That's great!!! I had an "a-hah!" moment about a month or two into my weight loss journey: I was eating out A LOT and at the worst place, eating the worst things. One day I finally realized that I didn't even enjoy the crappy, processed "food" I was eating. I knew that if I ordered the same crap I always did it was going…

I learned that I only like Greek yogurt either as a sour cream substitute or with honey - otherwise it is just not my thing.

I'm 5'2 as well at 148 with a similar goal. I just started the 30DS and take several (3-5) Zumba classes a week with regular walks. My calorie intake is set for 1200 and I only eat back a small portion of my work calories. I've been plateauing on and off too (just pushed through my latest one) but it sounds like your plan…

Bump!

Lol! That sounds right - although he is the type of guy where if I don't pack him lunch he'll either go without eating or go to McDonald's for large triple quarter pounder combo.

I'd have to agree. My guy has actually lost weight because of the choices I'm making (cooking dinner, packing lunches, etc.) and now that he's seen a couple pounds drop off he started working out again. If he is really that unsupportive of you getting healthy and strong then he's dealing with some inner issues. Sorry.

I used the app first and then finally decided to log on the website and see what else it had to offer. To be honest, even though we're on here dealing with complete strangers, when I first started my network it was kind of difficult to have my junk thrown out there for everyone to see. I know that you can change your…

Nothing inspires me like when someone walks up and demands to know what I've been doing to lose so much weight :)

I don't necessarily agree - I think that being a "big girl" can still allow a girl to be sexy and adventurous and quite the opposite of a submissive. Okay, so I gained a crap-load of weight, it doesn't mean that I still can't make a man fall to his knees. I've been thin but I've never been a "small girl." Even with all the…

^^^ Totally agree. I think some of us are just built with thick legs. Especially me and my Latin girls.

I think we all have self image issues regardless of the stage we are at in our lives and the whole reason for joining MFP is to be surrounded by like-minded people who are facing the same obstacles we are during this journey. I've seen it too - where people post really negative comments for no reason (I've also seen some…

Yup, I do vodka and diet cherry 7up. So we're just going to have to consider them extra calories and work em off. Lame. Even those super light beers add up after a while :(

Omg! I grew up in Kingsburg! I moved during high school to Paso Robles and am now in the San Diego area. Random... lol!

Bump! Omg I have to try these! Thanks!

I'm 5'2 and fit in a general size 10 at about 155lbs. At 184lbs I was a 12/14 - want to get to around 120lbs whatever pant size that is!
-
I use the same logic as jlbay and I make each one individually - even if I'm using regular chips (like tostitos scoops) I can still monitor how many calories I take in. My family is from New Mexico so I like to make up some red or green chile (100% chile, water, garlic and cumin) throw some pork in it and then sprink some…

I tend to give in to a bite or two of whatever it is but I try and use the 15 min rule. I wait 15 minutes and if I'm still dying for it I go ahead. You'd be surprised at the percentage of cravings are really just fleeting thoughts.

Bump! Thanks!!!
-
I am!!! Okay, to be honest I haven't been doing it every day but it has been an AWESOME little morning wake up routine. I'm in to work by 7am so there's no way I can hit the gym before going in (commute + totally not a morning person) but I really miss my morning workouts. This has been a great little pick me up before…
-
Oh, man! I totally missed this post! I'm in though - still have a few more days to go :) It'll be perfect add on to my current routine. Thanks!!!
-
I haven't really been focusing on it but I've been doing a lot of zumba. With all the hip movement and booty pumping I have actually seen a pretty significant change in that area. Yay!
-
PACKERS!!!!!!! <3<3<3

Yay! It's Friday!!! Think I'm going to go with Vodka and Diet 7up/Sprite. Now if only I can keep my pizza cravings at bay...

Hey congrats! I'm about half way through my journey as well! Any tips on what got you through to where you are now?
