We were supposed to go see them in Co Springs last night! :-( Hopefully we'll get to see them next time they come through Colorado! Love that "Chicken Fried" :-D

I don't it matters how much you have to lose, you have to want to be healthy! No matter if your "fat fat" or "out of shape" choosing a healthier lifestyle is wonderful and commendable! You'll love the sense of community and resources available here at MFP and I welcome you to your new outlook on your life :-)

Sometimes my work puts me at the grocery store all day too... you should seriously invest in a pedometer! I wondered how many calories I was burning walking up and down all those isles all day. It really lights a fire under your *kitten* to walk more every day especially while doing every day tasks (like parking in the…

Is Biggest Loser on the Instant Queue now?! I've had the same 30 Day Jump Start DVD for a month!

Oh and also, Bob says "it's not a fall - it's a trip... and after you trip you get right back up again" I think we should start a mantra: "WWBD" What would Bob do ;-)

Like our good friend Bob on BL says: "Don't get down if you get in a rut... just do what you did on day 1... start again... eventually you'll get there" Hang in there champ! YOU CAN DO IT!

How can any food be calorie free? I picked up the marshmallow dip once and it made me gag a bit...I believe I've tried the BBQ Sauce and it was ok... From their website" Q. How can Walden Farms Calorie Free Specialties be so delicious without sugar, fat or carbohydrates? A. We use Concentrated Natural Flavors. Walden Farms…

Those moments are the best ;-)

Jif Natural is our crack. It's a great way to disguise the fruits and veggies I some times avoid eating... Like a teaspoon of Jif Natural on half a green apple or on some celery sticks - so yummy! I just have to retrain myself from eating a spoonful while I'm preparing my snack. Viva PB!

So confusing, isn't it? I think the closer to nature the better off you are (think sucanat (natural sugar) and unrefined), but I live in a modern world and unfortunately I can't always afford much less take the time to seek it out for every meal. Especially when most packaged foods contain HFCS or refined sugar. I'm a…

People who say "yep" instead of "you're welcome" when you say "thank you"!!!!!!

You know, I bet this explains the several recipes I have tried that come out just awful. If only I could go back in time and make a decent batch of 100 calorie cupcakes! If anyone else was wondering about the confusing musings of ounces, here's a some good links: http://www.lemelange.com/conversion_chart.htm…

I fully believe stress f's with your poundage. Take some time to relax and just enjoy being you, no matter how much you weigh :smile: The more you let go, the easier it will be. Hang in there lady!

I just found and started using http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/ because, like many, I wanted an easy way to calculate the nutrition info of my recipes. I love the interface. I hope it's pretty close to accurate :ohwell: !

One day at a time... like with smoking - NEVER QUIT QUITTING! Never Quit Quitting Unhealthy Habits. One day, it'll stick :wink: Oh, and, use this board. It's the best lil' motivational group around!

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No. Not at all. Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? I don't know if I had any....? What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Spent some quality time with my nephew :-) What would I have done differently? Not ordered a pizza at Old Chicago... an individual is over 800…

(I just wanted to add too, that you're niffty at 50 ;-)

You'll love it here! Welcome.... stay strong... and use us for support :-) I get mine here all the time! You can do this lady! The world is your oyster and you are its pearl! Now let's eat some Kashi Honey Sunshine and burn some calories! Go! Go! Go!!!!

Let's trade hubbies. Haha - Just kidding! :wink: But thanks everyone for commiserating. I know it's not easy for anyone, and you're right - we should be proud no matter how we may slip up. It is a brand new day! *sunshine*

Hey Ladies... I just posted my own "crap I did it again post" so I feel vicariously helped here. It seems we all have bad days :-) I like the advice about planning out your week. In fact... I'm going to do it right now! MFP Peeps are the greatest!

Thanks all! Super helpful as always! :flowerforyou:

I feel so bad because I don't even know my own family's tradition. I don't think we've been very orthodox... either way...Happy New Year!!!

Oh you're gonna love it! There will be triumphs and there will be tears, but keep with it and you will succeed here! This support forum is the best place ever! It's like your new workout buddies :-) Welcome!

I thought I imagined it too! My daily is 1300 and I am no where near the weight of these contestants. I can't imagine living off that little of food, especially when your exerting so much energy! What happens when they go back to a normal life?!

You made my whole day! i've been looking for a way to have my cupcakes and eat them too! :flowerforyou:

Hang in there Nanc. I lost nothing for months and then suddenly 10 pounds came right off! It's like boiling water... it'll happen when you stop looking (so long as you get your numbers right :-) Try changing your workout routine... challenge yourself more... or adjust your daily calories. My friend lost 70 Lbs on Weight…

I am so proud of you! You look amazing! You must feel amazing! :-) We are BIG Biggest Loser Fans in this house... I find so much strength in Little Abby. I don't know how that girl wakes up every day much less smiles. Like Jillian said, "I can be stronger".

I've been wanting to get a pedometer so bad. What would you recommend for a pedometer-newbie?

It took me almost 5 months to lose 10... I still feel accomplished :-) Slowly but surely is right!

LOL - best investment you could ever make!
