Tomato and cucumber salad is my go to, especially in the summer. If you can get broccoli florets and toss them in olive oil and a little truvia and grill them in tin foil it is pretty amazing. I also do "veggie kabobs" with red and yellow and orange peppers, and mushrooms (spray light olive oil cooking spray lightly and…

If I lost 59 lbs, that would be all I'd want to talk about too. You go girl- at the end of the day you are the only one who has to live in that body. Make it a healthy and one you want to be in FOR YOU. Keep up the exciting work!

Every morning you hit "reset." Hit the reset button girl! Go for a walk. I know it's cold out, but after two blocks you'll feel great. When you feel great, say to yourself: "This feels great! I will do this tomorrow!" Remind yourself that it took a while to gain weight, it'll take a while to lose it, and it one day won't…

I knew something was wrong when I couldn't keep up with my coworkers walking down the hallway. Then, when my doctor told me I should lose 15 lbs. A doctor. Every doctor's appt I've ever been to had been nothing but positive. Hearing it from a doctor really spooked me. Now I feel good, look better, and according my doctor,…

Welcome! I find this site very helpful, easy to navigate, and all of the participants to be sooo helpful. My advice? Post questions and read other posts and responses. A lot of discussions have been started about whether or not to eat the exercise calories. Read the responses and make your own call based on what you see,…

My facebook status the other day was "what kind of idiot tries to lose weight during the holidays!" Of course, I was referring to myself and my concern with all the challenges. I used to be worried about Thanksgiving, but since we are not going to my mom's (the best cook in the workd) I am not too worried! Here's an idea:…

I absolutely agree. Something I have done this time around that has really helped: I can eat whatever I want. I just can't eat as much as I want. This sounds dangerous, but a very wise trainer (www.themojocoach.com) told me that the first bite tastes just like all the rest. If you eat whatever you want but in portions, you…

WOW- that's fabulous! You absolutely look younger...way to go!

Good for you- it sounds like you are really dedicated. Just a tip to ditch the 3 o'clock trip to the vending machine: pack a snack of an apple and peanut butter. It travels well, the peanut butter has good fats, the apple is good for you and the skin has fiber in it that will curb your hunger, and it tastes good. Another…

I'd be interested to know, since you mention you exercise regularly, if you have these calories left over as part of your total or are they left over as part of the total calories for the day? In other words, are you reaching your calorie intake and have "earned calories from exercise" left over? Or on days that you do not…

Talk about something to be thankful for! I am so happy for you, what an accomplishment! Congratulations and I wish you many more days of happy tears on the scale :wink:

Thanks everyone! You've all been a great help!

Deb- you can totally do it! This site is terrific. I have the app on my phone so wherever I am I can log food or exercise. You'll be surprised what you won't eat because you don't want to write it down or log it in! And you'll find yourself eating less of what you like. One of my rules is that I can eat whatever I want,…

Hey there- I am no doctor, but I can tell you I personally think 1400-1700 calories- with or without excercise- is way high. My goal- not deducting excercise- is 1000 calories a day. If I go over a bit, I have a little 200 cal buffer. I try ALWAYS to be in the "green." Something else I noticed from your post, you are a…

Conchita- way to go! You are half way there. I hate when my weight loss levels off, I know what you are going through. I have found this site to be really helpful. It's almost like a game: stay in the green and in deficit with calories. Are you exercising? I just started running again and it has been helpful. I have been…
