Figured it out! :D.

Finally figured this out - but unsure where to post my link. How did you do that? Thanks :D

I try to do my best to log everyday, feel free to add me if you want too. I try and keep myself going, and encouragement is always valued and I do my best to reciprocate everyone! I'm 5'7 - 5'8, and have about another 65 pounds to go, have lost 15 so far. I have my really rough days...but yes, I try to log everyday. When I…

I too could use some motivation! I'm really trying this time and am now further than I've been before, I really need to make this healthy journey happen. Been doing better now, but I'm always afraid of slipping back into eating literally 24/7 and getting an immense amount of calories in a day. Recently had a close death in…

Yep, I'm right there with you!! I've done a complete restart...should have been at New Years, but hey, 3 or 4 months late isn't bad. It's ALWAYS better late than never. Keep at it, we all struggle, and I'm one of the worst! Today was honestly the first day I actually logged and *completed* my diary in weeks. I'm going to…

When you use oatmeal is it...just like, uncooked? Sorry if that was a dumb question, I just don't know about that part. ;) I'll have to check this Chia stuff out that I keep hearing about!

That sounds great, actually. I'll have to try that out sometime.

Thank you SO much!! Can't wait to continue with this class. :) All the best to you too!

Thank you for your comments! I'm very excited about my new adventure, we'll see how I do! :) Thanks again!

I've been a poster-child for living terribly!! These days apparently is no exception, though I'm TRYING! :) need to go to the store again to get more things for my cupboards that aren't so terrible for me. I live with 2 guys, so ... that is definitely not helping...they get the worst things, and they are always…

Just wanted to say it was really nice reading about everyone's goals and I know this is a good group where we can really focus and help each other on our journey! Nice to meet all of you! :)

Hi there! I'm 26, work full time, going to school for my bachelors, have my own small cosmetics business, and altogether have zero time in the day! =) Glad to be back into the swing of things after taking a bit of a break from the site. So excited to get started! Exercise is a turn-off for me, and monitoring what I eat…

Since I posted this - what with busy-ness at work and school and the like, I'd actually stopped using the site for awhile. I'm back now, and happy to say the 2-3 weeks I used the smoothies continuously I really felt really great. Can't believe I got out of the habit of drinking them in the mornings. I understand, they are…

Oh gosh! This is going to be hard, especially with how crazy and late my weeks are at work. I brought a Monster with me to work today, so I *am* going to have to have that to stave sleep off on my long shift tonight, but after that I'm in for the just water for one week!! We can do this, good luck to everyone! :glasses:

Thanks again for all the great support from everyone who has been positive and had really great tips :) Today was my first day of the smoothies, and I feel really great. Not even hungry, which is surprising - I'm always hungry! lol I'm going to eventually switch around my recipe for it, just to try new things. I liked…

Thanks for the tips, everyone! The thing with me is, I love fruit, but I don't love my veggies that much. I'm hoping this helps me get some extra nutrients from veggies as opposed to just the fruits I love so much. :)

Been looking at all the posts, great job everyone with your success stories! It's really encouraging to people like me who haven't seen a *lot* of results yet, and I personally am impatient :) Thanks again for sharing everyone!

I loathe anything coconut but I saw that a lot of people enjoy things like that, or coconut milk in theirs. I hope these will do the trick for me! :)

Thanks to you for your reply (sorry you lost your other one!) So glad to hear people love their smoothies, I actually saw a pin about the green smoothies on Pinterest and couldn't help but check it out :)

So what are you doing, exactly? Just curious! Are you walking the 2.5 miles each day and just eating right? Any other secrets? And I know what it's like being asked when you're due. I look about 6 months pregnant, and it's horrible!! I've been asked several times myself.

I agree with you, I calculated everything I'll be putting in my smoothies, and it looks to be right around 305 calories per serving. That isn't too bad, all things considered, especially if replacing 2 meals a day with the smoothies, plus a healthy dinner, a snack in there somewhere, and exercise. I've heard plenty of…

Great progress! If I can ask, what have you been doing that has made it go down in such a short time frame? Mine looks worse than your first picture :/ You've done great!! :)

I know that feeling! I feel like I've been slacking lately, and need to cut that out! I'll be happy to check on you as well, add me if you'd like :)
