  • xiamjackie- I just looked up C4, and though I'm sure it's great for some, I'll probably stay away from supplements that have an abundance of caffeine or other stimulants, due to dietary preferences. Thank you for the heads up! Green tea is right up my alley though, I'll have to add that in!
  • Awesome! Thank you all for the advice and encouragement! I'll definitely try some of those out- I've never had C4 before, but it sounds like it's a popular go-to. And bananas are always a favorite...
  • Just under 5'2", I've lost 23 lbs as of today and would love to drop another 16 or so. I have to say, the big game changer for me was to be ok with losing it slow! It took me about 7 months to lose 20, and I maintained for about another 6 months or so. I'm now revving up for round 2! I have yo yo dieted for a super long…
  • To to OP: Good for you for standing up for yourself in such a graceful way! That is certainly a difficult situation, and it sounds like you handled it beautifully. Enjoy those jeans! To HarrietSabre: Placing the blame on a consumer who reports inappropriate staff behavior to a manager is to misplace responsibility. It's…
  • Love this! I once had a psych professor in college who was asked by one of the students, "If you talk to yourself, does it mean you're crazy?" He replied, "Nope" The student said, "Then I guess it's only if you find yourself talking back..." He replied, "No, that's normal too! It's when you ask, 'Who said that?' that's…
  • It seems to me that you're not missing too much of anything! I was diagnosed with insulin resistance around 10 years ago, and it was a struggle for a while to adjust my eating habits. It seems that you've got the gist of it- eating regularly, high protein- I would suggest being sure that the majority of the carbs you take…
  • Once and a while I get Hayden Panettiere, more so in the summer when my blonde hair comes out... I think it's the smile mostly :)

  • I'm planning on starting today!! Planning on officially starting week 1 on Sunday, since my friend and I are doing it together and that's what we agreed on, but I'll be doing week 1 during this week too, just to get moving!
  • Congratulations, you look amazing!!
  • I have to say, I think the op was a bit misunderstood here. It seems as though she was saying that, for those who enjoy eating things such as pasta, pizza, etc., the idea that "diet"=deprivation is intimidating. I don't believe this post was intended for those who try to eat clean, but for those who want to lose weight but…
  • Try this tea: http://www.teavana.com/the-teas/mate-teas/p/mat-vana-herbal-tea It's sweetened with cocoa, chocolate chips, almond bits and enhanced with hazelnut... soo yummy! You don't even need the sugar! (Or will learn not to need it!). Teavana is expensive, but their teas are high quality, and with flavors that really…

  • I usually hit around 1200, sometimes more and sometimes less! Here is a typical day for me: Breakfast: Chobani Greek Yogurt (I like to switch up the flavors each day so I don't get bored with it!), sometimes with a little granola sprinkled on top Mid-morning Snack: Almonds Lunch: Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge, 1 portion whole…
  • I'm excited to get to that point! I've lost 18 lbs. and haven't had any "Hey, have you lost weight?" moments yet, but I'm hoping that will come as I continue to lose! I'm halfway to my goal, so hopefully it's right around the bend. :)
  • No problem! Good luck! :)
  • My go-to easy chicken recipe is to saute 1/2 inch chunks of chicken with garlic, chopped onions, pepper, salt and lemon juice over a little olive oil, then add to a bowl of brown rice and mix it up. I've never attempted to made a ton for the week, and don't know if the leftovers would be great after more than a couple days…

  • And thank you for all of the encouraging words everyone! :)
  • Yes! It may be small, but this post was my celebration! Feeling like I actually have something to celebrate is fantastic. Taking the time to recognize my small success and getting excited for the next one is truly rewarding for me.... although, maybe I'll go ahead and buy a new pair of shoes when I hit 15! ;)
