newDZ...I just looked at your photos. You're doing great! Thanks for the inspiration and for a laugh (remembering that scene from the lion king).

Ha! I had the EXACT same dinner. Tilapia and broccoli. Two of my favorite things....just cut out the starch tonight that I would normally have.

Thanks for all your support!!

I'm starting over too. Better to get back on track than continue down the other path!

I'm saving this one. Thx!

Ok I started this challenge at 201.1 with a goal to lose 4 lbs. Current 197.2 Goal - 196.1 I might just make my goal!

Thanks for the bump! I'll be adding my progress (hoping for progress!) tomorrow.

I"ve been meaning to try this for a while. So...count me in! Off to look at the site.....

Now....if only i could get myself to stop at one slice...or even two!

I recently had an Eating Right individual size frozen pizza. I think they're around 220 calories. However, when I was done eating it, my pizza craving wasn't satisfied! It just wasn't ooey-gooey pizza-y enough for my tastes! I prefer now to spend the extra 110 or so calories on a serving of red baron french bread pizza (in…

Wow....this is exactly how things were in my house growing up. Except my mother FOUND the cookies hidden in my nightstand and sent me to a child psychologist for hoarding. To this day, she thinks her own obsessions with food and her body had no effect on her children. ha!

I have "The Female Species is more deadly than the male" on my cell...doh!

Hehehe....I sometimes sing it in my car way too loud. I'm sure people think I'm nuts.

Overkill.....sung by Colin Hay, the guy from the 80s aussie band Men at Work. The song was featured on Scrubs. Primarily because I tend to over-think things so much lately.

Thin mints....I could eat a whole sleeve of them!!!!

I'm not sure if exercises would help. From the research I've read, carpel tunnel is due to the inflamation of tendons which go through a small opening of bone in the wrist. The best way to keep carpel tunnel to a minimum is to mimize movement. I've purchased a mouse like the one seen here: http://www.wow-pen.com/. It has…

It takes me about 15 lbs, which is approximately one pant size for me.

Count me in! Every little bit of accountability helps. Current weight 198.7 Goal weight = 188.7 (1 lb per week) Oops...I just realized that this was started about 2 weeks ago. Hope you don't mind if I join this motley crew! :wink:

Every little bit brings you closer to your goal. :flowerforyou:

I consider myself an addict. If the bad food is in the house, I will want it. I'll find any reason to snack. So, my suggestion would be to get rid of all the trigger foods in your house. Also, try to eat less processed foods. And, perhaps after a week or so, you will slowly start becoming more satisfied with what you're…

Thanks for the clarification. I think people often misuse the word starving for hungry... Ok for normal folk, not ok for medical and other authorities.

I'm a fan of slow and steady! I always used to try to make it happen quickly, and in doing so, always set myself up for failure. My built-in cheating method works great for me.

I was just curious at the rate other people lose weight. I'm 5'3 and have my calories are set to 1210 (automatically picked for me when i chose 1.5 pounds a week). I'm actually losing approximately .7 lbs/week, which I know because I'm totally anal and keep an excel spreadsheet of my losses. I'm pretty happy with my…

I think I'm am week behind! lol I have a 4 pound goal for this challenge....and it it looks like I need to pick up the pace. start= 200.1 now = 198.7 goal = 196.1

I agree with your sentiment. Slow is the only way to make it part of a lifestyle (gah...i kinda hate that word) instead of a diet that will inevitably end. I have my calorie goal set for 1.5 lbs a week, but I'm lucky and happy if I lose just a 1/2 pound. However, that's because I've learned that it's more important to me…

Gah! According to that site, my happy weight is 126. If I ever get below 150 I'll be happy!! (Though, I looked hot at 125...in high school! lol)

I think I just hit the onset of a stomach flu. I'm giving 50 calories a day to emergen-c! Not sure if it will help. I also bought plain old Wonderbread so I can make the comfort food version of toast.

That's a huge landmark! Congrats!

I just had one my favorite saturday mornings. I caught an early girly flick at the local movie theatre...I like to go early so I still have my whole day ahead of me when I get out. I decided I'd have a pretzel & diet soda as part of my treat, knowing full well it would be a lot of a calories. I could figure them into my…

Any recipe that starts with "cheesy-good" gets my automatic vote of approval!
