at foodie meeting: according to a national survey, the average American is sedentary for 21 hours a day. Damn!

I have another type of tracking device through weight watchers and don't trust it 100%. I can wave my arms 5 mins and get an extra 50 calories. Though I hear fitbits are more accurate. I'm actually wanting to buy one, but swimming is one of my favorite activities, and so far they're water resistant, but not waterproof. As…

I've lost 47 lbs so far and yep, I've got the good old desk job, and like you, am finishing a college degree too, with lots of homework that involve me sitting. Things that worked for me was early AM work outs, or late night ones, getting off my chair and away from my desk every 2 hours, even if just for 5-10 mins to take…

they serve coffee at the Y and I always show up about 15 mins before my 5.30 am workout and have myself a cup and for me, it helps. Like mentioned above, caffeine gives a boost, and potassium is great for muscle cramps. I know some folks that swear by working out on an empty stomach, and others that boost the protein with…

and also, if she's a busy Mom and needs a break sometime, I know some folks think it's lame, but like a self made certificate saying you'll babysit and she can have a night out?

yummy smelling hand sanitizers, I've given folks cutsie nail clippers too, nail file, organic/low cal chocolates, essential oils or bath salts, a little bear (I'm 36 and still love those!), oh and those facial masks they sell at Wal-Mart that are like $1.50 each but with lots of different choices of smells.

:P No, we just get tired of being called Belgiums.... And to make matters worse, I'm from the Flemish region....wanna know how many people ask me if I'm Flem? Grrrrrr.... LOL Oh and..... I haven't eaten yet! :P

Live in the US but born in Belgium. French Dad. Yep, bit of a mix too. :)

People from Belgium are BELGIANS!!! That's like a freaking pet peeve of mine!

I have issues with that one, I admit. Some would probably think I'm out of control, BUT it works for me. I weigh myself twice daily. Morning right after waking up and well, a pee break, and PM, right before I call it a night and know I wont eat or drink anything additional. Then, I have two official weekly weigh in's. One…

very pretty! And isn't Paris gorgeous? Been there a few times (school field trip and honeymoon too! :) I've lost 47 lbs so far as well and still have another 50+ to go but first another 10 in the next 6-7 weeks before my Mom visits and we head over to Florida with my kiddos! Add me if you'd like, always happy to have more…

I'm only partially there, but it still counts right? I lost 47 lbs (308 to 261) and was a size 26/28 tops and now 18/20 tops and sweaters are starting to fit. I was a pretty tight 24 work pants and 26 jeans and am now 20 work pants and 22 jeans. Last time I lost 65 lbs and just about fit in 16 tops and 18 jeans so that's…

every week for years lol I hardly get out of my norm, have a set list of meals I cook and that's that. I'm not very adventurous. If something's good, I'll buy it in bulk and eat it till it's gone or something about it put me off (bad taste, etc.) It makes logging fairly easy as I just click back in what I've had the…

wow douche bag! I've heard them all too on top of the crappy word for lesbian. Folks here feel the need to throw that in too? Why ...beats me. Just ignore and move on. Keep thinking about why you started this journey, and it's not for them, it's for you. Ignorant people all over, ready to pick on weight, race, sexuality, I…

it's part of our mystery, right? ;)

erm...calves?

and after walking past a hot chick "Do you think she's pretty?" - RUN, it's a trap!!!

"Can you make it last a little longer this time?" - right AFTER turning him on, and BEFORE getting it done! Best pillow talk....NOT lol

If we're merely talking a few days without food, then I'm gonna have to go with ^ his answer! I too have plenty stored away to keep me going for a few days. I can fuel up after!

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

never let me win the game!

- my knee high boots finally zipping closed with knee high socks and blue jeans tucked into them [/quote] and that one too!! :) In fact someone said "Cute outfit and boots" today and I was like "me?"

I'm 35 lbs down and still a good chunk away from that goal, but already I'm finding unexpected blessings: - no more heartburn since Oct 1st, 2014. Hello savings in pills! - no more digging in bra lines, my bras fit nicely and don't hurt - able to make it to my 3rd floor apartment without feeling like I'm gonna die in front…

Hug after I get me something off that grill!

awwww....hug! the baby that is ;)

I'm with eggonmylegos - being too restrictive might be it. I hear a lot of people say avoid trigger foods, but honestly, I think the trick is to learn to live with them, but in moderation. Do I enjoy finishing a whole container of Nutella in one sitting using nothing more than a spoon, yes! Is it good for me, does it make…

I'm 284 and need to lose another 120 to be at my true comfort level, but for now, I'm shooting for 250. I started Oct 1st at 308, not a pretty number to be looking back at you, let me tell you. It's been 3 months and there's weeks where I hit the gym 5-6 times and other weeks where I give myself a break. The thing is,…

have you checked how many calories snow shovelling burns though, now that's a definate work out too! And definately dust off the Leslie DVD you wont be sorry. And like someone else posted, she has a December challenge coming up, it's on her walkathome page and FB, might be a good way to start....

I'm sorry about this. It totally sucks! I'm 276 lbs and can totally relate since most ellipticals or treadmills sold at a decent price don't go any higher than 250 lbs. So you basically need to lose weight first, a decent bit even, before you can attempt to use the exercise equipment! Kinda stupid isn't it? Like the…
