Thank you all for the great ideas! :)

yeah. that's just weird.

I've read it. I found it at the half price bookstore a couple of summers ago. It was just okay. Not really anything new & they really did ***** about pretty much anything that wasn't organic or vegan. I considered for maybe a second on becoming a vegan. But, quickly reconsidered as I drove by the BBQ place & got a whiff of…

how many cals have you eaten so far? i tried to see your diary, but it's not open.

i really like this thread. i said "no" to a flour tortilla at q'doba (i opted for the naked instead). i said no to the entire thing of chips and queso. i poured myself a small bowl of chips and a smaller serving of the queso-- then, i threw the rest away. all in all i would have been better off not ordering the queso and…

this is such a great question! when i run i most often think of the past and how far i have come. i reminisce.

wow. yes. but, i'm 5'3. target shorts are either too short or too long. in the past i have had luck with a.n.a shorts at jcpenny. they're still not my favorites.

hey! i'm from tx too--- dallas area :)

see? you did it!! :wink: awesome job!

Hi. Me too-- I eat when I'm bored, happy, sad--- I eat for all the wrong reasons. I'm back this time and I'm REALLY in it. My tips: 1. Water 2. Exercise should become a habit 3. Moderation (don't deprive yourself of anything bc it WILL backfire) 4. Change your "bad" carbs to "good" carbs (wheat for white) 5. Quit…

Your husband is very cool to do that. This means that he loves you and cares about your well-being. Just stick with your plan and try not to panic without the scale. It's not healthy to obsess. :)

I used the target version of spanx hosery for my sis's wedding. They were awesome. I don't have Spanx bc they are so expensive. But, I have heard lots of good things about them. P.S. lots of people use spanx- celebrities even. :)

I know the feeling. I didn't feel like it today either. But, I forced myself to do 45 minutes jog/walk. Then, my upper body. I don't want to get off track. Usually, when I just lay around I eat more. Can you do a light walk? Or, if you don't want to skip your regular workout can you take the first step in getting your…

Interesting... I will look into it. Thanks :)

wow. i've never understood why people feel the need to be so smart-assy. anyway, I tend to eat mine back. I need the fuel to workout the next day. Some people don't eat them back, but I just get too weak & tired. If I get too weak and tired to workout, then my progress will be stalled anyhow.

Dang. I just got back from the grocery store. Wish I had seen this before. Anyway, I'll keep this for later. Thanks for posting.

I'm so glad you posted this thread! I have a consult on Aug 9 for a breast augmentation & tummy tuck. I already have one child and my husband and I are talking about another. So, I'll probably just get the breast aug first. I don't breast feed anyhow. I would love to keep up with your progress. I am nervous, but it's…

I sometimes find myself getting angry when I see my husband eat this stuff. But, deep down I know that it's not logical to expect him to never eat what he wants when we're together. I can't expect other people to deny certain foods because I am onto healthy eating. So, it's more myself that I get annoyed with because deep…

the best thing i can tell you is to move and eat in moderation and very sensibly. move everyday. even when you are tired, do something to get your blood flowing. DON'T starve yourself- it will backfire <Trust me. Most importantly, don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day (or week even). Realize that you are only human.…

round is shape-- love it haha

definitely check out an actual running store to get fitted properly if at all possible. i stand by my saucony's.

oh wow. what a douche. he needs to be dropped real quick. this guy sounds like trouble. you should only lose weight for yourself & never accept cheating- no matter what. if you let him get away with this bc you are "bigger" then you are leaving the door wide open for him to keep doing this with other excuses in the future.

save.

i take xanax (alprazolam) .25 as needed at bedtime. Usually, I don't have to take it but once or twice a week. I find that the day after I take it I am more sluggish, irritable, and hungry. So, I only take it when I absolutely need it. Just something to consider, as I don't know all of the medications you are on- but,…

I either use stevia or agave nectar. Agave nectar has 60 calories per tablespoon, though. But it is natural and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. It tastes really good too. For me, it gives my oatmeal the perfect amount of "sweet." I usually add 2 egg whites (haha- yes that's right), walnuts (1 tbsp), almond milk (1/2 c),…

This is a cool thread. Count me in (but late). I'm not gonna do jumping jacks tonight because it's late. But, I will get started tomorrow. As for breakfast, I've eaten it every day this week.

I just got the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook-- simple, simple meals.
