I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 150, about 5lbs into being in a normal BMI. I weighed 135 at one point when in college over 10 years ago and although I fit into a size 9/10 (i've always been heavy in the hips) I was REALLY riby and I don't think I want to get that skinny again. I am larger boned so I think 150 is a good…

Thanks everyone for your reply's, you are all superstars!! :glasses: @NicolePatriot - that picture was taken in a small town called Mauston in Wisconsin this past september. It really is quite pretty up there! :)

South Park + Shake Weight = awesomeness! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0tVw8_CFMA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axBIbZKp8r8

I miss miss miss living in Texas! I lived in Sherman and I want to go back so bad, can you tell? :)

I used to make mini pizza's all the time with english muffins and tonight I made some but tried to make them "healthier" this time. These ended up being 278 calories and so yummy!! I watch my sodium so trying to find low sodium ingredients to use on these wasn't very easy but they are out there and just as tasty. I also…

I was curious about this too because I recently purchased some frozen chicken (without checking the label of course) and realized when I went to log it that there was over 400mg of sodium per 4 oz.!! This link helped explain it a lot: http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/nutrition-101/sodium-in-chicken-00412000070041 I…

*raises hand* and i have no idea by how much cuz i didn't track today... oh well, at least i can focus 100% on my diet again until next football season (go bears!)

if you use firefox, check out adblock plus, it is an add-on you can get for it :)

don't know what i'll be eating tomorrow yet, but it probably won't change too much.... but anyways.... DDDAAAAAA Bears!

I have seen others on this board who say they have lost weight without watching their sodium. However I AM watching my sodium because it helps SO much while trying to lose weight but even then there are days when I do go over. I will gain up to 5 pounds because of the water retention and it takes a few days to get it off…

There is a "conservative" C25K program that is on the beginnertriathlete.com website that I bookmarked a while back. They take the standard 9 week C25K and expand it to 7 months. Might be a good route to go since it is so much slower and the first month is JUST walking. Plus you'd finish it before October too. :happy:…

I've been riding since I was 13 or so and have owned a couple of horses when I was in high school and college. I rode dressage at the time and showed at a bunch of local dressage shows in the Chicago area. When I got married and moved to Texas I sort of got out of it (and of course gained a TON of weight). My husband…

Another helpful tip, watch your sodium intake. If you have a day where you go way over your sodium chances are the next day your body will be retaining fluid. This happens to me a lot when I have a high sodium day. My scale will show up to 3 lbs gained because of that and it takes me a couple of days to get it off. Check…

I know you've had a TON of people reply here, but you are more than welcome to take a look at mine. I've had a few slip up's through out the last month, but generally when I am doing good I eat "real food" and am never hungry. take a look! p.s. you or anyone can friend me if they wish

I thought they were disgusting. Not necessarily the taste, but the texture. Too rubbery for my palette. I made a shrimp alfredo (using the hungry girl recipe) and had to force myself to eat all of it. eeeewwwww... I've heard a lot of people love them, but some don't because of my reason.

drools... :love: *bump*

There is a "conservative" C25K program on beginnertriathlete.com that I bookmarked awhile ago. It takes the normal 9 week program and expands it to 7 months. Yes considerably slower, but it might help if you need to work into it a little more. Check it out.…

Hey guys! I'm a fellow rider as well. I started riding when I was around 13 years old and owned a couple of horses up until my early college years. I took several years off (which is when I started gaining weight, go figure) and a few years back I purchased an unregistered Quarter Horse named Benny. I haven't ridden him…

Hi Posh et al!! I'm joining :) I am weighing in at 232 with a goal weight for 222 for valentine's day, though I am shooting for more than 10 lbs. :bigsmile:

Towards the top of the Message Boards page you should see a link that says 'My Topics'. That will show all the topics that you have posted in and a very easy way to navigate back to topics like this one :happy:

hey guys, i'd love to join you in this challenge :smile: 30 lbs by St. Patty's day is right around the same goal weight I have for myself since i'm shooting for 36 lbs lost by then. A little bit more than 2 lbs per week but i think it's something to shoot for. If i make that weight i'll bee in one-derland at a weight of…

You are an inspiration!! I'm only a little bit down in comparison to how much I have to lose, but I am already feeling how positive my changes have been. Congratulations on your success and hard work. You look fabulous and I'm sure you will have no problem reaching your goals. :happy:

Welcome fellow Chicagoan! I'm out in the western suburbs. :happy: You'll find a lot of great people and support around here, don't be afraid to hop right in and feel free to ask questions whenever you have any! This site has been life changing for me since I haven't been able to lose this much weight on my own in the last…

checking in at 238, 3 lbs down from last week :happy:

soy sauce has 902 mg (give or take) per tablespoon and the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of regular salt which is 1180 mg (give or take). Dividing that into 4 servings would be about 520 mg of sodium per serving. And that doesn't include any of the sodium that may come naturally in the other ingredients depending on what…

You look fantastic!! Your progress is amazing. Imagine what you'll look and feel like when you reach your goal!! Keep up the good work :happy:

This SOOOO how I was. I was fat all through high school up until senior year when my best friend and i went on diets. I lost 60 lbs and i got myself down to a 10/11 (from an 18). From my persepective now I only WISH I could have felt skinny then because I was! I look at my pictures from my skinniest and I am shocked to…

Cool topic! It is neat to see everyone else's :smile: I'm surprised some of these things are still on my top foods list. I haven't eaten some of them in quite some time!! Breakfast: Drink - Campbell's V-8 100% Vegetable Juice 5.5 Fl. oz. Can Chobani - Greek Yogurt, Raspberry, Nonfat Hodgson Mill - Apples & More Muesli Bear…
