I lose it in my face first, then my thighs and hips...meaning I will still have a big belly...and will still have to wear the larger size pants, even though I will look like Humpty Dumpty :( Oh well...when it's all over and done with, I will look great, and that's all that matters!

Taco Bell - Fresco menu...but it's FULL of sodium.

bump :)

-3 this week...total of 15 :)

Where do you work? Do you work in a place where you can walk or get some mini exercises in during your shift? As far as nibbling, make sure you have healthy snacks to nibble, and it won't hit you so hard. I make little baggies of fruits and veggies, along with a sweet...but I try to keep my baggies under 150 calories.

I dropped 10 pounds week 1, 2 pounds week 2, and 3 pounds week 3...Feb 1 is my one month marker, and I'm hoping to drop another 2-3 before then. Your body will slow down to a healthy weight loss, as long as you continue to eat healthy. I was told by my doctor that the first week or two are normally a kick start, because…

THANK YOU!!! I will figure it out soon...hopefully!!!

Yay!!! My starting weight is 195 :) My goals are... 1. Drink more water. 2. Take my dog for a walk at least 2x a week, instead of just letting her out in the yard. 3. Utilize my SIRIUS for dancing, since I can't yet afford the Wii games :) 4. Try a new veggie!!!

LOL!!! Me too! I've lost 60 sticks...and I hope it keeps falling off!!!

I can not personally relate, but I think my fiancee is going through the same thing. He is 6'4", and around 500 pounds, and he is "the big guy." I think he worries that losing weight will affect his sense of humor, and that his friends will enjoy being around him less. The truth is, his friends worry about his health, just…

We watched it this morning before coming in to work, and my fiancee, who is hovering at right around 500 pounds started to cry. He didn't want to watch it, he only DVRd it because I wanted him to, and then he had to sit through it. I think it really hit home with him. Maybe this will be the motivation he needs to get…

Sorry so late, just got home from work. 2 pounds for this week, total of 12 so far in the challenge :)

2 pounds :) for week 2 :) total of 12 for the challenge :)

Actually, I read something this morning where this was a proposed change made by an astronomer. Apparently Astrologists are not going to use it? I don't know. I just know my personality is more Aries than Pisces, so I will choose to stay a Ram.

According to mine, I am now a Pisces...ummmmm, no, still an Aries!!!

I asked for a different antibiotic, but since my infection is actually in a bone, they needed to give me something strong enough to penetrate. I guess I will just take it easy, walk short distances with the kids after work, and keep from doing anything crazy!

I generally eat something high in protein before and after my workouts, but I am not a professional, so maybe others on here have some other ideas.

Gorgeous dress! and Gorgeous YOU!

AWESOME job!

10! So excited, but actually hoping it tapers down a bit, I don't want to lose too fast!!!

Mid challenge weigh-in, 10 pounds lost...but I'm not sure it's fair because it was technically week one for me.

And make sure you drink more than 8 glasses of water! I would start to dry up if I didn't get between 12 and 14 glasses of water a day!

My mom tried both South Beach and Adkins. She GAINED weight on both. Some diets are not meant for some people. This may be one that doesn't work for you. If it doesn't, try something else, but don't give up. Good luck!

:laugh: LOLOL!!!

I normally find it at Wal-Mart and Save-a-lot. I prefer the taste of turkey, and I think it is better as far as calories go. But, either way, they are both better for you than beef :) I use mine as a beef substitute in ANYTHING you would put ground beef in...burgers, chili, tacos, spaghetti, lasagna, soup, casseroles, even…

YAY!!! I would love to show this post to my fiance. He is closing in on 500 #s and has sleep apnea really bad. I told him that I wanted to see him lose weight to be healthier, have a longer life with the kids, and to hopefully get off the machine (it makes it hard for him to cuddle with me at night), and he told me that he…

I believe in Soul Mates, but not in love at first sight. I new I liked my fiance when we first met, but I wasn't in love with him.

Headed to WholeFoods after work!

LOL! I don't think they use weight here in VA either, but my face is actually thinner than it was when I took the pic. I think I weigh 20 pounds more, but my face is thinner. Odd. When compared to my old MI license from 8 years and 1 child ago, I look like someone put a helium nozzle in me and blew me up!!! I think there…
