Awesomeness! Keep up the great work!

You might want to try eating a healthy snack before you go out. If you are going to be drinking try to stay away from the fru-fru mixed drinks (my fave!) Go with vodka/whiskey and diet soda..type of stuff.

Hard call. I would try to doing different strength training first. Surgery seem so extreme for me. I have flabby under arms too and am trying my best to make them not. If not oh well. that is life.

Just use lower fat beef. I made chili last night. Was good except for the sodium level. Gotta cut that back.

OH those free ones are the hardest. Good for you!

oh Jeez, I would have thought you were talking to me! So I decided to start on a Sunday...HAHAHA I just said today is the day.

"oh it was only half a doughnut, it doesn't count" Yeppers, that was me! Now I log EVERYTHING!!! Makes me realize what I eat and don't eat. Logging what you eat isn't just for the calories but how healthy you are eating. I need more veggies!

It is so hard to get up the nerve to talk to one of "those" girls when you look like you just rolled out of bed in your baggy shirt and shorts trying to hide everything.

If there are 3 servings in the can, and you are adding the whole can. Then you times the amounts by 3. The calculator in the receipe section will divide the calories and such for you. For example, my recipe calls for 1 can of tomato soup. There are 2 servings in the can so 2 x calories, 2 x fat, 2 x sodium....etc. Input…

Tomorrow is another day. Just try to do your best when you go out to look at all of your options and rethink what you would normally choose. I ate out on Saturday at Ruby Tuesday's and chose a salad and the grilled chicken with grilled zuccini. Normally I would have gone for ribs or pasta. Take your time and try to do the…

I am fairly new to this lifestyle change and its to the point where I really weigh out my choices. Do I want to excercise for an hour just to have that doughnut???? I find that I am not craving that "bad" stuff as much. I am still having it occassionally and know that I have to work it off. You should really figure out…

Oh she usually cleans her plate on her own no problem, it is when we have some sort of casserole that she picks out just the chicken and potatoes, or eats the beans and leaves the carrots...lol then there is a plate of little pieces of carrots, thats what drives me crazy. :happy: Then she wants more chicken and potatoes…

We had homemade pot pie and my daughter doesn' t like the crust so instead of me eating it like usual, I gave it to the hubby to eat since he is one of those people who eat everything and stays skinny.

Sexy is a state of mind! This is to see the changes in your body only. I took the picture but won't look at it for a while. Until I think that nothing is happening.

They eat what I fix. If the hubby doesn't like it he can eat Ramen noodles...LOL They are both really good about eating healthy anyway. It was just me that had a problem.

I don't go to the gym, I work out at home so can someone describe Captain Chairs, Turtles and Dragonflags please. The others I have heard of. Thanks

I want Hot (sexy) Ripped Looking muscles Not like a professional body builder. Thats my difference.

I am and it isn't easy. I have to really plan out my meals for the day. I have been excercising more so I get a few more calories but I am trying not to eat back ALL of them. I am doing slimfast for breakfast, then I plan out dinner to know if I have to have slimfast for lunch or if I can have a sandwhich or something…

Without excercise it says you should be eating 1650. So just eat 1650, and whatever calories you get extra from excercise don't eat. At least not right now. Try to keep your calories more consistant and see what happens for a couple of weeks. A 500 calorie deficit each day only gets you 1 lb lost for the week. Also what…

Try to only weigh once a week so you aren't driving yourself crazy. I was weighing every couple of days and getting frustrated.

I am lucky that my 4 yr old daughter prefers fruit and veggies to just about anything except chips. Even then she doesn't get but 4-5. She eats healthier than I do. Kids will eat what is offered to them and learn to love it. She loves lima beans and brocolli and peas. Most of which she eats frozen. Do I care if it is…

Yep complete turn off if they are rubbing together and catch on fire from friction! :laugh:

1994 5'8 weighed around 150-155 and wore size 12 pants because it was all in my *kitten* and waist. Currently at 183 and looking to get back there again and not have flabby belly after kid.

Yep sure, when you chew the starbursts they glue your teeth together and therefore you can eat no more! Perfect.

Some thing that has been working for me is that after dinner, I brush my teeth. I was told this once and it seems to keep me from grazing in the kitchen and taking a quick sneak eat.

OH Thanks! I will have to go to the Scranton store, it isn't that far. I can never get shoes to be comfortable so this may be the way to go.

I would like to be at 150ish. I am one that people are surprised at how much I weigh at 183 because I apparently carry it well..lol I just want to get rid of the flab and be healthy. Not so concerned with what I weigh just how I look.
