Yep, this is how I like them and I don't like them steamed!

garlic, olive oil, parmesan, and a little pine nuts! Yumm!

MFP starting weight 218 2/8 210 2/26 207 3/3 208 3/10 206.5! Yeah, lost back that stuff from last week! woo hoo! 3/17 205 goal!

What a sweet guy, wanna call my husband and remind him to tell me that!:wink: You look fabulous too!

still a good place to check in! No worries, just come back often! :wink:

Do you need to talk to a nutrionist or your doctor? Maybe there is something else off (especially with the diabetes?) They do say slow and steady is better, but I know it's pretty frustrating!

:happy: Sounds like you are on the right path! What are you hoping to lose per week? Did you calculate your calories with that in mind? Are you eating your exercise calories? Keep it up, mix it up! Good luck!

STOP step away from the treats! What can you do that will give you some of the same feeling? Do you like protein shakes? Chocolate? it might have the same feeling! But if you can make it without the processed food, you will stop craving so many treats. Drinking enough water? It helps with the cravings when you aren't…

Well today I did a double Boot camp this morning, and moved up to 15 pound dumbells, I must say my arms are getting a little ripped :wink: Got in 750 gross calorie burn/550 net! All in all today was pretty good (except for going over my calories, because I forgot about my preboot camp snack this morning :grumble: :grumble:…

Phyljen, I hope that you are able to talk with your Mom, I know it's so hard when you aren't able to actually be there for her (and for you!) Hugs to you!:flowerforyou:

Well didn't quite make all my goals for this weekend. I was trying for a net calorie burn of 1500 calories, and I got to 1450 (I didn't have the last 50:grumble: :grumble: calories left in me! I did get to my fruit and veggie servings of 5 for the day, but I didn't try something new for exercise :ohwell: :ohwell: Maybe…

Hugs to you! Sorry for your loss, I lost my cat (Bando 21) this year and it is so very hard.

well I almost made my weekend goal of 1500 calories burned (1451) just didn't have it in me for the last 49 stinkin calories:grumble: I did way more than I would have though:wink: I did make my 5 fruit/veggie challenge per day! Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

:love:

Shivaun, I am so sorry your kitty is doing so poorly. It is so hard when our loved ones are not doing well. My kitty Bando had the same type of thing and you are right, you know when they are ready. I had 21 years with Bando, and it is very hard! When I am tired I eat way more than normal, I think it's our bodies defense…

:noway: :noway: :noway: You haven't been to Trader Joes:noway: :noway: Yikes get there fast! I love it! Just kidding, but it has great prices on some of my favorite things, i.e. protein powder, greek yogurt, yummy whole grain breads! Kinda like a small whole foods, but with out the huge sticker shock! You do need to read…

a good brisk walk at a pace of 4mph can really burn calories. I have two ruptured discs in my back and walking is how I get my cardio in. You have to walk longer than those runners :wink: But it totally can be done! Good luck!:flowerforyou:

much easier to plan it out ahead of time, like if you are going to the mall, look up restaurants on line and figure out what you can eat. I know it doesn't sound like as much fun as a blizzard, but it really helps keep on track. For sure eat your exercise calories, it makes all the difference. Get walking, on the wii or…

Woo Hoo! Way to go! keep it up! You'll get to 2 in no time!:happy: :happy:

GREAT BIG CONGRATS ON THAT!:wink: :wink: Keep up the great work, you will be at that big first goal in no time at all!:happy: :happy:

ok, well I got to a 733 calorie burn today! Boot camp this morning, 30 minute walk and then on to the wii fit for another 30, so tomorrow I only need 767, piece of cake. The bright note is I get to eat more on the weekend, gotta like that! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :wink: :wink:

PHYLJEN, Congrats on the weight loss! Sounds like the Cairo traffic is a cardio workout for sure! Keep it up!:laugh: :laugh:

I am another Cali girl! Petaluma Ca. Today I did great, I set my goal at 1500 for the weekend calorie burn with 5 fruits/veggies for the day. Started out by doing a Saturday morning boot camp with Great circuit exercises. Then went for a walk and finished it off with 1/2 hour on the wii fit. Got in 733 calorie burn for…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:happy: :happy: You look fabulous!!! So awesome! I hope to be just like you! Very successful! :wink:

Well, apparently having a 14 year old son, amps up the food bill quite a bit. Plus maybe having the parties for 20-30 people a couple of times a month may have a little bit of an impact. We spend $160 a week at Safeway, plus about $50 a week on average between trader joes and costco.:sad: :sad: That includes cleaning…

I am in, I'll try something new! Not sure what it is going to be, but I'll find something! I am going to also challenge myself to a 1500 calorie burn this weekend. Have a great weekend all!:wink: :wink:

:heart: Well I didn't weigh in on Monday, but today I am at 207.3! Hoping to get down to 203 by the end of the month! Good job to those of you who have already lost weight! Phyljen great job! Here is to a great weekend. My calorie burn goal for the weekend is 1500 calories, along with 5 fruits/veggies each day! :heart:

Congrats! That's fantastic! Keep it up!:flowerforyou:

Bleh, this is where I am at right now. Up a pound :cry: :cry: MFP starting weight 218 2/8 210 2/26 207 3/3 208 :explode: Goal for this week is 3500 calorie burn. I am stalling out here. Trying to play around with the calories to see if I can get things moving again. Need to get back to the losing column.
