I just made these tonight to satisfy a chocolate craving... http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/11/chocolate-chip-clouds.html. Sooooo good!!!

I'm doing it with a free app on my phone too. I started a few months ago but stopped due to a knee injury, trying too fast too soon. My problem is I don't know what speed to do!! I know everyone is different, but can someone tell me what speeds you are using for walking & jogging?

I'm in!! My goal is 100 miles for the month of July.

Thanks Jen, I found it yesterday after tons of searching. Lol. I changed my macros to 40/30/30 and was soooo close to hitting it today!!

Totally makes sense to me! I upped my calories from 1200 to 1440 a few weeks ago. Question... How do I change the % for carbs, fat & protein on here??

I did the 30DS a few times in March, but have made it a goal to complete the whole 30 days in April. I'm going to do each level for 10 days, no breaks. I also am doing additional cardio 3-4x a week. The scale went up 2+ lbs when I started & just this morning started to drop again.... thank God! I can't wait to see…

I resized in photobucket already but it's still too big for my phone. I'll edit again. It won't let me edit my post again to make lowercase :/

Thanks for posting for me Jen. I can't go back and edit again, so whatever!! LOL The baby isn't mine, it's a friends. Unfortunately I can't blame having a baby for gaining weight (again!)

Here's my before & "during." I've lost 17ish lbs by working out & eating more of the good things and less of the bad things ;) I still have another 20 or so that I'd like to lose. I can't get the stupid pic to post! GRR

My NSV's.... Clothes are looser and I'm soooo close to going down another size. The whole family is eating better. I'm still losing weight even with occasional spurges! I have more confidence. I can run and maintain 6.0 on the treadmill for minutes at a time. I NEVER thought I'd like running, but I'm learning to love it!…

I totally agree. On my big workout days where I burn 600+ calories, I do try to eat more... specifically protein & not just random crap. I also feel like I should have lost more than 16 lbs since I think I look like I've lost more. The exercise definitely helped to shape my body. I did WW in 2007 and lost 30 lbs but my…

My weight loss came to a halt last week so I'm mixing it up a bit earlier than I had planned. I started Couch 2 5K last night and plan on doing that 3x a week in addition to my elliptical workouts. In Jan, I did the elliptical 5x a week for an hour each time. My workout schedule for Feb... Day 1, Elliptical 63 min Day 2,…

I'm still going as well. I've lost a little over 10 lbs in the past month and I'm feeling great. I don't see it too much looking in the mirror, but my clothes are getting looser and dh said my butt looked smaller when I asked him how my new gym pants looked :) I'll take it!! WOO! LOL I'm still doing the elliptical 5x a…

My jeans are getting loose and I bought new workout pants today and they fit great!

We've had this scale for at least 2 years and haven't had any problems with it. http://www.amazon.com/Eatsmart-Precision-Bathroom-Technology-440-Pounds/dp/B0032TNPOE/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1327030970&sr=8-7

I'm walking a lot & not sitting near as much as I used to. I also try to get to the gym at least 3x a week to do the elliptical for 63 (60 min workout, 3 min cool down.) I've actually been getting there more than 3x a week which I'm very proud of. Once I drop some more weight I'll start on the other machines to do some…

I feel like I'm doing great. I'm doing my best with food choices & love being in control of that. I always thought I ate pretty healthy, but I didn't realize (or I did and chose to ignore it) how much mindless eating I did! I'd grab stuff off the kids plates, finish their food so it didn't go to waste, eat more than I…

Another one... I didn't get to the gym last night because all my workout pants were dirty :/ I was all set, ready to go but couldn't find any clean pants. I found ONE pair that were clean but they had a hole in the *kitten*.. not pretty! I'll be doing laundry all damn day & I WILL be going to the gym tonight!!!!

For dessert most nights I have a 90 cal FIber One brownie. They're yummy!!!

Su: Teriyaki Burgers, Sweet Potato Fries & Sautéed Zucchini & Onions M: black bean taco salads T: BLTs W: grilled chicken, hassleback potatoes & salad TH: leftovers F: Homemade Pizza Sa: Barbacoa Beef & Cilantro Lime Rice

I have the WW food scale & I love it! A mom at preschool works the front desk & let me use her discount too. Awesome! It's great knowing im eating the exact portion sizes.

We had teriyaki burgers, sweet potato fries & sautéed zucchini w/ onions. The fam had their burgers on buns & I had mine on romaine leaves. Totally satisfying & yummy and just around 400 calories for the whole meal.

That's what I have my settings at too. It definitely helps knowing that other people can see exactly what I'm eating.... good or bad!

There's an option to keep your food diary private, public or shared with friends only. I set mine to friends only. It keeps me on track knowing that I could be called out on what I'm eating. Lol.

I hate weights & am not really coordinated so I stick mainly to cardio, at least in the beginning. After I drop some weight & feel more comfortable in my own skin, I'll start on the weights & other machines. I love the elliptical and go for an hour easily. The treadmill is boring to me, and the stair machine totally kicks…

Yep, totally dummy proof & it doesn't need rise time either :) I use my bread machine to mix & knead for me, or you can use a stand mixer or the best tools in your kitchen.. your hands ;) Pizza Crust 1 Tbsp active dry yeast 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees) 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil or EVOO 1.5 c…

Fridays are homemade pizza night with salad at our house. I make the dough with half WW flour & the kids don't notice a difference. On my pizza, I go easy on the cheese & add lots of veggies. Yum!!

Hi! I'm McCoolMama on BBC. I want to lose 30ish lbs.. for the 3rd and LAST time! I've gained & lost the same 30 lbs twice over the last 4 years. I'm motivated and not planning on any more babies, so this is the time to do it. I turn 30 on March 15th and I'd like to be down 15-20 by then. The previous times I've lost a lot…
