i started out with almost the exact same routine... as my body became comfortable i was able to shorten the "walking" periods... and now i do 45 minutes... 5 min walk- 4.2 (1.0 incline) 35 min jog- 5.0 (.5 incline) 5 min walk- 4.2 (0 incline) some days i need to go down to 4.9 or even 4.8 depending on my heartrate.

Grilled Chicken Go-Wrap from Wendy's with a small Chili... also the Craft-2 Menu at Qdoba allows for smaller portions of the regular menu. Also... if you are a jimmy johns fan try the #12 with no Mayo... (it has avocado spread!!)

i like flavored vodka with sprite zero.. that way i'm only getting calories from the vodka.. but my true love is BEER!! i definitly plan ahead and workout HARD when i'm going to be drinking beer. Bloody Mary's are GREAT as well!!

my feet have changed too!

i love chicken breasts grilled and then served with a mango salsa!! Also last night i had thinnly sliced cucumbers with a light balsamic vinegar dressing... DELICIOUS! Hummus and baby carrots always are a hit!

HUMMUS!!! AVOCADO!!

i always have a bottle beside me... i drink when i'm hungry... i drink when i'm thirsty... i drink when i'm bored... i still have trouble making it all the way to 8 cups most days.

When i made the decision to change my habits my boyfriend was totally on board! When i get home from the gym he asks me how many calories i burned and is my biggest fan! At first i felt uncomfortable talking about weightloss with him... but i realized how supportive he is and i know i couldn't have done it without him!

isn't it great when you realize what you are capable of doing!

i've battled depression at every weight... one thing i know for certain exercise = happier!

I did the same thing! i think my boyfriend was a bit jealous!

i haven't tried those... i usually find that water mixes are too sweet for me

You will definitly find the support you need at MFP. Make sure you add lots of friends (feel free to add me) and try to participate in as many challanges as possible (i find that keeps me on track). Good Luck!!

This week's check-in: Current weight: 160 Total pounds lost since: 2lbs since last week!! Question of the week: What's your favorite healthy and quick lunch? I love a sandwich with low sodium turkey and avocado slices with some pretzel crisps on the side. What's your workout schedule look like this week? MTWTF--> 3.3 miles…

Current weight: 162.2 Weight lost: 0.8 (not great... But i think im getting over my plateau) I have not been measuring inches... But my boyfriend tells me my waist is shrinking.

what's TOM?

i was addicted to soda... i would drink up to 12 cans of pepsi a day... i quit cold turkey... and have since added in 1 can of diet rootbeer or diet grape fruit soda as a reward at the end of the day... GOOD JOB!! i know how hard it is!

thanks for the ideas! i added a bit more to my running routine and started using the elliptical (even though i hate it). Hope to see some amazing results!!

i use my exercise calories as a cushion... incase i do go over... or if i REALLY want that ice cream cone... but i try to not eat back all of the calories... after all weight loss is about calories in and calories out...

i'm pretty much obsessed!! Courtney was my favorite... she is very inspirational. I also did a biggest loser challange at my gym and won!! 13 lbs in 8 weeks!!!

you look GREAT!!
