this is glorious :) thank you!

Thanks everyone!

I totally understand about the nights and evenings being the hardest part. Staying busy is the only thing that works for me. Whether that be shopping (which my pocketbook cannot always afford), crafting or cleaning - I must stay busy after work. If it's up to me to not eat crappy food while on the couch, game over. Can you…

Love this :)

I use nonfat Greek yogurt in almost everything rather than cream cheese or cream or sour cream. So give it a go - what's the worst that can happen?

The mayo really is a killer but also keep in mind any kind of special sauce is usually laden with sugar and/or salt. Lettuce wraps from Jimmy Johns - no mayo are always a good choice. At mcdonalds i will usually get two grilled chicken snack wraps, no sauce, no cheese, extra lettuce, add tomatoes. Not great but acceptable…

I don't. But here is why: I was once in great shape! And it's embarassing letting people know that I KNOW I've gotten fat. So I just keep it to myself and hope that one day I'll wake up a size 4!

Ermagerd!!!! It's awful/awesome. A girl at work and I are one week three but we are only able to do it T, W, Th due to work things. But I couple with with between 2-3 weight training sessions at the gym and a cardio class or two at Gold's Gym too. Feel free to check out my food diary, too. I think I'm eating pretty healthy…

The other day in my 5 am (!) Body Pump class I learned that the average American gains 7 pounds between Halloween and Christmas. So while my goal might not be as lofty, I'm just going to say I want to lose 7 pounds by Christmas. Which means consistently tracking my calories and cutting out most alcohol. Cheers!

I've tried. I clip coupons every Sunday but the stores in my area (central Iowa) don't double or triple coupons like on those shows. I use coupons when they are available for items i want but that isn't terrible often: A. most of the coupons are for crappy foods and B. sometimes I find the generic foods are still cheaper.
