I live near Corpus Christi.

I'm sending you a friend request now.

Karen - Thanks for the info about how the weeks run Molly - enjoy spring break - interesting to think of spring break with snow on the ground. The college students over here would not be happy. Spring break is typically beach party time. :drinker: Nikki - Robot party sounds like fun. Would love to see some photos from that…

Thanks for the welcome! What a workout you had!! Hope you are feeling better today. I chose this house because I like that everybody communicates and its not just posts on the wall. Everybody comments about each others activities and comments. I have already found a lot to like here. I am married and a mom of 3 with 2…

Eat when you’re hungry I know this sounds obvious, but eating sugary foods causes a subsequent crash in energy, leaving you wanting more sweetness. On the other hand, eating for slow energy release is a sustainable way to keep your weight loss motivation firing on all cylinders without you having to consciously think about…

Looks like you have a lot of options. Mine is open and I have about 1200-1400 a day. Weekends are sometimes off but feel free to check it out.

Thanks for the explanation bumflapassassin. Does your week run Sunday through Saturday?

I like it!!!

YUP that definitely does it for me!!!

All great advice but #4 is my fav! I have NO appetite when I come back from boot camp where I work out. All I want is my protein shake and a shower!!

9 lbs. in 2 weeks is amazing!! Congrats!!!!

Hi! I didn't like to work out either. I started working out about a year and a half ago and I love it! It's not easy and I won't really say it's fun but what I will say is that it's rewarding. I have to miss my workout tonight to help my daughter with a school project and I'm really upset about it. That's HUGE for me!! I…

In my opinion, anything that is making you crave other fattening foods is not for you. I agree with other posters who have said - YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. If you don't you will certainly gain back everything you have lost PLUS more. Also, you have to do what works for you. I have a protein shake (Body by…

Well said!! Thank you!

Hi Hufflepuff Members! I would like to join your house. What do I need to do? I have read through a few posts and I love the way everybody communicates and encourages each other. Thanks!

Hi Madeline! Are you using all the tools available on this site? Are you logging your food, drinking your water and tracking your weight and inches? I had lost about 35 lbs. and then got stuck for about six months. I would gain and lose the same 5 lbs. for that entire 6 months. In Jan. I decided enough was enough!!! I…

I had to change my mindset. I used to mess up and then tell myself I would restart on Monday but Monday would never come. Now I try to remember that just because I messed up at lunch doesn't mean I have to continue to splurge the rest of the day. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

This makes perfect sense!! I DO feel guilty for not working out. What wasted energy! It works better for me to have a scheduled time to work out rather than just saying I'll do it when I get a chance. That's why it's easier during the week.

I hope this makes it a little bit clearer for you! :D [/quote] Yes, your comments were helpful. I would love to serve as moderator if you are interested in having me.

Great job!! Congratulations!!

Hi! My name is Kathy and I live in Texas. I started my weight loss journey in June, 2010. I had lost 35 lbs. by June, 2011 in order to win a contest with my sisters. I maintained that loss but could not seem to lose any additional weight. I started my 90 day Challenge on Jan. 2nd and have lost 9 lbs. and 5.5 inches since…

Hi everyone! I started on my weight loss journey in June, 2010. I lost about 35 lbs. in a year in order to win a contest between my sisters and me. I WON! I was halfway to my goal. I maintained my weight loss from June, 2011 to Jan., 2012. I decided in Jan. I was going to get rid of the remaining weight. I joined the 90…

Hi! I just found your group. I might be interested in helping. Please let me know what is required of an Admin/Moderator. Thanks!

I am finding I'm more comfortable wearing shirts that are a little tighter across my stomach. I am learning that shirts that have a little shape are much more flattering than big baggy shirts.

Congrats to you!

I drink 1-2 shakes a day. I always replace breakfast with a shake. On the days I workout I use the same shake mix as a protein drink. On days I don't workout I drink my second shake to replace lunch. I have recipes for over 100 different shakes. My favorite is the Chocolate Almond Delight (approx. 160 calories): 8 oz.…
