Beef Barley Soup, string cheese and an apple!!

Awesome!!! I can't wait to find these lentil chips and check out the websites...thanks for sharing!!!

I'm happy to hear this...I haven't tried them...I see them and I always think about it and then I don't get them. Sounds like a good buy =)

ABSOLUTELY and I'm loving it!!! I used to log in to facebook right away and now mfp is the first and last website I check each day. It's such a GREAT place for motivation and support!!!! Love being part of such a positive group!!! :bigsmile:

I weight myself every Wednesday morning. I can't weigh everyday or I would be obsessed...I feel like limiting it to one day a week helps me stay focused...'I have x number of days till weigh in, how hard can I work over the next x days??' that sort of mentality....it's been working for me....try some things out and do what…

So far 44 sticks of butter....and a whole boat load to go!!!

I think you might be thinking of weight watchers....where veggies are zero points. I really recommed veggie steamers, I bring them for my lunch and I have half the bag with a small chicken breast and I am satisfied. Don't give up on the veggies!!!

I completely know what you're talking about. I believe it has held me back in previous attempts to lose weight, I'm almost afraid that I'll be losing a part of who I am when I lose the weight...it's terrifying making a life change, but I know that it'll be so worth it in the end. Losing the weight and keeping it off is…

Ha ha I completely agree with this!! It sounds like the board says 'ohhh' when I steop on it's calculating or deciding if it's really me on it.

My sister in law is studying nutritional science and she has heard that you should drink half your boday weight in oz. if that is more than 8 glasses.

WOW I have Jillian's dvd...from one of those times I was 'going to get in shape' I think I did it once, it was hard and I gave up. BUT I'm happy to hear that you loved it! I tried water aerobics last night for the first time and LOVED it, I have also done Zumba in the past (AWESOME) I'm looking forward to using Jillian's…

Wonderful Wisconsin here =)

Thanks!! I just listedned to a podcast and they mentioned spinach and stuch in smoothies and thought they were crazy! ha ha ha good to know it works! I will start looking around for the commercial blenders....I think it should be a reward....Lose 10 pounds get a blender...we'll see what my husband thinks of that ;) Thanks…

It's awesome to see this!! What great inspriration =) It is possible!!!! You look fantastic! Good luck with the rest of your journey.

I can totally relate to the late night binge. It's a struggle...but today is new. Forget yesterday and move forward!! Stick with it and in the end you'll win not the late night cravings...or slip ups =) It's a new day!

I love your rewards that you have listed for yourself....I think I'm going to use that too....now what should the reward be??
