THIS!! Give yourself time... maybe even 6 months... to hang out at 200 and let your body "reset". If you are losing weight for life there's no hurry, and the slower you lose the weight the more likely you will keep it off for good. I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but I wish you luck!

I like it homemade (brewed from Dunkin Donuts beans, which I covet now that I live in the South!) and I have it with 2 oz. of half and half and a tablespoon of raw sugar, always over ice. I only drink it two or three times a week because it's a lot of extra sugar, but it's a nice treat... and a must on a Sunday morning…

I also can't live without chocolate, and so my compromise has been to eat only REALLY good chocolate. I always have a bar of 70 or 72% dark chocolate in the cupboard! When a craving hits I let myself have a piece and do my best to eat it really slowly and savor it. If that doesn't do it (although that's rare) I have a…

One of my (incredibly thin) friends said to me last week... "I think you're losing weight too fast. You're not crash dieting are you?" Um... no. It's taken me two months to lose 10 pounds, so it's not too fast, and I did it by eating right and sweating more. :laugh:

Love it! But what the heck is a butt buster?? :-D

Hey, I took a look at your diary and I'd like to hazard a guess that you're retaining water due to sodium intake. I noticed several days where the sodium levels were really high-- and any time I see that in my own diary it translates almost directly to a "gain" on the scale. What works for me is to do two things: 1) reduce…

First of all, welcome to MFP! If you're serious about making changes, I really believe that this website it a great tool for that. Just to share my own experience-- I struggled with 30DS because I didn't like Jillian's attitude in the DVD. I'm much more motivated by encouragement and empathy, and I just kind of felt like…

Throw on some fun music and dance with your babies! Or have the little one give you a hand when you're "cleaning" (aka doing squats while you dust or whatever). You could even walk/jog with your little one in a stroller. ^_^ Anything that helps you break a sweat. It'll give you two things: a workout, and the knowledge that…

199 is my mini-goal and when I get there I'm going to sign up for acting classes :)

One of my favorite new websites for healthy, tasty recipes is www.skinnytaste.com My husband is a super picky eater but he has loved literally EVERYTHING I've made from this website! And the author lists both WW points and Nutritional information for her recipes, so it's easy to track in MFP. Good luck!

I think of soda like a treat now-- okay to have once in awhile but not something to drink every day. :)

I think it does!

Hey y'all! Army wife here :smile: Hubby has been in for 2 years, and we just got married in August. I lost 23 pounds while he was in Basic, and now I'm trying to get down to a healthy weight before we start adding little "birds" to our nest. Feel free to friend me! And btw I think this thread is a GREAT idea... yay for…

Hi! The Curves circuit is actually listed in the exercise database on MFP... at least, it is on the iPhone app! The Curves circuit is very different from general circuit training, so be sure to log accordingly. Good luck with your goals!

Ok, to the people saying something along the lines of "You don't want it enough" I have two things to say to you: 1) RUDE. You have no right to presume how much I do or do not want something. 2) WRONG. I wouldn't be here asking for help if I didn't want to lose the weight and keep it off. So please, offer some constructive…

My FAVORITE breakfast smoothie: 1 cup Simply Orange Mango juice 1 scoop vanilla Slim-Fast or your preferred protein powder (110-130 calories/scoop) 1 banana 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt Blend 30-45 seconds until smooth & enjoy! It's about 365 calories, so this is definitely a meal shake. You could freeze the banana if you…

Good morning ladies!! Happy Spring (every though it's SNOWING here!! >_<) I'm down this morning at 207.4 - super excited just for that, but even MORE excited to be out of the 210s! Believe me... when I break 200 in a few weeks y'all are gonna be able to hear me squealing with joy even if you're hundreds of miles away…

NSV!! The sweater I was going to wear this morning had a stain on it that I hadn't noticed, so I went into my drawer and grabbed the first shirt in there. I bought it 2 years ago and never wore it because it was tight in the tummy but this morning it slipped right on! I've felt amazing all day just because of that :happy:
-
Hey Ladies! I'm a little confused-- is today's weigh-in starting weight (which is on the chart already), or are we doing our first check-in? Anyway, my goals for the week are to: 1) Add another 32 oz. bottle of water to my day 2) Keep up with the workout schedule I started at the beginning of the month (Cardio x3-4,…

Hey all! I think this group sounds *amazing*-- I'm in! Current weight is 211 as of this morning. My official weigh-in day is Friday, but I'll message you on Mondays :D Thanks for running all of this! I'm really looking forward to a fun group that also helps me stay accountable!

The funniest one I've noticed is that my old shoes don't fit! My feet have shrunk about half a size since I've lost 20 pounds, and now I'm falling out of my flats :tongue: My favorite change that I've noticed is that my collarbones are visible again! Very excited about that. Congrats on all your hard work and the changes…
-
I put lightly active... if you're like me you're on your feet most of the day (and chasing kids definitely counts as exercise!) Congrats on your weightloss, and good luck!
-
Count me in!! I don't snack after dinner anymore but I can ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS drink more water... and a few more minutes on the elliptical wouldn't hurt, either. :laugh: Hope everyone has a fantastic (and skinny) Wednesday!

Here's what my Doctor always told me: If it's above the chest (sore throat, stuffy nose, sneezing, etc.) than you are safe to workout... and it may even help you feel better! If it's IN your chest (coughing, wheezing, mucous, etc.) then you should take it easy until you are able to breathe well again. Rest, or just go for…

HOORAY!! Such a good feeling :smile:
-
I was that size at my heaviest... about 4 years ago now. It's so exciting to be wearing a loose 18. Congrats on your loose pants, too! And my next goal is a 14 (my high school size). Let me know when you get there!

Hi soomzy- Motivation and momentum are so hard to keep up with, especially if you feel like you've "lost it". I think you're taking steps in the right direction by asking for advice here ^_^. When I lose my motivation it's usually because I've managed to discourage myself somehow... I would recommend just starting small…

I think they're called No-Pudge Fudge Brownies. It has a picture of a piglet on the package, and the brownies are WICKED tasty. :smile:

I actually joined about 2 weeks ago, but I never got around to posting my hello!! So here it is. I'm 22, live in the mountains of NH, and I have about 100 pounds to lose total...but I'm really just focused on that first 10%. I'm glad I found this website, and I look forward to making new friends here!!! :happy:
