^ where did you 'learn' that the ideal eating routine for you is this?

ABSOLUTELY this is a nsV - with the emphasis on VICTORY!! good for you for showing determination ~ and sending you a gentle hug today and hoping you're not hurting too much.

as far as i'm concerned, there are NO tiny nsv's ~ woohoo and good for you!! these are just little ways in which we are reminded what we're doing ~ we're making changes for the better ~ AND in your case: it's WORKING!! good for you - and keep up the great work!! :flowerforyou:

<i have put one as my profile picture, because when i try to use photobucket, my pictures are so large they are obnoxious - LOL. and mine is definitely a "during" photo, but i did a side by side when i realized i had 2 pics in the same shirt and i could see the difference in my body for the first time.

ps: is there any way to post a picture that is NOT through photobucket?? LOL - i am so technologically challenged!

thanks, everyone! ;) i feel like i'm finally on the right track, for sure! :)

that is AWESOME!! way to go!!

oh absolutely - i did the cool down - just thought it was humorous. ;)

^^ this ^^ i agree that sometimes it takes me awhile to figure some measurements out, but i figure mfp is a *free* site - and the logging i've done since joining has made all the difference in my weight loss goals - so i deal with it - BUT the pasta thing is one i have to look up EVERY SINGLE TIME - haha

^^ this ^^ and i am going to try this soon! ;) thanks for posting!!

thanks for the tips as to where to look for yoga online! ;) i will check them out tomorrow, since it's my day 'off' our cable company recently stopped providing its "on demand" exercise channel - so bummed! :(

i WANT to do yoga, but our budget is so tight it squeaks. i have yet to find a good online source of instructional videos - do you know of one?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ~ i'm a grad student and haven't been able to squeeze in any "pleasure reading" in the past month!! haha. several of my friends have read and/or are reading these books - and they are on my summer MUST READ list!! can't wait!!

i wish there were some more interesting ones on here - like a thumbs up guy - or a smack your head against a wall guy - haha - i think the only one i've used is the flowerforyou cutie. oh - a cheerleader one would be great too!!

this same thing has been happening to me for about a year now - i can eat them *sometimes* and get away with it, but most of the time, big tummy troubles!! i never had an allergy growing up - very strange, isn't it?

. . . going back to bed . . . IMMEDIATELY . . . i will not pass go . . . i will not collect $200.00 . . . but perhaps i will wake up not so cranky!! LOL

haha ~ thanks for letting me know it's not just me!! LOL - this is some 'junk' i can afford to lose, for sure!! ;) ps: eemielwy: NSV is a non-scale victory ~ something that lets you know that you're on the right track, even when the scale may not be saying so! ;)

amazing - and super inspirational!! way to go - and keep up the great work!! ;)

thanks to a friends status on fb this morning: "i want it that way" by the backstreet boys. just shoot me. haha

i've never seen anything that says so . . . but i will admit that i've wondered the same exact thing because i seem to eat the same thing most days - it's very rare that i have to figure something new out on here. boring, but steady - and i stay under my calorie goal and like what i'm eating, so that's what matters, right?…

i do this FREQUENTLY!! lol - especially if i know i'll be going out to eat that day - or if i'm trying something new that i need to reconfigure or "work around" a new set of calories/fat, etc. if i know i'm going to be eating pizza at dinner time because we'll be at a bday party or something, i know i have to have…

way to go!! keep up the great work!!

love it! way to go!! i have a pair of fave "pre-baby" jeans in my closet that i'm determined to get back into, also!! (PS: my "babies are now teens - LOL) keep up the great work!! :)

firstly, you are NOT ignorant ~ i don't even KNOW what a fitbit IS!! <3 good luck figuring it out!! ;)

EXCELLENT ~ and WAY TO GO!! i have some "pre-baby" jeans that i dream of getting back into one day (PS: my "babies" are now teens - lmao) - i think i can i think i can i think i can - ;) keep up the great work - and congrats!!

way to go!! you look great - and i'm betting you feel better, too!! oh yeah, and PS: love love love LOVE your hair!! soooo cute!! :) keep up the great work!

wow! way to go - that's the kind of motivation i need - will look you up on facebook! ;) thanks for posting!

ummmmm - that's NOT silly at all - it's ahhhhh-mazing!! woohoo for you!! :) and keep up the great work!!

i log every dirty little cheat - hahaha. okay, so that sounded bad but, yes, i log everything i eat or drink - even on my 'cheat' days when i go waaaaaaay over on every chart imaginable! haha. i figure if i stay honest, even on my fun cheaty days, then i'll be more apt to stick to it on my 'behave healthy' days. the only…
