Will I get it? Already did. Why? Why not?!?

I hard boil my eggs for the whole week on Sunday. I also bake some bacon or sausage (depending upon my mood) and portion out into zip lock bags for a quick grab n go. Fresh fruit is always good too.

At first my fiance was very resistant to the change. He would complain about "eating health food" and being starving. (I have a rule that what I cook is what you eat. If you don't like it cook something else for yourself- which NEVER happens) But after some time (only a month or so) he noticed that he was actually starting…

This is what I was facing!! Who thinks of that crap?!?

When I realized I was just 25lbs from weighing a quarter of a ton and found it next to impossible to find jeans with a button and zipper and pockets. Everything had not pockets and an elastic waste- YICKES!!!

Fantastic!!!!

I personally do not use my Fitbit while riding. I like to toss it in the tack box before I jump in the saddle. The reason being is that the Fitbit will actually count the horses steps as well as any movement you do in the saddle, i.e. posting/jumping. For those types of exercises I would manually log in MFP. Personally, I…

Protein bars, misc. Graze box items, 100 calorie pop corn

I can totally sympathize! I was already on my weightloss journey when I decided to quit smoking to improve my health (and lung compacitity for cardio) I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 10 years (16-26). I needed to keep my mouth and hands busy so I did a lot of coloring, puzzles and chewed a ton of sugar free gum and mints.…

Just this morning my office neighbor complimented the shirt I had on. Said it was super figure flattering and clearly showed off the nearly 50 lbs I have lost so far!!! :smile:

Ran into an old high school boyfriend shortly after putting on my freshman "15" (which was really more like 40) and he congratulated me on my pregnancy!!!!!! :explode:

So awesome you are finally confident enough to stand on the side of the tub. That's an NSV for sure!! :smile:

Soo awesome and such a beautiful woman!!

Everyone has OCD, some manage it better than others. Counting calories and exercising requires a bit of OCD. It could be a lot worse. For once, ignore your doc!

Agreed!

Can you exercise during lunch and eat at your desk while you are working?

Guilty! I love green, black and white teas! I prefer mine fruity and simple, so I tend to purchase the Lypton pyramids from the grocery store. At any given time there is 3-4 boxes of all different flavors!! :drinker:

Not now

Creepy

Once your thyroid levels are corrected with medication/surgery, you will be able to loose weight- I promise! In the meantime, do your best to eat at a deficit and exercise. Even when you don't feel like hitting the gym, at least take a walk, you will feel much better if you do. Hang in there- you're not alone!!

So awesome!

Plan, plan, plan. Plan your meals, at least a day or two in advanced. I like to plan my breakfast, lunch and dinner, then I can be creative with snacks (apple, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.). It's easy when you eat the same thing every morning for breakfast like I do, that takes the brain work out of that meal. If I don't…

Checking In!

Amazing! You look years younger!
