Ugh...well, I somehow gained 2lbs despite the working out every day, staying low on sodium, and drinking plenty of water. Grrrr...oh well I guess. It'll happen. Other than that...there's some personal BS going on with the MIL, but it gives me the extra boost I need when I'm boxing/kickboxing to push harder :happy:

mmmmm hummus....I think I need to pick some up today!

At 238 I'm still in a size 22! I haven't tried a size 20, so I guess take it with a grain of salt. But yeah...still wearing my 22's and they aren't falling off me.

Bump! I'm curious to see the answers as I will be starting before too long.

Do NOT take them.

I really couldn't tell you what my favorite lo-cal snack or meal is. I usually just end up making MY portions lo-cal or something. I have an interview today, so I'm super excited. Haven't worked out yet, as I've been getting pumped for that...

I actually have an interview for a new job tomorrow! LOL I didn't even know it was GHD until you said it. I'm superstitious about some things, but this isn't one of them. If the weather is really bad I'd just stay home.

I miss Yoga soooooo much! I'm hoping I can get back into it. I do some on the Wii, but it's just hard for me without an instructor.

Not a good day(as far as my outlook and mood goes). My calories are looking good, and won't be able to work out until later tonight. My favorite workout...although I don't do it all the time, Kickboxing.

I've been on Mirena a little over a year, and your cycles probably won't be normal while you're on it. I don't even get one anymore. I'll maybe get one day of (TMI) a brownish discharge, and that's it. As for the retaining water, I know it would've been my TOM a week or so ago(don't remember exactly) because I was SUPER…

Topic Ideas: Favorite Exercise/Workout Favorite Low Cal food/dish WHY are you trying to lose the weight What do you do for work Today is going pretty good. I went over on Fat, but I needed a coffee. Dealing with a...witch of a mother in law is TERRIBLE! I needed to vent and over coffee sounded like a great idea. I will be…

I can't say if it will effect your weight loss...BUT if you do drink too much water it can create an imbalance in your elektrolytes, thus, causing harm.

I'm up in Northern Minnesota. I took a school trip in which we drove down to Orlando, so we hit uite a few states. Myself, I've only been to the Dakota's...not much of a traveller. I'm at work and will do my cardio later tonight. But I plan on playing the Wii...might do JD2, but for sure probably teh Wii Fit. Possibly some…

Hahaha...Yeah, I feel if I take EVERYTHING out of my diet, I'm setting myself up to fail. It's a treat, so it's not like I eat pizza all the time, but I work the rest of my calories around it.

I don't really stay away from bad things (as I'm about to order Pizza Hut at work). I just try to input everything in the morning, that way I know how much I can eat. The worst thing for me on my off weekends are drinking water. I just don't ever seem to get thirsty.

Hey there and welcome! Looks liek we have very similar goals/starting weights. (Feel free to add me!) Let's see...I've lost almost 26 lbs so far. I don't know that I would TECHNICALLY go down a size, but I haven't really tried yet either. The big thing I noticed was a pair of my pants, that should have fit going by size…

I did my cardio! I walked for an hour, and cleaned for an hour! LOL not what I usually do, but since it was a busy day today I figured that was good enough! Burned somehwere around 500-600 calories! I'm under my calories for the day as well...so that's good. Oh...and I lost the 2lbs that I had put back on last weekend!!!!…

Bump! These sound DELICIOUS!

I actually just quit counting my sugars. It made me sad to see how I routinely went over. The biggest thing you need to think about is...Where are most of your sugars coming from? If it's fruits/veggies/whole grains...IMO that's not a big deal. If they're coming from processed items, cut those out.

Mines about a 60lb difference. It was an 80+lb difference when I did it less than a year ago! I used to ALWAYS say 140. But each time I had to renew it, or when I lost it...I would add a bit onto it.

One night a few friends and I were sitting around the table eating some McDonalds. All of a sudden, the chair underneath me broke! I'm pretty sure it was because the chair was so old and mistreated(it was older than me, and had been repaired several times in the past because I would rock/wiggle around so much on it when I…

Ahhh gotcha. I was a little confused for a second. I knew the Twist...but I guess just didn't put 2 and 2 together.

I love Jodi Picoult! I haven't read anything of hers in a while, but definitely a GREAT author. I'm a big Stephen King fan as well. I'm also reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo right now. It's pretty interesting. Takes some time to get going in the beginning, but well worth it in the end. I will admit, I'm also a…

I still have a little bit of working out to do...and this week as been HELL. But...I'm gonna stick to it and not let it get me down! Weight was 244.6... :sad: Up 2lbs from Friday and up .2 from Monday...UGH

This may be a dumb question...but twisting?? huh??

That was my only side effect with Birth Control as well...only I was on the ring and it only happened once.

You're making me jealous! I'm dying to start, but with all the icky snow and freezing cold temps lately...NO WAY. I'm a wimp and staying inside where it's warm...until spring...then I'll do the C25K

The first time I ever had these we called the Hobo Dinners...mostly because we cooked them over a fire. But they are DELICIOUS!!!

It is completely normal to lose quite a bit at first. Most likely, it's water weight that you've lost.

Sounds good to me! I'm only friends with a few in this challenge, but anyone else is welcome to add me!
