Week One was -.5 Week Two -1.5 I am a back and forth kind of girl- hoping to see a bigger number this week though instead of smaller! Would like to drop into the next set of tens (from 190s to 180s!)

Smiles all around for everyone's good days and happiness! My smile for the day was when the school I was subbing for called an early dismissal for heat- full pay for a shorter day! Yay! Random thing, but I also felt really good to be helping the school office with some data entry during some free time today- it makes me…

Pitbull- Back in Time I really dig music that has a modern beat with a throwback to an old song!

I am going to try to make cottage cheese a theme ingredient since I saw it in the first post! I tried this yesterday, and it was really pretty good. I shall call it Faux Quiche. 3/4 c cottage cheese 1 egg- beaten veggies of your choice. Heat oven to 350. Mix egg and cottage cheese- add chopped up veggies (I used red and…

My goal is definitely to get up at a decent time. I am a substitute teacher and so non-working days are difficult for getting up. I have morning plans the next two days and Sat, so Fri and Sun will be the challenging ones! As to weighing in- my weigh-in days are Thursdays, so last week I lost only .5. This week is off to a…

Reflection! Okay, so, the week started out fine and then went down hill from there. I have definitely had a food problem over the last few days. Cravings led to more cravings, etc. And then of course family in from out of town derailed me as well- so, heading into this week I am focused on getting the calories and food…

I think having everyone post by Saturday sounds good since a lot of people have set weigh-in days. (I weigh on Thursdays and try hard to stay off the scale the rest of the week!) :smile:

Hi! I'm Elizabeth. I am excited to see a lot of people around my height with somewhat similar ultimate goals. I often see ladies my height (5'4") aiming for much lower numbers than I am and end up questioning my own goals, so it is affirming to see others who have their eyes set on a similar prize! Anyway- I am 31 SW: 238…

bump to try!

Reasons to smile! *A tiny loss on the scale is no longer discouraging! I only lost .5 this week, but I know that I will bounce back next week! *I added a 2 mile run to my day after Zumba- my friend who does this route always does push-ups at all the benches along the way while I ignore them because I find it hard to get…

Here are some of my current faves: Scream- Usher Dance Again- JLo Club Can't Handle Me- Flo Rida

My Tuesday recipe: Made eggs yesterday that were yummy. I admit upfront, I eat the yolks! You can go egg whites only! *2 large eggs *1/2 serving of preferred cheese (I use provolone or mozzarella) *1/2 cup or so fresh spinach or about 1/4 cup frozen spinach (thawed) *Dash of milk to make it a little fluffier My version was…

I like these: Scream- Usher Moves lIke Jagger- Maroon 5 Catchafire- TobyMac I Want You to Want Me- Letters to Cleo Cruel to be Kind- Letters to Cleo Good Girls Go Bad- Cobra Starship You Make Me Feel- Cobra Starship Stereo Hearts- Gym Class Heroes Hey Baby- Pitbull Me Vs. The World- Halo Friendlies And then there are some…

Good idea to focus on something small first! :D I always try to get in all my water, but don't always manage, so good challenge for the week. I am impressed with a goal of 45 miles!! I weigh in on Thursdays- I tend to have high weeks and low weeks alternating- this week should be a lower week- so really hoping to see just…

I don't think for me it is even the inconvenience- I go to the store frequently- I think it is the mental factor of knowing that I bought something low cal or high in fiber (or whatever other random macro I am trying to watch that week!), and then the man who can eat whatever he wants with no weight concerns, wants to eat…

I think I should give my hubby the credit he deserves too- he is extremely supportive and tries to say all the right things. We truly don't keep a lot of junk in the house- I buy the crackers and peanut butter for him and the low cal stuff for me- that is really it. We only keep baked chips in the house if I plan to…

True that is better than them eating junk! My husband even said he likes the taste of my fiber gummies supplement and would to have them too- not for the fiber boost, but because they taste good! Silly man! :laugh:

Hi everyone! I'm Elizabeth. I am currently 193- this is about the number at which I normally plateau for ages and then gain a bunch back. So, my goal for Halloween is to beat the plateau- I want to get to 175, but will be satisfied with 10-15 lbs lost. My husband and I host a Halloween party every year and usually dress in…

Ah, Halloween! I do always end up saddened by my costume choices! My journey has been slow going, so I don't have a super concrete goal for this- would like to be down another 18 lbs to get me to my next big goal, but also know that my weekly average loss is a little lower than this, so would be good with another 13 as…

I have a few friends who swear by Low Carb who read this book http://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Challenging-Conventional/dp/1400040787 My disclaimer is that I haven't read it and don't know where it will take you, but these guys have had good luck.

I wear Nike Air Max and liked them pretty well with Insanity- I think with all the jumping and whatnot the feet are just going to hurt a little! But perhaps not, I may just be prone to sore feet!

Let's start by saying I love almost everything that I shouldn't when it comes to food. However, I don't like most candy bars (sweet overload!), don't care for super greasy chips (think Lays), and most fast food fries fail to live up to the high hopes I have for them (I would take home baked fries any day, even though those…

I think the bottles used to have a larger serving listed with actual calories- it was something like 20 sprays for 10 calories... I know that is irrelevant to this topic except to point out that they may have previously been more forthcoming. I do use the 1-5 sprays typically and a bottle lasts forever! Nonetheless, there…

I concur with the posters who have mentioned that we often are wearing pants that are TOO tight when we first begin losing weight- I am sure I was! That said- after 44 lbs lost, I am down 1 pant size from what I was wearing, probably 2 from where I should have been! I try to focus on the way I feel and not the size, but it…

bump for later!

When I first started running in college, I would walk and then run as far as I could before I was too winded to keep up that pace, and then walk, and then run again. I made goals each time to run a little further- I used the same route and used landmarks to give myself a visual goal of how far I wanted to make it. I also…

Isn't every day Troll Day on MFP?
