I took a look at the ingredients/nutritional facts and I agree...some not-so-good-for-you things in there... Plus it doesn't quite have enough calories and protein to be a sufficient meal replacement. If you care about the inside of your body and not just the outside, there are definitely better alternatives. I have…

Anywhere between the 10-14% and definitely prefer muscles to skinny. :)

Same here. I still HATE to waste food. It's such a hard habit to break...

My husband is going to Japan soon too. We are hoping to be able to go with him, but still don't know if we can yet...if so, it will be my first time on a base as he has been on unaccompanied orders the past 4 years. I'm so nervous/excited about it. This is my second time at this. I started October 2010 and lost 28 pounds…

That's excellent progress so far! Sounds like you have a good handle on it and are willing to put in the time to reach your goals! Congrats and good luck on the rest of your journey that's yet to come! :) I am going to hit my 30 day mark in a few days too (second time around anyway) and hope I have some good results to…

I feel the same way. I hardly request adds...it's usually people requesting me as a friend and then I add them and support them and try to comment and get to know them and they never say one word to me...I don't get it. I always just want to ask them why they ever added me in the first place?!

Yep, Polar is great. I have the FT4 and love it. :)

I think someone like that is in denial and you could say something, but I don't think it will make a difference. People have to want to change themselves and if they don't, no matter how much you care there is nothing you can do to make them...it's unfortunate. I have a sister that is the same way. Whenever we get together…

There are a few that are very close to being tied, but the top of my list is definitely Tom Welling! Although, if I could marry his character Clark Kent instead...I would. ;) And lol to Jared "Pananaki". Hehe...it's Padalecki. :D

Isn't 24 hour fitness the gym previously used by Biggest Loser? And if I'm not mistaken, there have been episodes where the trainers visit contestants at home and go to their hometown gym and train them!!! So Bob can train someone there, but someone who isn't even a certified trainer can't help a friend...wtf?? Maybe…

@albion 38

Why does the cinderella room have a stripper pole?! lol

Hey, I would take that as a complement then. ;) Nothing wrong with looking younger!

Thanks for the input. I plan to go to the gym eventually when I hit or get close to my goal weight because I want to be sculpted, strong, and work on my body fat % when I get there, but I am a long way from there and still have a lot to lose, so it sounds like the stuff at home is good for now. ;) And I guess I will know…

That's amazing! I have been within 5 lbs of onederland 3 times and just can't make it...I know this time I will and can't wait to be there with you!!

Thanks! It's definitely a HARD battle to win!

Oh my gosh! I had to do the same thing to my daughter. She woke me up crying one morning saying the tooth fairy didn't come, and in my head I'm like, "Oh crap!" I quickly came up with, "Well, sometimes the tooth fairy runs out of money because too many kids lose their tooth on the same night. I'm sure she will come…

Great info. Thanks!

Hey ladies! Sorry I have been MIA. The past week has been a rough one. Last Wedneday night my daughter got the flu. Then Friday night I got it (which was the night before my trip to Cedar Point...ugh) then Sunday afternoon my son got it! I went straight from the flu into a cold and am still feeling icky. I have barely been…

Tara- I want that too! And I am definitely still shooting for 199 by the end of October, so we will see what happens...hopefully it will be good! :D Catherine- Thanks and hopefully you hit the 160s too! That's my ultimate goal and I can't remember being that since junior high! lol. I don't remember the last time I was…

Tara- I like the badass. ;) I will definitely be sticking with it. I know you know all about the weight coming off in ITS OWN time...just frustrating sometimes. I am so close to getting under 200 so that is making me really impatient right now. I just want to get under once and for all and never look back!! :D I know I'll…

I have my diary planned for today and am at about 1500mg of sodium, under calories, going to do a modified version of 30DS tonight, and planning to get 14 cups of water! :) I'll let you know how I did.

Trying not to let it bother me too much because I…

Tara- Yeah I need to keep some fast meals on hand for when that happens because like you said, Chef Boyardee or frozen meals are still better than fast food! ;) Great job on the challenge. You almost made up for all your sleep! I sure didn't.... VERY awesome job on your WI!! :) I don't blame you for wanting one WI. Way…
