I normally try and eat the "bad" stuff in moderation. I don't like to deny my body that type of things because I know it will backfire on me and I will end up eating WAY to much and throw me off. If your over compensate by doing more cardio maybe? Take a walk or something that will burn your calories off that way your not…

Welcome! I love this site. I have lost the most here in the last month or 2 than my entire life. I'm from CO too :)

I eat whatever I want to eat, I just do it in moderation. I don't eat a serving of ice cream every single night, or a burger from BK every day...just every once and a while. I am not denying myself the "goodies" I just don't eat it all the time. If I denied myself stuff like that I would fail and binge on it and lose ALL…

MFP is a great way to lose weight. I've tried many ways in the past and so far this is the most I have ever lost since starting to work out and eat right. Just stick to it. Follow the MFP recommendations and participate in the boards and you'll do great :)

wow! Good job you look great!

OMG! WOW! You look amazing. Congratulations!!

Thanks...I'm now checking out the shopping cart one at the bottom :)

I'm the same way. Hubbys friend told him the other day that I look like I'm losing weight and I look good. He told me and I was all "that's nice to hear " and he goes " I tell you you look good all the time" I was like "Yeah, but you said I looked good 10 pounds ago. You would love me if I was 20 pounds heavier. It's just…

If you read the comments this one person posted that back then they had hand held hearing aides.

What a great boss!! Welcome and good luck!

My aunt is having that issue. She was told that her side pain was all in her head. That she needed anti depressants and to lose weigh. She looked at the Dr and said they were nuts and demanded a different one right then and there. It's insane that Dr's of all people can not treat everyone the same and with the same ethics.

:) It is kind of nice that we can do things "together" because he works out when he gets off work, and that's the same time I wake up and work out. He has lost at least 20 pounds since he's left (but it's unbelievably HOT over there). I'm so nervous and still have a few months before R&R...I really hope I can lose 20 more…

WOOHOO!! I can't wait for that day! I have a pair (somewhere) that I would LOVE to get back into!

I officially weigh in once a week...same time, same day. But during the week I get curious and will weigh in just to see, but I don't count it. You can see your progress from that...if you lose your doing something right if your not..then you look back over the last week and find where you went wrong. Your body will…

I was hoping for it too....now BLT's sound yummy! I might have to make that for dinner one night :) mmmm....or maybe I'll just go fry a few pieces of bacon...lol.

So, this is easier than when I first tried this over a month ago. I haven't been doing it steadily until now...I'm pushing myself more...and wanting to kick Jillian's *kitten* by the end...but I feel so good. Muscles hurt, but I'm pushing through :) Burnt 277 calories doing it today :) Keep up the good work ladies!!!

Wow, that spread sheet must have taken FOREVER! Woke up today and did 30 day shred. Going to get in some regular cardio too. :) Working on the water...I'm seriously struggling with it. I'm going to put a glass in the kitchen and every time I go in there I'm going to fill it and drink it...that will be about the only way I…

Roasted garlic hummus and crackers...I bought the 100 calorie right bites...veggies (heard different things on the veggies...some say they are unlimited and you can eat as much as you want)...pop corn is a good snack!

LOL I hardly taste my food while cooking. Figure if they don't like it they can cook next time (and there's never a meal they don't like lol). I just cook, season, and serve. I could see how it could add up though...especially for a chef or something...wow.

I have one that does both. I never use the watch alone. You have to keep touching the watch through out the workout or whatever your doing. I just shut it off...like I'm going to remember to touch the watch while doing jumping jacks...lol. I spent like $60 something on mine at ****'s (ok so mine also had a military…

I get up and work out then eat. If I don't do it that way I won't work out. Plus, they do it in basic training, they get up and do PT and then eat and not many of them pass out from it. Plus what I do is like half the intensity of the army, but I also do the same workout there is and artical that says that people working…

I normally turn mine off when my heart rate is lower (like maybe 100). Even when it's coming back down, I'm burning the calories because of the workout...once it returns to normal(or close to) I shut mine off.

Women are not necessarily afraid of muscles...we just don't want the "body builder" type muscles. That is why we say "toned" because we can build muscle and still look "normal" and not like a body builder. Lower weights and more reps will give you lean muscles and tighten it all up :)

Start weight was 161 Current weight 157 Goal weight 131 -4pounds! I don't know how I did it, might be because I used 2 different scales...but I'm going to go off the one that I used today starting next Monday to weight in on here. My fitness challenge will be done on Wednesday and that's the scale I have been using and…

So I thought that today was Monday. I woke up, got my oldest up, dressed, fed, and ready for school. Went to get my youngest up and was like "wait a second..." looked at the phone and was like "****". Ugh. Today was a productive day though. Did 30 day shred at like 8am and cleaned my carpets the rest of the day. Was under…

Have not had that in a while. Hubby doesn't like it...that or bread pudding. Have a while before he comes home so I have plenty of time to make it. I'm going to have to look that recipe up.

I will do it since my other strength training dvd isn't working. Only problem is days 28 and probably 29 I will be on the road (making a 20 hour trip with 2 kids a dog and a cat..fun). We will see though. I might be able to do it in the hotel room before we head off for the day :)

Wow. I don't even know what mine says! I think I was pregnant when I had mine renewed and the lady was like "Just guess what you'd be if you weren't pregnant" lol. Just looked it says 175...I'm currently 159 WOOHOO!

I would love to but don't have anyone to watch my kids for me so I can run :( I'm limited in what I can do (mainly just the at home dvd workouts). I don't have one of those jogging strollers and they don't have bikes :( I would love to be able to run a marathon for wounded soldiers though. Good luck. I hope you get a lot…

Found it too. I was lazy and ate BK for dinner. So totally didn't feel like cooking at all. It was a lazy day but still managed to burn 400 calories. I really need to add some sort of strength training to my routine. I bed I would lose more if I did that. Water is my other thing...I hardly drink any during the day. I'm…
