It is so great meeting everyone!

The way I figure it, you owe yourself more. There are 2.2 pounds in a Kilo gram, so you owe yourself at least 6 charms! Don't cheat yourself.

Hi, My name is Holly and I am going to be thin! (lol) I live in Mansfield, Ohio When I was little everyone said "What great eyes she has." One day at a family gathering (I was about 3) I went up to someone and said "Look at my grape eyes." It has been my nickname ever since. For the record, my eyes are hazel.

I will have 30 charms! I am 5'9" and that would put me at 154lbs. Before the weight crept on I was at 125. I will be very happy being at 154. I love the idea about rewards for keeping the weight off, that is excellent. And yes Reesie, a separate topi for progress is a good idea.

Oh wow, thank you! I am definitely going to check those out! I need a lot of patience too!

I don't think potatoes are bad unless you eat too many. Here is some info: Potatoes contain more potassium than any other fresh vegetable in the produce department - even more than bananas. One potato has almost 900 milligrams, which is about 20 percent of what you need every day. Potassium is important for body growth and…

And you will! Just keep working at it!

I got a bunch at Joannes too, I missed the good job one. I also bought some at Hobby Lobby. Good to have them ready for when you have earned it. I also like that I have something to look forward to.

Its a great milestone. I was so happy when I got below the 300's. You will do it in no time!

That would be a great one to find!

**** :smokin: **** TIP 3 JICAMA! its a great snack. Sweet and crispy. You find it with the turnips. It is so good for you. Jicama is a very versatile vegetable that contains a high amount of vitamin C, is low in sodium, and has no fat. One adult serving of jicama, which is equal to approximately 1 cup of cubed jicama or…

@ Underthecherry.... seems like you will only have to choose between 2 because you will get 2! @ Krystie ..... I missed seeing the Hallmark charm bracelets. I bet its really nice. I will have to check them out. I have been getting my charms in craft sections. So far I have an Angel for my first one (to watch over me for…

It is so great to have so many great people in the group. We will do awesome and we will have a nice token for our efforts (besides the fact that we will look amazing!).

That is great about your family bracelet. My dad used to travel a lot or work. He would bring my mom a charm every time. I used to love looking at her bracelet. It is great to have you as part of the group!

I have 150...well now 132, to lose. So not, not too many charms, If it takes 2 bracelets, then so be it. But I think it will work fine.

Don't beat yourself up, it will only set you up for failure. The great thing about this is you can eat what you want. Its about choices. If you choose to eat a bagel, then you can either exercise more or cut calories elsewhere.

**** :smokin: **** TIP 2 Don't only weigh yourself, measure yourself too. I had 2 weeks of no weight loss, but I lost 4 inches around my waist and 3 inches from my hips.

Welcome Cindy. I love puppies, but they are a lot of work. I have 2 grown dogs.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the info Krystie, that is good to know.

Have you tried Truvia, it is so much better for you than splenda?

A chamilla bracelet is like the pandora bracelets.

Welcome Kristers! I need to catch up and get more charms!!!

I am not sure on the chamilla bracelet. Something i will have to research. I am just doing a simple charm bracelet for myself. But everyone needs to do one that they will be happy and proud to wear! Welcome to the group, great to have you!

Everyone is welcome. I am very happy you guys joined. I would have sent an invite, but I am lazy. Lol, not really, just at work and hard to do.

Oh that is great to hear. I started doing charms with my friend Reesie. They aren't expensive, but what a feeling of accomplishment when you get to add another charm!. I am finally under 300 and am so excited to be getting in shape. Welcome to the group, we are happy to have you.

Hubby just ordered me the Polar.. FT4 . I have read a lot of reviews and this one has gotten the best for accuracy and ease. Plus is syncs up with your pc. I am not supposed to know he ordered it, but he left the page open on the tablet.

I was looking at your food diary and I know why you ate the Fruity Pebbles. There doesn't seem to be much fruit in your diet. When you don't get enough fruit, your body craves sugary sweet stuff. Add some fruit, it will make a huge difference.

For one 3-ounce serving of venison, you would have approximately: 130 calories 26 grams protein 2.0 grams of fat 67 milligrams cholesterol 0.9 grams saturated fat 3.5 milligrams iron 26 milligrams magnesium 338 milligrams potassium 3 milligrams zinc 11 micrograms selenium 0.24 milligrams thiamin 0.4 milligrams riboflavin…
