OMG Avocado fries?! I need a recipe for this, it sounds awesome!

She said cut DOWN not out. Look at your plate in sections OP. You have your main protein and 2 sides and normally one of those sides would be pasta or potatoes right? So take that side out and add an extra veggie. Or just double portion your 1 side. Stir fry is a great suggestion as well! Mashed Cauliflower is just as…

Debbie: Pam makes an olive oil cooking spray

Debi- Don't forget, with you doing something like the 30 day shred, you are building muscle! If I were in your shoes, I would stay away from the scale and just focus on the visual/physical results. You might find yourself sitting at 117 or even 120lbs, but toned!

I'm battling a massive headache right now...I'm not sure why, but blaaaaah. Gonna try to eat something and see if it helps.

You would get 3 points for weight-in plus whatever you earn for today. :) WTG by the way!!

Ok I'm adding a mini goal for myself. I want to try and add least 1 extra cup of water into my day. So I'm shooting for 9 cups of water. There was something else, but now I can't remember it, so if I do I'll come back and post it. ETA: I remembered literally right after I posted LOL I'm going to try and plan for my…

2/5- 221.4 down 1.2 lbs

Drink lots of water and avoid added salt. I also agree about trying to eat the calories to maintain your goal weight. 1200 calories is hard to maintain for a lot of people I think (not everyone...) For exercise, turn on some music in your room and dance around or try getting a few exercise dvds at the library or looking…

WTG!!! I'm so happy for you. Your weight loss will taper off, but I find I feel really motivated as long as the scale goes down. Even just a few tenths of a point. My weight this morning was 221.4 down from 222.6 last Sunday. That's 1.2 lb loss. I'll take it.

Way to go Sherri!! I think you are doing fantastic :) Its hard getting my 8 water in a day. So I cheat and half of my water is flavored (crystal light or the diet ocean spray packets.) I only use one packet (the amount for one 16 oz bottle of water) for my 32 oz water mug. It flavors it just enough to keep me from getting…

Honestly, I check the website for nutritional info ahead of time. Last night, for instance, I had Denny's Fit Fare Omelette Meal. Egg white omelette filled with spinach, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese, two strips of turkey bacon, and a nice seasonal fruit cup (mine was cantaloupe, grapes, and…

Haha I know right! We'll see in the morning :) Burned some calories. Borrowed MIL basic HRM watch and I'm just not sure how accurate it is. It had me in the 90s as I'm totally panting and sweating buckets. Whatev! DH is on his way home and we're going out to eat at Denny's so I preplanned my order and added it to my meals…

Total for today: 7

Way to go ladies :) I only had 3 for the day because I didn't even attempt exercise yesterday. Today is my day though. I will get exercise today.

He sounds awesome Sherri! I hope feel better too. It seems we're all coming down with something or another. Tis the season I suppose!

Did you happen to find out (if you've been to that dr. before) what your previous weight there was?? That would give you a clearer picture of weight loss. other than that, I agree that it was just a difference .in scales

I'm 5'2. Currently 221 lbs and a size 18. My goal is a size 12 (10 is the smallest I think I'll like) and TONED. Whatever the weight is doesn't really matter to me, though I picture its somewhere around 140.

How's everyone doing? I'm a little sleepy today. Have had my fruits and veggies today :) Drinking my water as best I can with my throat.

WTG Amber! As for tracking, we all have those days :) That's why I was so happy to find the app for my phone. It makes it so much easier and I don't feel tied to the house to log my food LOL

Popping in for suggestions.I had an ACL replacement years ago and it still gives me grief and now my left knee seems to be following from trying to compensate for the right one.

Ugh I hate when that happens! Just do your best to take things easy. Better to let it heal than to try and do too much and make it worse!

In the other thread is fine :) I just happened to have this one up when I posted mine. A little better today. My sore throat is up to my ears (happens everytime) but otherwise I'm pretty good. Might try some after I eat to see if it takes some of the pain/swelling down.

I finished the day strong. I knocked out the big mess that was my bedroom and managed 15 minutes of moderate work on my mini elliptical turned "stationary bike" Points for today: 8

Good job Tiffany :) I took a nice shower and a 10 minute rest on my bed while the girls napped and my youngest son played PBSkids on my laptop.

That's completely up to ya'll. I'm fine with either.

Posting to give you another boost :)

I'm looking into trying Beach Body products :) I'm a 25 year old stay at home mom of 4 (ages 8 months-5.5 yrs old.) My days are pretty structured around the house so I'm looking for something I can get results doing (toning and losing weight)at home when the kids are napping or in bed for the night. I have a friend who I…

You give me every hope that its possible for me to look healthy and sexy even after all the kids and stretch marks! Thank you for the inspiration!
