Find foods that are healthier and surround yourself with it :smile:

Good luck with your little black dress!

You get used to finding undies that suck it in :tongue:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Scary-Easy-Pumpkin-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/ Here's another idea! Will be making these soon! Think I may add in either some nuts or cranberries :)

This sounds amazing!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! I wonder if there's a lower calorie frosting?

I plan on doing all the calorie counts on my normal food, and have them ready to use! I also plan on making my own salad (helps that it'll be at my house), and eating the whole thing before I go and fill a plate with my normal food. And I'm for sure going to eat a couple of pieces of pecan pie... MMmmmmm.... pie.... :wink:

Looks like some great goals so far guys! Lovely to be on this month challenge with you all! CW: 173.0 GW: 168.0 Weigh in dates: 11/1: 173.0 11/8: 11/15: 11/22: A goal NSV (None Scale Victory): Work out with my HRM 4 times a week with at least 600 calories burned, and an additional 2 days of lighter workouts.

Sounds like a good plan! My first food goal for this day is to make sure I eat breakfast, and try my best to either get in a BIG workout the night before or a regular one the day of. Only problem is that I'll have to be doing lots of cleaning during those times, and that's not enough calorie burn. Second food goal is to…

Whow! I had NOOOO idea I was getting quoted in here! Your comments were SOOOO sweet! Thank you all so much! And may I say... there are some major hotties in this newsthread lol. It took me about 5 years all together, but mainly because I wasn't really trying in the beginning. And the brown dress is from David's Bridal, and…

You may want to re-evaluate your goals for this month. 20 is VERY high. If you can get there that's great, but it won't be too likely =/

:blushing: Thank you all! Made me feel better!

I've only ever had edamame at a Japanese sushi place, VERY good. I haven't wanted to risk buying it, cooking it, and not liking it. BUT I may just have to give it a go now! :D

Have to say mine's a sadder story... I lost almost all of my chest :sad: (upside is that was a lot of extra fat...). Kept my hips though, because apparently I have WIDE hip bones (I know for sure now because I can feel them lol).

Have to say it's amazing that your tattoo still looks great after that much stomach weight loss! Congrats!

Great job!!! You made it!! I made my extra goal too! SW of this: 178 completed the callenge at: 175.8 Met new goal: 172.8 I doubt it'll be that tomorrow... so I'm counting it today! :happy:

Some more Halloween candy tips: 1.) Eat your dinner a little later and also save one of your snacks for right before the handing out the candy. You don't want to be hungry and holding a bowl full of chocolate 2.) During those times when the kids aren't at the door get some exercise in! Jog in place, do lunges to and from…

You're all welcome for me starting this! I liked the idea of this group, since I looked at the other groups and a lot of them had already started, and other ones had a goal already set for everyone. I wanted to give everyone the chance to set whatever they felt they could do in that time frame. My hope is that I can post a…

Well then most likely it's not fat! Could be heavier muscles or water weight :smile:

Just wanted to say I'm really proud of everyone!!! We only have a few days left, keep up the awesome work! :heart:

http://lowfatcooking.about.com/od/christmas/r/cranoatcookies.htm COOOKKKKIIIIEEEESSSSS!!!

Reached mine today too! Starting Weight: 178 Today's Weight: 175.8 Starting a new goal for Wednesday (since some of my "weight" was water weight related) Starting Weight: 175.8 Goal Weight 173.0 (something to reach for!)

Wooo! Way to see those numbers all ready! Everyone keep it up!!

Someone once said, "Never reward yourself with food. You're not a dog." Not that I really take that into consideration, really. If I've had a good week I get some TCBY or a pumpkin spice latte. Other goals are clothes (mainly because you have to because of the weight loss). Getting a manicure/pedicure (or spa treatment).…

http://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-boost-your-metabolism ^^^ just because I like pretty pictures to go along with my advice :flowerforyou:

Awesome that you made some friends! I'm going to for sure keep researching and make sure I can afford it!

Thanks for all of the responses!! Some great ideas in there! My next (kind of stupid) question is: do you think they're worth the money?

This is amazing!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurts me to write that I've gained 5 pounds in one flippin' week, but I need it to come off so i can continue!!!!! SOOOO CW: 178 GW: 176 (but hopefully less, since my recent gain was over one week!)

HARD CANDY! Or gum... I get the same boredness when I'm at work, super easy to just mindlessly eat! So, I try and either have healthy crunchy foods, or multiple kinds of hard candy (normally sugar free)

My brother is also quoted as saying, "I liked Fat Jessie better! Skinny Jessie is mean! Bring back Fat Jessie!" Which is a scary thought of course, and I'm sure he doesn't acutally MEAN that I should gain the weight back. And the problem is, he and I do spend a lot of time together. He lost his license, so I have to be the…
