I love to roast veggies. You get a good portion for minimal calories. I usually do zucchini and squash and sprinkle them with Cajun seasoning. They get crispy and almost "chip-like". YUM. Also, using a low calorie tortilla as chips... slice it with a pizza cutter, sprinkle with spices, bake and dip hummus or salsa... soooo…

I'm in :))

There's a spray dressing (I think it's Wishbone) that is delicious. It's 1 calorie per spray and it comes in Italian, Ranch, Basalmic, and Raspberry flavors.

My ex actually likes "bigger" girls. I was 160 when I met him and gained 30 lbs in 4 months. He never wanted me to go to the gym because he was insanely jealous (not to mention verbally and physically abusive). So I'm just happy to focus on me, because I hate being heavy and I want to be what I think is hot again! :smile:

Beautiful beautiful! Congrats!

Just sent you a friend request :) Something that really works is WATER. Get the biggest water bottle you can find and chug it allll day. It helps me with cravings. Another thing is exercise. I have 2 kids, too, and I know its hard but it will really jumpstart your weight loss, even if you can only do 30 min of cardio a…

I was super scared to get on the scale after overindulging Christmas Eve & Christmas... ate "normal" yesterday and drank a boatload of water to flush all the sodium out of my system and didn't gain a freaking pound! I was stoked this morning! :)

I am still so insecure, I avoid eye contact with anyone... I just focus on my workout. I've been told by former boyfriends that I "look mean" before they actually talked to me... I guess it's a defense mechanism. Need to work on my confidence :/

Here's a quote for you. "Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated". :) As long as you know you're not starving yourself and you're losing weight or toning up the right way, don't worry about what other people say. Enjoy your body and congratulations on your weight loss!

Coffee-Mate just came out with sugar free Peppermint Mocha creamer... so I use 4 tablespoons of that and a little Splenda for about 60 calories. Delish!

I am so glad I ran across this thread. I am prone to depression, but it's always really bad in the winter. On top of being gray and dreary, it's raining today. :( Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one. I'm going to start taking Vitamin D tonight, tho. Maybe it'll help. xo

Awesome! This really has helped me stay on track as far as having to get on and log in what I eat... it's a great tool. Happy One Week! :)

This made my day, ha. Hello, my name is "I will never be on a "diet" again" Tired of dieting! Changing my way of eating for the last time. xoxo

Heyy :) I think it's too soon to tell whether or not the plan will work for you, but it might be the quanity and type of foods you're eating (just mainly the Cheddar Mac stuff)... is that frozen? If it is, that has boatloads of sodium, which could cause you to retain water. I would try to just re-learn how to eat and…

I am going through a break-up as well. Was with the guy for 2 1/2 years, had a daughter with him, and after being physically & verbally abused for the last time, I left. I know how difficult it is to have feelings for someone and it not work out, but it will get better. I love to go to the gym and get on the treadmill when…

You look amazing... congratulations!

Thank y'all! :)

I wanna do it! Haven't done one before! :) Thanks!
