My NSV today: went to the gym and ran/walked over a mile and its a holiday!! My old self would have taken today to mean "cheat day", but I can enjoy the 4th and still be healthy! Great job to both of you ask well! :)

Ke$ha's Timber! I love the beat and listen to it on repeat if I'm running.

I'm hypo after having my graves disease treated with radio iodine and it has taken me almost 2 years to lose 70lbs. I eat around 1200 calories a day and I'm not the most strict with eating my exercise calories back. Sometimes i do, and sometimes I don't. That way if I'm over one day i don't freak out.

I've lost 80 so far, but it's been a pretty slow process. Almost 2 years! Back injuries and the fact that I am far from perfect is why I believe it's taken so long. I figure it wasn't quick putting the weight on, it's not going to be quick getting it off. I have probably 30 or so lbs left till goal, and I can't wait to get…

My story is a long one, and I'm not done in this journey yet but I wanted to post for anyone who has been feeling like giving up because its so slow. Here it goes: I have always considered myself overweight and have probably been on a "diet" since the age of 11 or 12. College came and went and of course I put on weight but…

sounds so yummy!

Thank you, everyone, for all your help!

I check this periodically! I still buy mine for each 5 lbs lost! I'm up to 14 charms!

I so wanna make this! yummy!

sounds so good! I bet the cool ranch would be good too! :D

Everyone is doing so great and I always look forward to checking in here on my Fridays!! I am down 2.7 lbs since two weeks ago for a total of 40lbs lost!! I get a new charm and can't wait to go out and buy it this weekend!! :)

I am happy to say that I have lost 1.3lbs for a total of 35.1 lbs so I get another charm!! Yay for me! I am back on track and doing well!

I am down .6 this week. Not much but I am still getting back into the workouts again after my back injury so I'll take it!! This weekend I am going on a bit of a vacation, so I really have to try hard. Swimming and hiking will offset off some of my treats! :D

Dr. OZ is a quack!! Please do more research!

I have been pretty scarce these past two weeks and thats due to a new job that doesn't allow me access to a computer during the day as well as the fact that I sprained my lower back somehow and have been recuperating by not working out for the past two weeks. As of today I gained two lbs in the past two weeks, which I knew…

Reading and scrap booking are two things that I love to do in my very rare free time. My husband and I also love nature and being outside so we often go to the zoo or a forest preserve to walk.

My official weigh in this week was a loss of 2.4 lbs!! :D Very excited about this and the fact I get one more charm today. My total loss is at 30.3lbs!!

Lost .4lbs this week, not much but last week was more than usual so it evens out! Debbie, I love the turtle idea for a charm, I might have to steal that. We are both two lbs away from a new charm too! :D I seem to lose so slowly, and I blame it on my Thyroid!! I'm on medication because I had to have a Radioactive Iodine…

During the week, I am fairly strict with my eating, mostly because I have my routine and meals planned out. I am usually under by about 200 calories each day, so on the weekends I can be more flexible. I don't say no to a cookie or pizza on Fridays. It works out for me because I don't feel deprived, and have been able to…

My husband and I love this show and try to watch the reruns every night!! My husband is a combination between Sheldon and Leonard and we laugh hysterically at some of the things they do! The one episode where they have the cornstarch and water mixture on the speakers, my husband showed me that probably 1 year before we…

That is such a great NSV!!! :) I'm sure you were able to enjoy your entire amusement park trip so much more!

Great job to all who have weighed in today!!! I lost 1.4lbs this week, and am 2.5lbs away from my next charm, #6 :)

281!!! That's so scary :0

Remember that you didn't gain the weight overnight, so it's not going to come off overnight. Those .5 lb losses in a week are still worth something and add up in the long run! To go along with this is DO NOT WEIGH EVERYDAY!! Or even more than once a week, its just not necessary and you will stress yourself out!

As of this morning, I lost .6lbs this week. I'm okay with it though because last week my scale said I gained 1 lb, and that 1lb and the .6 is gone as of this morning. Still 4lbs away from a new charm though! I am actually seeing my thyroid doctor this coming week to get my blood test results so maybe my levels are off and…

Beautiful Charms!!! Love the clover :)

This isn't necessarily a tip, but a pretty good idea that I recently started doing :) We have a microwave at my work and I don't often have time to make a filling breakfast in the mornings so I bring two raw eggs and one slice of cheese some days. Crack the two eggs in a bowl and scramble quickly. Put the bowl of eggs in…

Lady Antonina Park-Moore :)

Great job to all of you!!!! I finally bought my bracelet and charms on Wednesday, but then two of the charms didn't fit so I have to go back and get new ones. Yesterday I caved and had a bit too much of the baked goods brought into my office, so my scale this morning is saying I gained 1 lb this week. Hoping it's water…

Angelina Jolie, she needs some!! :D
