AWESOME JOB! I can't wait to hear how many inches you've lost!

WOW! That is awesome! Keep it up --- You look great!

I love the black bean burgers...I used to eat some kind of rice patty thing, but I haven't been able to find them lately. I'm sure the sodium is high...I've never really thought about that before MFP.

I am right there with you! When I start back to school, all my hard work over the summer goes right down the tube! I'm still eating healthy, but it's so hard to work out!

I just got a scale today and I am really looking forward to using it. I am sure my portions have been way off!!!

Greek yogurt and almonds...

THanks for all the words of wisdom everyone!!!

I know how you feel...I'm eager to hear what others say.

Wow! You DO look much younger! Way to go!!!

I think that is an awesome compliment! I'd take it anyday!!! Great job!!1

YUM! They look delish!

I am doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and it's great! 90 day program...I plan to do Insanity next.

I love Rotel! I mix a can with a can of black beans...YUM!!!

Great job! I am resuming the program tonight at week 3, after completing 6 weeks and then stopping for 2. I was getting very irritated that I wasn't losing weight. It still bugs me, but I guess I'm getting healthier. :) Our weights are about the same...Good luck to you as you finish up!

I took a 2 week break after week 6, so I am starting back today at week 3.

My new fave is plain greek yogurt with a pack of splenda, about a half tablespoon of honey and blueberries...I have to sweeten it with splenda, otherwise I feel like I'm eating sour cream....BLEHHH!

I eat a lot of greek yogurt. It's pretty low carb and high protein. Good luck!!!

I am so glad to see your posts! I was doing BR and fininshed week 6 and quit (2 weeks ago) because the scale was not moving. UGHHH! Now I wish I had stuck with it. I guess I will start back tomorrow. I think I'll probably do a week of 3 and 4 before starting back with a week or two of 5 and 6. Any thoughts? Again, THANK…

Definitely gonna try this!!!

YUMMOOO!!

Amazing!!! Can't wait to see full body shots!!! You are a beautiful lady!! :)

after all i dont have to drag around a scale with me 24/7 but i do have to drag around my butt LOL!!! I needed that laugh! I was working out 6 days a week, sometimes 7. Maybe I just needed a break...I have now rested for 2 weeks, guess I'll start back.

Maybe my body just sucks too!! LOL! That really made me laugh! I kept gaining and losing the same two pounds for about 5 weeks. So, I stopped exercising and have lost 3. It makes NO sense to me!!!

I am way north of Charlotte, almost at the Virginia border, but welcome to NC!!!

Looks delish!

Great job!!! You definitely have "the V" going on!!!

Hi ladies! I am right there with you...currently at 163 (from 170) and eventually hoping to get to 130. You are right, eating healthy is very expensive and time consuming, but we CAN do it! I have been using MFP since July 1st and thought the pounds are coming off slowly, they are coming off. Erika, SO proud of you for…

lesasass --- Your pics in your profile are unbelievable!!! Will you message me what all you do? I would love to look like that once again!!! Believe it or not, I used to! :)

Thank you all for your advice...hope more comes. I am just so frustrated! I am trying so hard to do everything right and make this a lifestyle change...UGH!!! So, maybe 1200 cals is not enough? I swear I cannot find what works for me to lose consistently. Maybe I should try to slowly add in more cals?

I guess in my head :smile: I thought it would be better to lose the weight first, then tone and work on muscle. This is all so confusing to me...
