yes, please!! Thanks, Krystle!!

I am not giving my best. I have rededicated--no more cheating, more water, better choices, and work out. Cassie6803 and I have challenged ourselves to be each other's watchdogs! I know I can do this and I know that slow and steady wins the race! Love you guys! Michelle

thanks for taking over the weigh ins...it's nice to see everyone's progress! And congrats on your 10K!! YOU ROCK!!

212!! down a couple of pounds!

I do not know how to load my pics. They are in my profile should you choose to look. The first two are December 31, 2010 and the second two are from March 25, 2011. The first pics are kinda hard to see so it's difficult to notice the differences. But, at my doctor's office yesterday, he said I looked slimmer. I hadn't seen…

I think we are in our own mindsets. My husband says he supports me, too, but we just aren't on the same page. I also think that others secretly don't like it when friends or loved ones succeed if it's a different goal than what they want. Does that make sense? They say they support us, or want to see us happy, but they…

bump so I can add pics later tonight

Hey, I live in Howard County!! Welcome...friend me if you want!

I love your dedication to show us the progress! What love you have for us to keep us all organized! I love the visual of seeing my progress and our teams! Thanks!! Michelle

Well this past month or so, I was starting to fall back into my old habits. If you read any of my diary entries I would not eat lunch but eat a candy bar (or two) and then later on have a some other crap for a snack. I was maintaining or slightly gaining. So, I switched it up a bit. I decided to change my caloric intake to…

I agree with the 40 pounds. I was only looking to find some support and motivation, and this group has been phenomenal!!

how many calories are you trying to eat per day? I, too, have noticed that I am colder now that I am losing weight. Are you eating throughout the day?

My TOM is next week, so I have been wanting to eat like crazy! Will be so happy when it gets here and I lighten up. Aside from TOM, I have maintained for 3 weeks now, so I feel like I need to change things up a bit. Congrats to all who had a great week. To those that didn't, chin up!

We love Quinoa! I find it in the natural food section and I also find it near the rice and couscous. I have purchased regular and organic before. I have a recipe posted on my blog for creamy quinoa primavera.

Great job, Zeta Diva!! Get back in the race and take one day at a time. We didn't get this way over night and it will take a while for us to get our bodies to the way they should be. Glad you are back!

Put your best foot forward and move ahead, one day at a time. Do not let yourself give up! Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

217.5....was 220 last week!

220!!! First mini-goal reached!

I was down this week...it's amazing what our bodies go through within a week sometimes! I have lost a total of 10 pounds since November...that's two sacks of flour!! I have lost 20 since my slow moving journey that started December 09.:bigsmile:

m e norato--as in Michelle E Norato

well, hmmmm...early in the month I lost 2 pounds, then 3, then maintained, then gained 2. Generally I am at or under my calorie goal and I usually eat my exercise calories. I have to think that it isn't just calories that I should look at...what kind of calories am I consuming? I did mention that next week mother nature…

UGGGHHH!!! 226 when I started, 222 last week, 224 up 2 pounds this week...body is preparing for TOM next week.

I am weighing in tomorrow when I go to Curves...I do not have a scale at the house anymore! When I weighed at school this morning I was the same as last week, BUT my pants today feel so loose!! My husband commented that he could tell I am losing weight, so I will take that!! Will be back tomorrow...great job everyone!

Good Evening, All! I have twice now allowed myself to have a "treat" like the reese's peanut butter cup last week and the cinnabon minibon today. I can't believe I will say this again, but I didn't really like them! They didn't taste the way I remember them tasting! So, I suppose that is a good thing. I was disappointed to…

lane bryant stores and on their website. I have also looked at hips and curves...an online store

Did you input your information correctly? Like your exercise times and your lifestyle? Are you eating correct portions?

I do whatever the site says. i enter my information and go with what comes up. As I lose weight, I resubmit my information to get adjusted calories for weight loss.

The cooler is a great idea! You can buy ice packs or use ise. That way you could pack sugar free jello, cheese sticks, yogurt, grapes--which you can take without the cooler, too.
