VERY cute idea!!! I think this would be really awesome for servicemembers to send something inexpensive but meangingful home. He should definitely find a way to market it to them and maybe come up with one or two military-themed tokens. I am sending the website to my husband and fully expect to get one from him since he's…

I just bought myself a Wii and the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer. I LOVE the game. It's a good, solid, make you sweat and sore workout in my opinion. You can do a preset workout if you don't have time to sit and create one or you can play around and make up your own with your favorite moves. I made myself a little 10…

Don't deprive yourself of your favorite chocolate... just have less of it. I start to go crazy if I try to eat replacements... because I'm still not getting what I want! I actually end up eating MORE calories because I finally cave and eat what I really want in the end. I can't keep a bunch in the house, though, or I'll…

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and support!!! It's exactly what I needed today. I have to bite my tongue as well. A lot of people do the whole "he's missing everything in your daughter's first year" thing and I want to say "Thank you Captain Obvious! I really needed reminding!" but I don't. I just try to remind…

I hope you all have room for one more... The hubby just went back to Afghanistan from two week R&R. I was very thankful to have him here for the holidays but I think I gained 4 pounds in those 2 weeks!!! I've been looking to Chocolate Chip Cookies for therapy since he left and thus I have realized I need to start logging…

Reallllly stupid question here but what day are you guys weighing in? I was trying to go to once a month weigh in but I think I need to go back to once a week or at least every other week for a few months. I'm still losing weight but I can tell that it's not coming from where I want to because I'm not really working out.…

Hey Blues......... Well, I gave up on logging food in MFP and of course, I started eating off track. My main issue is working in exercise. I've still managed to lose 4.5 pounds since I weighed in a little over a month ago but because I'm not exercising like I should, my body isn't changing how I want it too. I think I have…

Hey guys... I haven't forgotten about ya'll! I got really, really sick with the flu this weekend, just in time for my days off from work. How convenient! So, I don't think it's fair for me to weigh in. I saw like a 5 pound drop but I'm sure I'll put more of it back on. Hope you all have a better week than what I've had.…

I agree that you have to do what is right for you. As long as you think long and hard about it and you talk to some other people who have gone through similar experiences, I don't see any reason why shouldn't at least consider it as an option for yourself. Please continue to come back here for support!!! I would like to…

Hey Blues! I have a day off!!! YAY! We still woke up super early, though. You can't change a kid's internal clock to sleep in. Argh! I feel like I'm starting to get more energy now! Looking around at everyone who says they've been at my job for more than 5 years, I'm deathly afraid to end up gaining weight like they did!!!…

Hey Blues!!! Just wanted to check in for a sec. I weighed in and maintained. :sad: I have had just enough time in the day between work and taking my daughter to/from my mom's to come home and get everything ready for the next day, shovel in some dinner and get my daughter ready for bed. I'm so wiped out and it's only going…

Hey guys! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels the same way about french fries (and weight watchers!). I started my new job today. It was all human resources and benefits stuff and tomorrow starts real work. It's like having two first days because I'm meeting new people each day and they're in two different locations.…

I LOVE it but use it on alternating days. Two reasons: For one, I like to do more cardio and two, I got really bored!!! I tried it on You Tube first, so I knew what I was getting into. It's a really great workout and you WILL see inches lost if you stick to it and eat right. :flowerforyou:

Thanks, guys! I guess I was more focusing on the negative. Fries are one of my "trigger foods" and a habit I have tried to break a million times. Yes, I do feel proud that I didn't dig into a carton of ice cream for dessert! That would have been me in the past. It's why I was a professional Weight Watchers drop-out!!!…

My husband grew up on canned vegetables as well and HATES everything except corn. I've managed to hide very finely chopped broccoli in spaghetti sauce and my next trick is going to be yellow squash. His parents used to give him baked and mashed potatoes with ketchup (yuck!) but I've recently given them to him with…

lcorrell14 ~ You know in your heart what is TRULY good for you. I held on to a toxic relationship for YEARS beyond what I should have and it nearly killed me. When I let go of it, I found I was surprisingly OK with things, which made me feel weird. I felt like I should be feeling this great loss. Instead, this heavy weight…

I got a good laugh thinking about someone trying to figure out how to cram a mattress into a washer.... thanks! I needed it! :laugh:

You guys are all looking FABULOUS!!!! Anastacha63! That is an AMAZINGLY unbelievable transformation!!!!!!!! Who is that tiny little person swimming in those clothes?! :smile: I have plenty of before photos - most of them involve me and FOOD! I'm taking progress pics every 15 pounds so hopefully I'll be joining you all here…

Thanks for all of the fabulous suggestions from everyone! I'm taking the list with me and I'm sure I can find one with the stuff I like out of these. I'm pretty picky but surely I can find something. :smile: Oh, but feel free to keep adding on if you like one not listed!!!

Thanks! I'll be working for a police department as well but in dispatch. I have no clue what I'll be doing until the Academy starts, though! I can't imagine the fire dept. coming to get me off a roof... yeah, I'd be mortified, too! LoL I am kind of afraid of drinking too much water when I start on the job training.…

Great job, losers! I need to step up my game this week! Carrie ~ It'll come back off, girl! Just keep working at it and don't give up!!!

Thanks! Those sound yummy! They're all so expensive that I just hate buying a box, eating half of one and giving away the rest!!!

Depends how big the hand is... :wink:

I couldn't make this life-long if I didn't allow myself treats. Depriving myself leads me to "cheating" and then that generally leads me to failure. I started out with a daily treat and now I'm down to 1-3 times per week. As long as you're eating enough of what your body needs for fuel during the day and you're staying…

Mine bounced back and got some shape back to them. I'm doing the 30 Day Shred and the chest flies and push ups seem to be helping. There is hope!!! Oh, and I have lost 10.5 total inches since April and ZERO in my boobs. I'm annoyed, my husband is entirely too happy about it!

I would personally ditch half the english muffin and keep the egg yolk to cut some calories at breakfast. I do one whole grain waffle with 1.5 tbsp peanut butter for breakfast and it keeps me full for much longer than when i went down to 1 tbsp PB and 2 waffles. Then I spread it out and have a banana for snack (I used to…

Thanks, Chrissy! I'll try to give it a shot. I've got some potatoes sitting on the counter just begging to become french fries! :bigsmile:

An attainable goal for me is to stay within +/- 100 calories of my daily goal. I may not be eating all good quality foods as I find my rhythm with the new job but I know I can still stay within my calorie range. So, even if I have to stop and get food somewhere, I might make the smarter decision and get a fresh salad from…
