Ali155

Go Cowboys!!!

Hi! My initial goal is 155. I was pretty happy around that weight in college. When I get there, I'll reevaluate and maybe take it down another 10lbs. I'm not a small frame girl, so mid to upper end if a weight range usually works. Good luck everyone! Feel free to add me. :)

As a rule, I try not to touch them. On the occasion that I do, it's typically a small percentage of them. Although if you're hungry you may need them.

For the love of G-d, pleeeeaaaase wear deodorant to the gym! I've been on the elliptical next to the person that hadn't yet discovered the stuff...not pleasant! I prefer to have a clean face at the gym because it just feels better, but if I go straight from work the makeup stays...at least until I sweat it off...lol. To…

Absolutely!

Hmmmm probably either: Da-da-da...you know the one from years ago that just said that over and over. or Mah Na Mah Na from The Muppets/Diet Cherry Vanilla Coke commercial. Both are a whole lot of nothing, but oddly likeable...(till it eventually gets annoying)...lol!

Tea Sugar-free energy soda Crystal light energy...although I wish it were made with splenda. :/

Popchips Brownie crisps

I briefly scanned the Amazon reviews...4.5 stars overall...not bad.

I received that Groupon email this morning and was wondering the same thing...will look for reviews. :)

Quinoa made into something breakfast-like could work.

Wow...I just saw on my home screen that you had posted this and hopped over to read. So ironic, because if I had about half an ounce less of will-power, after the frustrating, sad, sh!tty day that this has turned out to be, I would drag you out for a few sugar-free cocktails. Instead I've had 7 Hershey's kisses which I…

So true, and very well said. I'm pretty sure it never gets easier. Although, with time and continued success it should become more automatic. Cravings will always be there as will the inclination toward instant gratification. It's much easier for me to grab a handful of chocolate or a pint of ice cream than deal with the…

Feel free to add me. Good luck! :)

In thinner and off and on blonde-ish phases, I often heard Bridgette Wilson...I would guess because of facial expressions. When I was a kid it was Brooke Shields...the brunette/blue-eyed/eyebrow thing.

I will just order from Amazon next time I am ordering other things, so I'll get free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-Cocoa/dp/B005563WTU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345061955&sr=8-2&keywords=pb2+powdered+peanut+butter I haven't seen it in stores, but I may check Whole Foods, Central Market, Sprouts,…

I've been meaning to order PB2 from Amazon...will have to set a reminder. My fave brand is Jiff. I add 1 Tbsp to Herbalife shakes (1 scoop choco protein, 1 scoop dutch choco formula 1, ice and 1c. H2O) and it tastes really good. Otherwise, I will eat it on a banana, toast or english muffin, pb&j, on crackers, or on a…

Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza and water...about to make some tea. Quick "lunch". :)

Loved them! I read all three in about 5 days. I'm excited to see who they'll pick for the movie characters. There were quite a few annoyances re: the writing, but the story (yes, there was actually a storyline...lol) was gripping enough to hold my attention. ;)

Written communication...re-writing, editing, etc. Listening and relating to other people...and their viewpoints. Diffusing tense situations. My sense of humor is pretty "eclectic". :D I love most types of music and sing a lot when I'm driving, but I may be my only fan. I loved playing piano when I was younger...will have…

Welcome to the site! It's a great source of motiviation/inspiration. :) Feel free to add me if you'd like. Good luck!

Where in the South are you located? I am in the North Texas area, and I would have to make a very conscious choice to eat in a restaurant that rained cornbread and biscuits and served nothing but fried food. I started consistently gaining weight in my late 20s and it was mostly due to a drastic drop in activity level (desk…

Maybe a glass of water, or if you can't sleep milk might help.

It sounds like you are on the right track. I am down 26 lbs with about 94 to go. I'm happy to have to have more friends. The more support you have, the more likely you are to find the motivation that you need each day. It's not an easy process but I know that the end result will be worth it! :)

I'm down 23...97 to go. I'm happy to have new MFP buddies as well!:
