i really appreciate everyones comments, compliments and words of encouragement... getting my head to change and think the way that i want it to think is a huge struggle for me...but i want it to change cause feeling like hiding makes it really difficult for me to even leave the house sometimes... thanks again everyone... :)

have you tried anything from the Fiber One line of foods? i love the bars...the Oats and Chocolate is like a candy bar... the browies are also really good...i love them warmed up in the microwave with a teaspoon of Cool Whip...

thats awesome...yay for sexy legs... :)

i would just run with it and not overthink it... :)

i love the Cook Yourself Thin cook books... they have recipes for foods that are usually high in calories and have re-worked them into healthier versions...and i have to say that everything that ive cooked from it tastes delicious... some of my faves are cheese fries, turkey chilli crunch and sweet and sour pork...most of…

have you measured yourself to be sure that you are not burning fat and replacing it with muscle? i thought that i was at a plateu too but turned out not to be the case since i lost only 2lbs in a month...but 16 inches off my body...

thats great...well done for resisting temptation... but just remember if you do cave and have the cake one day it will not spoil all your progress...adopting a healthy lifestyle is all about moderation and accountability...

nothing wrong with working out more than once a day if you have the luxury of time... i work out twice....once at Curves and then again when i walk my 100lb dog and then if you want to count it...i also give my kitchen, lounge and the kids bathroom a good clean every day (since my two girls leave the same mess as a college…

all the time...no matter where i go i feel like the fattest person in the room... ive still got a ways to go and im hoping that reaching my goal weight will be the start of shaking this feeling but im honestly not too sure about it... i can tell myself over and over...you've lost 90lbs...you are not the same person...you…

either interval or circuit training...

in Australia hurricanes are called cyclones...and i grew up in cyclone country...they dont bother me in the least...in fact, in Australia cyclone calls for a party...bring beer, an esky full of ice and all the meat in your freezer that will go bad while the power is of for days at a time...may as well make the best of the…

icecream...i used to eat a whole tub to myself...and i would do it at least twice a week...no wonder i was over 300lbs! now, i dont buy it...and save it for a treat for myself (not a reward, a treat!)... if i do want some icecream after dinner then i just get the little single serve Edys at the store (about 200 calories…

great job!

going on a diet doesnt allow you to eat anything that you have said...but a lifestyle change lets you eat what you want, just not too much... so change your life...this is a long term plan...not a "oh, i cant eat the turkey or the potato salad cause im on a diet"... that is my only suggestion to you... i am a foodie...i…

wow...you look amazing!!!!

i would like to be a size 10 or 12... i started at a size 30 and am currently in a size 16...so getting there, but not quite!

you look great! very, very well done!!!

i log my weight once a week, usually first thing on Tuesday or Wednesday morning...as soon as i get out of bed and have been to the bathroom.... i really try not to sweat the numbers and get a better idea of my weight loss in relation to the way that my clothes are fitting... if you are loosing fat and building lean muscle…

how much are your goals set for loosing each week? may i suggest that you aim for loosing only 1lb per week...even less since you are breastfeeding and you are close to your goal....

i cant help you with the question about the heart rate monitor, but i can tell you one thing that i really cant live without as far as what it takes to loose a lot of weight...a good quality meal replacement shake! ive found that it lets me stay on track each and every day since i am so busy and just dont always have time…

sure...a bit more would be good but 15lbs is a good goal...im in!!!

take the skin off the legs... put in glass baking dish with two tins of apricot halves (with the juice).... one pack of french onion soup.... sprinkle with sesame seeds... cover and bake...

i know just how you feel...i have lost a stack of weight and then the last two and a half months not lost 1lb...and its making me nuts!!!! i am just trying to remember this is not a diet, this is a lifestyle. i was to live longer, be healthier and happier and be around for my beautiful girls when they get married and have…

i am also dreading the coming weeks with the amount of candy that my kids bring home... i did great when buying some to give out this year...i bought huge bags of Laffy Taffy which i really dislike so no worries with me eatint that.... as for what the kids bring home...i love chocolate....peanut butter cups, butterfingers,…

one of the very few things i love about Alabama...you come in MY house, even onto my property with the intent to cause harm to me, my family or my property...then i have the right to shoot your stupid *kitten*...and yes, i have a gun (a few actually) and i know how to use it....

i always marinate the chicken that i have for lunch....most of it stays in the bag so i only count half in my calorie count... if i dont eat it then i dont count it....

my mum has told me since i was about 12 that i was ugly...then after i had put on some weight at about 15 she changed that to fat and ugly...no wonder my self esteem is shattered still to this day....

when my size 28 jeans were too tight...i didnt want to get a size 30...i had nothing to wear but some jeans and two mens size 3XL t-shirts that were getting too tight...

okay...so im 5ft8inches and one half...does that count??? :) i have mine set too loose 2lbs per week...i get about 1400 calories per day and with exercise that adds on an extra 400 to 500 calories...which i dont eat back... it also depends on how much you have to loose...i already lost about 90lbs before joining here last…

i would love to know the answer to this question!!!!!
