Thank you both. Truly appreciate you suggestions and support. Completely forgot about lentils. Can always pick up some soup too. Not much time to cook these days. Definitely checking out Skinnytaste too. Thanks again.

I'd go with laurielima. Try not to ask "why" - ask "what is getting in my way." This is not about blame. I happen to spend a great deal of time caring for others and am struggling to get time in for myself; it is not as easy as people think. I had been successful at losing weight in the past once I carved out that time.…

Thanks. Will try it. By the way, do you have suggestions for travel? We seem to be away from home more often than not which makes weighing and measuring more challenging. I'm already concerned about the cruddy food choices offered near my son's school this weekend. Perhaps that is the bigger issue...

I have been using it, but probably not as consistently as I should. It just seems to come off when I don't exercise. I have heard muscle holds water and I have always been kind of a sponge in the fluid retention department.

I think I opened my journal. It kind of varies, but I am generally under my goal. I do wonder if I have hit one of those dreaded plateaus. I had lost more weight and this may be where I was stuck before. I am definitely more toned and my clothes are looser.

True! And I'm almost getting the feeling back in my feet from my 10 mile walk...

Darn it…you guys are so reasonable! I opened my journal for now..please be kind! I don't think I am eating any worse than I was and I expected a loss. I think I exercised harder than fitbit gave me credit for. I do think fluid has something to do with it though. Wondering if your body ends up getting used to the exercise;…

Hope all your dinners were as delicious as they sounded! Ended up with grilled salmon, salad and baked yams. Have to get out of my comfort zone and try new things

Yum!!! Is there dressing on the kale salad? Happy birthday to your son!

Sounds great. How do you prepare the tofu?

Congratulations, you look incredible! Thanks so much for posting; you are an inspiration!

You take photos of your food so you remember exactly what you had when you log in later.

Doug, you are absolutely a standout! You look fantastic. If I were a 22 year old guy, I'd hit the weights in the gym. Be proud of yourself!

Sweetened lime juice? Sacrilege!:wink:

Hi Jessica, It sounds like your husband wants company. I do know the gym can be overwhelming..between the machines, the grunting and the spandex, it is not my favorite place either. Unfortunately, it can be a necessary evil and you can handle it a few ways. As others have suggested, you can have an employee show you the…

I think your should all cook for me; that would solve my problem!

Wow, you guys know how to enjoy this; good for you! Thanks for planning my next month:smile:

Saturday 12/23 699 - couch to 5k and walking fast pace

Hi! Just realized I haven't logged since Monday. Here goes: Tuesday 591 Wednesday 423 Thursday 658 Friday 700 Trainer wants me to take tomorrow off, but I'm feeling guilty if we get double! Maybe a small workout won't hurt ; )

How long did it take you? I don't want to completely humiliate myself, but i don't have much time.

I would really like to do it. I would like to participate in a 5k which is next month in Newtown Ct. I'm not supposed to run, but I figure I can put up with some pain; it will be nothing compared to what they have gone through.

I am interested! I am not ready for this, but am doing it any way. There is a 5K in Newtown Ct on January 19th that I would like to participate in. I am sure I won't be ready, but at least I can run part of it. Which program are you doing?
