These look amazing. Thank you!

I think it depends on how much you are drinking. If you are having one or two cups a day and not putting to much extra in it (sugar, sweetener, etc), then I say go with it. Coffee has been shown to have several positive attributes. There is NOTHING positive about soda. It's just drinking a bottle of chemicals. If you are…

We are in the process of getting our 7 year old diagnosed. She is amazingly bright and gets straight A's. But her difficulty with focus, inability to organize and her lack of impulse control gets her in trouble a lot. A few months ago she asked me me why she is so bad and why she gets in so much trouble and why her sister…

Be ok with going SLOWLY! For TWO YEARS I tried to lose all 20 pounds in a month. I would lose and them immediately gain it back. Yo-yo!! This time, I'm going with a pound a week. And it's staying off!!

I could eat this a hundred different ways. But my favorite is pretty simple. Chopped, fresh garlic, olive oil and feta cheese when the quinoa is still warm. It's delicious.

That is GREAT!! Good for you!! Keep up the amazing work!! I am sitting here waiting with a broken ankle myself, waiting for the ok to start working out again. Boy do I miss it!!

Recipes!!! Specifcally Low Carb recipes!!!

I would love to join. I actually have exactly 18 pounds to go and would love to have it done by Christmas!!

I actually diid find it annoying, but now, since I eat mostly the same things, I just spent some time making my recipes. That has made all the difference in the world!!

Plan your day!! That is the only thing that works for me. Every morning, or sometimes even the night before, I sit and plan out all my meals for the day. Then if I have any extra carbs or calories, I can have a little splurge! And it helps keep me eating and on track!

Baking!! I just finished making pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for the kids. I don't eat the finished product, but I probably eat 2 or 3 muffins worth of batter. I can't help myself. It makes me not want to bake, but I love baking and I love giving my kids treats that are clean eating and home made. Just this time I…

Oh, I love Decatur! I lived in Virginia Highlands for several years. I miss being able to walk to places!! Walking to Piedmont Park on a nice day was one of my favorite things to do.

Wow, this is great and so true!!! I read another quote that was similar... Wisdom is - doing now what you know you will be happy with later.

Hey, I'm in Atlanta, too!! Actually, right outside Atlanta in Gwinnett County. But I went to high school in Atlanta so I know it well. I also lived in NYC for 4 years, went to college there. How cool!!

Thanks ladies!! This is all awesome info! I always forget tea. It really is a great way to stave off late night snacking!! Thank you!

My goal is 10 down by Mid-December and then maintain thru New Years. we have so many birthdays and family functions, I won't go nuts on food, but I'm going to enjoy me some wine!!

Good for you!!! You can do this!

Just added you. I know how you feel!! I have been on here for over 3 years and have yo-yo'd like a champ. But this time I'm finally making it work. No other reason that I'm just tired of being unhappy with it. So, I decided to take the advice that most people give -- which is make small changes, slowly. So that's what I…

Just addd you. I'm a mom of three kids - 7,5 and 2. Weight loss took a back seat for way too long. Now I'm back on it!! Hope we can be supportive to each other!!

Just added you. I've got about 15 more pounds to lose after having my 3 kids so I hear you on that!

like!!

Ouch! How long did it take you to get back to regular work outs??

That is great info!! I actually had a smoothie with keifer, blueberries and greens powder this morning. Thank you!!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I am totally inspired to keep going. I was so ready to quit. The pain gets overwhelming sometimes. But I can do this!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a tough one!!! I would initally say foot because not being able to walk so well has really been crappy and I can't use my hands to do things like pick up my 2 year old because I have crutches. BUT I bet hand would be awful as well. I can't imagine what I would do without my internet and typing!!! So, I think final…

OMG, AIR PUNCHING!! I can totally do arm cardio!! Why didn't I think of that. Thank you!!!!!!!

Awesome! Thank you!!

How is your diet? I'm finding that my eating can really add bloat. Not even sodium, just a lot of pre-packaged eating. I'm hearing more and more about clean eating being the biggest defense against big belly. Also, any alcohol? Last year, I lost 20 lbs and then gained it all back by simply adding wine back into my diet.…

Alcohol on the weekends is my biggest problem too., I read an article that said alcohol is basically the devil when it comes to weight loss. I guess it has something to do with stopping the liver from correctly processing fat?? When you drink, your liver has to deal with the alcohol and can't deal with the fat. Sooo... it…

I'm in. My friends IRL and I are doing this before our girls beach trip. So I might as well join you here!!
