Congrats....and may GOD bless you with many long and happy years !

That is great and congrats on your new family=)

You can friend me too! I'm a Chicago native transplanted into hot, dry, but sunny Las Vegas and understand that it can sometimes be a challenge to maintain a consistent, and effective work out without good support and motivation which the latter one I often lack in=)

you great & thanks for the inspiration! I'm at 212 trying to get down to 140

You get a great workout! I only have the wii fitness game to go by for 20 mins and it is fun as well. I can only image what an actual class is like which is my next goal. :smile:

I do see the difference and you are looking good! :glasses: :wink:

I want to thank you effusively for sharing and congratulation. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I almost drank a half gallon of decaf green and pomegranate iced tea last night because I was so refreshing. Funny thing is that I drank it before but it seemed unusually refreshing last night. I have also have cut out pop and even juices for the most part only drinking fat free milk and water but mostly water. I wonder if…

You can add me too. I look for recipes of foods that I like but are tweaked to make them healthier( weight loss friendly). Not a plug just a book that I have used a lot because there are a lot of dishes that I like and had good outcome. Cook yourself thin faster book ( they also have some posted on posted on…

That was adorable and awesome! keep on writing sister=:o)

You are f-a-b-a-l-o-u-s =:o) Seriously, you have inspired me and I still have a ways to go before my obese changes. Thanks and keep up the great work

Don't be too hard on yourself and remember that tomorrow is another day. Weekends are sometimes challeging for me too. Maybe we should try to treat the weekends like weekdays- plan the meals,water intake, snacks & exercise. However, remember that we are amazing & every day can be a learning experience

Hello awesome members, I want to thank you again for starting the August group! Here is my update: 8/7/11- weight 207. I'm amazed what logging food & water intake has done for me in such a short amount of time. My goal for the upcoming week is to get back into exercising @ least three times a week. Have a great night or…

I would like in this great group! SW: 211 8/3/12 Mini Goal : 198 by 9/30/11 Mini Goal 2: 170 by 12/23/11 That's enough goal setting tonight! Good luck & good night

I use unsalted butter in small amounts and in recipes that call for butter. I prefer the taste of good ole fashion butter even it doesn't have salt=0)

Congrats and you look great! Keep up the good fight and have a great day! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Congrats and keep up the good work :drinker:

natural yogurt=) Ground Turkey or Chicken Breast? :flowerforyou:

Thanks!!! I bought "Eat Yourself Thin" a couple of months ago and they have nice and fun adaptations for some recipes, but really that healthy.

You rock girl! :drinker: You will be amazing with the weight training just take it on day at a time just like you did 11 months ago. I love your mantra: Seize the Day!

Way to go girl:flowerforyou: !

Yeah You!

Great idea because it is the small and consistent good choices of life that wins the war! Today I fell of the no "junk food wagon" and got a reg size frozen mocha blended drink at a very popular place, and after drinking it I felt a little itchy and hyper but yet my palette was satisfied and I figured that my body was…

I agree with you momabee it can be challenging in making wise and good food choices. Junk food calories are consumed generally in mass quantity at one time and then you repeat the process, but eating healthy often means smaller portions of fiber, protein and all of the other beneficial nutrients and I think the human will…

You can count me in too! I am a great motivator for others but a rather lazy wimp when the mirror's reflection is mine =0) I am a full time employee and part time student and find it challenging to get in exercise five days a week, so my weakness is the exercise part ,so I would like for you to hold me accountable for…

Aqua aerobics is great and the results are astonishing when combined with good eating. A friend of mine is mostly wheelchair bound and has no problem in the water. My instructor was a single amputee and he worked with us in and out of the H2O ( out of the pool he stood at the ledge to see if we were moving as he instructed…

Congrats :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I can't wait until my day arrives either!

When I looked it up this is what i got: Jammie Dodgers are a popular British biscuit, made from shortbread and raspberry flavored plum jam. :happy:

Welcome and congratulations on your family expansion. I'm a June baby as well so I know your child will be f-a-b-a-l-o-u-s :happy::wink:

CONGRATULATIONS !!! We have to celebrate the small victories so we know how to cheer when our wars are won. Keep up the good work :flowerforyou:
