Maybe instead of taking away, substitute/add at first, and just cut portions of everything you like in half? For example, add in a little fruit and yogurt to breakfast, until you like it so much you get rid of the "other food". Keep eating what you like for now, but cut your portions down, ease yourself into it. This way…

Here's mine, I swap songs in/out every couple weeks. Bust a Move – Young MC Crazy B*tch – Buckcherry Sabotage-Beastie Boys Song 2-Blur Tubthumping-Chumbawumba Moves Like Jagger-Maroon 5 Good Vibrations-Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch In Between Days-The Cure Suck My Kiss-Red Hot Chili Peppers The Chemicals Between Us-Bush…

THIS ^^^ I had ACL reconstruction about 10 years ago and my knee still bothers me sometimes so I avoid high impact--I LOOOOOOOVE my elliptical. To me, no workout can compare, and I never have knee issues using it. I do about 45-50 mins a day on it in conjunction with strength training and pilates. I get awesome results,…

87.5+32=119.5 :)

I took a quick look at your diary, and your protein is WAY low. I make sure I get at least 100g or more a day. You also have a lot of processed foods on there, and they are very high in sugar content. Instead of ice cream, chocolate and frozen yogurt all the time for snacks try substituting a protein shake (if you love ice…

I was down 4.5lbs this week after a frustrating plateau. Changed up a bunch of things so I don't know what worked, just glad something did!

Love this! And +100 for working Suicidal Tendencies in. Maybe all she wants is a Pepsi.

SW: 220.5 (Feb 2012) SW: 198.5 (since we formed this group) CW: 196 GW: 159-169, need to see when I get near it! Down 2.5 lbs this week after a frustrating plateau.

Thanks ladies, today is exactly 4 months til my wedding so it was a good "keep on track" motivator. 2 months til fittings begin!

I absolutely love Kashi Go Lean Crisp Berry Crumble. So yummy! 9g protein, 8g fiber. http://www.kashi.com/products/golean_cereal_crisp_toasted_berry_crumble

My wedding is 4 months from today! Dress fittings coming up in 2 months...keeps me on track!

I use the "substitution" trick I used on my kids when they were toddlers--if they wanted to play with something they shouldn't touch, I would grab a toy and say, "oh LOOK! How fun!!!" and substitute it for the "bad" thing, making it sound like the substitution was so awesome that there was no comparison. This way I wasn't…

Thanks for doing that DaisyMae!

Oh, LOVE that idea! Burgundy is my favorite shade of red and I love Victorian fashion (wish I could wear it but it doesn't suit me). Definitely please post pics, I will look at your Pinterest. :)

if you were talking to me, thanks! if not, LOL!

I'm August 25! :) you can see how to do a pic by quoting my post with the pic in it--just replace the URL of my pic with yours. will look like "[img ]http://www.the link to your pic.com[/img ]" (without those spaces in the brackets) to get the URL of your pic, right click the pic, left click Properties, copy the address…

I can't pass up a chance to post mine again, I love it! Beautiful gowns, ladies!!!

oh definitely. My ticker says 22 lbs but I originally lost 90+ lbs the first time (3 years ago, happy relationship weight came on in the form of 35.5 lbs so I'm working on dropping that plus the rest to goal, I have about 30-40 to go). When I was at my heaviest I totally ditched out of my 20 year HS reunion, now I regret…

I am, and I find that the "5 small meal" plan works best for me--I tend to get really hungry, scarf down food and then feel sick afterwards. When I eat breakfast, a late-morning snack, lunch, late-afternoon snack, and dinner I am rarely starving hungry. Plus it regulates my blood sugar so I don't crash. And I make sure I…

you can do this! I had ACL reconstruction surgery and then six weeks after, on the first day I got my brace off, I fell and broke my kneecap...six more weeks immobilized. Just try to eat healthy foods, (one good thing about hobbling around is that you either have to ask someone to get you junk food or REALLY try to get it…

Yay for all the effort, ladies! Regarding the back fat issue--I read that if you alter the back of your gown into a gentle downward curve instead of straight across, it eliminates the back fat issue--even skinny women have that problem sometimes. Lindsey, OMG your weight loss so far is amazing!!! I'm doing well...scale is…

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! That in itself is an incredible accomplishment!!! And you are not that far...every day you get a little closer. I am talking to myself as much as you--my weightloss has slowed too but I feel better. I keep telling myself that the slower it comes off, the more time for my skin to…

fixed for you! you put [ img ] before, [ /img ] after (must be lowercase and without those spaces, I had to put spaces in to get it to show ) and you need the image address not the link. Pretty!

Mine is 58, I'm 44 years old.

Aww thanks! Everything I didn't plan on getting--strapless, sparkly, princessy...tried it on on a whim and loved it. Figures! Looking forward to seeing your bridesmaid dress!

I'll join! My wedding is Aug 25. I have my dress on order, I ordered it a size down and I'm already smaller than that, so I'm hanging tough. I'm on day 31 of a 100 day personal challenge (I just told myself to work out somehow every day, eat healthy etc--in essence do BETTER for 100 days straight) and I'm really happy with…

Are you working out? I can watch what I eat perfectly but if I don't work out consistently, I would never lose an ounce.

250momma hasn't logged in for 11 days, I hope she is ok--she was doing well eating more and exercising. :(

Congrats, that is awesome! Must have been a great feeling :)

Thanks everyone! What a great idea! That's why I say "Levis" because you know how varied the different designers' sizes are...so when I measure it that way I try to stick w/one brand to avoid vanity sizing hollow victories. LOL
