CONGRATULATIONS!! keep going!:smile:

woot! great job laura!! feeling better now. still coughing like crazy, but i now feel like i have a normal cold instead of a super mega cold. slept so much that I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to sleep today so I can go into work tonight. woke up HUNGRY so had trouble not eating everything I looked at... only ate…

hello my kick *kitten* in our twenties friends. it is so great that I can come read this suuper awesome thread! so I'm home sick as some of y'all have experienced lately. I have not worked out since last Thursday and it is KILLING ME! I feel like a total sloth, but I need to take my own advice and get better before I get…

Me 2. I think before I eat... If I don't know how many calories are in it... I don't eat it. I feel like I don't really have to "give up" stuff I used to eat as much as plan them into my day. That being said.. I don't eat bagels anymore because they are waaaaay not worth the calories.

Great job!! It is so easy to get that momentary satisfaction, but you have worked so hard for your long-term goals! It is hard to keep that in sight when faced with chocolaty treats lol. I <3 your profile picture!!! so cute and totally what I want to do with cake..lol

ate a bunch of crap today... no excuse. just didn't leave myself enough time or energy to plan and beyond that gave in to some cravings. i really feel sick to my stomach right now from what I just ate.. bleh. The good news is that I logged EVERYTHING I ate...That is kind of a personal victory for me. Also I ate 498…

welcome!! it is loads of fun and there is always LOTS of activity on this thread. everybody is so awesome!!! meag - sry bout your buds, but you are right!! it seems like they are taking your life changes personally... which is pretty defensive. i hope they will start to understand that this is an awesome life style change…

Me 2!

it didn't make me gain weight that I noticed, but it did make me really sick!! i would feel nauseous and moody all the time.. it was awful. i did some research and now i use the nuvaring because the hormones are local and don't affect your entire body as severely as taking the pill (which is a much higher dose because it…

woooow... this thread is JUMPIN! Been working the past three nights, so even though I could get on and off here and there I felt like I really needed to sit down and go through everyone's posts once I was home. So here goes... Gonks: I couldn't make it through Skinny B*tch.. so preachie and annoying! Congrats on your loss…

I drink tea with fat free milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar to give me something that fills my tummy but is also low calorie For a chocolate craving I would recommend low-cal hot chocolate. I've got some in my pantry. Like 60 calories a serving. Take a travel mug to have with you at the front desk. Also water water water...…

Me 2. I feel that way when going out, but then I always wind up eating waaay to many calories!! I think from now on when I eat out I'll have to plan ahead to eat something yummy, but that fits in my calorie budget (maybe after a bad-*kitten* workout!).

Wow incredible! You've done a great job. MFP is so great. Everyone is so supportive. I tell everyone I know who wants to loose weight and be healthier. You just can't beat it!

Welcome to MFP. I also work nights which is a challenge in itself, but you can still accomplish your goals!! =D

bump. Can't wait to eat these. Def a possibility to bring for Thanksgiving.

that guy's insides must look like rotten meat... ugh

dang it i wish i could delete posts when i don't spell stuff right...

btw.. this thread is making me laugh so hard I'm gona pee my pants... i'm gonna need one of those extra exorbant hospital pads...

LOL! I measure my creamer... I'm such a goody 2 shoes! It does crack me up that you have still lost 48 lbs. Just proves that a couple extra calories can't really hurt as long as you keep going. WAIT!! You're supposed to log diet soda?! Ok THATS never gonna happen.

Me 2!! When I get the munchies at night.. or basically any time I have free time at home.. I get moving. I work out or clean. I redirect my energy because I know there are more valuable things to do with my time than eat. I've actually gotten a lot done this week because of it, lol. Eating is a good excuse not to balance…

It really depends what you eat. I normally grab california roll or boston roll when I'm at work (don't trust the raw stuff from a cafeteria lol). All 12 peices California roll: 226 cal; Boston roll: 234 cal. Today I had the Snow Crab roll for the first time: 226 cal.

Saying no to baked goods?! That is a huge victory! I have a lot of trouble doing that, but it is totally worth it! Also, I hope you feel better... cyber colds are the worst!! :bigsmile:

lol... I meant to say "I don't know what I'd do". This is what happens when you are typing passionaely about sushi.

My weight fluctuates pretty frequently. I know that it will discourage me if it goes up, and if it goes down I feel the temptation to binge on something because "I'm doing so good". As a result my "rule" is once a week, Sunday morning as soon as I get up (its the only day I always keep a normal schedule- sleep all night,…

Me 2! I prefer the cardio though. Love Cardio Party!! And it is great when I can't get my butt to the gym. I heard there is Turbo Fire now, which sounds scarry, but I really want to get it!!

THANKS! lol. u guys are so helpful. =D

THANKS! lol. u guys are so helpful. =D

Healthy fear for a more intense version of Turbo Jam, lol. Scarry!!! But I'm excited to try it!

props to you girl!!

What has been working for me are NACHOS! 1 serving of tortilla chips (140 calories) 1/2 cup kidney beans (100 calories) 1/4 cup fat free shredded cheddar (45 calories) Microwave 1 minute You can dd veggies as you like (tomatoes, peppers, onion, scallions, lettuce.. normally whatever I have in house) This really fills me up…
