It's definitely all a balancing act. I have found that using preventatives is the only way to go. Usually if I have an attack now, it's because I had more than one trigger at the same time. So I decided to try a new wine a while ago, and all of a sudden I had problems doing cardio because that was too many triggers for the…

Worked extra day at work, ate doritos for dinner (only 490 calories for a whole bag!) and TRIED to get eight little boys to practice soccer. We're going to get our little butts kicked again at tomorrows game. :glasses: Tired, going to bed early to get up early and do it all over again. Oh and no tv, so Grey's Anatomy on…

5'1" and started at 200. I set my goal at 60 lbs to lose. A few people noticed when I was down 10, but it's just lately that pretty much everyone is noticing the weight loss (now 25 lbs down).

pear shape with big thighs and calves. face and belly lost first - I used to look like E.T. - but I don't have the overhang anymore. wish my calves and arms would shed some fat.

4 x 23 = 92 Hoping it'll be 100 when I weigh in on Sunday!

I've done the same thing. I think that's about what I've counted it at before if it was a lunch bag size bag. Don't worry too much about it, as long as it doesn't happen every day, you'll be fine. Sometimes I do a little extra exercise if I have time in my day, it helps me feel a little less guilty and more in control.…

Great Ideas! I also always have whole grain tortilla whole grain pasta low fat cheese (learning how to limit cheese has been instrumental in my weight loss, but I can't live without it) popcorn are these clean?

Way to go!!!!:smile:

140, I know it should be lower, but when I get there - I'll take a look in the mirror and see what it looks like.

No, I look bad enough covered up. Favorite book?

I also have an active job - and was eating 1300. Recently I switched to 1500 and continue to lose weight, while not feeling like I'm starving. Usually I eat 3 meals of around 400 calories each, and that leaves room for a snack or two. Apples, almonds, and popcorn are the snacks I fall back on the most. If you're hungry all…

Yes, I still eat junk food. Easter was the first holiday for me since I started. I couldn't do my normal workout, and I ate a lot of candy! But I did extra workouts for two days that week. So for two days I ate too much, and for two days I worked out more calories than I ate. It all evened out in the end. People will say…

I'm about to start running again, I usually start up again every spring when skiing is done. I live about a block from a beautiful cemetary with hills and ponds, ducks and geese, and the sound of the spring peepers right now makes me smile. So it's a very pleasant atmosphere, I go in the evenings when most people are…

Congrats!:smile:

I've been at it for 9 weeks now and it's amazing that the Zumba classes I thought were going to kill me are now like - oh is it over - I barely broke a sweat. Core stuff is still hard though, but Sunday I did my first plank hold, then lowered to the ground in control without dropping to my knees or belly first. Didn't even…

This is the first thing that I think has worked for me, it's made me change the way I think about what I eat and how I exercise. I used to think that when you were on a "diet" you ate less and exercised more. MFP has made me realize that I eat X amount of calories on a day without exercise. Then on days I exercise, I need…

depends on the day. pizza, burritos, every year on my birthday I buy myself a box of cheez-its. greasy cheeseburgers
