woo hoo! almost a tire!

I like my girly 20lb dumb bells and my girly 35 pound kettle bell!:wink: None of those stinkin' 5 lbs weights for me! Try doing the shred with 15lb weights, that will really rock you!

veggies, egg whites, chicken breasts!

wow! I joined today! Well I won't get the bronze award as quick as some of you but I am going to try!:laugh:

Congratulations!!!!:flowerforyou: Keep up the fabulous work!

Fantastic! Great work!

good job!!!

Thanks all!!! So very happy today!:blushing: :blushing:

Woohoo! Good for you too!

if you are hungry have a little protein, almonds or a scoop of peanut butter and some water, otherwise skip it! :flowerforyou:

Everyone's journey is different and starts at different times. There are some people that are further along in their journey, and how wonderful that we have a site that we can learn from others and gain motivation and insight. Yes you too will provide that support. After my first week I wasn't making much progress, and I…

woo hoo!! Way to go! You look Fabulous! :flowerforyou:

WOO HOO!! Congratulations! That's fabulous! Yes, 15 lbs means you need new pants, and really it is important to do that, because when you wear clothes that fit, people really notice how great you look! Just try to get a couple of pair to tide you over. I just do more laundry now! :flowerforyou:

bumpety bump! Thanks so much! All so VERY true!:wink:

Thanks all! Continuing to do the happy dance!

Here is your encouragement! Great job on the weight loss and doing so well on your vacation! That is truly hard! Most likely it could be stress or TOM for the 3 day binge. Today is a new day my dear. Start NOW!!! I have realized even when I think I am doing really good through out the day, if I don't log and plan, I will…

:smile: Congratualtions! you look fabulous!

welcome! Would love another friend too! LOVE the site!:flowerforyou:

I have found the more white foods that I give up, the less I crave that stuff ( flour, sugar etc) some people don't have the same issues. Get it out of your system, try to give it a few days and eat balanced, eating protein with your meals so that you won't have insulin spikes. Drink plenty of water!!! Lots of people…

I log most of my food from my iphone and then go on the website once or twice a day for comments and boards. The logging of food only takes about 10 minutes and I love it. Sometimes I think I don't need to log, and wait until the end of the day and I ALWAYS go over, so apparently aI do need to log!

egg whites? Some protein powders? What about greek yogurt, I hear some people can eat that? Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I am 5'6 currently 200 lbs down from 218 Jan 1st. My base calories are 1250, but I eat all my exercise calories daily!! I exercise between 500-700 calories 7 days a week. I burn mine through bootcamp/walking 5 days a week, then on the weekend I walk or run! I just don't know how people can not eat that many calories, I am…

Remember to gain 4 pounds of fat you need to consume over 14,000 calories above your maintenance calories. Probably didn't do that unless you are completely GORGING on fast food, most likely your sodium intake is up and it is fluids, so maybe it is a pound or pound and a half. Not so bad. Like shanerylee says drink a boat…

:glasses: OK I am in! I'll let you know if it helps stoke it up! Thanks for the insight!

I am sorry for your loss. You are on a good path, stick to it and don't let the losses be in vain.:flowerforyou:

Imagymrat, I love your posts and while they are not all for me (too advanced) I certainly appreciate the time and thought you put into helping others. I think you ROCK!! And to any naysayers out there, don't click on her posts, personally I am always stoked to see her posts! Don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Thank you! Your wife is very blessed to have you in her life! As we are for you sharing!:flowerforyou:

I try to look up the menu ahead of time and decide. No bread, Have water, figure it in and journal before you go. It has helped me. Also don't go starving. Have some veggies before you go, it helps to keep your resolve!:flowerforyou:

Tammy, I love the site, and it get's easier and easier the more you use it! :wink:

not a food, but oh how I miss Chardonnay!:drinker:
