  • I had the choice of $15 a month at a gym on my way home from work or $40 a month at the gym that is a 1 minute walk from my work. I chose the more expensive one because I knew after a 45 minute drive I would be less likely to stop at the gym! Walking across the street is way easier and gives me less time to change my mind…
  • I think that is a little harsh. Changing your lifestyle is hard enough as it is. If someone has children and a busy schedule and needs to eat a frozen meal a few times a month to stay on track with their calories, I don't think that's a big deal. Yes there are obviously healthier things out there, but it won't be the end…
  • First, I'd like to say congrats to everyone! Seriously inspiring! I am 5'4"...before is me at about 158 in August of 2010 and after is me at 140 in April of 2011...I've gained about 7 lbs back and so that is what I am working on losing now :smile:

I was planning on having this "burrito bowl" with a Gardenburger frozen black bean patty on the side and was full enough to skip the black bean burger. If you are looking to make it more filling for yourself, adding the grilled chicken will help. Fruit on…
  • @BebeRenee I love Chipotle too and this actually tasted better to me!! Something about the fresh ingredients made it a lot more satisfying and tastier in my opinion :smile:
  • @lil_pulp I ate it right after steaming the rice in the microwave and put the cheese on top of the rice right away so it got a little metly. Then I threw on the rest of the ingredients cold and ate it. The rice and melty cheese were the only warm part for me!
  • No one likes chipotle? :ohwell:

  • I don't think you overreacted at all. I have been a sm/med most of my life and at my heaviest two years ago a sales person pointed out rack of dresses to me and said "these are all larges so you should look through them!". I was mortified because I never thought I would get to a size large (I'm short) and it ruined the…
