I make sure to take my vitamins, so that I have energy and motivation to be active and try to log my eating. But if I don't log I don't get discouraged...I just try to do better. Life is busy and sometimes things just don't make it into the schedule. I would rather get in some movement than log my food, if it comes to that…

I know this event has passed but my "secrets" for these type of events are: -tiny bites & trash the rest (better in the trash than on my ash) -keep busy as to not venture back. -remember these are usually social, visit and carry a water. - white lies are my friends....oh I already had a plate of snacks ;) -also remember…

Congrats on all your hard work and accomplishments!! Thanks for sharing the pics! Great idea to take a maintenance pic, we think of the before and after but usually not the maintenance pics.

Birkenstocks, Dansko and Clarks. With Birks being my number one favorite. I own both black and brown London Birks. http://www.birkenstockusa.com/products/women/shoes/london/hunter-black-leather/6673 I have had my brown pair for over 6 years and have had them re-soled once

WATP Slim & Sleek Walk 3 Mile walk

I haven't tried that one yet. But it is on my list of wants. I just got the 3 mile Slim & sleek DVD this weekend, but it was so nice out this evening I walked the walking path at a local park. I should get to try it out this week though there is lot's of rain in the forecast.

I actually made room for lunch at the Mexican restaurant with a friend, So my evening meal and snack will be on the light side.

Not to be a naysayer......but this is not always the case http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/barcodes.asp

Wow! youtube is awesome! :love:

Thanks everyone for the ideas and opinions. Also the links! I didn't realize you could see previews online, silly me....I should have known the internet has everything!! Can't wait to get some new workouts.

Happy Birthday! :flowerforyou: You are so pretty!! I too thought you weighed less. Congrats on the beautiful results of your hard work and determination.

You look terrific! I love crazy stalker cat! I also really like the visual compare of the sizes, great motivation

My calorie goal is set at 1200, I struggle to meet it most days. My diary is public. I also occasionally have a day that goes high, usually if I go out to eat or have a special occasion. I do not eat breakfast most days, I just don't care to eat first thing in the am and usually have lunch at 11:30am.

Totally that ^^^^^^^

You are a wonderful inspiration! With many great tips and words of encouragement. Thanks and congrats to you.

My food diary is open and I pack a lunch almost every day, I am eating around 1200 cals a day. I find inspiration from looking at Bento Box lunches on Pinterest and the web. I believe that if food looks good it is more filling and makes my day/lunch happier.I also find I eat more veggies and fruit if I am making my lunch…

I am 28, not married (but in a LT relationship) no kids, and 3 cats. So I am right there with you!!
