I'm sorry...I am with those who don't understand why you can't just let him eat when and what he wants to. I mean...all these women who say they give their men extra portions? How about just letting them put what they want on their plates? He'll eat if he's hungry. My husband would freak out if I tried to feed him. Once he…

You look fantastic! I love that polka-dotted dress. Too cute! :)

Good job, Beeps! I love Cherries! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Dewdrop - chin up! It's a new day! Me: 22* LNS: 8

I make a Thai sauce out of PB2 and soy sauce. I also don't worry about sodium. I love salt, and I'm healthy, so until my doctor says "You need to cut back on salt" I'm going to enjoy it! Also, my husband's made a honey marinade with oregano. I don't know how he did it, but it was amazing. Let's see...mango salsa. Regular…

Good job dewdrop! That is so hard sometimes! Congrats to another win, lamlam! Beeps, sometimes, you have to give in. Otherwise, it gnaws at ya! Me: 21* LNS: 8 Last night wasn't even a challenge. I was so proud of myself when I went to bed and realized I hadn't even been thinking about that late night snack! Most nights,…

First, I want to say - preach it girl! You look amazing and have really put in a lot of hard work. Congratulations! Second, I want to thank you for sharing this with all of us, but mainly women. It's hard to get used to the more lifted, "squat" booty. Because it does feel bigger and doesn't fit into the smaller sized pants…

Fantastic post! Thanks so much for posting this. I'll have to read it more thoroughly, but it is pretty much an amazing roll-up of things I've been learning this past year.

Great job dewdrop! I'm proud of you getting through movie night! Have fun at the party! Me: 20 LNS: 8

Boo. Stayed on course meaning within my calories for the day, but ate later than I needed to last night. Me: 18 LNS: 8

That sounds good to me! You can't always help the late dinners. I know all about those. We eat around 7 generally, but so often we also eat later. I did well these past two days, and they were hard days to do well with! Wednesday was a late dinner, plus my parents and in-laws were over. I was so tempted to chow down when…

Nuts, sliced veggies, turkey jerky in a pinch. Those are my go-tos! Oh, and apples. High in fiber and keep you full!

Oh my goodness - everything! Leftover BBQ chicken (shredded) spinach, tomatoes, onion, mushrooms Adele's teriyaki chicken meatballs (my current favorite) Leftover fish my husband cooked the night before Turkey sausage Turkey bacon shrimp Morning Star maple sausage patties Morning Star mushroom burgers/tomato basil pizza…

Yes! Apples are very good to you. There is some truth to that saying "An apple a day...." Sugar from fruit breaks down differently in your body than added sugar. Should you eat 10 apples a day? Probably not. But apples are very good very you, and less sugar than many other fruits (like bananas and tomatoes,and yes,…

I made something very similar but with turkey sausage and sauteed mushrooms and onion.

I do too! :) Last night was almost too easy. I was so flippin' tired, all I wanted to do was sleep. LOL Me: 17 LNS: 7

Awww...I was teasing you guys! I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. I'm so sorry!

You're so right. I was LNS every single night too, so yay!!! 2 weeks of vacation is going to be rough, I think. So...August may end up about half and half. Me: 16 LNS: 7 dewdrop and lamlam, you must live together. :P

Good job Beeps! It's tough sometimes. Summer is proving sooo difficult because we're so busy, and so many activities pop up... Me: 15 LNS: 7 I wasn't even all that hungry, but...I don't know. It went well with my wine. LOL At least it was a smart choice!

Me: 15 LNS: 6 Tonight should be a win, but I'll let you know tomorrow how it turns out! Hope ya'll had a good weekend!

Haven't popped in here in awhile! I'm proud to say it's been a good week! Me: 14 LNS: 5 Looks like it's been a good week for everyone else, too! dewdrop - I'm so proud of you for resisting the hunger in the middle of the night. NOT an easy thing to do! Beeps - glad you had a nice time out with your friend and didn't munch…

I couldn't agree with you more. I was talking to one of my friends about this group, and she said the same thing, that it's okay to eat right before you go to bed, especially someone like me who's working out and lifting, etc. But for me, it's part of my ED. The eating late at night while I'm by myself thing is somehow…

Me: 8 LNS: 5 Boo. It was a rough night emotionally.

Haha, Beeps, you deserve it! Another win for me! Me: 8 LNS: 4

I know what the OP was going for, and here's the truth: I totally estimate my salads. I'm lazy. So my salads usually consist of lots of lettuce, some slices of tomato when we have them fresh from our back yard (like now), and half a bell pepper. Sometimes some cucumber. Then some protein on top. I don't use dressing. I use…

Congrats lamlam and dewdrop! I barely scraped by last night... Me: 7 LNS: 4

Oh yeah! I like those! Have you done the "When I say JUMP HIIT?" Oh. Em. Gee. That one is really tough!

I LOVE Fitness Blender! For the low end of their estimated calorie burn, they use a 130lb female. I am about that (I think...I don't weigh myself), and I burn pretty close to their estimate, though generally a little lower. They seem to estimate high during the less active movements and a little low during the higher…

I just want to pop back in again and say thank you to the OP! Whenever I hate my thighs, I come in here. Because for some reason, when I look at all of your thighs, all I see is beauty and strength. Yet, when I look at my own, especially if they're a bit swollen from working out, or it's a sweaty day, and they're rubbing…
