Except for the fact that most reduced/fat-free versions of anything have more sugar and artificial sweetener than their less processed and more "original" form counter parts.

Getting low on groceries that I feel make meal time "convenient" and healthy. Then I start reaching for the oatmeal creme pies and cookies and chicken nuggets and in proportions that blow my calories out the roof. OP: I agree its hard when I don't preplan meals. Today has been my restart and I planned my meals yesterday…

Its the slice as it comes out of the package.

Welcome back! I'm rebooting my game today as well :) I totally understand the struggle as a mom finding the balance and time to get a workout in and make sure what goes in your mouth is healthy and not just convenient! Good luck to you mama :)

I'm just shy of 5'2. I have 4 kiddos 6, 4, 3, and 19 months. I lost 70lbs after I had my second, but between life and 2 more babies I'm up to 230 and sitting stagnant. I've been cutting calories for over a month now and keep toggling weight, so I've dropped my calories down and I'm really focusing efforts on exercising…

I'm here!!!!! Finally! February was horrible for me as ya'll know. The clouds have finally cleared and I'm ready and motivated to get back on track. My goals for March: Maintain my calories Track all of my food Exercise with the kids at least 2 times a week. Strive to exercise for at least 15 minutes everyday. Water,…

Hi ladies... Thought I'd check on ya'll. The Internet connection here isn't too great so I don't get on much. I'm trying to log as best I can, but its kind of hit or miss. To fill you all in, my mother in law went off her rocker and threatened to do something to my husband. We left and she will never be seeing me or the…

2/8- 3

I'm starting my morning right. Smoothie for breakfast, fully loaded. Yesterday was horrible, but it's done and its over with and today is a brand new day. I'm so ready to get our taxes filed so I can get some proper shoes and workout equipment.

Well I know sometimes if the A/C is really kicking inside I won't sweat as much as if I were outside. If you don't have a heart rate monitor, you can do a pulse check before your work out and right after you get done to give you an idea of how elevated your heart rate is getting. I usually gauge things by how I feel. If…

WTG!!!

A loss is a loss is a loss :)

DH is off today. My day has already started crummy. He was supposed to get up and take my MIL to work so we could have her van for the day (he had to turn our van into a work van.) He didn't. He also has to drive all the way to work this morning to drop off paper work. So half the morning lost with his family. It sounds…

2/7: 6

I have it. A nice little skin flap that hangs down. When I lose weight it shrinks quite a bit. I know it will probably never be perfect (without surgery.) For now my focus is to lose all my excess weight ( and tone as much as possible) If its so bad it bothers me at my goal weight, then I'll look into surgical options to…

Oh and I did my mile!

Besides being sleepy and cranky, I'm doing well. Trying to finish my second mug of water so I can start a third and actually get more than 64 oz today. I'm letting myself snack when I want to as long as I log it. I'm actually still under by almost 1000 calories for the day, so I'm happy. After doing all the many…

I'm really glad everyone is gaining support and motivation through this group :) We have "school crud" going around here and its been cycling for 2 weeks. We're all hitting the second round. I'm still commited to getting at least one exercise video done, whether its walking or yoga today. I got very little sleep last…

2/6- 4

I've just been getting bored with my routine and feeling so limited with my exercise. I'm trying to get myself to really understand I should do this slowly and not expect overnight miracles. Today I started Walk Away the Pounds and I think it will be a great stepping stone to get me on my way.

You asked what a troll was. So did a few other people. I posted the most descriptive definition I could find. I still say if you legitimately want help, you will take heed of the advice people have given you here to see someone about your 3 day binges before you start worrying about your weight.

Sounds awesome! Prizes tend to be a big motivator for people (myself included!)

No problem! I'm also discovering that seasonings help me cut down on my butter/oil usage.

7 pts for your water 7 pts for fruits/veg 7 pts for logging 3 pts for weight And you could have up to 12 pts per day depending on how much you exercised (1 pt per 10 minutes) We are counting them daily :)

Thought it might help :P

If she was legitimate, she wouldn't be sloughing off genuine advice about her blatant alcoholism and LOLing about it.

Thanks <3!

2/5- 6 pts.

WTG! Make sure you add 2 points to your total for yesterday for your weigh in!

Well then up the ante ;) If you make your original goal you are set for February and have accomplished :) If you meet your secondary goal, you should give yourself a present!
