I bring a little lunch box with an ice pack with me every day. It holds lunch, dinner, and some healthy snacks for in between. Usually works for me.

I'm absolutely terrified for Easter! It's a huge feast around my house with neighbors and family and pure chaos (did i mention enough food for a small army?!). I figure I'll have to defend myself all through dinner about my choices and portions, but I will work out before and I will eat within my calories. I am too…

UnderArmour sports bras are the only ones that work for me. I buy a size smaller than normal (what was recommended to me by a friend). And i can run and jump and nothing moves!!!!

25 minutes of circuit training for me :-)

Keep your head up! Even small steps are steps in the right direction! 26 lbs is still awesome, so congrats on that!!!

Way to lose! I had a bad 1/2 week and the scale showed. Remotivated to move my butt and see a loss next week though! LW: 191 CW: 192.6 (yuck!)

I'm in for both! Feel free to add me.

Great job ladies! I had a bad weekend (food-wise), but got back on track monday and yesterday so I managed to lose! LW: 192 CW: 191 Keep it up!

You'll love the site, it's amazing! It keeps me accountable and on the right track. Feel free to add me if you'd like :happy:

This made my day! All so true!!! Also, all my skinny friends complaining to me that they've eaten badly all day and are 'SO FAT'! It drives me insane!!!

I'm the OCD one of the two of us and my boyfriend is so chill he'll usually just let me do it and help when I ask for it (almost never :laugh: ). Even if I get mad about something he can make faces or do something stupid/obnoxious until I laugh and can't stay mad. It's worked for 3 years so far (though not living together)!

My days are pretty similar. I try to do more foods with fiber and drink a lot of water. Plus I'll work out and be able to eat those calories back. Those are the easiest days to get through.

LW: 194.8 CW: 192 Scale said 193 this morning but I'm going to assume it's just water weight since I upped my intake yesterday. I'm giving myself the 192 I saw on Sunday morning! :laugh: Goal for next week: See an 8 in the middle of those numbers instead of a 9! Haven't seen that since the beginning of last fall! Great job…

I think it's up to you. I don't count mine, though I do use a pedometer to keep track of how much I walk around campus everyday. I just think of it as an extra boost on the calorie burn!

You look FABULOUS! You're definitely an inspiration. I'm 5'4" and looking to get to 130 also. Keep it up!

I love the elliptical. Way easier on my knees but still a great workout!

We all have are bad times (weekends for me). Bounce back and keep pushing! You'll get this!

Feel free to add me! I have about 60 lbs to go (almost down 10 so far). I understand enjoying the workout but overeating. MFP is great for that. I rarely crave junk food anymore, and have to have my greek yogurt every day! Good luck on your journey!

LW: 194 Now: 194.8 Not the greatest week but I'm happy with not gaining more.

forgot to weigh in the morning, will tomorrow! nice work on the losses!

I use my phone and set different ringers occasionally from the day before, which is usually enough to scare me awake in the morning with a loud noise right by my ear! :laugh:

Sophomore year of college! feel free to add!

feel free to add me!

Better Oats - Oat Fit Instant Oatmeal (any flavor). Between 100-200 calories per pouch and very tasty and filling! Takes about 2 minutes in the microwave. I make one every morning at work and also have a piece of fruit or yogurt.

Some decent choices I found online. Haven't tried them but they sound like better options! Take a trip to the islands in this simple tropical cocktail. Servings: 4 servings Prep: 10 mins Total: 1 hr Rated : 1 2 3 4 5 by 2 people Rate and Comment Ingredients 3 cups boiling water 1/3-1/2 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed…

It's not "natural", but Monster Absolutely Zero gives me my caffeine fix. It's zero calories and zero sugar so it seems a little better... I'm not sure on sodium however.

feel free to add me! i love the hungry girl cookbooks. easy and fast recipies that you can simply double, etc. if cooking for more than yourself. workouts-biggest loser dvd's. they're pretty cheap and you can tailor your workout through time and/or difficulty. good luck! welcome!

Thanks! I love Chobani! Gotta have it at lunch every day!

Last week: 199 This week: 194! Finally a good loss! I guess that whole working out and eating right thing might work after all :laugh: Way to go everyone!

I could definitely use the motivation following the weekends! NAME..............................................SW...........................CW.........................Lbs Lost this week...................GW…
