Sorry about that. Having trouble getting posts to go through : )

I would not waste money on HRM with no chest strap. They are not accurate. I have used a pedometer (cheap kind from Walmart) and love it. They are very accurate.

Has this counselor lost 100 lbs his/herself? Would love to know how they can say it's easier to lose 100 than 20 unless they did it and can back that statement up. Good luck with the counseling and just keep at it. Take one day at a time and don't get overwhelmed or obsessed with the number on the scale. It will drive you…

Thanks for all the great ideas! I will definitely try the Laughing Cow spreadable cheese and the hot sauce. I think I already have these in the kitchen.

Absolutely! I just got mine this week and can already tell a difference. It really helps me stay on track and I can see exactly what I'm burning. I have a Polar F6 (I think that's the right number). Got lucky...found it on clearance at $42, but there are some great deals out there. Good Luck!

Try a class first. It's so much more encouraging when you're there with others that also don't have a dancing bone in their body! LOL!

NSV is a nonscale victory, something besides weight loss that makes you feel good about how you're doing.

Good luck! I hope the tips work for you...they sure did for me. We are doing this again. 12 weeks, last weigh-in June 30th....2 days before we take the family to Disney. Can't wait to get smaller clothes for vacay!!

I WON!!! Thanks everyone for the great tips! I did the adding the lemon to the last drink the night before weigh-in (around 6 p.m.) I didn't drink anything after that until after weigh-in--then I loaded up. I lost 2 lbs overnight and it was great. Before anyone gets upset, let me just be clear. This was JUST FOR THE…

Great tips everybody, THANKS! And keep them coming. So far, all I've had today is water. May add some lemons at lunch and have a small piece of fruit, orange or something later. Don't worry, though. After the weigh in tomorrow, it's back to business as usual. WATER, WATER, WATER and MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!!! LOL!!

Thank you so much for the help!! I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I can figure it out.

I'm a Public Health Environmentalist....AKA "health inspector". Been doing it for over 10 years and love it! If you've seen the movie Ratatouille, don't get any ideas.....please don't lock me in the freezer : ) LOL!! (My kids love that movie!)

It's amazing, especially the difference in your face. What a great job...keep up the good work!
