Thank you all for the replies :)

I'm in. i could use the motivation and accountability! Name: Lindsey Age: 34 Height: 5'4" Start weight (1st Feb): 294.6 Goal weight (1st March): 286 Weigh ins: Jan 30.: 294.6 1st Feb: 8th Feb: 15th Feb: 22nd Feb: 1st March: Weight loss/gain this week: Weight loss/gain so far this month:

$2.99 for a head of iceburg AND it's crazy small. Used to be .99 or a lil over $1.00 at the most. $1.99 for celery as opposed to $.77. Cherry tomatoes are ridiculous to except when on sale. Even bananas have gone up. They were $.57 and now $.69. I feel like babybel has gone up as well, but i only buy sometimes so not sure,…

Thank you for all the support and ecnouragement. I seriously was thinking I was a minority in feeling this way, but it looks all to common.

I like to start slow. First I start recording everything I eat regularly for a week or so, just to get an idea of how I was doing. Then i start logging seriously, focus on hitting macros and hitting under calories. It usually take s acouple days to figure out how many calories i can reasonable eat in a day without…

Currently 292, looking to get to 140lbs. Add me if you like!

I feel ya. I am down to one coffee a day and i think i'll stick with t hat. It's my one pleasure when I'm up for work before the sun!

Fish Tacos 2 fillets tilapia (or other whitefish) 1/4 c (or less) panko or crumb of choice cumin to taste chili powder to taste garlic powder to tasted 1/2 tsp oil of choice mix dry ingredients, cut fish into bite size pieces and coat fish with crumbs(if too dry, moisten with water) cook until golden brown and firm 1/4c…

Lol. I'd like to see that person who could eat that much celery so I could shake their hand. I eat it, but am not a fan :P As others said there is no 0 calories food, but when i'm hungry and have little or no caloric allowance left I to will go for water veggies. You can mix some lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper,…

I'll take a diet pepsi!:love:

Glad we're friends now! We are in a similar place altho i have a lot more to lose and gained more! Here's to keep each other motivated :)

Cracks me up when people talk about chemicals when they have (more than likely) chemical highlights) in their hair. Oh and is that all natural lipstick? *eyeroll* Not being catty, but I think you have a greater risk of breathing our evermore polluted air than from drinking a diet soda a day. I refuse to believe otherwise…

Just have a diet coke a day, it won't kill ya. Yeesh. Even if it does kill you in the end at least you enjoyed it in the beginning!

Pfft, who would even consider doing anything less. How can you possible maintain your online persona if your true self is popping out all over! ?

Are you getting enough fiber? Getting a healthy amount of fiber should be all that is needed to keep things running smoothly. If you are getting enough fiber and fluid, but are still experiencing frequent constipation, it wouldn't hurt to talk to your doctor as it can indicate issues elsewhere. I don't want to panic you,…

This sounds great. Gonna give this a try. I have yet to find a protein bar that isn't full of crap and actually tastes good. I MUCH rather make my own. I never even thought to try my own. You can completely control the macro content this way. Awesome idea!

I think there is no in between with cottage cheese. You either LOVE IT! or HATE IT! Might be a texture thing. My mom absolutely loathes the stuff, but i can't get enough. It's good straight up, mixed with blueberries and Kashi, tomatoes and pepper, in smoothies, on potatoes, with a lil fruit preserve. Yummo! You dont HAVE…

I agree, don't stress about a number. I have a hard time drinking water, but try to get 48oz of pure water a day and then I also drink some juice at breakfast and coffee and tea as well as crystal light throughout the day. I tend to drink until its clear or nearly clear when I pee. 48oz a day keeps me in that zone. Google…

Mine combines the motto I am using to change my life - NO EXCUSES -with my trainer love for Dolvett Quince and Bob Harper <3 (The Biggest Loser)

Remember, it isn't JUST about losing pounds. Don't lose sight of the ultimate goal, which is to lead a healthier life. If you starve your body of the nutrients it needs then yes, of course, you will lose weight, but in the end you are harming yourself. You risk slowing down metabolism as well degrading the quality of your…

i'd love to join!

Mine says i love my lil sunshine with every fibre of my being!

bump, this sounds awesome!

Going on just this post, since I don't know you from Eve, but what I see in that post is not only a body image issue, but also the basis for an eating/overexercising disorder. From a 'societal norms' perspective, do you NEED to lose weight at 5'5 and 114-122lbs? Not at all. From your own perspective perhaps you'd like to…

can of Tuna + 2 tbsp catalina + 1tsp mustard + garlic powder mix it up and let it sit in fridge for 10-15 mins if you have the time, melds the flavour. Tastes good right away tho! Then I just scoop onto wasa crackers or five grain crackers. Sooooo yummy. another simple one is to mix tuna, lil low fat mayo or miracle whip,…

i'm gonna eat a regular portion of everything. Typically I'd eat 3x a regular portion. I'd eat until i was ready to barf, that won't happen this year. I will enjoy the foods, snacks and desserts as well as time with my family. Sunday is a day of rest for me usually anyways.

A little late to the game here, but just saw this now. This is my biggest challenge, getting in the water. Minimum goal is 64oz (8 cups) Ideal goal is 96oz (12 cups) 4/1 -- 4/2 -- 4/3 -- 4/4 -- 8 cups 4/5 -- 6.25 cups (1.5L) 4/6 --

This pretty much is spot on. It's a high five for staying under calories. For me personally, if I see repeated too low calorie days I might send a msg depending on the rapport I have with that particular friend.

yummo! bumpity bump - Thanks!

I was just looking at calories, but now that i've been able to stay under calorie goals i'm moving into balancing macros while still staying under my calories. Both are important. I mean u can eat 4 frozen dinners for 1600 calories or a days worth of veggies, lean meats, healthy fats and whole grains and the day will look…
