I took a month off after losing 20 pounds. I ate maitenence calories for that month and still logged my food to make sure I didn't gain weight but I gave my body a break from the calorie deficit. Now that I'm back at it my motivation came back completely! Plus I lost weight right away when I lowered my cals again. I also…

I'm adding more bananas and potatoes (skins on) into my diet. Plus trying to find the mfp entries that have the proper potassium listed.

I'd say treadmill is much easier. I can run 5K on the treadmill at 5.1 miles/hour without stopping but once I get outside its harder to regulate my own speed and just go non-stop. especially if I have to think about the route that I'm running (like where to turn or if I have to cross a street)

I have no idea what mine was last time. It was juuust high enough that the doctor just commented on how low it was but didn't make a big deal about it. My mom also has low blood pressure so it appears to be genetic Yup! Canadian! It's been snowing for four days straight here! freaking -10 (but the nice news lady assures us…

It's -10 where I am. :( Endless winter in the frozen north.

It wasn't too too low at my last appointment. but I rarely go to the doctor. Just curious, what would they even do for it?

Nope, it works for me when I copy and paste it.

I live etsy and all the peeps that sell their stuff there. (hey Jesse!!!!!!) I brought some etsy people with me when I started here. Best kind of people are those crafty ladies

awww how sweet! My boyfriend is really supportive too, he's started checking the labels on stuff to see if one brand has more fiber than another one. yay!

I want to know too!

That is an INSANE amount of fat in one sandwich!!! How did they even get that much in there? how!

16 pounds :)

I had a bad back injury a few months ago and was having trouble even walking. It really sucked What helped the most was finding a physiotherapist that I really liked and working with her to get me back to first being mobile, then doing gentle excersizes and now I'm working my way up to getting back to the gym (speed…

Since it's -30 outside right now I can't go out unless my hair is 100% dry.. so washing it everyday means washing, conditioning and blow drying. washing takes almost no time. blow drying it out nicely does. Plus I wear a lot of fancy braids and up-dos and they work best with hair that was washed the day before

I have long hair and its too fine to wash every day. However I do shower everyday and give it a rinse if I've worked out.

I think a big part of it is that when you aren't 100% happy with your body you don't really REALLY look at yourself in the mirror..I avoided doing that at first and only started after I lost ten pounds.. so it was hard to see a difference.

Ha!! I bought a huge mirror from Ikea when I first moved out and it was my only full length mirror. I knew that it was a little bit warped because it didn't sit flat on the wall on one side but I didn't think too much about it About five months later I was at the bar and they had a full length mirror in the bathroom and I…

marking this for later :D

I'd rather have the real homemade stuff too, it just irks me that they are trying to pretend it's health food

Holy cheek bones girl!!!! You look amazing! I love your method too, moderation moderation moderation. Cravings and binge eating are the biggest stumbling blocks and allowing treats in moderation just makes sense. Always glad to see you on my news feed

They just want to cash in on the healthy product market and are too lazy to make an actual healthy product. Plus you get less pasta in each box and it costs more than the classic kind. It's just such a lame product and so misleading

Drink a ton of water! Makes that problem go away

I use lemon juice, a bit of vegetable oil, salt and then chop up a bunch of cilantro to throw in there too

Thanks for the link! Good advice.. I didn't even think about berries but having a raspberry patch would be awesome.. so would strawberries. Its -26 outside today but inside my head its summer!

Wow look at the difference in your waist!!!!!!

I can see a big difference in your face! You look great!

I want to buy a good safe car for all my commuting and highway driving that I do. I also finally have a big yard so I am reading up on gardening!!

I weigh myself everyday and I don't see anything wrong with it. The number goes up and down slightly but the general trend is downwards. There isn't a right or a wrong way to do it. It's just what works for you.
