Congratulations! :D You really look amazing!

Thanks, guys. :3 I didn't want to fall into a trap and do what I often do--fall off the horse. XD I think I'll go with the salad! We don't go out that often anyway (maybe once a month), so it probably won't hurt.

Well said, dude. :3

Welcome! :D I hope you achieve your goals! My mom lost a lot of weight when she was in her 30s by subbing salads into her dinners and doing 30 minutes of calisthenics a day. She'd make a side dish for me, my sister, and my dad and then would just have a small portion of an entree with a nice tasty salad. She was around my…

Ahhh, gross! Now you got me thinking about that! LOL Blegh, I don't even like brushing my teeth after eating chips. *shudder*

Encouragement is always appreciated! :3 You know, it's funny how fast time passes. It'll be next year before we know it, and I hope that we're all a lot closer to our goals. We just gotta hang in there (oh, and survive Thanksgiving when it rolls around!)

Eye of the Tiger, baby.

Well, when you see those snacks ask yourself--what's something you want to do once you're thin? For me, it's bikini shopping. I'm gonna treat myself to an expensive, all-the-bells-and-whistles bikini, and then I'm going to STRUT down the beach, looking at all those hotdog venders like "Nope. Not interested. This feels too…

I discovered it 2 days ago. Fresh @ Easy store brand. SO DELICIOUS. I like it better than regular milk. I always had a problem with the sourness of milk, and really didn't enjoy drinking it. Almond milk, though? Oh, I LOVE it. I had a glass of it with my lunch today. I haven't had milk with lunch since middle school! <3

Whole fat cheeses for me too here. Whole fat mayo too--I can't stand the low fat stuff... Um, and real butter. Oh, and egg yolks. Those are the best part. :3 But you know, when you eat the serving size, those things aren't TOO fattening, so it won't break my bank to have a TBSP of mayo in my tuna with a little slice of…

I was one of those ladies. XD I'm 5'1, and as a kid I was thin as a rail. My mom used to be horrified at how much I could eat. I out ate my FATHER sometimes (and he was a construction worker who needed upwards of 3000 calories a day!). I used to eat entire packages of E.L.Fudge cookies, and she'd warn me "you're gonna get…

You could also be gaining muscle. This happened to me in high school when I was trying to lose weight for prom. I hit about 10 pounds above my goal and just sat there--and then GAINED weight. What I didn't realize was that while I was losing fat, I was gaining muscle, so the scale wasn't really telling me the whole story.…

Thanks for the support, guys. :3 I added you to my friends. I'm pretty committed to keep this up! I'm feeling great today--a lot better than I have in a while. My husband and his brother went and got Carl's Jr., and I was able to say "no thank you" when they asked if I wanted something. :3
