Yesterday I was stressed... a lil bit... ok a lotta bit. I'm a stress eater. So I decided to have "a couple" cheespuffs... and next thing I new the bag was gone and my steak in the oven was done and I was like UH OH........... Yep I ate the steak too - afterall I needed the protien! And today is a new day :)

Don't stress it. I've only lost about 50lbs total, BUT it took 25 lbs for me to drop the first size. I was sooo frustrated with it. After that, the sizes just kept dropping. In my total loss, I went from a full 16 to a nice 4. That's a lot of sizes with most of them only coming out of the last 25 lbs. You can do this! Hang…

A piggie! Been scarfing bacon and pork chops all week :)

My cousin and I talk about this often and both agree that it would be I Will Remember You by Sarah McLaughlin. It's actually the only song I like by her....but so fitting!

...I have learned that consistency really pays off and every day I can see the difference in my body. The more consistent I am, the less I crave those sweets and greasy foods.....the less I feel like a slug when I go to workout....the less I feel depressed...and the tighter my body is getting. Today I will stay on track…

I've always been partial to Rotties - had a couple myself and we had Pitts, an Akita and a Standard Poodle when I was growing up. Right now I have 3 - Xena, Rott that was dumped and starving in middle of the country and we rescued her, Roxy, white pit/boxer mix that we got from the pound and Oreo, a black/white ****zu that…

The VOW.... I know Nicholas Sparks sets out to make people cry, but this left me blubbering and saying "WHY, Nicholas Sparks, WHY?!" Prince of Tides ....it's old but I cannot deal with the suffering those children were put through Radio Flyer.... again its the child abuse

I made this yesterday. Used the Johnsonville Italian Sausages. SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO Goood!!! And it was easy to make :) Thanks for the recipe!

I have been fairly consistent in eating and exercising about the same most days... This has led it to be pretty accurate for me. About once a week I copy what it says and paste it 5 weeks out in my journal so I can remember. Most times it is right on or within a pound or so. The short answer -- I believe it will only work…

A coworker asked me a couple weeks ago "is everything okay with you?". Unusual.... I said "yeah why". Then they shared with me that I had lost so much weight so suddenly they were worried that I could be "you know...addicted...to meth or somthing". When my face looked like I may die right there, they quickly laughed and…

Celery and peanut butter strawberries (halved) small apple cottage cheese cheese stick cashews All of these fill me up pretty well until the next meal. And everything but the cottage cheese can go in my purse and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

I buy some full size wings from a local meat market. Take off the skin (best as I can). Toss on some McCormicks Kick'n Chicken seasoning and rub on a little real butter. Bake them at 400 for like 10 -12 minutes. Toss in Franks Buffalo sauce. Great alternative to satisfy cravings and lower in calories as the sauce has NO…

Ribs 3-4lbs ribtips BBQ Sauce - just cover well, maybe like a cup Low heat for 10 hours. If you want the sauce to stick more, throw in the oven with more sauce on top for 10 min at 450. Traditional Roast 3-4lb chuck roast 1 envelope lipton onion soup 4-6 potato, cut in half 1 small bag carrots, cut in pieces 1/2 cup of…

THIS!!! Often times while on the elliptical I won't even realize I have been steady staring at someone until they give me the look like they think I'm crazy. Can't help it, my gym's cardio area faces the lifting/machine area. Watching those people get their fitness on inspires me to go do it too!

I feel this. I have never had curves, just body fat... BUT since I have been working out with a trainer once a week and he has shown me many new exercise routines, I have actually gained a curve in my waist! EXCITING! We can gain curves too!

LOVE THIS! Last April I was new at the gym.....and embarrased to be at my highest weight.....and scared of all the machines and the people with those amazing bodies that already know what they are doing. I took the offer for the trainer sessions and did once a month for 3 three months. They showed me a routine to last me a…

Hey now...no need to dis my breakfast because someone else gives you advice. Daily meals will vary per person. I have always been a smaller breakfast eater -- but now that I fill my breakfast will protein and fats, I do not feel hungry for a couple hours. When I used to have oatmeal or toast or a banana, it didn't stay…

I have wild food days too -- I just try to keep them to the minimum :) I also find that when I have a crazy food day it doesn't affect me too much as long as I have been consistent the rest of the time. So I always tell myself -- consistency is key. I do calistenics and strength training 3 days a week, kickboxing one day…

1. What's your height/ weight? 5'2" 142.6 currently -- started at 178 2. Do you get REALLY REALLY hungry during the day? If not, was there an adjustment period? NO and I average 1250 calories a day 3. What do you eat to prevent feeling like death (if you answered that you're not hungry)? I have a few things that work for…

This actually sounds like the EXACT speech my trainer gave me - he is trying to convert me to Paleo. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it, but I'm not for it either. I have researched it and I just have trouble with any "plan" that would advise it's okay to indulge in beer from time to time but dairy is off limits. That…

I have attended Zumba at a couple of different places and there were always men in the class. It's a fun aerobic type class that is geared for anyone - not just women. As with any class, as long as you are following along and truly there for the class, no one else will give it a second thought. Just make sure to HAVE FUN!…

I also hold a lot of weight in my tummy - it is my problem area for sure. I do strength training 2 times a week, basic cardio - elliptical 2 times a week and a cardio class 1 time a week (usually kickboxing). It's been about 7 months. I have lost several inches off my waist and hip area and my entire body is toning nicely,…

Your thread is very inspirational. Seeing you from the before you made the committment to lose and then after shows your willpower and desire to get what you want. Don't feel bad when people are looking for a "trick" to help them lose, feel confident in telling them that you did now need a trick to help you. You simply did…

I knew I had to get committed on this weight loss for real when all of a sudden I had so many rolls on my back that EVERY shirt looked horrendous. I just hated catching a glimpse of myself from behind no matter what I had on. Good news, I have officially eliminated all of the back fat rolls, but now I am working on my…

Well I try to eat small meals every 3-4 hours....so usually I have a small snack like a fruit or hard boiled egg right before leaving for the gym. By the time I drive to the gym from work, change, workout and head back toward home I know it will be at least another couple of hours for dinner so I keep snacks in the car and…

I've learned to be thankful when people don't say things... sometimes it can be worse. I'm down 29 lbs and my work clothes were at the point of just falling off. I bought one new pair of suit pants (heck they are expensive and I'm hoping to drop a couple more sizes), I wear them to work and my delightful coworker says…

Set yourself up for succes. A couple things I have recently changed that re-energized me: 1) Planning a menu for meals. Lowered my shopping efforts and made my week easier. I get everything ready for breakfast and lunch for the work week. This has reduced my stress and my ability to deviate and go out instead. 2) Try a new…
