I wouldn't go super cheap on shoes with your history. I've got a bad ankle and heel myself and can't go real cheap on any shoe. I'm on my feet for 8 hours at work or more and their cement floors. But you don't want to get really expensive shoes either (I find I'm good in the $40-50 (though some of them were discounted from…

I'm always over on my sugar but that's usually from fruits and natural such. I wouldn't worry about it too much but I hear popcorn, nuts, and berries (such as blue berries and raspberries) are lower in sugar.

I can believe it. I've seen news reports of people calling 9-1-1 because their fast food order wasn't the way they wanted it.

you rock, keep it up

judas- lady gaga on the dance floor- jennifer lopez hollaback girl- gwen stafani fred bear- ted nugent play that funky music- wild cherry raise your glasses- pink i want it all/we will rock you (sucker punch soundtrack

Most of the time i do, they cost $0.90 a bag and they hold more and I don't really have to worry as much about them ripping on me. I even have an insulated bag for my frozen. I like it because the plastic ones just build up around my house.

1. Drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water EVERY DAY - I drink this anyway so this won’t be a challenge 2. Try a new exercise: I’ve done so many different things that this could be a challenge for me. I currently am trying exercises from a site called rockbody.tv. 3. Think about (and share if you feel comfortable) what got you…

call it a cheat day and if your only on week 2 I think your fine. You're still learning all the tricks. I've been on here for a year or so (I think?) and I still have days were I know I'm over. yesterday is a good example: pumpkin cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (yum!) birthday cake, hot dog, a hamburger patty, and…

It's a beautiful tattoo. i would set it as a mini goal, because you seem to want it bad enough it will motivate you to reach that goal and when you reach it you have this nice reward for your efforts. It's worked for me. And it actually makes me work harder because if don't reach my goal I can't have the reward that goes…

I can drink either one and enjoy them both. I switched to soy for a while because of higher cholesterol then I would have liked (I was only 28 years old). I switched back to regular milk recently because of cost and the fact it has ore calcium then soy and I am lacking that in my diet. I haven't tried almond milk yet but…

sounds good

I'll have to try this next week.

I'm in. Don't know if I'll make the 10 lbs but I'm up for a challenge and like them better then my own pace. It keeps me focused.

i've done the whole 30 day shred. and am doing it again with 5 lb weights. it's still a workout. good luck and have fun. :wink:

wow, good work.

Muscle is more dense then fat so you can weigh more because of that. I'm in a similar boat, no one believes me when I tell them how much I weigh. I wouldn't take it personally, and congrats on the weight you've lost.

Don’t forget proportion size when you eat the low-cal snacks. I looked through mine and here’s white I have: Wheat noodles (spaghetti, a few different types) Nature Valley crunchy granola bars Oatmeal (quick oats) Mustard Spices (dill, thyme, oregano, chili, garlic, etc.) I hardly cook with salt but I love to use all these…

From Michigan, bred born & raised here, welcome!:tongue:

wow! :noway: you've got guts for posting photos. I'm not brave enough to look at myself without a tank top on. Your progress is amazing and I hope you reach your goals.:smile:

I wouldn't sweat it too much but still keep an idea of how many calories your in taking. If you go over okay but still try to keeping an eye on it. If your going to a music festival then have fun and move around a lot more then you normally do. then you'll need to eat more calories to maintain your metabolism. have…

If you have 1 day left I would just finish it. maybe if you exercise you'll sleep better at night. I found that if i don't exercise I don't sleep as well. I hope you can get some sleep soon.:smile:

I have read protein shakes are for building muscle but can you add a little to my morning smoothie so if I'm not getting enough protein in my diet as is?

Try taking it a little easier on the exercise and start reaching out to your friends and family. Talk to them about how you feel and what your going through. Sounds like your in a depression and that can be a bad thing. I would think about why you started to lose weight and focus on that.

there area few things: Insurance makes me take a physical every 6 months; finding out that i have higher cholesterol then my mother,

I'm 5'1" currently 154 and I'm shooting for 140 lbs. currently I'm a size 10 (us) and think I can get into a size 8 soon but I jus want to be healthy. I'm in better shape now then I've been fore 5 years.

This sounds like fun count me in (3500/7 is 500) I like a challenge.:tongue: Weekly Goal: Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur:calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat:calories…

I wouldn't pay that much attention to size on stuff. I have size 10-15 jeans that fit all the same way so just feel good about your clothes fitting better. I pay more attention to your own measurements and be happy in your weight loss. Nice work so far.:happy:

the pumpkin pie shake sounds good

:love: maple & pumpkin & granola!!!! will try soon!:love:

I've found Mexican to be quite healthy for me. I just make it from home and I found a good recipe for homemade taco seasoning. I add that when I'm browning the meat (beef or chicken) and find it taste real good and isn't too high in calories. I also drain the meat before I use it. Besides spicy foods have been known to…
