I added u, I'm 9mmprincess :) I don't think I could do the running benchmark, I have issues with my knees - but I might follow it anyway and see if I can do some of the other ones.

todays my free day too, just had a really good breakfast so going to try to take it easy the rest of the day. Although I really want barbq, lol.

The most important thing is that you stuck it out :) Day 2 was fine for me... for some reason today I'm having cravings though. I can't eat anymore til tonight, I have just enough calories for dinner and dessert, so I need to tough it out. Tomorrow is free day and there is really NO excuse for cheating a damn day before…

Stayed within my limits, even went out & had a Heinie & still made it fit :)

You're doing great geek, 80 lbs lost, that's awesome. It does get harder the more you lose - both physically and mentally I think. I've been having issues with motivation, but with summer coming I just keep reminding myself : I want to wear tank tops and shorts this summer, I want to wear tank tops and shorts this summer,…

good luck with your knee surgery! I would really, really like to get to 145 by June 1. I keep bouncing between 151-155, and it's getting really annoying. I want to be under 150. todays weight: 154

great job! I know how tempting it can be. I did good today too, no cheating and it's past 11 pm, so I"m going to go get in bed soon so I won't be tempted. I don't have it set so that it shows up when I complete my food diary for the day, but I'm going to change that so I can be accountable. Onward to day 2!

Welcome ladies :) I need to do some kind of butt challenge, just need to google and find a good one, unless anyone knows any good ones? I'd like to do something that will show me some kind of results in a month, even if it's just a small change. baileyang what's the plank challenge you're doing?

I've lost 111 lbs, and it's taken me 22 months. 25 lbs to go to goal :)

still debating between Trader Joes Lemon Chicken Arugula salad, or homemade sloppy joes made with lean pork and manwich sauce, and a side of broccoli. leaning towards the sloppy joes.

I am definitely happier. Is life perfect - no. I still get sad about any problems I might have. But I never feel less happy because of how I eat now. I've learned how to make meals that taste good and keep me within my calorie goals, so it's not like I"m walking around wishing I could eat this or that or feeling deprived.…

*pops into thread* You can do this. I did. Feel free to add me :) *pops out of thread*

Thanks, I'll try the Argan oil :)

bump. are we allowed to bump? if not, my bad.

Yes, cutting out soda or any drinks with calories really. I drink water all the time now, it's just normal to me, whereas before I would only drink it as a last resort, lol. I have a glass or two of iced tea a week now, that's it, it's a "splurge" for me now. Made a huge difference, I probably took in at least 600 cals a…

you're beautiful, seriously :)

you. look. fantastic. :)

Great job!

For years, when I got dressed I checked two things - make sure my shirt mostly covered my butt, and make sure it covered my lower stomach in front. In the last couple weeks, I haven't been stressing abaout it - I think my butt looks ok enough not to be hidden, and as long as I'm wearing pants that aren't loose, my lower…

Congrats! Not that long ago I hit size 16 and was happy too - Now I'm in 12s and they're loose. Keep at it!

you've done amazing, congrats!

I used to love Coke. Now I have it maybe four times a year, and when I do I can't finish one cos it's just too sweet. ^I used to read other people say that and think they were full of ****. But it's true... it's just way too sweet for me now. I like it once in a while with a ton of ice on a hot day - tastes amazing. But I…

You just gotta push through. That's been one of the biggest lessons for me. Just don't quit. No matter how crappy you feel, you WILL feel better. Don't cave and eat that tub of ice cream, because the pleasure it gives is fleeting and the unhappiness (from guilt, weight gain if you continue to eat like that) outweighs any…

^this. For friendship, for a business partnership, ect - yes, appearance doesn't matter. But for a romantic relationship? People can't help what they're attracted to, and they can't help what turns them off. It's not like someone is thinking and decides "you know what? for the heck of it, I won't date short people". I…

I have about 35 left to lose - I'm at 158 right now and I want to be at 125. Friend requests welcome - I've been coasting a bit since xmas and I need to get back to work.

That's a good point - I do wish there was some kind of vetting and cleanup of the entries. Or maybe some kind of "verified" star system - entries that are verified (that yes indeed, Sara Lee hot dog buns have 120 calories) could show up at the top of the search results when you search "Sara Lee hot dog buns" - an entry in…

Yes. It took time though. Like, a few months. I was used to eating at least five pieces of pizza in one sitting, and for dessert I'd have 2/3 of a pint of Ben and Jerrys if not more. Less just made me feel like I didn't have enough. Now though, I have one ice cream sandwich for dessert, and I'm satisfied. honestly though,…

Yeah, I would. No more than 10 bucks a month though. But yeah.. it's just been too helpful for me with my weightloss. I have no desire to switch to any other weight loss logging app or site, so if I had to pay (within reason) to keep it, I would. For me it'd actually be worth it. I hope they don't do that though. Although…

Wow, these look delicious. Definitely trying this :)

you've done amazing and you look beautiful :)
