Hi fellow Melanie!!! You can do it! I have far more weight to lose than you (currently at 168, goal is 125), but we'll get there!!!

I hear ya. It's no fun for sure. I'm dealing with it now too. Damn PMS has me feeling like I've gained a ton but I know it's all just water...it'll fall off when it's over.

I usually drink a cup or two during my work day. For me, it does seem to suppress my appetite some. I wouldn't say a lot though. If I'm craving something sweet and don't have fruit handy, I'll grab a cup of green tea with a packet of Splenda or Stevia and I'm good to go!

I use the Silk vanilla light. AMAZING in cereal or smoothies. I also like the coconut/almond blend

I'm also 4' 11" (and 3/4") LOL I can't do the ellipticals because they simply aren't a comfortable workout for me. I stick with the exercise bike, also because I have bad knees from hockey so many years ago. Cardio is what I'm doing for a month and then I'll slowly add in some strength training. I'm at 35 mins per day, 6…

Funny thing is though, I didn't have to edit any of the items - they all imported correctly - just not the nutrition amounts.

Ok so I'll just do quick add and use the calorie count from food.Com then. I don't have time to manually enter all ingredients in these recipes. Bummer :( would've been a great time saver

Thanks for your response :) I honestly am afraid of eating that many calories but I have to try SOMETHING to jump start it!

I could've written this myself. It's TOTALLY my story! Except for the running part :) Congrats on everything you've done! You look amazing!

I lost 115 from Jan 2011 to June 2012. I put 35lbs back on over the last year, because I got lazy and now I'm working hard to get it back off.

My 15 yr old daughter and I are also hitting Warped Tour when it comes to Denver at the end of this month! YAY!

I was recommended by a bodybuilder friend to eat a banana before my workout and a protein shake immediately after. I do moderate/heavy cardio for 30 mins and 10-20 mins of weightlifting 5x per week.

I came up with 830 calories for the entire batch (not sure how big each square will be since I haven't made them yet. Oats are 300 calories for one cup Most peanut butters are 190 per 2 tablespoons so this recipe calls for 4 tbsp = 380 Most Whey protein powders range from 140-160 so I went with the middle range 150 830 for…

I'm 5' 0" (barely) and my goal weight is 115. I'm currently sitting at 154 but was 130 last June. I got lazy and put on some weight so now it's full-fledged GOAL time!

Yep, I'm at a desk all day too and the exercise ball/standing work stations are not an option. I do get to go downstairs (2 flights) a few times a day and I use my 15 min morning and afternoon breaks to take walks around our office "neighborhood" when the weather is nice. I also work out for a good 45-60 minutes per…

I've had this same thing happen. I scanned a can of corn the other day and it came up pinto beans! In cases where the UPC scans incorrectly, I log on to MFP on my computer and find the product using the search feature and verify the nutrition contents.

I do this too only I use 3 whole chicken breasts, a packet of taco seasoning and a jar of salsa. YUM!

I can only hope to look as good as you someday soon! Congratulations - you look fabulous! Looks like you're an avid rider and accomplished as well. Horses have been my passion ever since I was a little girl. Congrats on your ribbons as well!

I'll be 41 in September, but people who meet me for the first time think I'm in my early/mid 30's. If I put my hair up in a ponytail, I get carded at restaurants/bars for beer. I have about 40lbs to go till my goal weight.

LOVE it! You look AMAZING! Congrats on working so hard to achieve your goals!

Today is my first wedding anniversary. Hubby is taking me out for a surprise dinner. We won't be working out tonight either. I have had oatmeal with berries for breakfast and will have my salad with a small pork loin chop for lunch but after that, I'm NOT counting anything or worrying about what I eat. If we have…

Congratulations!

I've lost 115lbs, but put 40lbs back on over the last year. So, I have that to go to make my goal weight. Hang in there!

I'm 5'0" currently sitting at about 154lbs and my goal is 115-120. :)

Happy Birthday and yes, have a bit of your own cake. Life's too short to miss out on the occasional treat!

I'm down to only 40lbs left till goal and I'm getting a new bikini and tattoo to celebrate :)

GREAT JOB! You look fantastic!

From Detroit, Michigan but currently living in Denver, Colorado :)

My hubby and I just started last night. We did our first workout and feel great! We're eating healthy and clean, just not following her diet to a "T" since we just found it to be TOO MUCH FOOD! I have a goal which is 50lbs in 90 days so I added 30 mins of cardio 5-6 times a week as well. So, we're not following it…
