"The Pretender" by Foo Fighters or anything from Linkin Park's Meteora album. Not too picky as long as it blasts my eardrums out.

Congratulations! It's a long road...I'm getting close to hitting that mark (again) myself. Best of luck and keep it up!!!

I've heard of this...When I heard of it, it was called the "Whole Food" diet. It's kind of what I'm doing and it works pretty well for me.

I'm already OCD about counting calories. I may have to be even more careful and really look at what I'm eating. Thanks for making me think about it!

No loss is insignificant. Congratulations! You're doing an awesome job! Trust me, those losses add up pretty quickly and before you know it, you'll be at your goal! Keep up the great work:drinker:

This may just be me, but I've noticed a trend. If I spend an entire day binging on food that's terrible for me, I'll think to myself "Well, I'll go back onto my diet tomorrow....." and I think that the next day after I've overeaten as well. And the day following. And the day after that. It's a hard habit to break out of. I…

I know you've worked so hard for what you've accomplished! Congratulations and keep up the hard work! You don't have much farther to go until you've reached your goal!:flowerforyou:

Mark Dacascos=awesome. He's also involved with martial arts, which will help his chances a whole bunch.

Please call your doctor or go to a clinic of some kind. Stop rationalizing things that it MIGHT be and go get checked out so you can know for sure. The people here are obviously very concerned about you, as am I. Go to the doctor. Now.

I will! I'm a student teacher, but I think that counts on some level, lol. :bigsmile:

You look freaking awesome! I'm incredibly impressed! Congrats and keep up the fantastic work!

It's a problem I've had since I was a kid. I don't get the urges that most other people get to go to the bathroom, so when I was younger it wasn't uncommon at all for me not to go for five to six days. As an adult, it's been much better, but it still can cause problems on occasion. The fruits and veggies thing: Yes. I need…

Congrats! Keep up the great work! You're doing a fantastic job!

Wow. It's been a while. Teaching band camp for 14 hours per day kind of keeps you busy. So I weighed in and yeah. I'm pretty proud. Start weight: 270 Previous week: 239.3 This week: 236 That's 3.3 pounds. I'll take it. To make things even better, it looks like I may meat my September goal by not this weigh-in, but the…

Please don't do it. Most people have no idea how truly bad diet pills are for you. Don't. Seriously. If you have questions about diet pills, PLEASE talk to a doctor. (S)he may be able to point you in the right direction, or decide if they're even required in a case like yours (which it doesn't look to be so, because you…

Do it. It's fantastic. Yesterday I got a bit of a beatdown (it was my first day of the new week) and I loved every minute of it, instead of wanting to give up like I usually would. It's really awesome that your husband would do it with you too. Motivate each other when one of you is having a bad day. But yeah. Just do it.…

Wow. I'm kind of ten pounds heavier from being in exactly the same boat. You look fantastic! Thanks for the posts. I doubt I'll be quite that far along in eight months, but who knows?! You really give me something to hope for. Keep up your fantastic work!

Weigh in day.... Last Monday: 245.9 This Monday: 241.6 Heck-to-the-Yeah. I've reached my first goal a week early! Boo-yah!

This week's weigh-in....241.6! I met my goal for band camp one week early, so I've modified my goal down to 240 (perhaps more than that at my current weight loss). I have lost 28.4 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I know it will eventually slow down, but I'm still excited that I'm seeing results and working hard. Good luck weighing…

I am so freaking in.

Don'y give up! You've done such a wonderful job so far! I've been through a similar situation, though with my father instead of my husband. I can completely sympathize with not caring after something like that. But this change isn't about him. It's about YOU. And you can do it! You have been doing it!! Keep up your awesome…

You look fantastic! Seeing your progress is truly such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for posting that.

I used to do the whole cheat day thing. The problem is, I wouldn't STOP cheating. I would do well, eating 1500-1700 calories per day six days a week (that's with exercise calories). Then on the cheat day, I'd eat 5000 calories. So I had to cut those out completely. It was undermining everything that I was trying to…

I started it about three weeks ago (I'm just starting week four) and I figured I'd hate every minute of it...I've been pretty lazy in the fairly recent past....But I love it! Seriously, do it. It's worth every calf-burning minute. I went from barely able to run for sixty seconds without wheezing to running for 3 minutes…

...I can feel ribs under there. Granted, it's when I'm laying down, but I can still feel them, darn it! And my jeans seem to have grown a bit. I can get them on without unbuttoning or unzipping them. I must have picked up the wrong jeans at the laundromat.:wink:

I used to work at Subway...A total of two years, I believe. The wheat bread is not dyed brown. It is actually wheat bread. Trust me. When I was back in the back doing vegetable prep, I had nothing better to do than read the labels on the boxes that the bread was stored in (I really hated working there) and the first…

This post brought a smile to my face and made me realize how many times I do the whole "Well, I'll start back tomorrow" bit. Thanks for making me think about my habits.:happy:

If it takes me over two hours to clean, I usually log it. I'm not just talking about picking up, but scrubbing, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, dusting, ironing, etc. If it takes any less than that, I usually figure that I didn't burn enough calories. If cleaning hardcore is something that you do every day, then it should…

I confess that I had to make my husband hide the scales because I spent most of last week naked hopping on and off of them to see if there was any change in 30 minutes (which surprisingly there usually was). I confess to plotting the demise of my puppy when he gives me the puppy eyes and makes me feel incredibly guilty…

Congrats ladies and keep up the great work!
