Looks like I'm going to start with Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and go from there. If all goes well then perhaps the Chalean next. Thank you for all of your input.

I really don't mind sharing more information. I would like to get into the 140 to 150 range. I am 5' 7" tall and right now I weigh 180 down from 198. I was down to 173 until we went on a 2 week cruise (whoops). I have never really a been a big fan of any type of cardio exercise but I do like the feeling you get after a…

Try and pick one new thing a week to try. Over time our likes do change so don't think that because you didn't like something as a kid that you don't like it now. When you can grill, fill up the grill. You can wrap up left overs to use through out the week. Grilled left over chicken on salad is great. Good luck!!

Maybe if your readdress your message as actually wanting to just eating healthier and not about losing weight they will listen. When you explain to them and teach your family about what certain foods can do like the cholesterol issue with butter and the unhealthy bleach used to make white bread they may be more open. Right…

I can totally relate but I've found out that I do alot better when I make sure I eat a decent amount of protein with every meal. It really does make me feel satisfied until my next meal. Also, I realized I was a carb addict and I cut out all the processed ones and after a few days of not eating them I really felt better.…

I feel your pain. My brother borrowed mine to weigh his families luggage before they went on vacation a week ago and I won't get it back until Easter Sunday. I almost went out and bought a new one. The waiting is driving my crazy. I'll never lend it out again!!!

You look BEAUTIFUL!!! Congrats!!

I'm on my 3rd glass of ice tea and starting to feel better. I have cut out sugar the last two weeks and chocolate is one of my down falls so with all the easter candy ads on and all the candy in the stores, I am really feeling the temptations.

If you are eating a lot of "fat free" or "light" version of food just replace with regular versions. That will increase your calorie deficit.

Have you tried a MIM (Atkins Muffin in a Minute) It has a ton of protein and fiber and is quick, easy, and delish!! You take a 1/4 cup Flaxmeal, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 packet splend, 1 tsp cinnamon Mix in a mug then add 1 egg and 1 tbsp of butter or canola oil or olive oil. Mix it up and microwave for 1 minute. It may…

I didn't realize how much of a sugar addict I was and what it did to me until I decide to give it up for a while (thinking just one week). Well, its been two weeks and I think I don't want to go back. The hardest was the first couple of days until it worked out of my system but now I feel great, better than before. I'm not…

I not sure but now I want a piece of cake. :sad:

Three musketeer mini's ...... keep a bag in the freezer. There is a lot of chocolate flavor in one of them and since they are frozen they take a while to eat. Also, Swiss Miss Diet hot chocolate (25 calories) or Nestle Hot Chocolate Rich and Creamy tastes better but has 80 calories. This is how I deal with it. Hope it…

I got one and it was really neat at first. It gave me a accurate reading of what I was burning through the day but if you are on a tight budget I would look into some other less expensive models like the Fitbit or a regular heart rate monitor. Just entering your calories and exercises on this site is all you really need to…

I went and now I feel GREAT!!!! No regrets!! Thank you for all the responses, I'll definetly becoming back to the topic again and again to get the extra motivation that I need some days.

Thanks everyone!!!! I'm heading to the gym.

I have the same problem but I learned if I pack snack for my self along with my lunch that will help. Also, make sure they are filling snacks like yogurt with frozen berries (the berries are thawed out by the afternoon and the yogurt is still cold from the frozen berries). I also have almonds in my desk (just make sure to…

As hard as it sounds, you really need to make time for you. Start with your food. Try to plan your meals out for the week and do a one trip shopping trip so you have everything you need for the week. Pack up things a head of time in ziploc bags or container for snacks so you can grab and go. I don't have a little one…

My husband and I own a custom powder coating shop (it's a metal finishing/restoring process). So I am the accountant, HR manager, receptionist, janitor, and customer service rep.

There are ton's of seafood option for you over there, along with all the fresh fruit. You will do just fine!!! They do have alot of healthy choices. Also, if you get a chance to go tubing in any of the irrigation canals I'd highly recommend it. It was a blast!!!!! I think they call it "tubing the ditch."

Since I'm trying to lose weight, I'm glad I'm not overly fond of anything that is breaded and deep fried or even just deep fried like french fries. Also, I'm not to fond of reese cups even though I love peanut butter and chocolate (just not together).

I drink it every day, two 16 ounce cups. I use spenda and fat free creamer and count the calories for all of it. As long as you count it, I think it will be okay. There are just some things that I refuse to let go and coffee is one of them!!!:drinker: (Well that and pizza too):flowerforyou:

I have been there and done that with alot of those shakes, bars, and pills, and have yet to find any that really to work. I have had more success by logging my calories in and out and making sure there is a deficite at the end of the day. I do still partake in the occasional protein shake, mostly in the summer time when…

The sausage crumbles come in a bag and they are already cooked. I found them at the grocery store near the regular bacon and sausage section.

This place is great for that kind of attitude!!! Even if you slip up a day or two, keep logging in and it will help you get right back on track instead of giving up. Good Luck to you!!

Can I cover them with chocolate or cheese? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Turkey Ranch Burgers and a salad

COFFEE and PIZZA. Thank God I found a way to slim the both of them down.

Thanks for all the posts. Normally this is when I quit and throw in the towl. I switch my food diary to public again and am going to brush myself off and get back on the plan that works. Sometimes I can be my own worst enemy!!! Thanks again!!!!
