I buy the prepackaged stuff because I think it's a little cheaper. I really like the Aldi's Fit and Active brand. YUM. Sorry your day has started off rough! Know that I am sending cyber hugs!

Never heard of it. Googled it and it doesn't look like it's available in the US.

HAHAHAHAHA I shortened the word Pomegrante :) Lesson learned! LOL thanks for the laugh!

What are you denying yourself? Maybe your body is feeling that you are trying to give up too much with those first few days? I try not to deny myself anything but instead eat items in moderation. Can you give yourself a cheat meal instead of a whole day? And plan it in advance.

I agree :( But they do sound yummy.

Nice work!!! I'm working down from a 14 now! And loving all of the fun smaller clothing!!

Be sure to tell her that you appreciate her! And the job she does!

How about setting small goals? Can you aim for drinking 64 ounces of water each day for a week? When that becomes a habit, try making sure you get 3 fruits and veggies each day. When that becomes a habit, set another small goal.

Zumba dvds :)

I think it totally depends on your body shape and where you tend to lose weight. It also depends on exercises you are doing. Not all of us lose weight in our tummies. I went from a size 22 down to a 12 but I can't honestly say I don't know at what weight loss "milestones" I dropped sizes. I do a lot of toning with weights…

No way! I would get off of it immediately. Doesn't sound healthy at all. The second you try to go back to regular food, you're going to put it all back on. I think doing anything like that is not realistic for sticking with it for the rest of your life. Make small changes to your diet and you're much more likely to lose…

I have it DVRed. Those kind of shows keep me on the treadmill and stationary bike longer than other shows. :)

low fat popcorn..... hot tea

This is my favorite sports bra http://www.championusa.com/Champion/Products/Women-Champion/Women_ShopByCategory-Champion/Women_SportsBrasSale-Champion/CH072.aspx The best part is that it is on sale right now! I too used to wear two bras to keep the girls contained. My friend had reduction surgery and gifted me her newish…

Good for you for trying out the personal training sessions. Does the trainer stretch you at all? When I work with a personal trainer at my gym, he stretches me out afterwords. But I love that burn! Let's me know I'm doing something good for my body! Stick with it!!!

Maybe you aren't eating often enough? I just had a bowl of Multi Grain cheerios (110 cals a cup) and 1/2 cup of skim milk for my afternoon snack. YUM

I'm always thrown off when the schedule changes too. We've been iced/snowed in too! We might venture out tomorrow. Just get back on track tomorrow!

ROCK ON!!!! I had no idea it was so simple!!! Thanks so much! I will be able to make a lot more stuff and not guess at the calories!

Welcome! My best advice is to log your food, even if you didn't make great choices. I fall off the wagon and don't log food and then I feel bad. Good luck!

I generally lean toward grilled chicken and steamed veggies when we go out to eat if at all possible. Salads can be a good choice too but you REALLY need to watch the cheese, salad dressing, bacon bits, etc. Good luck!

How about lifting weights or crunches and pushups?

I don't have that much to lose but I wanted to offer support. I encourage you to set smaller goals. And give yourself non-food rewards such as buying a new books, getting a manicure/pedicure, etc. I have found this really helps me to have something to look forward to! For the most part, I only let myself watch tv while I…

I have taken place in the last few Biggest Loser competitions that the Community Center has in my area. I think it's important to remind yourself that it's okay if you don't win. And don't be too cocky with your "I'm going to win" attitude because that just fuels others to work harder. I found this out the hard way. I…

I only like really cold water so I have to keep ice in mine. Try to make it a contest to see how much you can get in before lunch time and then again in the afternoon.

Welcome! My best advice is to come and read in the Community for inspiration. I don't come and read near enough! but when I do, I'm always inspired and feel a lot less alone on this journey!

nice work!!! Last pic, are you in St. Louis?

I wear two sports bras whenever I do any exercising. I have found the trick to be to wear a tighter one and then the one on top has more coverage. The tighter one will almost seem too tight at first but then put a regular one (Target Champion is what I use) over that one in your regular size. Good luck!

sorry double post
