Great job! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Keep up the good work! I've been working my tail off & still I'm at 18 lousy pounds!!!!!! Stay with it. You can do it! I like the idea of setting little goals... maybe running/walking a certain number of miles per week. whatever :flowerforyou: You can do it!

wahoooo!!!! Good for you! I was going to take today off working out. But... DH got home late, was just sitting here, thinking about grilling dinner, thinking about snacking, wishing for a glass of wine, checking & finding only 115 calories left after logging dinner... so I went & burned 700 calories on the bike! Got out of…

Good for you. :flowerforyou: Get it out here. :grumble: We'll be happy to listen. :wink: Let 'er fly! :heart: We're here for you! :heart:

:heart: Looking back on surviving a stressful week... :heart: Looking forward to a productive weekend... :heart: Expecting beautiful weather.

I got a really cool one from Amazon that weighs your food, you punch in the food code & it gives you the nutritional breakdown for that amount. So neat.

I saw an ad in a magazine for a powder you sprinkle on your food "to reduce the effects of carbohydrates!" Sounds pretty weird to me. Has anyone seen it?

mya- You are wasting away, girl! :flowerforyou: I'm pretty excited. At the gym today I only lost a pound in the past month, but... For the past 4 days I have burned 940-1100 calories each day! wahooooooo!!!!!!! So I know next month will be better! :bigsmile:

Some of us are working really hard & not seeing such positive results. In theory I think the testing provides a way to measure growth, but it is so stressful when there's so much pressure. That's all. Our school had a 30 point dip last year & we can't put our finger on what changed, so this year is extremely important. And…

It IS awesome! :bigsmile: Great job!

I miss it, too, when I don't go for awhile. At my weigh in today, I was disappointed to find I only lost 2 1/2 pounds, 2 inches, 1 # body fat. :grumble: I feel like I've worked so hard & worked out more than ever, but then I had 2 weeks of yogurt, (sodium) cottage cheese & pasta. So I guess even though I stayed within my…

That's great! :flowerforyou: Keep it up!

I like a BLT salad. :blushing:

We're testing this week. ppppbbbbbbtttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I'd rather eat real & have less. Sometimes when I mention recipes here I say low fat, but I don't really use those products.:ohwell: I just don't want to get a lot of flack from everyone.:wink:

I make this, too, but I cook fresh cauliflower in the micowave, then smash with some sour cream, grated cheese & butter. Just use your fav low fat versions.

Good for you Missy! :heart: You've done sooo well! We're all inspired by you. Thank you for sharing your story. :flowerforyou:

That's great! You're the incredible shrinking woman!!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Plan ahead. Shop less frequently & plan those meals so you don't have to go pick up lunch. Plan. Log. Pay attention to what you choose to buy & eat. :smile: I'd be the same way if I let myself. :flowerforyou:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That's funny. Because ALL my weight is in my bottom half! :frown: From my waist up I don't look like my halves belong together! :ohwell:

Great job! One of these days I'll be happy to join you! :bigsmile:

It doesn't seem to matter for me. As long as it's planned calories I'm good to go.

stay busy! exercise search for recipes on the net come here & read inspirational posts :wink:

wahoooooo!!!!!!!!! Another good workout day! Didja bring it?

I don't buy many processed foods - not so many fat free or low cal products. I use lean meats, veggies, whole grains. A typical meal is grilled chicken, raw veggies - celery, red peppers, pea pods, string cheese. Lots of salads, some dressing, not too much. Processed altered foods cost a lot more.

I bought an Omron pedometer. It's programmed with my age & weight & it tells me how far I've walked & how many calories I burned. I took it to work & I walked 2 whole miles just doing normal (sedentary I thought!) stuff. You might be surprised.

mya- You're doing sooo good! You're going to break 200 any minute! :bigsmile: I can just tell! :flowerforyou:

You're doing great! Thanks for sharing your success. :flowerforyou:

:bigsmile: I burned over 900 calories yesterday! This is the beginning of a serious-get-off-yer-rear-week for me! :bigsmile: I'm so glad to be feeling better! :heart:
