Hi! I'm a 30 year old social worker. I'm 5'2 and as of today have around 30 lbs I'd like to lose. Been up and down over the past 8 years with my weight. It looks like I might be a little late to the game, as there seems to be a solid group of ladies already in place here! I'd love to be a part of that and help to offer…

Anyone can add me also! I'm consistent with logging and tracking, and would love to support and motivate each other! I've lost 16 lbs so far and have another 25-35 to lose.

Social Worker in Maryland here! I've been working for a child abuse prevention program for the past 5 years. I agree with everyone about the challenges and rewards of our field. I definitely need to work more on the "taking care of me" aspect to prevent possible burnout, though!

That's awesome!!!

Don't think I made quiet a gallon either day over the weekend...but definitely more than I usually do. What helps you all to get in your water everyday? I keep my nalgene with me and just keep refilling it :)

HA that's so funny - I have family in Glen Burnie too :)

I'm in! My starting weight is 177!

Have you guys seen that picture going around on Facebook that says "All of my friends are getting married or getting pregnant. I'm just getting more awesome."? (I've also seen the variation that says "I'm just getting drunk"....yeah, classy statement about yourself there.) Seeing people I know post this just really irks me…

Hi Everyone! I'm Emily, I'm 25 and have been married for almost one year. We bought our first house before getting married, which has made us very responsible and financially aware of everything we do. I've been working as a social worker for a non-profit agency in Baltimore for almost 4 years. I love what I do and am very…

Count me in! I've used 30DS before and made it through level 2. Let's see if I can be more on track this time :)

Seriously!? WOW! You look great! Hard work definitely pays off!! Ahhhh inspiration :)

almonds, hummus, laughing cow cheese, celery sticks and baby carrots! yummmm :smile:

Wow, congrats! Looking at your pics in your profile, you have come such a long way! That's some serious dedication :) Looking great!!

Hard-boiled eggs. EWWW so gross! I can't stand the smell, look, taste, texture. Just thinking about it is actually creeping me out right now.

I added a column in my diary to track sodium because I was eating some quickie-frozen meals at the office for lunch and wanted to be sure I was not harming myself with the amounts of sodium. It's up to you what you decide to keep track of, but it can't hurt :smile:

awesome! way to go :happy: :happy: :happy:

Love it! That's awesome, keep it up :smile: :smile: :smile:

Mmm this sounds so yummy! Bumping to make for the fiancee tonight :)

OK so I know I'm late in replying to this thread, but thought I'd chime in too since I'm a coffee lover as well. I worked as a barista in a small town coffee shop that served only organic fair-trade coffee for 4 years. That probably makes me a "coffee snob" as some might say :laugh: I am no expert, but I think drinking…

LOVE IT!!

Woo hoo! What a great reward for reaching a goal!! Like other posters said....ENJOY and be mindful :smile: :smile: :smile:

My absolute favorite is the You Pick 2 at Panera: 1/2 cup low fat chicken noodle soup (80 cal) and 1/2 tomato, mozzarella and basil salad, without croutons (210 cal). You can also ask them to put the oil and vinegar on the side and add it yourself so you can control how much you use. Yummy!

So many great tips! :smile: I just have a few to contribute, sorry if these have already been mentioned: Cut your own hair. I have been cutting my own for about 2 years now and have just started cutting my fiancee's. I like the way I do it better, and honestly think I'm pretty good at it! You can buy a set of hair trimming…

Wow you look amazing! I agree with whoever said you look like you lost a lot more than 11 lbs. You totally toned up! Such an inspiration! Keep it up :smile:

HUGE inspiration! Wow, just amazing! I'm totally looking at these photos as inspiration, you look sooooo happy :) Keep up the great work!

WOOOOOHOOOOO for you! Congrats...that's definitely a success to be celebrated :)

Great question. I'm interested in hearing other responses. I personally think that this is YOUR WEDDING DAY and you should enjoy it! If you don't partake in eating your wedding cake, how will you feel afterward? It's part of the celebration! It sounds like you have a great, healthy menu, and you've already decided which…

Hi again to everyone! I weighed in on Saturday but forgot to post, so here are my numbers: SW: 175 CW: 160 GW: 130 Stephanie: Your wedding sounds like it will be so much fun, Disney!!!! [quote/] What about you gals? Location? How long have you been together? What will you be wearing? I just love weddings! We are getting…

Hi again ladies: Well I've been missing from this board for awhile :cry: I had lost another 8 pounds back in March and have managed to gain it all back. My fiancee have been busy house-hunting, and I have been sooooo stressed out about it! We did put an offer in on the house we feel is "the one" on Monday and are anxiously…
