  • :) thank you! I am 5'10 (Drs office told me 5'9 at the last appt, but I refuse to believe Im shrinking! :)
  • bump bump bump!!!!
  • My kids call thier grandmas "mamaw" and add their names to it...mamaw necki (wishnevski--no one can say it), mamaw Riley, Mamaw Kathy, etc. We had other ideas, but the kids will call them whatever they think of!~
  • Thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up bribing my kids with a toy if they were good and went to Kohls for some clothes that fit! They actually behaved and I got some good stuff... My aunt (drunk grandmas daughter who knows the disappointment all too well) offered to come over the day after so I could see the movie my…
  • I want to try that! My gym doesnt have it. :(

  • My oldest (4) goes to preschool 2 hours a day-3 days a week and thats when I get in my workouts (theres a FunZone at the gym for my youngest) and grocery shopping...it is a huge help.
  • My gyms group fitness class room is all mirrors on 3 walls. There is a woman there who is probably in her mid 40s (I only say thing bc you'd imagine a young ditz doing it) but she will only talk to people she sees are as fit as she is---totally ignores my heavier friend who is standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!-and looks at…
  • Thank you for all of the info. It is a lot to digest, but I believe the articles about too much cardio. It really is ALL I DO (in addition, of course, to limiting my calorie intake on here) with the exception on my Interval class that is only once a week. I am going to start by cutting down on my cardio and getting more…
  • Oooh, DITTO! must have the cool whip on top! I also like the Caramel flavor!
  • OOOOoooooh, a tsp or two reduced fat peanut butter and a tsp or two nutella on 2 slices of still warm Healthy Life 35 calorie bread! YUM! Like eating a PB Cup on toast!
  • Got mine at WalMart, too but I agree with the other poster: I dont buy them because I will eat the whole darn box in one day and convince myself it wasnt that bad because I spread it out through the day! (I love the sour cream and onion!)
  • wowsa! You look great in both, but i prefer #2....I agree with what someone else posted...they are both gorgeous, but the 2nd will wear better as the night progresses...wont look wrinkled or saggy. Congratulations! No matter which way you go, itll be gorgeous! :flowerforyou:
  • Yay for the tall girlies! (& thanks for the info. on Olivia from Biggest Loser! I was curious about Hannahs height and couldnt find it, but they look to be a similar height). I am 5'10" (although the nurse at mr Dr tried to say 5'9" last time, but I refuse to believe Ive shrunk!) and am currently 184 down from 230 in…
  • Zumba is easy to pick up and I love it! Ill do anything that gets me sweating, but I need the motivation of group classes at my gym. I also LOVE yoga and Pilates---a great workout, but not cardio. I firmly believe Pilates is what helped me with my core....
  • Ill friend you! I will be 32 next week and have a 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son!
  • Your story brought tears to my eyes! What an inspiration! My husband has run 3 mini marathons and loves it ...I have only just run my first 5 K...but I keep telling myself thats where he started, too! I hope to one day run the Indianapolis 500 mini with him He runs with team DetermiNation for the American Cancer Society in…
  • That sounds awesome! Its amazing what you can make with a few laughing cow wedges! I used 2 with whole wheat noodles and the steamed cauliflower with cheese for some AWESOME mac and cheese....with only those 3 ingredients. Even my kids pigged out on it!
  • I make homemade pizza using the rolls of dough you can buy in the refrigerated section, using part skim mozzeralla (really one cup is plenty), barbeque sauce, chicken, red onion, mushroom, and green pepper that is only around 200 cals a slice and DELISH! I make it on a medium cookie sheet and cut it into 6 HUGE pieces and…
  • Ditto-no big deal! A little pinch and its over!
  • My almonds from ALDI are whole natural and unsalted and 1/4 cup serving for 180 calories. I have at least one serving a day. It is really a great snack and it keeps me full for a long time. I had some yesterday for lunch with some low fat cottage cheese. Yummmmm!

  • I set deadlines as part of my goals, but if I dont meet them by that date, Im going to try to not get down on myself and just meet it as soon as I can. I am 5'10 and 184 lbs and in a size 10 so it all depends on your body type. When I was at my heaviest (230) I was in a 16. Good luck!
  • Can I join late????? I just saw this and would LOVE to participate. I havent done a challenge yet, but I need the accountability! If I can, I weighed in on Saturday and my weight was 184.4. My goal is 1 pound a week (hopefully more, but I dont want to discourage myself) so that would be 11 weeks/11 pounds so .... 173.4!…
  • I lOVE THIS and really needed it after this week....its on the fridge, baby! :)
  • The punch described above is AWESOME! I dont have any others besides a mocha punch,but that much caffiene could be frowned upon at a baby shower~

  • Great job! I hope Im with you soon! My goal is 181 by my birthday, April 28....so close...I am at 182.2 (prob, gained this week though) but I still have a chance! Hope I can celebrate with you soon! Awesome work!
  • I am also 5'10 and started out at 230 and got to the 190s without MFP and got stuck BIG TIME in the 190s. I started MFP and was outraged at the number of calories I was eating...thinking that I was running and working out almost 90 min. a day and I deserved to have those calories! It wasnt until I actually "perfected" my…
  • I REALLY believe that they changed the points system BECAUSE people get used to it and dont need to pay to do it anymore. We bought the calculator and I had all the "start up books" and everything I needed. I even went and bought a WW digital scale and started weighing myself in once a week and STOPPED paying for WW…
  • Just made these according to the original directions (w.5 tbsp R.Fat PB & Kmart generic devils food mix) and they were 128 calories and DELICIOUS! I never thought to get the sugar free cake mix...NEXT TIME! Thank you sooooo much for this!
