What I Ate Yesterday (The Day I Started My Period and Went For Drinks With a Friend): Light, calorie conscious breakfast Light, calorie conscious lunch 3 double whisky and ginger ales A hand-sized chocolate-peanut-butter brownie my friend brought me A bag of kettle chips A…

@erebar @curves2j Thanks guys :) I sort of feel silly (I mean, I've had "maybe I'm pregnant" moments before, but still). I was describing to my friend over drinks last night how I felt for a whole week like I had this little bed inside me and was excited that there might be someone sleeping in it - come to find it's an…

I've just gotta vent somewhere that's not on my very family-oriented social media... I absolutely thought I was pregnant this week, and the test came out negative, and I am sort of crushed and heartbroken. My husband and I weren't trying, but I was late and had a REALLY good gut feeling about it... Man, I've never been so…

Don't get too discouraged! (I know that's like, IMPOSSIBLE; gaining is SUCH a bummer!!) -- Look how much you've lost ALREADY!! You're just twenty-some pounds away from being in the 100's; you've come a REALLY long way!! And hey - medication has A LOT to do with the dynamics of how your body handles liquids and energies; a…

Ew, what? Oh god... Accumulatively I have to do WHAT NOW?! 40 burpees 180 jumping jacks (!!!!?) 65 push ups (?!??!??!^)^()#@!??!) 20 squats 1 min. wall sit What is this. I hope you know I'm doing girl push ups until I can do regulars... ... thought we were FRIENDS, Chandal... :D

HOLY CANOLI, Chandal!! 80+ lbs is SUCH a big deal!! That's like, a small person! You've lost a midget!! You've lost a heavy dog! You've lost a whole, taking up space, alive thing! That is such a giant accomplishment - what an inspiration!!

I can't screenshot; no smartphone! :( Favorite workout song though? Hands down it's RuPaul's "Jealous of my Boogie." Goddamn if that song wont get you up and moving and feeling super-fabulous. Catwalk stomp all the way through your workout routine! :smiley: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pGpYou-RuPI

Maybe it's a good idea to eat a metric crapton of vegetables and such before attending any dinner? Show up not starving! Mercifully for me, I'm spending Thanksgiving with just my husband, so we'll make all of our own food. Which means I'm making the 110% healthy version of everything! :smiley: Goddamn I'm gonna miss mashed…
-
@curves2j lol GOOD idea to bring snacks! I'm glad the movies worked, it sure wouldn't for me! Candy I can turn down if need be, but this lady loves her popcorn! (Besides: The one we frequent serves KETTLE CORN at no extra cost!!! I'd powerless to turn... it... down!!) Keep going, Madam Willpower!
-
Heck YES!! Look at you GO; keep it up!! What the cuss is your secret?! Are you eating CLOUDS?! No failure, indeed; we're all rooting for you, Chandal!! <3

Starting Weight: 206 Week 1: 204.9 (-1.1 lb) Week 2: 202.5 (-2.4 lb) Week 3: 200.1 (-2.4 lb) Total challenge loss: 5.9 lbs! Super excited! The scale dipped below 200 this week (!!!!), but it evened out come Sunday. I'm still running 3 times a week (thank goodness that turned into a habit!) and only fell a bit behind…

My newest came-across-and-loved-it recipe is Butternut Squash Casserole! My own substitutions: * Sub butter for Olive Oil * Sub cream of chicken soup with a can of garbanzo beans, a handful of frozen vegetables, some yogurt, some chicken broth, and some water, all blended to make my own "creamed soup" (When you use it in a…

Yummy!! Thank goodness alfredo sauce tastes good on anything; 141 calories is a number I can get behind! :smiley:

Starting Weight: 206 Goal Weight: 186 Today's Weight: 202 In 2 weeks I've lost 4 pounds, ha-cha-chaa!! It IS fluctuating between 202 and 200, so I think this is water noise. DRINK MORE WATER!

Hi everybody; I'm Sarah! I'm 26 and married; I've used MFP before (with some success), but I kind of ate myself comfortable and want to lose that extra comfy couple dozen pounds. The last time I lost a lot of weight (+50lbs), I lost it in a matter of months by basically not eating from stress. It still takes a lot to…
-
Scale's moving slow, but IT'S HAPPENING! I can feel it! :smiley: I'm teetering between 200-202lbs, which is EXCELLENT from where I started at 206 just twelve days ago! Go me! Except maaaan, my boss bought us all a pizza today, and I think you guys have some idea what rough effort it took to just eat a single slice! I'm…

I've been making mainly oatmeal myself! I'll put oats in the fridge with some milk and anything I have on hand so that they've absorbed everything by morning. One of my favorite things to add in is homemade pumpkin puree! I was amazed to learn how easy it is to steam and blend a pumpkin, and now I have it to throw into…

Ugh, I'm so disheartened!! I walked/jogged the treadmill for 30 minutes on Monday, and I really, really, REALLY hurt in my chest by the end of it (we're talking curled up in the fetal position heaving for a half hour post workout). Stabbing, icy pain with gasping, coughing, can't breathe pain! What a nightmare! And it hurt…

Don't despair!! Everyone's bodies are wired a little differently - remember, you're exercising and gaining muscle mass WHILE you're shedding weight! It's thermodynamics, trustworthy as gravity: calories in, calories out. It's not uncommon AT ALL for your body to fluctuate in weight while its figuring out what you're doing…
-
Man, I needed to hear that! I just started jogging today, and WOOF. Are you supposed to get an ice cold stitch in your chest from running indoors?! How miserable! I'm counting on you being right, because I think I could really come to love running (given the time for my lungs to catch up)! Thanks!

I've been rocking out this overnight oats recipe this week - I'm not giant on breakfast (I'm giant on SLEEP), so I've been whipping up a 5-minute breakfast the night before and stowing it in the fridge for the morning. If you love chocolate and you've got 5 minutes before bed, this 2-serving batch of Brownie Batter…

Oh my gosh, what a great idea this is -- I'm IN! Hi guys! My name is Sarah; I'll be 27 in December. I just got married a month ago to the most darling man on the planet; it was a beautiful wedding (photo attached!), I just wish I could get past how beautifully chubby I look in my beautiful photos... My gown was custom…

Oh how nice!! I really appreciate how it gives you some little encouraging "here's how to dress" boosts at the bottom! Neat!
