Tonight, dinner & drinks at a pub, so probably a big splurge. Saturday morning is my double - BodyPump and BodyCombat. Saturday night, all-you-can-eat sushi (planned and fits in, with the exercise!). Sunday, BodyAttack in the a.m., dogs to groomers and dragon boating meeting, then I'll cook some food for dinner and the…

Wow! Amazing work! Love that you did this on your own at home. And yes weights rock!

I exercise several days a week but have always showered daily. I find my hair is more on the oily side so I don't have that issue really. But that's why I can't exercise over lunch (too sweaty & no time to shower). Regarding the calcium, I think you need several servings a day to get enough calcium. I forget the actual…

So sorry....I can't imagine. I have two wonderful dogs who are my children and I know I'll be a basket case when they go. Take your time, you can't put a time limit on your grief.

That is a success story! Good for you.

I am nervous each time I go to step on the scale but it's the quickest way to track that I'm still losing. I can't do every day personally, the fluctuations drive me crazy. I used to weigh in on Fridays but then I changed to Sundays so my weekends would stay more under control.

I make four cups of water's worth (one scoop of grounds) in my brewing machine. I love President's Choice coffee in the gold can (Canada). I take it in my travel mug with half and half until light beige and one Splenda. Every day, never tire of it!

Well....maybe they mean the more burnt it is the less you eat because it's just not palatable.

It sounds like you are really busy but could you up your workouts on the weekends? I try to do at least two classes either Saturday or Sunday, then one class the other day. Admittedly, my weekend food isn't the best either (all you can eat sushi? Yes please - but this day because of the extra exercise I stayed within my…

You look great! The hard work really shows. Congratulations!

Welcome! This is a great site for calorie monitoring and tracking food & exercise. Add me if you like, fellow Canuck B)

I made this with Basa but it would work with tilapia too: Garlic and Lemon Fish It was really delicious! EDIT: Haha, I see the original recipe was with Tilapia! I had changed it for some reason :s

I feel like you're using BroScience to get this number. Show me stats!

I do agree that for me, diet is most important. I could work out for hours every day but if I'm still eating a ton of crap, then I won't lose weight. I feel like, when I'm working out it DEFINITELY helps me lose, because I've worked so hard I don't want to eat all the crap, and I want to eat healthier. So, I believe it's a…

Look for workouts on YouTube that you can do at home. I really think you only need to work on toning and building muscle at this point. I don't think you need to lose more weight.

Sounds good. I'm having an egg white and feta spinach wrap on a spinach tortilla. It's pretty delish, I must say.

I have been there before, several times. I have a friend now who also wants to lose and get fit; we motivate each other and go to the gym together. I feel like this time is different, that I can actually do it (hopefully not jinxing myself :# ). Find some form of exercise you like to do, and buy the healthy foods you like.…

Coffee? Always!

YouTube is great for at home workouts. Look for different things you can do at home. If the weather is good, get out and walk around your neighborhood while the kids are at school. Sounds like you're saying you have some time during the day for this (weekdays anyways until hubby comes home) so I would make the most of it!

Hi, welcome! This site is a great tool to help you track what you are eating and exercising.

I would suggest accurately logging your food. Since you've recently added in a lot of exercise, that's going to affect it. You probably need MORE calories. Try tracking everything really closely for a couple of weeks, and add in your exercise too. You'll need to start eating more, I bet!

I would say, don't force yourself to if you're not hungry. But if you are, then you can eat something without guilt! I love getting those extra calories from exercising, but I try to not eat them all back. I maybe eat half to 3/4 back, if I want. Other days, if I'm not that hungry, then I don't bother!

I work full time and also have a second job. I have made myself a priority. I eat much more healthily than I have been (I love to search Pinterest for easy recipes) and I try and prepare some food, especially for my lunches, on the weekend. I make time in the evening for working out (can you set, say, three hours a week,…

Good advice!

I have a ton of their stuff! Lots of their tops, they wash and dry great. I have some of their pants too, they are also easy to care for. As well, their stuff is on sale often, so, BONUS! Online I find they have different stuff than in store, so check that out. It's free shipping over a certain amount and easy to return…

HA! Yes, that would be one terrible cup of coffee!!

I am planning a shopping trip to Grove City PA at the end of May and I'd love to buy clothes in a smaller size. I also might go away somewhere tropical in the fall and would love to feel comfortable in my own skin on the beach (it's been a long time). But I'm also getting older and I know I should be eating healthy and…

Try those little mesh bags, and wash on gentle cycle with a gentle detergent.

I stayed the same which is not ideal, but at least it's not extra to lose.
