I started my journey to weight loss at a whopping 418 lbs.. now 7 months later I'm down to 349.. you can do it! Sodium was a huge problem for me and after I started really watching and upping my water intake I lost consistantly.. then I hit a plateau for awhile and so I upped my calories and started losing again. I also…

Mrs Dash has chicken seasoning which is great there is also Mrs Dash fiesta lime seasoning which has a little bit of a taco seasoning taste with No sodium :)

I do the mashed cauliflower as well.. add fat free cream cheese and mash away.. I do add one small russett potato to smooth out the texture in the cauliflower though :)

Sorry i've been MIA on here for awhile... I've been riding an emotional roller coaster and trying to keep myself in check. Staying away from the kitchen and emotional eating is SOOO hard. I am proud of myself today though because even though I didn't feel like it and really tried to talk myself out of it I exercised and…

good luck with all your goals.. you'll find that this place is really great for support and encouragement along the way :)

it's all water retention... up your water intake for the week of TOM and the week following.. that usually helps me to flush it all out. I normally try to stay away from the scale the week that aunt Flo is visiting.

isn't it amazing? I remember when I went to a restaurant awhile back and after sitting there for awhile I thought.. hey.. I'm not cramped up... this is actually comfortable!! Great job and keep it up :)

350.8 this week which is a .04 loss... I'll take it considering TOM has been lurking around all week long and I thought the water weight would give me a gain as it usually does.

I didn't exercise as much this week but i really watched what I was eating... I have always stayed under calories but it depends on what calories you're taking in.. this week was all fruit, veggies, beans, dairy and whole grains.. and I finally broke the plateau that I was stuck on and am happy to say I'm down 3.8 lbs this…

351.2... thats a 3.8 lb loss!! Woo hoo.... I'm so close to a 60 lb loss total and I couldn't be happier today :)

355 this week.. down 1.2 lbs :)

I am down 1.4 lbs which isn't a lot but I met my first mini goal by losing 55 lbs total YAY me... now I can get my reward for that which is the EA Active sports 2 game for the Wii... I"m excited to get it as it will help me even further my success. this week I need to step up the workouts to a little longer and try for…

i usually make mine with reduced fat cresent rolls crust. But I know people who have used low carb tortillas and liked it that way. bake the crust then add the ranch and the topping after it cools :)

Very inspirational Krys.. thank you

sounds like you're talking about a snickers.. one of my favorites. I buy a bag of the fun size ones and then I have my husband put them up on a really high shelf (he's 6'10) when I really want one I have to ask him for it.. which helps me not to ask for more than one and helps me ration them out. I spose if the craving got…

Hello there... I am now 356 lbs but started at 410... I do the walk it out game too and had the same problem.. I am wearing a pair of shorts one size smaller so that they are snug against my thighs and keep the skin to skin contact to a minimum.. I have however still had issues with under by belly. The best thing that…

Happy Groundhog Day Ladies.... remember you are worth it and you can do this! Let's show that fat who's boss!

Excuses: 1. I have a 6 month old to take care of... I don't have time to exercise. 2. It's my TOM and I don't feel like it Answers: 1. I can exercse with the baby and she will think that we are playing example: dancing while holding her, putting her in the jumperoo and working out right next to her 2. Just because it's my…

LOL that is funny. I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was eating this GIANT piece of birthday cake lol..

I have never done yoga but the last two days I have been doing a little bit of tai chi (is tai chi a form of yoga? lol) and I feel the same way. Somehow even though you are just breathing and stretching in different positions it feels great afterwards :)

Stayed the exact same weight this week. At first I was really disappointed and part of me did the whole "why even try" attitude.. but then I remembered how good I'm feeling and how much better my clothes are fitting. I wore a pair of pants yesterday that used to be too tight.. one of those that were tight when you first…

LOL>... this made my night. I love kids they are so funny.

Hello everyone. I'm so proud to be in such a strong group of ladies who are working to change their lives. Got to sleep in this morning for the first time for a long time.. I think the hubby realized I was getting run down and he decided to take care of the baby until 11am!! I feel refreshed and energized. Already did 37…

This week my goals are to watch my sodium levels and try to keep it under.. up my water and my veggies. I've been doing really well at getting in fruit but not so good on veggies. I need to up my exercise this week because I had a bad couple of days with eating so I need to work it out.

this sounds really yummy.. thank you :happy:

Had a 2.8 lb loss this week and I am beyond estatic about it. Its my TOM week and usually I gain 3-5 lbs because of water retention.. this week I upped my water like crazy and really tried to watch my sodium.. its so hard especially when you are on a budget and all the budget foods seem to be loaded with extra sodium! Glad…

356.4 this morning.. thats 2.8 lbs less than last week. It's not my goal (which was 4 lbs) but I will definately take it. This is my TOM week and usually I gain this week so I was SOOOOO happy to see a loss. Congrats to everyone who worked hard this week to make a difference in their lives :)

lol... better to be over than under. Good job
