If all days were good days, where would we get our motivation to do better and improve? Those bad days are what makes us stronger. Be thankful for them and do better the next time. It's when you start having bad weeks/months that you might want to consider seriously changing some things!

Just a quick clarification of the "muscle weighs more than fat" mantra. {{{ }}} this much fat = 1 pound { } this much muscle = 1 pound So, 1 pound is one pound but 1 pound of muscle LOOKS much better than 1 pound of fat! If you are working that hard you have to be burning up that fat and building muscle which would…

370 calories in one bean burrito. Now I know why I haven't been to taco bell in at least 3 months. It wasn't even good so I didn't finish it! It was almost like I knew how bad it was for me so I couldn't eat all of it. Never again, Taco Bell, will you trick me!

I can't wait to lose more of my "girls" either. They have slimmed down a bit but not enough to wear I will go out and try on new bras yet. I'd like to be a nice 36C and right now I'm at a 42D. I'd also like to go and be measured by a professional. I hear that makes all the difference. Most women wear the wrong size bra. I…

My mom has one which she is giving to me. She says it works well and really gets your heart pumping but she has arthritis so it's too hard on her knees anymore. I have yet to really get moving on it but I plan to try this weekend! Good luck. I'm hoping it helps w/ these womanly hips I'm trying to minimize! LOL

Maybe try a fat free frozen yogurt as the base. I've tried to make the homemade Caramel Frappe and came close but not identical. If you search for the recipe and then swap out the fattening stuff for less fattening stuff I think that's the only way you'll come close w/o the 500 McD's calories!

Congrats to all you honest weight license bearers! =) This is funny...I had to check mine too! Woowww..oooppsss! Mine is way off but I'm in the process of changing that! I doubt that I will ever be 130 again (that was my weight before having my first of 3 children) but I'm shooting for 145! Holy crap...I don't think…

nice goals and definitely treat yourself along the little victories...not w/ food though. Maybe a romantic weekend w/ hubby when the jeans fall off....he'll like that one! LOL

Amazing progress! Great start!

Nothing like some girl fashion to make you feel great! Congrats and shake it girl! lol

Congrats! The victories along the way make the ultimate goal seem that much more reachable! You can do this! =)

You should feel so proud! You look wonderful!

Beautiful! You can totally see the loss! Great job! You can do this! =)

I wear my regular bra with a high impact sports bra over it. I don't like the uni-boob look most sports bras give and this is a great fix for that. BTW - I jog and I'm a D so it does the trick!

Beautiful! What an accomplishment! Keep up the good work! =)

I like the 1/2 Spicy Chicken Caesar salad at Wendy's - 420 calories & very filling. I haven't had the McD's ones.

I'm a chronic weight checker too and I've been weighing in at the gym which has a digital scale that is down to the ounce! I need a new scale at home b/c I no longer like the "non digital" ones. I figure, what the heck, I might as well keep in mind what's happening and the daily victories mean a lot to me. I also record…

First thing that came to mind was a fruit smoothie made with lowfat frozen yogurt! Yum! You definitely need to take some vitamins and possibly try some fish oil. The smoothie would help you get the calories you need without all the fat if it were made w/ icecream and it will be fast and easy to make. Plus, with it being…

Glad you decided to join! The website itself and the encouragement and success stories from other members is very motivational! We can do this!!! =)

In my opinion you're setting yourself up for disaster! You have to reward yourself for a job well done or you'll probably start caving in a lot more. You have to give yourself something to look forward to!! Maybe a short term goal such as "if I go 3 days w/o x grams of sugar I will reward myself w/ x". Once you're able to…

Keep up the great work! Very motivating and I'm so happy for you! =)
