - bulging disc from a few years back. its mostly fine now, but i am always concerned about it. my physio gave me a few exercises that helped: http://yourmedguide.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/_a2RfdLVLRfs/TB2IaXBRPUI/AAAAAAAABJw/BZCA4XMjiZA/s1600/low%2Bback%2Bpain%2Bexercises.jpg pretty…

yep - that would be today. been so good the last week-10 days... even working out and not going over my calories... why did the scale show a 2lb GAIN this morning?? WHY??? i think, probably, my scale hates me. i have considered buying a new one bc ive had that one for a few years.. and its just a walmart digital one,…

Completed my home DVD today when I got home from my 15 min walk from the bus. Felt good! Rather sweaty after... Boyfriend says that's how you know it's working. :wink:
