I know it is water weight cause I am not going over board with the tasty treats, and save up calories from during the week to pad the weekend. Its just a smidgen of frustration being expressed. I did take bud select 55 in addition to other beers to have a lower cal alternative. I also walk the dogs thru the campgrounds a…

Wooo..only up a pound and a half after this last camping weekend. Maybe I'll figure it out one of these times :smiley:

ah s'mores...the basic smore is splitting a graham cracker in half, roasting a marshmello on the open fire, and when its to its gooey goodness done, putting it on one half of a cracker, top it with a piece of chocolate, then put the other cracker on top. My family likes to tweek the classic by using peanut butter cups for…

I have been taking Mich Ultra lime with 95 Cal each. I usually do take the dog for a longish walk, but camping with my mom last weekend, she fixed a crappot of food that I could not measure accurately (and her cooking choices varies from my healthier options). I did a body pump class on friday and could barely walk on Sat…

nuts...berries with seeds (chocolate covered strawberries *cry*), whole grain bread with the seeds in them, popcorn, corn, super spicy, some tomato based products but not ketchup. This is what I have noticed. I also avoid greasy foods or have in small amounts, ie grilled chicken over fried or a hamburger. It is different…

5'2 and current is 160 gw is 135 and we'll see what i think when i hit there. When I was alot heavier, 160 seemed like it would be awesome. I have been here for a while now and think 135 would be awesome :)

I like Maurices Kaylee jeans (cheaper for every day jeans). They also have the Taylor jeans that are a curvy fit, but I did not care for how they felt. Also Silver Suki are good for the pear girls (pricier for the "nice" jeans). I have a 30 inch waist, 43 inch hips, 34 at the belly button and their 30 31 (cause i am short)…

I lost some weight and got to a comfy spot a few years ago and stayed here in a 5lb range w/o counting calories. Life just got hectic and I no longer had the drive to lose weight. I was actually pretty statisfied with my progress and where I was at. I stopped counting calories, and just did my thing. I found I tended to…

I would love to be able to get any boot I wanted zipped up my calf. I would like to be a single digit size, and be around a size 6. I would like to be able to carry my children as they grow to bed with no problems (ok so my boys are both 70lbs and I can do it, but they are just gonna get bigger). I would like to not FEEL…

I like to weigh in every morning after I wake up, after I pee, before breakfast, in my pj's. I record the loses, but this helped keep me in check. I know that after a weekend of heavy eating and drinking (which is not the norm but happens), that I am going to be up, but I like to see it go back down after the water weight…

I like the jeans at Maurices. They have a curvy fit (taylor) or a normal fit which actually fits me better in the ways that i like (kaylee). They have a bit of stretch to them and are 9/10, 7/8 and such so I wear a pair for a while, and they are less then 30. I do have jeans from our consignment store and goodwill, but i…

Cause I am pushing 40. I remember after my first was born when I was 29, I joined the gym and got a session to lay out a work out program, and then...slacked off. I had thought to myself that I should lose weight before I turn 30. Now almost 10 years have passed and I did part of the journey 2 years ago, and then slacked.…

I have 5'1.5 and have a goal weight of 135 (but I know I will range 135 to 140 when its done). Honestly I have not ever been there in my adult life and have no idea if that is where I wish to stop. A few years ago, I was at 210, and got down to 160 (range 160 to 165) and have maintained it for a couple years now. This is…

mmmmm...beeer... I have to pretty much cut it out during the process, however, I do go out about once a month and on that night I drink. I try to 'save up' calories that week and work out a bit extra that day to make them fit into my intake. I also do find that it stalls out the weight loss, but its retained water i…

I have a brand of jeans i wear and when i get close, but not quite there, I will buy the next size down (usually its cause there is a good sale going on), that way I have them when I need them. I have bought clothes that were a smidge too tight at the end of season clearance for the next year, and so far that is working…

I second what the previous poster said. New clothes will be a good thing...but if you wanna cut cost, check out goodwill and thrift stores as well as consignment stores. Shop the clearance racks at Dept stores. Target has a bunch of mens clothes on clearance right now...Just pick up enough to get you through for a while. I…

Beer at the hockey game...and more beer after while playing darts on friday. Sat night we ended up going out for chinese buffet....I regret nothing!!!! and really even though i went over on cal's it was within the daily burn (cept maybe the chinese cause those crab ragoons were tasty).

I am 5'2" and would like to be down to 135. Actually float 135 to 140. I do have a larger bone structure, and think this would look fine on me. I have not been there since i was much much younger and at 37 i'm good with that, specially since I'm a total pear and big butts are in now right??

Today I for lunch i had 3 slices of deli pineapple ham ( 2 oz, 55 cal) with a slice of low fat cheddar cheese (60 cal) laid flat then wraped around 1 baby dill pickle ( 0 cal), 1 apple turnover yogurt (90 cal) and some tortilla chips (.5 oz, 70 cal). Then i topped it all off with 2 pieces of cookie dough (180 cal).…

im usually up 2 to 5 lbs just before, then at like day 5 it starts to come off. A few days after its done, all the water weight is gone, and if I have been 'good' and consistant with excercise thats when the loss shows up, in a large drop (large being relative).

I have no pics..but I went from 17.5 inch arms down to 15.5 inch arms after losing 45lbs. However, if i tighten up the tape to get to the muscle, I would have 14 inch arms. That flab is here to stay for me. I still have another 25 to 30 lbs i would like to lose, but I don't think my arms will ever recover. I have stretch…

Height: 5'2 CW: 165 Lw: 160 (need to get back on the wagon) GW: 135 37.5-30.5-42.5 I wear a size 10 in most jeans (I do like them tight, but not muffin top tight), a size 6 or 8 in dresses that have the right lines to them...most of my weight is in the hips, butt and thighs. Goal stats: ummm 36-24-36 :) Dunno what my…

I have been doing that. I have a brand of jeans I like, so i buy the next size down for motivation when the size i am in fits perfect or is loose. I have shirts that I buy that are a smidge tight, that i know in 5 or 10 lbs they will look awesome that I buy too. So far it works well. I only have a couple of items that I…

Hubby and I both have different grim reaper type costumes for walking the kids around (cause we can layer clothes under these). For our halloween party this weekend, he has a hotdog costume and I have a taco costume.

I have to give up my beer when I am going hard core calorie counting and losing. I allow one night a month to get my drink on, but I know when i do drink, my activities the next day are down, not to mention the poor food choices i make the day of and the day after. Once i get to my spot I want to be, i shall bring my beers…

Hubby just got me an early xmas present of a fitbit zip. It connects to mfp (and loseit) so the foods you enter on here will transfer to fitbit's website and as it synchs with your computer you get an update on what your true caloric burn is for the day (or least truer then some of the estimates). I don't really log…

I lost last year starting at about this time till march then barely lost over the summer and did not excercies. Once the kids started back to school I planned on picking right back up, and yeah...not so much. I did get to the gym more and did notice that i was not gaining, but lost some inches (not much cause I was still…

It happens. Last year from Oct till about March I lost 40lbs. i have maintained that weight and lost a couple more, but am having a very hard time getting back into the groove of watching what i eat and excercising. I have a 20 year reunion coming up next June and would like to lose this last 30 lbs. It seems like every…

I save em..then treat myself to several beers or a nice dinner out. I figure its more of the week count for calories then the day.

I totally understand and can sympathize. I am down to 167 from 207 and of all the things that has gotten smaller, my hips/*kitten* area is not following the trend. However, I do have a nice shape anyway. I hope that when I get down to goal weight, my hips will have decreased more and I know they will cause thats where 75%…
