I do sometimes, but most of the time I try to connect with my emotion first and avoid the kitchen (and I'm usually pretty successful), but there have been some days where I was emotionally stressed and just said SCREW IT and went for the candy and/or cake sitting in my kitchen or whatever because I knew IN THAT MOMENT, I…

Me too! I am at the 200s and I think I would look crazy below the 180s as well. Right now I'm just working to tone up... At least people tell me I LOOK like I'm in the 180s! This thread also is making me want to go workout (sadly I'm still at work for another 4 more hours)...and I now feel guilty about the sweet potato…

My family is grilling out--so my meal will be a turkey burger (no bread), veggie skewers and salad. (Not sure what else is being made). I'm happy my family is supporting me and willing to cook the healthier alternative for me!

I used to get the squishy comments too!

I dated a guy in college who said that I would never be attractive because I was heavy. He was the kind of guy that wouldn't claim me as his GF in public, but only in private. He tried to say he was he best I was ever going to get... (that didn't last long) and 4 years later, I'm 53lbs lighter and I have a man who loves me…

BMR: 1709 Daily Calorie Goal: 1700-1800 total, even with exercise. Try to burn about 500+ calories per workout day and eat back roughly half of my exercise calories.

I was in a car accident 2 years ago, breaking my dominant hand--lady ran a red light & I collided into her going thru the intersection. I was pretty depressed about it and was scared to drive. My parents forced me to get behind the wheel and drive to a job interview (needless to say, I didn't get the job cause I drove so…

Great results! Now I have a question: Did you JUST do P90x? Or did you add other workouts in? And what kind of "diet" were you eating? I'm during Turbo Fire and I'm just curious cause I always get the "you know people don't get that way from just doing that"...but I'm only looking to tone and maybe lose a few inches as…

Oh! I do the egg thing too! And the protein powder I have liked best out of all that I tried (and more reasonably priced): Pure Protein 100% Whey, Vanilla. I got it at publix & it was the cheapest, so I bought it--but I LOVE it. I tried Designer Whey strawberry protein powder & hate it... I figured it might be good since I…

My protein comes from chicken, turkey burgers, Hebrew National hot dogs, I LOVE beef or turkey snack bites as a snack, almonds (limit to 1 serving --measured out--per day). And when I'm on the go I buy Designer Whey French Vanilla protein shake--100 calories per bottle, 18g protein, 0 carbs....Oh and SHRIMP is a great…

When I first started my weight loss journey, I just took everything I enjoyed and found a "better" alternative. I have a BIG sweet tooth, so I loved things like ice cream, oreos, crackers, cookies, etc... So I just made healthier alternatives for the things I love: switched to 100% whole wheat bread, got fresh deli meat…

Totally failed... I was out 2 weeks in. I gave up sweets and had dessert 3 nights in a row... so I just quit.

I was training for a half-marathon last year (July) and had to take a break because I started having SEVERE knee pains soon after hitting 7 miles. I took about 3 months off (Starting back up around August). It was a little tough getting back on the wagon. I found myself only able to run 2-3 mile runs, which was…
-
I disagree to a certain extent...I REALLY can't eat what I want to eat and in order to finish my weight loss journey, I have to find a way to combat my genetics (I've been overweight most of my life & my body is USED to being heavy). I have been eating what I want to eat while calorie controlling, watching my portions, and…

Added you! :-)

Egg whites is about 16-17 calories for a large egg. That's what I use if I eat it boiled or just use the white & scramble it. I hate yolk--I can only eat it if I scramble it.

Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter...I just saw it was closed...

Is there going to be different groups for different people??? Or will we just have to post to this board every week???

What's the guidelines to the challenge? I'd like to try, but I wanted to know HOW we are doing this challenge? I just started a new diet program today and have been doing turbo fire for two weeks. Next week I will continue back with my 3x a week running regime. My current weight is 200 Goal Weight: 185 I guess my challenge…

I struggle REALLY bad with this as well. Because of job location, I spend most weekends with my boyfriend. He doesn't care about his eating habits NEARLY as much as I do. When we first started dating he was into fitness, but as time has gone on, he doesn't workout nearly as often as he used to. We go out to eat Fridays and…

Also, since losing 30lbs have you recalculated the amount of calories you should be eating? I know that when I manually calculate the amount of calories I should be eating (based off articles & the nutrition guide that came with Turbo Fire), I should be eating around 2300 calories (this is including eating back my exercise…

It's nice to know I'm not the only one in this boat. I've been in a plateau for a good minute, going on a year plus of not losing any TRUE weight. I have been measuring and don't see a difference in numbers, but I'm being told by family and coworkers that I look REALLY thin... My bf thinks all my inches have gone to my…

I've had my fair share of "I can't believe I ate that" moments...and even though I have been on a weight loss journey, I still catch myself going crazy on my off days. In college I could eat a whole medium pizza by myself...I always ordered thin crust, so I felt better about it... RIGHT! And about 2 weeks ago, via…

I'm with most people; I fit it in when I can. I prefer late morning (9-12), but if I have to work that day, it'll be later that evening, around 5-7. I am less likely to skip a workout if I can get it in earlier in the day then if I have to wait until after work... I am usually tired after work and struggle to find the…

I feel your pain! I have only seen the scale move between the same 5lbs... up and down, up and down...for the past year!!! I feel like I eat fairly healthy. I eat a lot of nuts, lean meats, veggies, eggs, fruits... I shop in the produce section WAY more than I ever did before. My processed/prepackaged foods are usually a…

I know the feeling. I watch Biggest loser & the ladies always get down below me & they still look WAY heavier than me. I have heavy bones, high muscle density. I weight 200lbs STILL (and no one believes me when I tell them). Most people think I'm between 170-180. It's tough for myself because I know my REAL weight, but…

Even with a sweet job, I'm still signing a prenup. Thankfully my boyfriend was TOTALLY cool with my idea of having 3 accounts: his, hers, and shared (for house/kid/bills type of responsibilities). Our prenup will only split the shared account and not touch our individual accounts. I'm not married nor engaged. I'm 2 weeks…

THIS!!! Yea. I don't think my body can get to a size 8 either without me becoming practically anorexic.. I'm a size 12 & I must say, it looks pretty darn good on me! The smallest I'd ever consider is a 10.

I was in the vitamin shop (Vitamin World) and they gave me a magazine that talks abour organic vitamins and proteins and stuff. It's called "Raw" brand. I don't have the magazine on hand, but they have everything under the sun pretty much: powder protein, meal replacement powder, daily vitamins, omega complex, etc. I just…
