You look amazing!!! Congratulations!

Tennis & Fitness Bootcamp

I don't eat additional calories that I burn through the normal progression of my day (steps). I assume that's mostly accounted for in my daily allotment already. However, if I exercise I eat some or all of those -- especially with a 1,200 calories/day limit.

North Austin. You can add me if you like!

Austin, Texas

I'm in north Austin -- looking for walking/workout & fitness/accountability partners.

Add me. Accountability is GOOD!

Oh yeah! Doylean reminded me of a valuable early lesson. Log *before* you eat. I went to the movies, had a small popcorn (I wanted the tub!), then logged it hours later & nearly had a stroke!! 800 calories and a tanker load of fat & carbs.

Hi Mike - Welcome to MFP!! This is a good place, filled with great people. We cheer each other on, help each other out, hold each other accountable, and lend a shoulder or a kick in the @$$ when you ask. =) I agree that 135 lbs in 9 months is a lot. Not that you couldn't do it -- you could!! But your health & skin will…

WOW! Congratulations!!

No fad!!! We're all just out enjoying summer to its fullest and so many people are focused on getting kids ready for school, etc. Also, I got to a point where I was obsessing over food, exercise, etc, and recently I spend my time out enjoying activities rather than sitting here obsessing over what to do/not do. I'll likely…

You've been working hard! Good for you. Your whole life will change for the better as you focus on yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing you at your target weight!!! :flowerforyou:

Spicy Kra Prow (Spicy!) It's basically Thai chicken stir-fry with a kick of heat, and I add a cup of broccoli florets too. :love: Sauteed fresh ground chilies, garlic, onions, bell peppers, green beans, grilled skinless chicken breast chunks, and basil. YUM!!!

I don't drink cows milk, but I use it regularly in cereal, recipes, and such. I use 1 or 2%, and usually Organic Valley. Specifically, if it's Organic Valley I buy 1%, and if it's Horizon Organic I buy 2% - it's about taste and consistency. The issue that drove me away from non-organic milk was all the hormones they shoot…

Nice abs! But obviously as young as my son. Nope

It is obvious that your post was to alleviate some of this emotional burden and you didn't ask for solutions, but I have a thought. Perhaps a sweet surprise may soften your sister and remind her you love her and want the best for her. Something like a pretty flower arrangement delivered to her door out of the blue, or a…

I would eat a sensible dinner worth no more than 350 calories since you burned so many calories. Otherwise, you'll wake up starving in the morning and overeat. Good luck - and welcome to MFP!

Hi Scott. I am located in Austin, Texas, as well. Should you ever need a walking/exercise/activity buddy, let me know! Congratulations on all of your amazing successes, and most importantly the ones that focus on your well being and the well being of your relationships. Bravo! Suzi Queue

Skinny Cow (no sugar added) ice cream sandwiches do it for me. I get the yummy chocolate outside and also the creamy yummy inside, and it's only about 160 calories. So good! :happy:

Warning - some of this may sound corny, but it's what works for me. I was told starting out that the best exercise is the one that you LIKE, because you'll actually do it. So I've done a lot of different things and determined that I love to play tennis, kayak with others, hike, mow my grass, work in my flower gardens, and…

Congratulations! You look fabulous and ready to take on anything!! :happy:

Go to Settings at the very top of the page, click on it, then click on diary, and scroll to the bottom to set privacy. I don't think there is anything wrong with going under - I just wouldn't go under 900 often.

I'm in. How long are we doing this? I can do it for 30 days.

I like the idea of 15lb increments.

I buy solid white (albacore) tuna in water, drain it, crumble it, and then add diced pickles and add a bit of the pickle juice for moisture. Lately, instead of making a tuna sandwich and having it with chips, I've started using the chips (cool ranch Doritos) as a scooper for the tuna (no bread). It's yum!

I prefer a big build so that I feel protected, tiny and girly. [/quote] Plus nice pecs too - so handsome & sexy under a shirt or sweater!

Only eat 50% or higher chocolate and do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred with me =) I just started it today. You can get the DVD on Amazon and they'll give you the instant download for free so you can start right away. Good luck! (if you add me as a friend, remind me in your message that you're going to do the 30 day shred).

Amazing! You're such an inspiration! So glad to see you on your feet LIVING life to its fullest!
