my Durham *kitten* is sitting inside in the a/c!!! no outside exercise for me, thanks! does your building have stairs? walk them several times. push ups on your desk or wall. triceps dips on your desk. jumping jacks. good luck!

Been here since January 2009, reached my goal weight in September 2010, and have no intentions of going anywhere! I love it here! And, I will continue to log my food - well, most of it. I've gotten less strict since being in maintenance mode.

I don't even have to be bored to think like this. I think I have a tendency towards OCD - so I can focus on something, like FOOD, and obsess about it... Until I get it... Then it's all over!

Yep, sucker here! I tried it, but my very fine hair just couldn't hold any body when I used that stuff. I tried it several times with no luck.

Shirataki noodles - never before had I had noodles that smelled like fish... And, I WON'T be having them again!

I like to put sweet pickles with chocolate chip cookies or Oreos - Yummmm! I hate raw tomatoes but love tomato soup, ketchup, salsa, roasted tomatoes - ANYTHING but raw. I used to eat mayonnaise crackers - saltines with mayo. Yikes...

A co-worker of mine had laser hair removal done on her legs, and she is extremely happy with the results! She loves it and how she doesn't have to shave any more. It takes several treatments, but she swears it was all worth it!

I served this shrimp scampi with spaghetti squash and it was delish!! http://recipes.menshealth.com/Recipe/two-minute-shrimp-scampi.aspx

Grilled up the chicken, fix some brown rice, and throw it all together with the black beans. Top it with some salsa or pico de gallo. Or guacamole!

Trying the pictures again... Christmas 2008 Christmas 2010

I started at 160 and am now at 120. I've been in maintenance since September 2010. I'll try to post pictures, but I'm challenged when it comes to this. That didn't work! I'll try again...

A small guy goes into an elevator, when he gets in he notices a huge guy standing next to him. The big guy looks down upon the small guy and says, "7 foot tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch d**k, 3 pound left ball, 3 pound right ball, Turner Brown." The small guy faints! The big guy picks up the small guy and brings him to,…

Peanut butter addict here. I am in LOVE with Smucker's Natural - both creamy and chunky! All peanuts and no added sugar!! YUM!!

I tend to agree with this. I'd like to think people are not jealous or envious, but rather have a warped or skewed sense of what normal weight looks like. I had a co-worker come out and ask me if I had cancer, if that was why I had lost so much weight. And, I hate the continued question "You're not STILL trying to LOSE…

Even my eyebrows and fingers sweat!!! And, I'm at my goal weight. Fat or not, I am a sweater. It's just your body's way of regulating its temperature, cooling itself down. Still, it makes me feel like I'm getting a killer workout!!

I can say this, but I never practice what I preach! DO NOT LET THE SCALES DETERMINE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF!!! I am a scale addict, and my weight can fluctuation up to 4 lbs in the SAME day! It's just water/fluid and normal variances! Please don't let that little 1/2 lb derail your hard work!!!

Love the taste of the veggies, not the dressing!

47 and child-free by choice. I have to say that I am truly amazed by the number of folks who have responded with similar responses! I have always been made to feel like a freak for not wanting kids. The kids that I grew up with, went to school with, were the meanest humans that I've ever met!! I'm happy with my 2 dogs. My…

yea, the oxygen thing!

Yea, I get this! Trying to explain to my friend at work why I like it so much... Um... January Jones looks like Princess Grace? Is that reason enough?

I also love the AMC shows. I just started Mad Men, renting them from Seasons 1 - ... LOVE that show too!! Can't wait for Walking Dead to come back on. Did you like or watch The Killing? Missed the season premiere last night due to family priorities, but did DVR it!!! and WILL be watching tonight!

one of my VERY FAVORITE shows on TV! love Walt!!

Saltine crackers with mayonnaise... bleck...

I've always been a morning person, too, so this wasn't a big stretch for me. I work out at home, so I get up at 4:30, drink a smoothy/shake, and am on my elliptical by 5. I tried eating just a little something - banana and some PB - but that made me sick. I have to stick with the liquids! It only took me a few days to get…

When I get stuck, I try cutting back on carbs and sugars. Not cut them out completely, just eat fewer carbs.

OMG - it's dead here too! And, I've got another 5 hours to go. Think I may brave it and try Week 4 Day 1 of C25K ...

LOVE oatmeal, and always like trying new ways of making it. Thanks for sharing!

Instead of water, could she chew gum to keep her throat from drying out?

101 today, not taking the heat index into account. TOOO HOT!

I also highly recommend going to a fitness store to be properly fitted. I recently did that, and I got the best shoes I've ever had.
