awesome! I have been trying to break it since July and very frustrated. Now that I know what the actual problem seems to be and am changing it, I feel so much better. I am back on my way and can't wait to join you down under 3! :-)

I keep bags of cheerios (or whatever my cereal kick of the moment is) in my desk drawer as well as compostable paper bowls and utensils (so i don't feel so bad about not using reusable stuff) Then I only have to pour the milk i want in a thermos and grab a banana and run out the door. I do have a scale on my desk so i can…

I would lower the sodium significantly by chosing no salt added tomatoes, and canned green chilis separately. (you can always add more spice if you are missing the rotel's spice) and I would use no salt black beans. Without running the numbers, I would bet that drops the number down a lot. And if you need some salt you can…

There has to be a better way of getting these to be in "my topics" without having to do a random reply on the thread, but that is what I am doing here right now. :-)

Can you tell your ratios? I like the idea of doing this and just scooping it into a thermos and eating it at work. I have been keeping the instant oatmeal at work for a while now because it is easy. However, I have been wanting to move to steel cut oats, except for the time it takes to cook them. Putting them in the crock…

lol okay I am at work and will definitely not read that, but I did hear some talk show Dr tell a bunch of guys that. Hilarity.

Okay I have no desire to be as small as you but go you! Something jumped out in your post though that gave me a giggle. I was walking to the restroom one day and saw the very smallest glimpse of my clavicle. It was like it was playing peek-a-boo with me, but my mouth dropped open. Never in my life has that happened. lol!

It's very funny because I finally gave in and bought a new pair of pants. I have been avoiding this solely because I don't want to buy new clothes for every size I go down. As it is getting colder, though, I am having to give up my capris for more winter clothes. Every time I wear this new pair of pants people tell me how…

Posting on this thread to get it in the list of "my topics." This is making me want to start the c25k more than i did before! Awesome!

We have talked about this around the office. When one of the girls who was on the diet program I used to be on was dancing around because she had "finally" gotten below 200 pounds. I was shocked. I think the fact of the matter is that nobody knows what weight looks like. We obviously all know what it feels like on us, but…

Well I have a goal to be under 300 by Christmas, or the 1st of the year at the very latest so this works just fine for that. I am three pages too late but will play along too! :-)

sweet! Thank you. That is what I have been doing (sort of... never quite to zero but that is what has been in my head) and suddenly panicked that I was doing it wrong.

Thanks for this, and I think I have my head wrapped around it, but I just need to clarify one in thing in my brainzzzz) If I am eating my "goal" calories every day (let's say 1750) and i work out and burn calories (let's say 250 calories)... if i eat 2000 calories, in theory I am good right? I understand that everybody's…

Last Christmas I got to mom's house just as heck fell on to the earth. Meaning, she and I were quite literally trapped in the house for 3 days. (seriously... couldn't even open the doors because the snow was so high) I had started my "program" before Christmas so I was already on my way but I had baked. (Dude... I am in a…

I was eating 4 oz of pasta on a fairly regular basis. (Whole wheat rocks!) I have wonderful bowls for this. Plenty of room to mix in the sauce and all that. I measure it out, put it in baggies, and go visit my mother with my food ready to go, but for the cooking. And I use her plate. Smallish plate, the way plates used to…

A friend of mine used to tell me that every time she flushed the toilet she waved good bye to fat. From my understanding, there is really no other way for fat to leave your body. :-)

2 oz is the usual serving size, and that generally comes out to about a cup, from my experience.

I have lost 60 pounds since the beginning of the year, and have constantly lamented that I seem to have lost it all in my face and boobs. (Seriously... i couldn't have lost ANY of it in my *kitten*?!) I went from a DD to a C in a flash. I always wanted to lose some of it but not before the rest of my body...lol. Anyway, I…

I'll play... i am probably going to be mad at you because I have way more to lose, but I promise to try to pout only just a little. Is it okay that I am not 40something yet? I have about 11 hours to go. :-)

gah! I wanted to read this whole thread but realized it id crazy long soooo. :-) I actually use this name when I want to be relatively incognito on the googles. I used to belong to another site many moons ago with my real name or my "usual" screen name (that anybody who knows me on the internetz knows and could easily…

Flatout also has a Rosemary and Olive oil "fold it" which is about the same thickness as a pita. They make great crunchy pizza crusts. I have the foldits with just about anything.
