my bf, quantumpion, and JustACaJen. both incredibly supportive!

definitely agree with checking out your local library, they are a great resource for free stuff :) also, someone mentioned tricep dips, which I will sometimes do at home. just need a coffee table or chair to brace on, great workout while you're busy watching the commercials!

Just tried Chobani myself and liked it. How do you make Greek yogurt? and I've never even heard of a yogurt maker lol. Does that just help you mix everything up?

I was just thinking of posting something similar- I've got my calories in check, now have to start targeting specific areas. I will be trying out those Russian twists! they look they could hurt ;)

congratulations!! it's definitely the little victories that help the most!

you look great! love your little tattoo there :D

tortillas and french vanilla cappuccino- yikes!!

Hey would love to add you :) I will send you a request. -Heather

I agree that the scale is not the most important gauge of your progress; that said, my bf just got a new scale after having frustrating results that didn't make any sense week after week given his diet and exercise, and just like that, he's been progressively losing weight. If you are going to use the scale, make sure…

I'm not on a vegan diet, but wanted to share that I have lost 7 pounds in the past month and all I did was join this website and start calorie-counting. Once I was forced to see how many calories are really in some foods, that was all it took to stop eating as much. I refuse to give up foods- carbs, chocolate- I still have…

agree also!! you look awesome, you should show it off!!

:smile: I see what you did there.

LOL love those!

My bf and I were just watching Casino Royale :) I was definitely commenting on the shirtless scenes ;) my vain goal is to do a hot photo shoot (pinup or lingerie) and I want to be able to see each one of my abs! Also, I'd like to be a single size, even just for a little bit. Since I finished growing I have always been a…

good point, I have been thinking about that myself. My goal cal is 1470 for a pound a week, but a range does allow for a healthier frame of mind; i.e., not getting anxious or worrying bc you might go over with this one piece of food.

you look fantastic! love the dress and pumps :D

I would say average female intake- 2300-2500 cals? something like that. Although my bf [used to] eat out a lot with me-we've been going out for a year now so I guess it was a lot of that "I'll impress you by taking you out" dinner hahaha. like, every single weekend. every dinner. oh, and at places like The Cheesecake…

WOW you look fantastic!!! love that blue top too :) Congrats on getting involved in people's lives- that is such a great thing to do for those that need your help :D

feel free to add me if you want. I'm not much for recipes, trying to work on that myself, but I am on and logging daily and I will definitely comment on your status for support! :) -Heather

that's such an awesome idea. might have to steal it ;)

I just wanted to chime in as far as your son is concerned. I'm 29 now (oldest), my parents split when my sisters and I were 12, 11, 9. I can say that I have a happy divorce story, if there are those. I've never seen them fight, they kept their business to themselves and were responsible adults about it who let us have the…

you look in the mirror and realize how much nicer your Victoria's Secret panties look with your new butt :)

well MFP, I hope you're happy- when I was adding to this thread I realized that I hadn't done my morning calistenics. Against my "ugh, gross" reflex, I laid down on my lab floor to do 100 crunches and 50 pushups (as fast as possible lol). Not a moment too soon, since literally the second I stood up, my co-worker walked in.

haha- love that last one. I have to tell myself that when I start looking at every day's results individually, instead of a few days of results overall.

Had my vegetables last night with dinner, though forgot the calistenics, boo! I did them yesterday morning and will be doing them as soon as I log off :) I also switched to 100 crunches instead of 50. water intake is great.

fantastic pics!! awesome job!!

I can definitely see Christina Hendricks as well! YOU LOOK AWESOME!!! so inspired by your pics! :)

I've also done spinning, and that sounds completely ridiculous. Spinning's one of the best workouts I've gotten doing one activity, and I love an intense workout. stay with it!!!! Maybe they were trying to hook people in by negating to say that it will act to build leg muscle, therefore resulting in your numbers not being…

QUESTION: will we be posting on this same post for our progress/updates throughout the month?
