FRIDAY FOOD DAY Morning all! I made the following last week and I think it's delish! If you're not familiar with it, you need to go to www.aimeesadventures.com. It's the story of a woman who started a journey to lose over 100lbs, and made it...but life threw her a curveball, and she swung at it. I hope that even thru her…

Good morning lovely ladies!! WED WEIGH IN - I'm a day late, but not a dollar short (thanks to all this O.T.! HA!!) And, I am down 1.2lbs this week! (also, I didn't get my 1.6lb loss into the group last week) So, I am officially 32lbs lighter!! THUR TRIUMPH - I'm super excited, as I have been pulling a few clothes from the…

Good morning, y'all!! :smile: Just got on to log my breakfast and say this new thread!!! YIPPEE!!! And, it's kinda sorta quiet in here at the moment, so I'm sneaking in a minute for ME!!! So far the week has gone exactly as planned - CHAOTIC!!! I've already put in 30 hrs this week, not counting today..... I've been making…

Good morning all! Wow - we are a chatty group, eh?!? :happy: I've not had the chance to read thru every single post, but I am slowly working my way thru the profiles of my new friends! I've not been this motivated in awhile!!! I can't thank everyone enough!! So, I put in a 13 hr day yesterday, got a good 6 hrs sleep and…

I'm in! Starting Weight: 215 lbs (as of 3/13/11) Goal Weight: 197 lbs (by 6/9/11) 3/17: 213.2 3/24: 3/31: 4/7: 4/14: <<<mini goal 207lbs>>> 4/21: 4/28: 5/5: 5/12: <<<mini goal 201lbs>>> 5/19: 5/26: 6/2: 6/9: <<<challenge goal 197lbs>>> Onederful Onederland!! :o)

Man oh man....honestly this is NOT the way I wanted to start with this great group!! :cry: This has been THE longest day ever! I got 4 hours sleep last nite, up since 2:30am. And I found out today that not only is my boss gone next week, but another co-worker is out all week as well. And, as my luck would have it, I'm the…

Good evening everyone! Wanted to say a quick 'hey' and let y'all know I'm so excited to be part of this group! I SOO enjoy the fact it's a small group!! 20 is a great number - anything over that and it's hard to keep track of everyone and even harder to offer the support that everyone is looking for! I plan to let y'all…

Hello all! Sitting at work, just finished putting in my lunch (which was very good, I must say!! :o) and wanted to send a quick 'hello' to this great group!! Can't wait to read thru all the earlier posts and see 'wazzup'! :happy: :happy: :happy: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I had challenged myself to NOT eat any pre-packaged meals this week. I just checked out the ENTIRE recipe....the outrageous sodium in this is a combo of EVERYTHING!! I was so excited about making something so low in calories, I didn't let my eyes wander to the other columns. Lesson learned!! I see lots and lots of water in…

Got room for 1 more?? 45, and just under 100lbs to shed!

I'm in! But I will keep Friday as my weigh in day!! Starting Weight: 215 lbs (as of 3/13/11) Goal Weight: 197 lbs (by 6/9/11) 3/17: 3/24: 3/31: 4/7: 4/14: <<<mini goal 207lbs>>> 4/21: 4/28: 5/5: 5/12: <<<mini goal 201lbs>>> 5/19: 5/26: 6/2: 6/9: <<<challenge goal 197lbs>>> Onederful Onederland!! :o)

I just saw this!! How awesome is that??!!??!!??

Can't have too many recipes!! :happy: Thanks for sharing!!!

What a great post! As a recently single chick, I am going to take some time to focus on myself and not worry about a relationship. However, I will keep these things in mind for the future.... 1. Must love God 2. Must love cats (and dogs, even though they make me sneeze) 3. MUST NOT CHEAT (this would/could be all 10, but…

Thank you!!!!!! I'm stuck at work on a Friday night helping with inventory for who knows how long...and this was a nice break!!! :laugh:

We've never had them battered, just grilled or baked, usually with a bar-b-que type sauce. Still, I'm afraid to even try to Google the calories!!

HA! I was the same way when I asked someone 'what the heck is that' and they said PIG WINGS! (I work for an animal nutrition company with swine being our main species, so we see lots of pork dishes for our company lunches). So, here's a formal definition: 'Pig Wings are made from Ham Shanks that are trimmed leaving just a…

I'm really proud that I turned away pig wings! (yes - I said pig wings!)

Hello fellow Hoosier! I'm from Noblesville! Let's do this!! :happy:

Me Me Me!!

IN!!! :happy:

WOW - I am SOOOO making this over the weekend!!!

I too am, er I mean WAS a habitual starter/stopper! Ready to put the blinders on and finish this journey!! Feel free to add me!! :happy:

Welcome back! I'm back after getting lost as well!!! It's never to late to start over!! Let's do this!!!:happy:

HAHA! WINNER!! Come to think of it, I've been in a few Garage Bands and did a little Garage Dancing whilst making Garage Music!!

I'm IN!!! And I need to be held accountable!!! I did about 5 days of shredding, and although it started getting easier as time went on, I stopped. It's really a great way to get in a great sweat in a short amount of time!!

HA! I don't have kids, but loved the line a good friend would tell her kids when they acted up: "Remember - I brought you into this world.....and I can take you out!!"

5'2" and (currently) have a large frame!:sad: I'd love to see 120lbs. I averaged 125-130 thru high school, and was considered 'the fat girl' then. Now, 140lbs is at the high end for me...let's get there and see how it feels!!!! (Since it's been almost 20 years since we've see each other!! :laugh: )

Same here - except I bake cookies, brownies, pies, fudge, sloppy joes, BBQ pork, and on and on and on... I just tell myself that those aren't for me!! And, if I'm tempted, I go on-line and search for low-cal recipes!! And, if that doesn't work - I just drink a bottle of water and go to bed!! Good luck to us all and stay…

If you're looking for a great support team, you couldn't have found a better place!! Welcome! :happy: P.S. luv the profile pic - dress is beautiful, and luv the head peeking out around the corner! :laugh:
