Just wanted to say hello! You are in the right place and have started on the right foot by realizing you can go forward and become a new, BETTER you. :flowerforyou: I am in the same boat. I am currently 177.5 with a goal of 135 to start and I can't seem to get back on track. I have been yo-yo'ing since November when I…

Fantastic job!! :flowerforyou: Inspiration for the rest of us. :D

Great job! I can see a difference in your front facing pictures. Your face and calves are thinner and you just look more narrow. Keep up the great work! Inspiring! :flowerforyou:

Are their any OTHER kinds of dressing!? :laugh: Will have to try this. Thanks for sharing, yum!

Ooooooooooh, that looks soooooooooooo good!!!! Thanks for sharing. Will have to try.

Sounds good.

No problem. Happy to help!! :flowerforyou:

I offered to buy four boxes... any flavor... IF and ONLY IF the little girl scout would donate them. I gave the family ideas such as taking them to an old folks home, mailing them to soldiers stationed overseas, and so on. They LOVED the idea. I LOVE showing my support, but I don't want it on my lips or my hips....…

I've had several out of body experiences, but they're spontaneous. Been happening since I was about 20 (36 years old now). They really freak me out. I thought they were made up or dreams that just felt real until one day... I had a shared experience with my husband... Now I know, without doubt, they are real and not…

Haha. I'm a teacher and I can't wear pajamas out and about even on PAJAMA DAY!! My kindergarten students always ask why I didn't wear my pj's to school on such a special and cozy day and I just tell them that my pj's are old and nobody would want to see me in them. Some teachers DO wear their pj's to school on PJ DAY...…

I'm in So Cal and all the big chains, fast food or otherwise, have calories posted so I assume it's the law. Your local mom and pop shops DO NOT have it posted. My husband looked it up and found out that if the place has X number of employees OR more they have to post calories. I guess it was their way of letting the…

I'm a Kindergarten Teacher in Southern California. This is my 14th year teaching. Most of those years have been spent teaching K and 1st grade, but I also taught 2nd one year, 4th one year, and 5th one year. I really love K and 2nd most of all. My students no longer get uneasy when we read the word "fat." This year, when…

Lasagna Wonton Cups.... (emily bites). YUM!!! Had two of them plus two cups of steam fresh broccoli. Mmm. Satisfied.

BUMPING for recipes. Thanks for the links to recipes, too. Jealous because I'm not a good cook, but I want to start eating better. :flowerforyou:
-
^^ LOVE THIS. Thank you for putting this spin on it. :flowerforyou: I should type that up and display it loud and proud in my house. My husband gets on the treadmill EVERY DAY like clockwork. He swears he HATES it just as much as I do, but says, "I have to force myself because I want to get healthy."

Why not just use ground turkey? That's what we do! We have learned to really like it. We don't buy beef any more.

So proud of you Erin!!! You and I started our journey on the same day... and you are surely winning the race. I must remember to keep pressing on like you, like my friend. I know this isn't a race, but if it were I'd HAPPILY and GLADLY and PROUDLY award you a medal and a nice, shiny trophy. I am SO PROUD OF YOU and YOU, my…

Nice! Keep going. You are doing great!!

Guilty. LOL. Was hoping it was something great. Owell.
-
Thank you everyone!!! Marla, you're doing FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC, too. Sadly, I know I could be doing so much better. I keep telling myself a little mantra... in hopes I'll one day believe it... "You are strong, you are capable, you are smart, you are beautiful, you are determined,...." I'm trying to keep ALL NEGATIVE TALK at…

So awesome! Sadly, I am not THAT GIRL yet... I am the old you. The one that can't make it very long running. I can only make it 60 seconds running on the treadmill at 5.0 mph, 90 seconds max. If I put the speed down to 4.0 and do a slower run/jog, I can make it up to 3 minutes, sometimes as much as 5. And that's it. Sigh.…

To RobpBeachbod >> Thanks, but I have a treadmill and a bowflex. I try to get on the treadmill for a half hour a day. I know I should be using the bowflex, but have only used it once so far. I was in pain afterwards and on into the next day. It was so bad that night that I couldn't even get comfy in my bed to go to sleep.…
-
Thanks Erin!! :D I am having a really hard time getting back on track, fully. I know this is slowing my progress down so I am trying. Baby steps.
-
Wow. Fan-freaking-tastic!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an inspiration to many. Congrats on the baby, the weight loss, the new slammin' body, the better mood, improved health, and new job. May the blessings continue and spread to others. :flowerforyou:

Wow. I agree that she is sadly insecure. I also think, like another poster, that she links all of her worth to her physical beauty. How sad is that? She is going to be one of those terrible, mean, nasty old women because with gray hair, saggy boobs, and wrinkles... her beauty will quickly diminish and she may just snap.…

Sounds good and easy. I love easy and I love good. Saving this! Thanks for sharing. :D
-
^ This is so incredibly sweet, honest, and heart-warming. Agreed!! You will be fine!! Starting is the hardest part. Congrats on taking the first step. :D

Maybe this link will help. You can find out your Bodyfat first.... all you need is a measuring tape. Then calculate your BMR and TDEE. From then you'll find out how many calories you should be eating. I wasn't losing that well (maybe a half to a pound a week) so after finding my numbers I recently increased my intake from…

I wish my husband would read this thread. He is down 50 pounds (around 163) and he looks GREAT, in clothes. He says he can't stand how he looks naked and he doesn't know what to do. People are cautioning him not to lose much more or even any more weight because he is starting to look too thin. He wants to go for 10 more…
