I invested in a food scale. It helps A LOT. That prevents me from guesstimating :) I always try to do the exact serving size. If I have enough calories, heck yeah I'll double

I seriously have the hardest time finding jeans. I'm bigger in the mid section, but everywhere else, I don't match. I try on a pair of jeans and they fit perfectly in the mid section, but the thighs are HUGE. AND I'm Italian! Doesn't make sense.

My philosophy: Hungry? Eat. Not hungry? Don't eat. I really try not to eat when I'm not hungry. That was my fault before this whole thing. I ate whenever the heck I felt like it. Being under doesn't bother me at all. Obviously, my ultimate goal is 1200 calories, but that doesn't always happen. I get my food habits from my…

If you don't see a difference, you are crazy! You ARE making progess! Keep it going girl!

May sound totally weird, but it works for me. You have to figure out how you like your water. For me, I like to drink it at room temperature. (a lot of people think it's disgusting, whatever!) I have very sensitive teeth so very cold water triggers instant pain for 30 seconds to 3 minutes long. At work, the first thing I…

I've also tried the Multi-Grain Peanut Butter Cherrios...gross. Threw them out immediately.

So, I thought I loved Special K w/ Strawberries...yeah no... Gets soggy way to quickly for me. I LOVE the Multi-Grain Cherrios. I have never been a Cherrios fan, but I love these. Plus, they are lightly sweetened <3

Love it. The first day I did it (the word exercise was basically not in my vocab at the time or past 5 years), I was so friggin sore. Could barely get out of bed. My arms were sore for 5 days. My thighs were sore for 3 days. It sucks the first couple times you do it. I will say that your body adapts to it. I hate the…

Amazing! great job!

I think the woman is gorgeous just the way she is... whether she is fat/obese/morbidly obese/whatever else you want to classify her as....she's gorgeous.

Oh, I'm good at the low cal stuff apparently... yogurt, Lays Light potato chips (delish, no fat!), Special K Cracker Chips (have several flavors, my fav is cheese), veggie burgers, bread wise: Healthy Life brand, apples, oranges, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and peas. Edit: Also love grilled chicken,…

I get really bored with the same workout so I have Banish Fast, Boost Metabolism, Kickboxing Fastfix, and the 30 day shred

those look dynamite

shave it all!

The weekends are usually referred to "Operation Sex" because we are too tired to "do the damn thing" during the week. He likes to say, "do you want to cuddle?" and then I know he wants to do it. Although, sometimes he actually literally wants to cuddle. I'm a woman and yes, I hate to cuddle. I'm with a man who loves to…

Amazing. Very inspirational.

I like to snack on apples, oranges, bananas, baby carrots, and Special K Cracker Chips

How in the world do you hate swimming? You don't sweat! I love it! lol what don't you like about it? I'm very curious

Agree with ^^ completely. I really hate squats and lunges though. The planks I can tolerate even though they practically kill me.

# 3 or #4!

I highly doubt my pasta salad is healthy, but I'm sure you can substitute in healthy choices which I may do this summer. Everyone I know raves about my pasta salad. 1 box of tri-color rotini pasta (you could use whole grain pasta) 1 can of black olives drained (you can cut them in half if you prefer...I like to leave them…

Me, myself and I. I do some of the Jillian Michaels workouts and I seriously want to knock the woman out at times. I just try to push myself as far as I can go. It's all about me. I'm doing it for me so I have to be the one who motivates ME.

make an omelette..throw in some veggies and some lean meat

I would suggest putting as little as possible to start for the breading. So say you measure out 1 cup of flour. If you need to add more, measure it out. Whatever you don't use, measure it out and subtract it. That's just my educated guess.

If your boyfriend can have female friends...and you aren't jealous..sure why not. Make sure you know those females though! Some of them don't care if they are single or not...If you trust your boyfriend, it's all good then.

WOW?! PB & J...that is the most people can come up with! The top of my head is grilled chicken, BBQ sauce, veggies of your choices

You should consider seeing a doctor. I was also feeling very sick while I was making breakfast in the morning, but only on the weekends. I've never been tested for food allergies before. I'd be creating a breakfast in my mind, then once I started to make it, it still sounded really good. Once I was almost done with it, I…

Well, I'm back in high school again trying to get voted for homecoming queen/court. So, I'll do the same thing I did in high school and vote for myself. hahaha I think I am sexy. I am very smart. I graduated with a degree in Math education. Oh yes, I can do calculus! :) Plus, I have beautiful green eyes, gorgeous hair, and…

I started at 260lbs. I started off with walking with my dogs for like 2 weeks when the weather was nice. That was fun. Not so much fun anymore considering it's going to be almost 100 degrees out this weekend. (I practically go into hibernation during the summer or I'm in the pool) After the first 2 weeks, I bought some…

Count everything!
