@bernalgirl‌: Welcome and I looooove sharing recipes! I had caesar salad tonight and I bought it at Farm Boy so I looked at the calories and I was shocked that there were so few! The salad was kale instead of romaine so super healthy but now I need to know what else they put in it! :)

@bregalad5‌: WOOT! WTG! I took my dog for a walk today (2 days in a row now :) ) It feels really good to go outside again. I need new shoes, need to wear socks when I go for a walk and I may half to see my doctor about my knee (I slipped on the ice last spring and really damaged my knee but never had it looked at) but…

@burnettk12: Welcome! There are many people in our boat! I'd say this is probably the biggest cruise ship out there! LOL Hope you enjoy your time with us... you'll find some really motivating people here!

@ninthnarnian‌: Holy cow that's quite an oops on my part! I must have been tired when I wrote all that! My apologies to both women I mixed up! @didjaever: pizza calories will depend on the toppings... meat lovers = 300 won't cover it lol... veggie delight = probably good with 300 calories... and then there's everything in…

@mildollarsmile‌: Welcome welcome welcome! It's great that you're willing to accept small steps! I used to give myself specific dates for my goals but then if I didn't reach them, I'd what??? EAT!!! Ya... Hi my name is Caroline and I'm an emotional eater. Now my goals are smaller and more frequent with flexible timelines.…

Good morning everyone! The sun is shining here and the temperature has gone (a bit). :) Today will be a good day! @kasey_ford: Welcome and I sure wish I had a chef in the family! Just think of all the healthy possibilities you have access to! Don't focus on the nibbles but maybe on how to make them healthier nibbles! :)…

So many new people to welcome and so many victories to celebrate! It's so exciting to read about the motivation running rampant and the successes you are all having! For those of you struggling, share your struggles because most of us have most likely had the same struggles or are currently working through them. This…

I am also addicted to Timmies... I started buying cane sugar and half and half cream that I leave at work so I get a medium black coffee from Timmies and use my own cream and sugar. Tim's uses 18% cream whereas half and half I think is 10% and cane sugar is a bit better than refined white stuff. :) Welcome to our newbies!

WOW! I didn't realize how behind I was on the posts! It's been a rough week being sick and dealing with stuff at work and it's spilled over into my eating but I have to say, reading all your posts has given me the boost I needed! My energy levels are coming back and the weather is getting nicer. I am going to take the dog…

Welcome DeeD946 and thank you Bobzfit for being such a strong supporter of our little (but growing) group! Every day is a struggle for me as well and I think it comes down to accepting that there will be bad days but as long as the good ones outnumber the bad and that you're able to brush off the bad ones and get right…

Welcome @zena_marie, @frogprogrammer, @gbjess204, and @SaraD72! So I went over my calories today. That's what happens when you don't plan ahead. You come home tired and ordering pizza is way easier than cooking. LOL But tomorrow is another day and I did have a huge salad with my 2 slices! :) Oh and frogprogrammer... there…

Oh! And @enoughisenough9‌: We don't judge... We may offer opinions and motivation and attempt to virtually kick your butt to get you back in line (just kidding) but we only want to see you succeed. :) Welcome to us!

Happy Sunday morning everyone and welcome to our newest friends! @swarren1037: So glad to see you back! @danielle7577: That's probably one of the hardest things to do! I know it is for me. That's an awesome accomplishment! I am proud of so many things this week. 1- The weight loss (let's not kid ourselves... every ounce…

@prof_newme‌: Minor set backs are ok. It's how we respond to them that matters. :)

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! I just had nachos with my turkey chili on them and they were awesome! I used multigrain chips and tex-mex cheese. They really hit my craving bang on!

Welcome hippychick5983! We really do have an awesome bunch here and I'm thrilled to have you join us! @everyone who discovered baby spinach: I discovered kale this year. I love it! But beware when it's digested if eaten in large quantities! It's not easy being green... LOL!!! This cold is kicking my butt still but I had a…

Don't give up on us Jones! It's ok to have a couple bad weeks... I'm sick right now and there's nothing I'd love more than to dig into something fattening and go to bed for a few days! Just tell yourself that it's so worth the effort. We're here for you and you've been such a great source of motivation for us. Let us do…

Hey All, let's remember that we're all here to be motivated and to help each other reach the challenging weight loss goals we've set for ourselves. I am always happy and willing to share information I get along the way and I love hearing about the successes others have had with different techniques but regardless of all…

Hi All! Hope everyone is having a great day today! I find this recent discussion very interesting because it's just further proof that weight loss is such a personal journey. What works for one will not necessarily work for another. All we can do is motivate each other on continuing our journeys and offering insight on…

Good morning everyone! I apologize if I'm not as active here as usual... I'm sick. My throat is on fire and all my energy is going into avoiding coughing at all costs. I'm such a baby when I'm sick because it doesn't happen often. Ah well... it has its perks. I came home last night to hot chicken noodle soup. OK so it was…

@didjaever‌: Fantastic results! Keep up the great work!

Welcome terrylhatcher and didjaever! We certainly have some great active folks in here who are truly motivational! We look forward to sharing this journey with you! @prof_newme‌: Thanks for that recipe! I love brussel sprouts!

@emerald_gecko1975‌: Welcome! What an awesome accomplishment for 12 days! What are you struggling with right now? Your momentum is awesome so let's figure this out together and keep you on track! @prof_newme‌: My pleasure! Mine's in the slower cooker as we speak and it smells awesome!

Good morning Everyone! Weigh-in morning for me and it went great! :) Now to figure out what crock-pot recipe will be on today's menu... lol Chili recipe on its way (I haven't forgotten). @bregalad5‌: That's awesome! I am a professed geek and love board games! Congrats one making smart choices. That's a HUGE achievement!

Also, if you're eating a lot of frozen meals or pre-packed foods, you're probably intake of salt is probably very high which would cause additional retention to what you're already experiencing.

Hey Wendy! Have you got anything else you can sink your teeth into that might be less calories? Have you tried a glass of water and then waiting 10 minutes? You can do this! But just remember that falling off the wagon every once in a while is ok... as long as you get right back on. We're only human and we're not perfect.…

Evenin' everyone and welcome Stephckc and bigchubbohanz! Went out for dinner and ended up going over my calories. BUT... I made good choices and had I exercised, I would have been fine. I really wanted pasta or nachos but I chose stuffed mushrooms (vegetarian) and a garden salad with chicken and it was fantastic! Yes I…

TGIF everyone and welcome welcome to our newest additions! Like Danielle mentioned, planning is everything! If that doesn't help you, try making one of the weekend mornings your weigh-in day! I weigh-in on Sunday mornings unless I know the dinner we have planned on Saturday night is heavier (not in calories but in weight -…
