Today will be day 7 for me. I think it is the first day where I"m not feeling it.

LOVE this! I need something like this to keep me motivated. Thanks for keeping this "Open"!

I've been doing this for quite awhile after reading "1984"... I used to be a huge diet coke drinker. Now, I can't stand the taste of artifical sweeteners. I know that I can't eat as many sweet things to keep under my calorie goals. But if I do have something that is sweet, I want the real thing!

Fabulous job! btw- it gets easier to say no to that office food. btw- 1.5 lbs/week! that is an awesome and heathy goal. Don't let anyone tell you differently!

What do you mean by zigzagging calories???

I generally close to 40 g/day w/o All Bran- oatmeal for breakfast, salad with lentils for lunch. Lots of fruits and veggies.

YUM!

Check out: http://blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com/ She has lost over 100 pounds and is now training for a pagent. It can be done. But weight training is the key!

For the challenge, I posted a 3.5 pound loss from last week. I really stepped it up in my workouts (started 30DS and got on my eliptical) this past week and I watched my weekend eating. Getting 8 more pounds off during the next two holiday months is going to be an act of God! But I'm going to stick to it, even if I am…

beautifully stated.

Be a conductor and conduct some fast moving music.

I had a tough week last week. Super busy at work with little sleep... Too much stress makes my will power go out the window when there are sugary treats around. Then to add Halloween in the mix! I was doomed. I had a 1.5 gain. But I am still down 0.5 pounds from the start. That to me is still a sucess. For those of you who…

I know exactly what you are talking about. I get obsessed with the logging and checking, too... Look at what you are eating? Are you eating clean? When I get rid of the sugar and processed foods out of my diet, the weight starts to come off. For me, I have to log to keep myself "clean"... If you are eating little…

Doin' The Potty Dance! Right foot Cross, Left Foot Cross, Step, Step, Toes, Hip, CELEBRATE!!! (I'm in the middle of potty training my boy)

within a couple of days of watching what I ate and cutting sugar, my attitude lifted.

I've got a similar situation. I was eating way to many toddler foods at night time. Once I start eating them, I wil not stop. But I like to have a snack after dinner. My solution... CARROTS. INstead of the cereal/crackers. I get a carrot. It is sweet. crunchy and healthy.

Give them away, buy smaller, and move on. You are worth it. Yes the clothes are nice, but get them out of your closet. You don't need to be eating to fit into them again!

You said that you work in a pub... are you sure that you aren't nibbling chips every now and again? When I waited tables, food would ALWAYS jump into my mouth!

I had a good week and a decent weekend.... was down just the 2 pounds that I saw on Wednesday... but that's typical for me after a weekend. I don't get enough water, too much sodium, and too much processed sweet food. This weekend did not have the best of choices with a fridge that was adequately stocked. That was remedied…

Sassy!

1. Something that I love about my physical body- I love my tummy. Yes... despite it being round and fat. I love my tummy. It is where my two beautiful children grew inside of me for 9 months.. it was their home. To hate that part of my body is to hate a part of them! 2. Attitude changes- I am figuring out how to have a…

you were reading my mind today!

Was able to get a couple lunch walks in this week. And I just finished a nice bike ride through a local wooded park while the kids were sleeping. But the best workout I had this week was at the birthday party this morning at the bouncy house. Nothing like jumping around and lugging a couple kids up a bouncy house "rock"…

thank you thank you thank you for posting this! I was going to ask the community for a good curry recipe!

What time do you weigh? I generally weigh in the morning. If you were at the doc's office in the afternoon, you could definately see a "weight" gain from the morning... there's water, waste, food, clothes, etc.... I never compare two weigh ins from two different scales. See what the doctor's scale says next time. You know…

looks like everyone has some really good ideas. A while back I found a baked apple recipe that is yummy and healthy. Core apples, pour over balsamic vinager, your favorite spices,, and bake until apples are tender. They were as good as apple pie.

try brocoli and salsa. Air popped popcorn Cough drops Gum

Another round to Thanksgiving!?! That would be most beneficial!

I'm with him... just because it is all the rage, if you don't like it... don't eat it!

I got one shortly after the birth of my son. I didn't have the problems to open up my cervix... As you can imagine, it was still trying to close. But I did get an infection that drove me batty. I had it removed about a month after getting it.
