great work!

Watch out for the SALT and anything with a lot of sauce! I had DELISCIOUS chinese food last week, and THEN I counted calories...over 900 in one meal...ee-ouch! You are very smart to plan ahead! have a great lunch!:flowerforyou:

I am in Victoria, BC...we're sweltering today!

Me too! I am jumping on this band wagon! I commit to 5 hours a week or more..: I need the motivation! Thanks for starting this! X Heatherflowerforyou:

I go for berries too.. RIght now is a great time....have a big bowl of strawberries, blueberries or blackberries...or mix them all in together with just a teaspoon of real sugar . let it sit for a few minutes and as the sugar breaks down, it get kind of syrupy...filling and deliscious! Even with the sugar it's pretty low…

THanks for this post! Here's me: Did I stay withing my nutritional goals yesterday? no, but then I exersized llike a bugger to balance it out...so YES! Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes. What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Did a home workout ...and discovered I wasn't so tired after all!, Funny that! What…

I have exactly the same problem.... lately I have been finding that brushing my teeth after dinner and /or chewing a mint gum helps.

Real honest to goodness maple syrup (not Aunt jemima or Mrs Butterworth's) is also deee-lish on Oatmeal...you should try it! Free advice from a Canadian girl!

Please. please STOP! You will only end up hurting yourself. Please stop!

YOU can do it! WE can do it together! :heart: Heather

Yay! I did it! I stayed within my calories AND i enjoyed a small piece of my son's birthday cake. Yay for all of us you made it through... Truly, sometimes I feel like I am taking this one day at a time. Thanks to those of you who were with me today! Here's to tomorrow! :heart: Heather

My Mouth is watering! can't wait to try those at home....maybe tonight! thanks for sharing!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Wow...I am feeling the love! we really CAN do this can't we?? yay! I am excited! xxHeather

I plan on walking to and from work.....that is all the excitement I can muster today. Maybe after I do that I will feel like something more energetic in terms of a work out. Somehow I ate a 500 calorie breakfast and need to work that off.... Have a wonderful day! Heather

I go for Flax seeds, vanilla almond milk and a teaspoon of real brown sugar (to me the extra cals are worth it)

...But I have decided to get off my butt, while watching my fav shows on TV. We don't have any exercise equipment at home, so I have been marching on the spot (sometimes with hand weights). I feel a little goofy, but what the heck, it has to be better than doing nothing. Does any one else do this? Any thoughts on how many…

FANTASTIC!! way to go!

We are all in this together, brother....Let's make it happen!

I am so grateful for many, many things, but especially today I am thankful for: my gorgeous, loving supportive husband my wonderful delightful if slightly annoying children my health and their health pomegranates and water Thanks for reminding me to take the time to feel thankful....I am truly blessed. Heather:happy:

I am not in any way affiliated with this, but this short video really spells out weight loss very clearly in three strategies that work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JzJQefOOyU Heather

I've done it too... I know how you feel. What about a little evening exercise to boost your spirits and burn some calories? Some times everything looks and feels better after a walk around the block. Hang in there....You are still the same wonderful you and tomorrow is another day. :flowerforyou: Heather

OK! it's a beautiful morning here on the west coast.....I will walk today for at least 10,000 steps. GO Purple!!:happy:

We can do this!! :flowerforyou:

Not the best to think about on New Years Day as we go forth with resolutions, etc, but.... I am curious to know whether folks schedule "cheat days" or "cheat meals". I have a long way to go on my weightloss journey and it is completely unrealistic to think I am never going to fall off the clean eating wagon. I need all the…

I feel you! we are in this together!! :flowerforyou: Heather

what an inspiration! thanks for sharing your story and your pics....I hope to do the same at this time next year! Happy New Year!!

woooHOOOOO! way to go! keep on doing what you are doing! :flowerforyou:

oops! Sorry Fitness-CHick....didn't mean to repeat your point..... Slow typing fingers at this time of night! :wink:

Don't forget there are good oils too! It helps with absorption of nutrients. If you don't' get enough, you can slow down your progress I just started reading "Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes" Jennifer McLagan...quite fascinating really. in a nutshell, the author believes that it's the 'bad'…

great ideas! I should had read it this afternoon when I had a 400 calorie "mini binge" ....really should just get rid off that last of the holiday baking!!! Luckily not too much damage done! heather
