229!!! 43lbs lighter now. :flowerforyou:

Wouldn't that fit in under walking?? How long does it take you to walk the 3 miles??

I have artificial nails--I still catch myself putting them in my mouth to bite, but I usually stop myself because it's not the same. They look good most of the time, but during REALLY stressful months they can look pretty raggedy !! :flowerforyou:

Snickers candy bars!!!!

Don't know much about HCG. My sister had the lapband & she's really struggling to drop weight. She lost more weight on South Beach. Good Luck

She looked beautiful. I hope she is able to keep it off, but I wouldn't bet on it with her track record. :ohwell:

TOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!! Love it!!!

I did the same thing. I joined in Jan--put on about 7 lbs--really started using the sight in March. It is really working for me. Good luck!!! :flowerforyou:

I just started drinking Diet Mt. Dew & Diet Dr. Pepper ( as opposed to the full calorie versions). I was surprised that Diet Mt. Dew--20oz bottle has 10 calories--still better than the original and sometimes I need the caffeine. I try to limit my intake to 1 or 2 a day. Some days I don't have any. I think the hype is about…

All of them count!!! Congrats! :drinker:

The girls in prison will take care of her!!! Unfortunately, we have people like this in the world.:mad:

Can't say it better than this!!!!! :flowerforyou:

I too had success with WW and then when I stopped & had 2 kids I was up to 229. I really like this because no one tells me what to eat--I eat what I like, smaller portions of course, and I'm doing well. I adjust my exercise to how I'm eating. One time I had a rolo McFlurry (snacksize) & it was 500+ calories--boy did I have…

My friend and her girlfriends took one and said it was a lot of fun & a real workout!!! Have fun!!! :flowerforyou:

You always have the best recipes!!!! :flowerforyou:

You could try the hiking up hills carrying a load--they have 2 different weights--this could work, especially if it was not a straight/flat shot to the burn pile. Good Luck :flowerforyou:

I eat a lot of the same things also--it makes it easier to keep count in my head if I can't get a chance to log all of it--I basically know I can eat this stuff & not go over my limits. :flowerforyou:

I bought a cookbook called Set it & Walk Away--Light (or something close to that)--Lots of recipes, some have more ingredients. Nice variety of recipes--Chicken Tortilla soup is really good. Good Luck!!! :flowerforyou:

Same with me!!! I like candy/sweets!!! :flowerforyou:

Welcome & good luck!!! You can do it!! :flowerforyou:

I eat like I normally do and drink all of my water. I guess I didn't think about it. I do, however, sometimes splurge on my weigh in day--after I've weighed in. LOL :flowerforyou:

If I buy the larger bags or packages I try to put them into single servings. Then I try to only eat one serving--sometimes I eat 2--depends. Then I amp up my exercise for that day. I find that if I try to not eat any of the sweets/chips--I eat around them & then I will still eat what I'm craving. Good Luck :flowerforyou:

I couldn't wait. My pants would not stay up & they looked really bad with the waist all bunched up by a belt. I bought 2 new pairs of pants at my smaller size (18 to size 14). They were on a good sale & they actually fit me tighter than I usually like them--to allow for some more weight loss. You can also go to 2nd hand…

I feel the same way. I also did not put in my starting measurements so I can see a difference, but I don't have all of the results I would like. I think I didn't think it would work for me, but it has been great. Congratulations on your clean bill of health. :flowerforyou:

AMEN Sister!!! Couldn't have said it better. Same thing goes for those of us who made it off the couch to walk--not doing the 30 Day shred or P90X, but still moving a lot more than before!! :flowerforyou:

That sounds like a gluten-free diet. I think wheat is very difficult for everybody to process. Good luck--I would love to see if it works. :flowerforyou:

You are so right!!! You don't eat like its a holiday everyday. Tomorrow will be better & you'll be back on track. I like to enter my food in even if I go over!! It motivates me to eat better the next day. Good luck with your journey!!!!

Unfortunately, the pics did not come thru, but congratualations!!! & Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

I sometimes weigh myself every morning--just to see the changes--I officially weigh in every Friday am & report the number on mfp. :flowerforyou:

WOW!!!! Congratulations!!!! :flowerforyou:
