i am only on day 3 level 2 of 30ds and i haven' t lost any weight - i am exactly the same, to the tenth of a pound- BUT i have lost inches already. at 149, i fit into shorts i bought when i was 135. so i count that as a victory, and can't wait to see the results when i am done! ETA: i also do 30-45 minutes of cardio,…

sounds intriguing... i will have to try this!

Flattered! And wondering why I am not helping... :drinker:

i try to eat healthy (doing better than i did before mfp!) but i don't deprive myself IF it will fit into my day.

same here!

I walked 3 miles, then did day 2 Lvl 2 of 30DS! Resisted the soda I am trying to quit, and the chocolate that sounded so good! I also had a small NSV- i fit into some old shorts. Even though I still weigh more, I have lost inches! :wink:

I really hate "I could care less" " Don't get your panties in a bunch" and "Put on (or pull up) your big girl panties"-- this one I particularly hate. I have on my big girl panties, and that is probably why I am not so happy right now!

and most likely made out of cast iron, which is black!

51 :drinker:

THIS^^^ South Dakota is gorgeous! I used to live there, and I miss it!

I lost 10 pounds really quickly when I first started at 1430 calories and some walking (about 30-45 minutes 4x week), not eating back exercise cals and then plateaued. I lowered my cals and kept up with the walking and lost 2 more pounds (still not eating back exercise cals), then plateaued again! So I lowered my cals…

Southern California is beautiful! People bash L.A., but there is so much here. You have beaches, gorgeous mountains and deserts all in just a short drive away!

500! yay, we did it! :tongue:

something else they say to do for picky kids is to add pureed veggies to sauces. pureed cooked carrots in spaghetti sauce, pureed cauliflower in cheese sauce, etc. might work for adults too! i also like to add a bit of chopped wilted spinach to spaghetti sauce (it looks like seasonings). good luck!

Henry, Paula and Gabriel :) i love my rescued kitties!

Vons (safeway), Kroger, or Trader Joe's, mostly. Farmer's Markets when i can get there. If i need gf food i might have to go to a specialty store or Whole Foods- but they are too expensive for everyday shopping! Oh, and I miss HEB! I am jealous of all you Texans! :smile:

that is fantastic! what an inspirational story! :flowerforyou:

no, i am saving to buy all new clothes when i hit my goal! although i do have clothes that i have held on to from when i was smaller, and i use those as my motivation. it is always nice when one of them fits, but it's slow going! i am kind of enjoying seeing how big my old clothes are getting on me. i am using my belt as…

Best article ever!:flowerforyou:

Actually, you would want to SOW your wild oats, not SEW. :wink:

pasta roni noodles romanoff flavor. i miss that! koala blue (?) drinks they were like carbonated soda. i loved the passionfruit/orange flavor! blue bunny cherry yogurt frozen pops. i used to get them when i lived in south dakota, but can't find them here in cali :frown:

i love it when restaurants put nutritional info on their menu! makes life sooo much easier! or even on their website.

i go to just over my knee. but i never shave my thighs- they don't need it!

Carlos Santana perfume for women. yum! i get compliments whenever i wear it! spicy and sexy!

:drinker: i will definitely have to try this! thanks for sharing!

i am still on lvl 1 so i can't comment on jillian. but as for natalie- YES! whenever she thinks the camera is not on her, she cheats. i think she looks like a drugged up robot on lvl one, always with the weird smile and glassy expression on her face...

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, 2 cups cooked rice (i prefer brown) and 8 oz salsa. mix together and serve on a tortilla with optional sour cream and shredded cheese. also can add some corn. this is a favorite in our house!

'74! anyone here, feel free to add me!

quinoa, pronounced keen-wa, is the only complete protein grain! it is small, and round. kind of resembles couscous. it is a good replacement for rice and it is gluten free.

i have never been told i look like any celebrity, although my hubby gets mistaken for jack black frequently!
