I would love ideas like this too! I know that one member mentioned jumping jacks while watching tv..

Cottage cheese. Yogurt. Bread with chunks or grains.. textural thing I guess! Most of the foods I hate are good for you, unfortunately!

You look great! Congratulations on all your hard work!

It's not available in Maryland where I am..

WOW! Is 2 stone 20 lbs? What a difference, you look great. I can't wait to have "skinny" photos of my own :)

You look fabulous! Have fun shopping for new clothes girl!

Also I forgot to say - I'm worried about loose skin too. I got a tummy wrap thing from the maternity section at Target, that I plan to wear under my clothes when I start losing more. Also I bought Preparation H, which is supposed to tighten the skin (good for undereye bags too)! As stated above, your age will work to your…

Can someone please tell me what NSV means? AWESOME job with the run! You should be smug! Well-earned!

I didn't realize there was a setting for that. Just made mine public, thanks! I'm hoping showing how I balance the good stuff with the indulgent stuff can help others. Like all week I've been planning to have a cheeseburger from Sonic (lol I know, but we don't have one anywhere near us so it's a treat and I NEVER eat fast…

Skinny pumpkin brownies! One box lowfat brownie mix, one can of pumpkin. So easy! Each 3 inch square brownie is just 120 calories. No oil, eggs or anything! Just a tiny hint of the pumpkin flavor, made ever better with CHOCOLATE! :)

You look great! I bought the DVD but never got past a day or two, so thanks for the inspiration!

I just thought of the same thing this morning, and I found this article which was helpful: http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/fewer-calories-stalls-metabolism.aspx Also another member mentioned earlier how they were stuck at too few calories so they upped their strength training (because muscle has a higher metabolism…

I started a week ago, My goal is 100 pounds by June 1st. Add me, we'll help each other! Getting used to logging every bite is most important.

WOW! This is very inspiring.

My biggest motivator is an upcoming vacation! I really want to feel and look amazing on this trip.

Mine are pretty great as well! I just joined.. add me!

I'm in! I'm already planning how I'm going to eat little bits of everything for Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of gorging myself on platefuls! Let's do this!
