Glad to see I am not the only one having a hard time buckling down this year. Ugh!!! I do great during the week then it all falls apart on the weekends. Oh well, this is a new week, a new start. If anyone has any pointers to stay on task during the very busy weekends, let me know. ;) Thanks!

Another free website with some awesome recipes that also has an app you can download on your phone is: http://www.sparkrecipes.com/

Thanks for the link!

OK, I have this exercise thing down pat, now I need to get the eating thing down pat. LOL

Hey all, it's Katie! Can't wait to get this fitness challenge off to a great start!! This group is great to help motivate each other!!!

If you have a smartphone, look for the app called You are your own gym! I think I paid $2.99 for it and I LOVE it. My co-workers and I use it at lunch time everyday to work out and it is awesome. What I like is that every exercise is demonstrated with a video and most can be made either easier or harder. Good luck!

I can't use Stevia either, it makes me sick to my stomach and I only used to use 2 packets a day.

You look fabulous, keep up the great work!! I also want to know what kind of exercise you are doing?

Love this thread!! :)

I'm an evening grazer. I do great all day but the few hours I am watching tv at night, relaxing equates to me having to snack on everything under the freaking sun! Can't seem to break this habit. I will start with something healthy like a fruit which then turns to something salty, then sweet, etc. Oh well, that is why I am…

Big difference, you even look healthier. :)

Thanks for all the fabulous tips! Congratulations on your loss!

Almost, I am 5'7" 198 lbs. You can add me if you'd like. Good luck on your journey!

I guessed 15% bigger than I am. It says I am the perfect hourglass shape. I think not!! I have absolutely no waist at all, I go straight down so I am not sure how they got that result. I think it is just because my hips and bust are bigger than my waist. Oh well, still really neat, thanks for sharing. :)

My daughter was diagnosed with Hashi's when she was 9, she is now 12. It has been a complete nightmare. Unfortunately, we have found that pediatric endocrinologists do not really have a clue how to treat her. They gave her synthroid which she continually had increased and all it did was nothing. She gained about 5 pounds a…

For me on those days I just have to eat. I do my best to choose healthier foods or better portion size if I am still craving something naughty but I listen to my body and just eat, otherwise I will go off the deep end and end of really messing up my diet. Allow yourself a little lee way and it will actually be better for…

I use canned chicken for my chicken pot pie. COme out much tastier than cooking fresh chicken, not sure why though. :)

This is my shape to the tee!!! So frustrating when you have skinny legs, no butt, no hips and wide shoulders and big boobs. LOL I also go straight down, really no waist line. My hips and waist are only like 3 inches difference. No matter how thin I get, my measurements are always like that. So weird.

I have lost 10 dozen large eggs. LOL

Hi there! I would like to add you as well. I try my best to be supportive but in a fun way! :) I will send you a friend request. Good luck on your journey!

It is DISGUSTING!!! I even tried to use the plain in a smoothie thinking the fruit would make it taste better and no one on the family could get it down. I can't understand how everyone raves about it so much. The only ones that are bearable are the ones with all the mixed fruits in it and those are so high in added sugar.

Just stopping by to wish you all the best of luck! You definitely have a great atittude and you know not to let anyone get you down or get in your way! Remember this is a journey, you will fall down and you will get back up again. Good luck! :)

Bump for later....this is a cool thread.

Wow, you can see a big difference in your waist!! Keep up the great work!

We have to eat at least one meal out once a week for dinner because of my daughter's hectic softball schedule so we always go to Subway! I love how you can pre-plan what you eat before you go. If you go on their website you can "build" your sub and it will give you all the nutritional information. I usually get a 6 inch…

Fantastic transformation, you look like a whole new person. Congrats!

Ah all good advice, thank you I will look into those programs. :)

Thank you! I was able to do about 8 reps for each exercise but only one set each of the 10lbs, does that sound about right? I am using them right now working out to the Power sculpt portions of the Biggest Losers Videos.

Cheetos Chips of any kind Peanut butter cookies.... All three of these I can't contain myself, it really is embarrassing how much of these items I can eat at once. ;)
