I agree with the above poster. I saw a big difference in my love handles and stomach when I started jogging.

Hi everyone. Just weighing in. Nov 1 - 199.2 SW Nov 22 - 194.8 CW Had a really good week and got my mo-jo back :happy: So I'm down 4.4 for the month. Going to do my best to get thru this Thanksgiving weekend and still make the 5 lb challenge. I'll have to have my 3 little nieces to keep me busy playing, do crafts, dancing,…

I bought an elliptical about 4 years ago and the first few weeks my feet would go numb and tingle. Someone told me to loosen my shoe laces which I did and have had no problem since then. Crazy huh?

I don't have a cheat meal but if I could have "dream meal" it would be a chicken chimichanga, mexican rice along with all the chips and queso I could eat at Burro Loco Mexican Restaurant. I could eat mexican 3 days a week. Actually, I used to which is why I'm now a member of MFP. :laugh:

I wouldn't worry about 1 day of not eating your recommended calories but personally, I would have to eat a small snack before I workout if it had been that long since I'd eaten. I get a kinda sick feeling about 20 minutes into my workout if it's been several hours since I've eaten. I'd have a half of a banana or 1/4 of an…

Good for you. I'd say this was more than a tiny success. :flowerforyou: Yes, you can do it!!

Hooray!!! :bigsmile: You will love it. I have a Proform elliptical and love it. Great Christmas present. ENJOY.

My sister's homemade Macaroni n' Cheese. It is so creamy, cheesy and delish! And deviled eggs and dressing.

Pork tenderloin is in the crockpot. Will bake some zuchini & squash and whole wheat mac n' cheese to go with it. Yummy :smile:

Here's my results. Sorry, didn't keep track of which commercial break I did what. Arm curls w. 8 lb weight - 20 rep each arm Arm raises above head (not sure what they are called) 5lb weights - 20 reps Arm raises out to the side, 5 lb weights - 20 reps Jumping jacks - 50 Crunches - 50 Oblique crunches - 50 each side Push…

:happy: Great idea! I'm in. I'll post again after the show. Have fun everyone.

4 Minutes - Madonna and Justin Timberlake Tik Tok - Ke$ha I Like It - Enrique Iglesias Super Massive Black Hole - Muse Dynamite - Tio Cruz :smile:

Great job! You look so happy in the recent picture. :flowerforyou: You should be very proud of yourself.

Wendy's small chili. Only .99 and 220 calories. Add some yogurt or fruit for dessert.

That's why I don't post a lot of topics on here. I find what I need by searching past topics 99% of the time. Just today, I've searched "knee pain", "chicken recipes" and "exercise calories".

Both my treamill and elliptical would say "I'm so glad you are using me again. Everytime you came in the room I would get my hopes up that you were coming to visit but no, you were just looking for something in the closet. I was feeling so lonely and worthless so thanks for bringing some activity back into my life." :happy:

I am so glad you posted this. I get so tired of my family and friends saying "we can go to such and such restaurant cause they have salads". Some salads at these restaurants have 800 calories!!!!! Just because it is a salad or has salad in the name, doesn't mean it's healthy.

I don't care for salads either, especially as a meal. Mainly because I don't lite or vingerette type salad dressings. And I absolutely hate fast food salads! Taste too much like perservatives. So I eat my veggies steamed, roasted or grilled. Yummy, green beans, brocolli, califlower, zuchinni, squash, carrots, red…

Mine is Orville Reddenbacher's Natural Simply Salted popcorn. I just can't give it up and I'm not settling for the 100 calorie-cardboard-dry tasting kind.

Just checking in: Nov 1 - 199.2 SW Nov 15 - 197.0 CW = 2.2 lbs loss This has turned into a slooooww month and I'm not even to Thanksgiving yet. :grumble: But I'm going to keep on keeping on and do my very best to lose 3 lbs before 12/1. Seems these past 2 weeks have been such a struggle for me. It's like I can't get my…

I eat at Outback a couple times a month. Love it. According to their nutritional info, Pork Tenderloin is only 386 cals, Outback Special 6 oz. w/out butter is 230 cals and chicken on the barbie w/out butter is 415 cals. I either get fresh steamed green beans or mixed veggies w/out butter. Both are around 50 calories. So I…

I had a small chili from Wendy's and 1/2 banana for 270 calories. Love Wendy's chili. :heart:

Cranberry Almond Southbeach Protein Bar - 140 calories. I'll have a 1/2 of a banana around 10:30 to tide me over until lunch.

Great plan. That's what I do. My goal is "the next 10lbs" because looking at the big picture is too overwhelming. It discourages me. But I know I can loose 10 lbs so that's my focus. Keep reminding yourself that this is a marathon not a sprint. The weight did go on overnight so you're not going to miraculousy be 30 lbs…

Elliptical for 30 minutes, Turbo Jam 20-minute workout then 10 minutes of ab work and stretching.

Great post. Your happiness and enthusiasm is jumping off the page! Thanks for the encouragement. :flowerforyou:

Orville Redenbacher Simply Natural popcorn. I eat the whole bag and even though I still stay within my daily calories, I know I'd do better without those 300 calories. I just can't give it up yet. :sad:
