Adding you!! :)

I made this last night and it was phenomenal: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/shepherds-pie-vi/ (added 1/4 cup of Worcestershire to the meat when cooking).

Being able to fit into jeans that I haven't been able to wear for the past five years - despite being plateaued in my weight loss!

I go for Kathy's Krackers flax seed crackers - they have a great crunch!

Welcome! Feel free to add me as well! I love new friends! :)

I quit a few years ago after smoking for almost 20 years. I quit cold turkey at first but had to start using nicotine lozenges to curb cravings during high stress or social situations. Quitting was honestly the best decision I have ever made (outside of marrying my hubby!) because I can now run, hike, bike ride – all…

Totally agree! Logging is so incredibly important. It's really easy to lose track of what you eat, to minimalize what you are actually ingesting - but when it's on paper you are totally aware. I'd check your calories - you may be eating to few. I know that's a weird concept - I struggle with accepting it too.

I love 30DS - I'm on day 11 today and have been doing level 2 for the past two days. I definitely see and feel a difference already! The workout is intense - I think I sweat more in those 20 minutes than I have over the past 5 years combined! Yes, my ankles are a little sore but it might just be because I haven't been…

I love Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It's only 20 minutes but kicks your butt! I'm 9 days in and can already see results. You can see how it's worked for a number of people by searching the forums for "30DS Results" or "30 Day Shred Results" - there are a number of before and after pictures.

Hey! I'm Michele - feel free to add me! :)

Try to eat more protein - you will much fuller for much longer than eating veggies.

I've lost 24 pounds and the only people that have mentioned it are my Mom and my husband. I feel so much better than I did though - and that's it's own reward! :)

Feel free to add me! :)

Wow - very impressive! You look really great!

Awesome!! I broke mine this week too - I increased calories and protein this week :) Great job! :)

Hey! I'm Michele and I'm adding you!

Feel free to add me! :)

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! You look great! :) Keep it up!

Hey there! Feel free to add me! I'm Michele!

Hi! I'm Michele - Feel free to add me! :)

Hi! I'm Michele - we're close to the same age and have about the same amount to lose! Feel free to add me!

Welcome! Feel free to add me! We have about the same amount to lose!

Hey girlie! Feel free to add me! :)

Yes! Love hiking! I try to hike every day at lunch - it's the only way I stay sane at my job! :)

Wow - very inspiring! Great job! :)

Feel free to add me too! :)

I have the same thing - For the past 9 months I have been hiking 4-5 days a week for 80 minutes, plus doing something active at least one day on the weekends and am at a standstill. I guess I'm not eating enough but it's really frustrating - I'd hate to think I need this much exercise just to maintain where I am at!

Hey girlie! I always wear yoga pants to work out in - unless I'm running and then I wear capris (like these: http://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Womens-Thermopolislt-Running-Capri/dp/B003EEN95M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331229322&sr=8-2) because the legs of yoga pants can get caught in the bike chain. For running shoes I highly…

My parents are Italian and Irish and I’ve been “blessed” with the same “birthing hips”. The first time someone told me that I almost punched them! :)

Vitamix for sure! It's a little pricey but it's amazing and you won't regret it! :)
