Thank you for posting! I related to your post so much. All of the health issues you listed, I am having the same issues and am ready to be DONE with them! So far I am down 11 pounds! I feel like I have a different mindset this time around so hopefully I can keep it up. If you don't mind me asking, what did your diet/eating…

Hi All, Sorry I've been gone for a while. Last week was very busy at work and things just got stressful. Unfortunately I did not make the healthiest choices and am up 3 pounds :s Hopefully some of it is water weight though since I ate a lot of high sodium food. Oh well. Need to move on. Hopefully this week is a better…

@shkycush6 – that’s so interesting! I’ve never heard of that. LOL. Sounds like you had a blast at the Dells. I am going to great wolf lodge with my niece next weekend. Should be fun. @tazzy2911 – that looks yummy! @kristinak48 – welcome! I am also a Midwesterner  Grew up in Indiana and now live in Chicago. @sherilynca –…

@bluepoppies777 welcome back! Very quiet around here today so I have some time to reply! yay! The exercise calories are TOTALLY crazy and inaccurate, in my opinion. I try to use the "calories burned" feature on my fit bit. I just look at the number before and after and subtract. I used to wear a timex heart rate monitor…

@janetay01 – Agree, I think pre-logging helps me be flexible with everything else that comes up during the day. As far as snacking at night, I’ve heard brushing your teeth early helps so you don’t want to eat again. However it never worked for me. I just try and keep myself busy until I go to bed by reading a good book,…

@janetay01 – sorry you had a lousy day! Hopefully today is a better one for you :smile: @jdelaroy – I haven’t had sunflower seeds in ages. May have to pick some up. Congrats on the loss. A pound is a pound in the right direction! Hope you have a good day today! @Rachel0778 – we had freezing rain here too. No fun! The pup…

Oh,also.... I did the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD yesterday. My legs are sooooo sore from so many squats!

Hi All! I was super busy at work last week and then had a nice relaxing weekend with the hubby so I'm REALLY behind! Sorry if any of my comments are a little outdated :smile: And sorry this is such a novel! @bluepoppies777 – Hi! My name is Kelly  Congrats on the 2 lb loss! I’ve heard good things about apple cider vinegar…

@rachel0778 I feel you on the weather. It's slightly warmer here today but still too chilly to take the pup for a long walk. We take him to doggy daycare two days a week also. Just to get his puppy energy out! I wish I had as much energy as he does :smile:

@mmcjtink – welcome! Good luck in your journey. 7 kids is a lot! I’m sure they keep you moving! @gemwolf110 – finding a balance is definitely hard. I have a hard time balancing school, work, and exercise. Hoping to get back into it next week since I am on break from school. Happy you are getting a new fridge! @janetay –…

@gemwolf110 - yes, definitely something I'm working on! Trying not to drink during the week and only on weekends. And then limited on weekends. Mostly special occasions. @janetay01 - I'm getting my MBA with a concentration in Strategic Marketing. I'm a little more than halfway done. I feel you on your tea consumption,…

Hi @bluepoppies777 Good luck on your goals this week! I agree, sometimes just logging seems monumental. I try and do it ahead of time as much as possible just to be done with it! I also need to dig out my fitbit. Not even sure where it is. Oops. I also tried to go a month with no booze once. It was terrible! :blush: I…

@janetay01 Thank you! I actually did pretty well this weekend. Not perfect, but I'm happy with it since I was down 1 lb this morning! I'm hoping to start my exercise DVD's next week. I really liked The Biggest Loser Boot Camp the last time I did it, so I think I'll try that again. I wasn't perfect this weekend, but I did…

@Jdelaroy - Thanks! It’s been especially hard in the afternoons when I need a pick me up. I’ve been trying just to chug water and get up and walk around. Seems to help. Good for you for getting a walk/jog in after that stressful morning! And good job on not stress eating. That’s definitely something I struggle with as…

Stumbled upon this thread and I love all of the support and activity! I definitely have found that I have been the most successful when I have friends to vent to on my rough days who can support me, and I can support them in return. I'm happy that I didn't gain much over the holidays (only 1 pound!). I gave up soda and…

I'm in Chicago! Did really good at the beginning of last year. Luckily I sort of maintained since then. Getting back at it now.

I need more buddies! I've got about 80 to lose. Feel free to add me :)

I said no to the bag of Doritos at Subway and got the baked chips instead :smile: Saved 110 calories!

Have done this soooo many times! With Domino's, not papa johns! And Tombstone, not digiorno. Pizza is my weakness!

bump :flowerforyou:

Definitely me! I've been off track for a month now. Just made a lot of dumb excuses. Don't want this to continue through the holidays. Luckily I've been able to maintain and not gain. I'm easing back into healthy eating this week with a couple nights at the gym. Next week I will be back to 100%. Sent you a friend request…

Love the title of this post. Congrats on your success. Keep it up! :drinker:

Agreed ^^ allrecipes.com Also, skinnytaste.com and hungry-girl.com. Good luck!

Just some thoughts... -I try and get my weekend workouts in FIRST THING in the monring, that way I don't even have time to think about how much I don't want to work out. -I also set my workout clothes out in the living room so I just have to throw them on (even if I'm half asleep). -Crank up the tunes! The right music…

What an awesome feeling. Congratulations on your succcess and keep it up! :drinker:

We do everything in our house low sodium because my boyfriend has high BP. Agree with above post, a lot of sodium comes from processed foods. Just searching for "low sodium" and organic items helped a lot. Other than that, we go crazy with spices. Mrs. Dash makes some awesome no sodium spices. I would defnitely start…

My care package A new sports bra (us big chested ladies can't have enough!) A jawbone up New workout clothes from Lululemon (I know, overpriced but there's some darn cute stuff!) A new fancy scale :flowerforyou:

Simliar situation happened to me at LA Fitness. When I signed up for the personal trainer, he told me that I could cancel at any time and stop paying the monthly fee. Even when I cancelled, the woman at the front desk said my card wouldn't be charged any more. Spoiler alert: I was still charged. I called corporate to see…
