I'm glad I friended you! Thanks for this! Have a great day!

Looks great!! :) Thanks for sharing! :)

Oh yeah...check out this blog! http://www.wearelosingitblog.blogspot.com Love this girl! :)

Reading (and keeping) a weight-loss blog has really helped me! :) Here's mine: http://www.skinnygirlsetfree.blogspot.com :) Now I need to go check all of these! Thanks for sharing! :)

I understand your problem. There were tough weeks for me. Adjust your pace and/or repeat weeks if needed. There is absolutely no shame in doing that. Make sure you're fully prepared before you advance, or you'll most likely find yourself struggling even more in later weeks. Just do what you can, girl. Sometimes when I…

This could be really helpful! I'm kinda poking along right now - and sure could use some extra motivation! I'll send you my info! Thanks!

I've worked out a.m. & p.m. the last two days! :) I'm having a super-motivated week! If it shows up on the scale next week - awesome. If not, I know I did my best!

I packed a grapefruit & Special K bar. Not sure which I'm going to have.........hmm.

Coke Zero? LOL

This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing it! :)

So true! I WANT friends like this! :) That will look at my diary....give me suggestions...healthier alternatives...it's just constructive criticism. And yeah - I hope that my "friends" will be receptive when I may from time to time point things out to them! Well said. Thanks! Jo P.S. Don't make your diary public unless you…

Get the herbed kind & spread on a lower calorie tortilla. Add a little bit of pizza sauce & maybe some turkey pepperoni & microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Roll it up for a quick little pizza roll-up! Love that stuff!

Funny...I've been working on a blog post about this! I'm with ya - I've never been skinny. I was thin as a very young child - and it was before I realized what skinny was! It's hard to imagine... Thanks for your perspective! :)

You can do it, girl! :) Welcome to MFP! :)

Here ya go! I haven't tried this personally, but remembered a WW leader talking about how good it is! 2 cups ketchup 2 cups diet coke minced garlic (to taste) diced onion (to taste) Let me know if you try it! :)

I SOO need to measure myself. I had a bad weigh-in this week - despite working out really hard this week. I'm trying to figure out the actual culprit. However, I realize that I probably would've seen a difference in inches this week if I had kept up with my measurements. Thanks for the encouragement!

Wow! This is a GREAT recipe! I was amazed at how good it really was! :) To answer the question about fat - mine had only 6 grams....BUT, I made it with 2% milk instead of 1%. It's just what I had on-hand.....plus it was about to go bad. My hubby keeps forgetting that we're on SKIM MILK. LOL I'd like to try this recipe with…

I'm sorry you're feeling the way you do, really. We need support from others. It helps sooo much. However, not to get all Dr. Phil on ya or anything, but, you need to find your OWN motivation. Don't let your motivation revolve around someone else. If you have a goal - and want to meet it, YOU'RE gonna have to make it…

Don't beat yourself up! The first couple of weeks are hard.......man, I'm in my 5th month, and it's STILL hard at times. Just get right back on board at the VERY NEXT MEAL and keep going! :) You can do this! :)

I'm drinking it right now... I would say I use Crystal Light in 8 out of 10 glasses of water. Hasn't hindered me any! :) Whatever helps you get in that water..... chug it, girl! :)

Way to go!! :)

Ha! My doctor told me recently that he recommended walking over running because it burns more FAT(score!). Apparently running burns through your glycogen before dipping into the fat - whereas walking (at target heart rate - 65%) will be burning fat! I walk & run, and BOTH burn calories. Like someone said earlier - it just…

Well hello, new friend! Welcome!! I would be glad to join/add you!! I can totally attest to the fact that having support helps! It has helped me IMMENSELY! I am in the same boat as you - I have a long way to go. I AM going to get there! :) You can, too! :) I look forward to hearing from you! GOOD LUCK! Jo

Very glad! Haha!!!!! HOWEVER...........it could make us WAY more conscious of how much we consume, right??? I've thought about making my food diary public for that very reason.......ya know?

I definitely recommend a heart rate monitor. However, you could try this site: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc It takes your weight into account. I just calculated the kickboxing I did this evening as aerobics (high impact). The result was pretty accurate to what my HRM calculated. Someone could create a "Zumba"…

That is AWESOME! Good for you! Keep that attitude - and good luck with your future training!

Everyone's taste is different....so it's hard to say. Personally, I run best when I'm listening to fun, upbeat, or nostalgic songs. Think up the most random songs that make you smile and/or laugh - and load those! Google the top 100 songs from the year you graduated high school or some other random year like that to get…

I'm a dork! Haha! I honestly didn't think of that! Oh well. THANK YOU! Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!
