For the water question: I use Mio to flavor my water. There's so many flavors, it has no calories, and you can put in as little or as much as you want to suit your taste. I drink 1 glass of plain water for every flavored glass I drink. Very yummy though! :happy:

BUMP! :bigsmile: I'm starting to get into spicier stuff, so this sounds fantastic! :smile:

BUMP! :bigsmile: These all sounds amazing! And being a single gal who's not the greatest cook, they'll come in VERY handy!

Gorgeous! Terrific job! you're a true inspiration :smile:

BUMP! Sounds amazing! :bigsmile:

BUMP! Sound delicious! :bigsmile:

The Wizard of Bacon Mary Bacon (Poppins) This post is making me hungry! :laugh:

BUMP! You had me at "Chocolate Peanut Butter" LOL But then, "Ice Cream" only adds to the wonderful-ness! :bigsmile:

I'm currently on a low-estrogen pill and haven't gained any weight. I was told the shot would make me put on about 10-20 lbs. though. I've been on the pill since I was 14 (for other menstrual problems) and never really had any weight problems. Whatever form you choose, PLEASE be careful! I developed a blood clot (2 to be…

I agree with shrednyc - I usually have a banana or some Special K 100 calorie bars. I start work at 8:00 and my lunch isn't until 1:00, so around 11:00 i'm starving! Usually something around 100 calories keeps me going until 1:00. Good Luck! :drinker:

@missmgray - great cheekbones and beautiful hair!

You are absolutely gorgeous! Your before picture is beautiful, but you look so much happier in your after picture. Congratulations on such a fantastic job! :bigsmile:

@determinednoo - Definitely! :wink: @Mandy - Absolutely! Very cute picture :smile:

Wow! Goregeous! Great job and Congratulations! All your hard work paid off. You're definitely the kick in the butt I needed b/c i'm starting to slack.. :blushing:

BUMP!!! Yummy! :bigsmile:

Great - thanks for the suggestions! :happy:

I see you! And I love you AND think you're amazing! :heart:

What good is life if you can't have a treat now and then? Also, I've realized that if you don't indulge just a little now and then, you'll explode later on and end up binging. Trust me - - i've got the experience and the extra poundage to prove it! :tongue:

BUMP :bigsmile: Sounds delicious! I'm just starting to get into spicy/hot things, so you had me at "immense amounts of hot sauce" LOL

BUMP :bigsmile: A low calorie cheesecake? I'm all in! LOL

Oh God, yes! I'm 28 and always get hit on by the older guy, the married guy, or the just straight-up unavailable guy. NOT fun, and the next person who tells me "When you least expect it..." or "Just when you stop looking..." I'm gonna throttle 'em. :tongue: But, I'm not giving up (yet). I'm still young and I'm not actively…

Hi there! I'm 28, joined just over a month ago. Only have 1 friend, so so far but I'm totally willing to make new ones. I put on some weight at college too, but it really piled on as I got older. Now, it's time to drop the chunkage and enter my 30's as a sass(ier), curvy girl. Let's go! :smile:

Oh my gosh, so cute! The eyes on the little one in the last picture - beautiful! Definitely gonna be a heartbreaker. :wink: My motivation? Psh, sadly it's watching tv and seeing what I wish I looked more like. It takes me feeling badly about myself to get me going when I'd rather give up. At least- that's what I'm working…

Gah, i'm so bad at guessing ages! @clohessy - i'd say mid 40's and i love your sense of style! From the dress to the necklace and belt - so cute!

BUMP :happy:

LOL!!! That's awesome. It's like me - I work in a police station and the White Out handheld dispensers are like crack, I just can't have enough. And when the officers take mine, I freak out!

TONS of pens, markers/sharpies, brightly colored Post-Its, White Out, paper clips. And lots of dust, no matter how much I try to clean I just find more. I should get some more Lysol wipes and go to town one day! :smile:

Krizzo - Same here! I despise feet. My mom took me for a pedicure once and it was the most un-relaxing experiences i've ever had. I always tell people - my two most hated things on Earth are mushrooms and feet. Why? Because mushrooms are fungus. Know where else fungus can grow? On feet! I know, I'm weird.. it's just part…

2% milk! I never thought an 8 oz. glass would cost me so much. And these protein shakes I make or drink - it's insane how many calories I drink away. Once my current gallon of 2% milk is gone, skim here I come! =)
