July 1, 2012 SW: 238 I did measurements too Goals for July 5 pound weight loss ideally I would like at least an 8 pound loss but with this injury and having to somewhat baby my leg still, setting that goal may push myself to the point of re-injuring it. And, on that note, I also would like to be able to walk without a limp…

I literally got the chills reading this: I'm at the point now where I'm walking over 2.5 miles, I'm exercising. I worked damn hard for those 48 lbs, and I'm thinking that 'fitting my fat *kitten* on an airplane' isn't where I want to end up. I'm thinking of a goal weight of 200. I'm thinking that getting out of obese is…

I am from Sunny Sacramento, California :) We have actually had a pretty mild summer here so far, but I am sure more 100 + days will be heading our way. I love the area because we are in the valley so we rarely get snow but drive an hour in the winter and we can have our share, we are also about an hour and a half from the…

I did some walking today and am going to do more later when it cools down some. As for tomorrow, I am trying to find a slow hiking partner who can put up with my limping, if not, I will swim and walk.

My hubby and I both drink maybe once a year a few years ago I had went about 4 years without a drink, not that I missed it. I used to drink a lot when I was in my twenties, I grew up and grew out of wanting to drink, I also do not want to set a bad example for my children.

fresh fruit greek yogurt chicken breast boiled eggs salad packs (hey, look, here's my dinner, or at least something to make my quick stuff healthier when I am starving) granola bars or protein bars I like most kinds but try to choose the ones with under 100 cal

Wooo Hooo I love a challenge, I am excited to start this one :)

I am glad that it worked out for you, it would have been worse if you had gotten up early got to the pool and then found out that you had to wait another hour :) Woo hoo, awesome way to keep working out while on vacation, you go girl!

I do like my life. Mine and my husband's relationship is awesome, I have a great relationship with all my kids except the currently ornery teenage daughter. We have a house to live in, clothes on our back, food to eat, a vehicle each, healthy kids, we don't have health problems it is pretty awesome :)

Kim yes I am repairing the lig naturally. I take vitamins, ibuprofen, ice it up and elevate it. What supplements do you know about, do tell :) Today I did calisthenics, aqua aerobics, weight machines and a small amount of leg work, don't want to push my leg too much. I don't plan much, my whole family is kind of a spur of…

Got the 15 pushups. Drank 8 glasses at least of water yesterday and on my way to 8 today. :)

Natural peanut butter tastes horrible and the texture is gross too in my opinion. I have tried several different "recommended by friends" kinds and uggh I would rather eat plain bread. Also soy milk yucky! I will stick with my fat free cows milk, I have tried almond milk and it is rather tasty, but it is also about…

I have not done measurements yet this week, I will do them by Saturday (last day of the month). We have been so busy my niece got married this weekend, we had relatives come in town from other states (some of which stayed at our house), additionally we had our friends of 20 years move back to the area and we have been…

I would like to participate too :) Name/ real name: i_am_losing_it / Donna Current Weight: 238 Challenge Goal Weight: 213 07/02: 07/09: 07/16: 07/23: 08/06: <<<mini goal weight>>> 08/13: 08/20: 08/27: 09/03: <<<mini goal weight>>> 09/10: 09/17: 09/24: 10/01: <<<challenge goal weight>>> 213

The prices are pretty accurate for where I live. The biggest cost for unhealthy food is the cost of what it does to your body, I don't think anyone can argue that the McDonald's food costs a lot more to your health than the other choices.

For starters :) I bought these shoes http://media.redcatsusa.com/is/image/avenue/mm/0324_72059_mm.jpg I plan on going to Calistoga hot springs for one reward And of course buying all new clothes that are not plus size, in other words "cute" clothes for a change :)

I am 46 years old and my name is Donna. I am married and have 5 children, ages 24, 21, 15, 6, and 3. I live in Sacramento, CA. I have lost 40 pounds and have about 80 more until I reach goal. I started trying to lose weight at the end of January. A month and a half ago I was walking 3 1/2 plus miles most days, doing aqua…

5 things I love about myself: 1) I love that my skin is tan-ish and I have rarely burned 2) I can always be counted on in an emergency 3) I can find joy and fun in almost any situation 4) I love that my body has always been curvy and equally proportionate 5) I stick to my values and don't judge other's if their values…

Then: a psychologist, a firefighter, a police officer, a marine biologist, and a mom (I always wanted that one the rest were phases) Now: a stay at home mom with 5 kids (the number I always wanted) when my 3 year old starts school I plan on being a mail lady

This thread got me in the mood for black beans. I used chopped boneless skinless chicken breast baked in salsa, microwaved the drained black beans, cooked brown rice, mixed it all together (including a few tblsp of the salsa), sprinkled with sharp cheddar popped in the microwave long enough to melt and then added fat free…

I do like the group thing better than the thread, but will do whatever majority or Kim decides. 5 things I love about myself: 1) I love that my skin is tan-ish and I have rarely burned 2) I can always be counted on in an emergency 3) I can find joy and fun in almost any situation 4) I love that my body has always been…

I read this and was quite disgusted, then I took a look at your picture, profile and goals. I think he was talking about something else, seriously there is no possible way he could have been referring to you. Perhaps they were discussing a prior event or conversation with someone. You are not in any way un-attractive, so…

Awesome recipes! I use them in place of other beans in recipes as well as make the quick black bean soup recipe from realage.com

I checked out your diary and it seems you track a few days and skip tracking a few days, I went several weeks back in your diary and it seems to be the case. On days you track sometimes you are way under and others at or above your calorie goal. If you are not tracking every day you could easily be going over on those…

I would like to join too. I will add more about me later. Oh my goodness that fridge looks awesome! Mine is a jumbled mess lol I have lost 40 pounds and have over 80 pounds more to go. I would like to lose 50 by the end of the year though on my journey to being fit. Hotness I can't even fathom I just don't feel like that…

woooo hoooo AWESOME NSV, not TMI for us, we can relate :)

I went through every page too. Great job ladies. I love seeing all of you having such confidence, it rocks. This was also very inspirational for me seeing all of the women who posted in bikinis with all of their "tiger striped" bellies makes me think I can eventually do that too. Thanks ladies :happy:

You look awesome! Congratulations!

Buy all new clothes. :)
