I'm just under 1200 daily. Looking for friends, support, meal ideas. Lost 70+ lbs four years ago and have gained 25 of it back :( Working on losing it!

Um...nice and toned in a pair of boxer briefs. ;)

Hi Judy, I'm Karen. I've been at this for about three months now and have lost about 13 pounds. It's been frustratingly slow, but it's coming off. I want to lose about forty more pounds. My diary is open and I love to look at other people's diaries for ideas. :)

I had to buy a smaller pair of scrubs to wear to work! :)

I'm enjoying the sense of accomplishment! No more excuses..I'm just doing it for once! I love watching my logging streak add up one day at a time and the number on the scale move down one pound at a time, although it's moving a little slower than I would like. I also love watching the numbers on the tape measure get…

I have my flex set as being worn on my non dominant hand. I have watched it as I type and it does not count my hand movements as steps. I'm not sure if this is a new fix or not. I have changed the setting to dominant hand, same thing. The step counter does not count hand motions as steps with my device. Same with my sons.…

This! The spelling thing drives me bonkers. :)

I've never been creeped! What's wrong with me! Sniff Sniff Hahaha

You could also try dividing your calories more evenly throughout the day. It seems as if you are eating the bulk of your calories at breakfast, leaving little for the rest of the day when your calorie goal is in the lower range for the day. :)

Hello! I'm Karen. :) I'm on 72 day streak and have lost 12 pounds so far with about 35-40 to go. I love the support and encouragement from this site.

Jello pudding pops and the gelatin pops...and french toast Pop Tarts!!

Protein powders are an excellent way to supplement your protein intake. I use Cellucor. The cake batter and molten chocolate are very tasty! This brand does have artificial sweeteners, but I am fine with that. They are low carb and 130 calories per scoop. I mix them with unsweetened almond milk. :)

I'm not a fan. I like QDoba a little better, and I can do without it as well. I like my homemade burrito bowls better..and I can weigh and calculate the calories for my own much better.

I concur. Over supplementation with K+ can be very dangerous. Normal serum K+ is 3.5 - 4.5 with some small variance depending on the lab reference values. High or low serum potassium levels can cause dangerous heart arrhythmias including cardiac arrest. Bananas and leafy greens are good dietary sources of K+. Otherwise, if…

The top is very cute. The color looks great. The bottoms are too small. A size up and it will look GREAT! :)

This gal did an egg fast just last week and blogged about it. She made a menu with some recipes to break up the monotony of the scrambled egg. It looks intriguing. I would be afraid that I would gain it all right back. Here is the link if you want to check out her blog though. Good luck!…

I tried a sample of the chocolate and it was so chalky and flavorless. Bleh. Couldn't get it down. Not to mention at over $100.00 per bag who can afford it? I regularly buy a 3lb container of protein powder that tastes really good for $30.00. from my GNC or the grocery store. No thanks. I'll pass on the Shakeology.

In the fifth grade, Reggie Jackson always picked on me, especially at recess. I was about 20 pounds overweight at the time. He proceeded to get in my face with his chest all puffed out and said he was going to slap all of the fat right off of my body. I told him "good, I don't want it there anyway!" Then I went into the…

I usually don't drink tea...just have never like it. However, I use a Tazo sweet orange and a passionfruit tea bag in a mug of hot water with some Truvia and it is really good! You can also put it over ice after it has brewed if you aren't in the mood for a hot beverage.

I have used the Firm's DVD's and had great success with them in the past. There is one called Fat Blaster that I adore. It's an older one that I used to do 4 times per week and saw GREAT results with. I just ordered the Express series that incorporates interval training. It is very expensive on the Firm's website, but I…

yep

1276. Trying to stay on track.

I will drink some water. If that doesn't do the job, I will eat something small, around 200 calories and higher in protein/fat. If it puts me over my calories for the day, I will add those calories to the next day. Not ideal, but keeps me on track.
