Steak has a lot more calories than chicken. So that might be a better option. Also, half a cup of mashed potatoes would be better too. :smile: My husband is the Kitchen Manager of an outback, mmmm. Although we never eat there... lol.

I am here and still going strong! Perfect this month, and today marks day 20 of eating at or below my calories!!! Plus, I have gone to the gym 19 days in a row!

I NEVER wing it, that's how people go over. I always plan out at least a day ahead. Today: Cheerios/milk/ and 1/2 a banana cottage cheese Apple/peanut butter/carrots String cheese and grapes Baked chicken/carrots/broccoli/cauliflower/green beans String cheese (lol, I am obsessed) and either a little piece of chocolate or…

OMG! Stiff was the best book ever. Now I am reading "The American Way of Death" very good.

Whoa.

Right, that is SO LUCKY to have it taken out after the first real problem with the gallbladder. I've had issues for like 8 years with it. If I ate something bad I was puking all night, and I had attacks probably 2 times a month for 8 years. Ultrasounds came back normal. So, after 6 weeks of eating/drinking and being SO…

While I agree with most everything you're saying.. Under my nutritionist and my doctor I lost 45 lbs in 3 months safely.... and I did not go to the gym until I hit my 45 lbs mark. I do agree, but there are times that losing weight that seems like a lot fast isn't "horrible" and under doctors control. However, I did gain…

Hey! I had my gallbladder removed 6 weeks ago on Thursday. I have not had any problem with diarrhea (that a lot of people warned me about). I really don't think it effects everyone the same. I was told after 6 weeks to get back to normal. However, 4 weeks after surgery I started hitting the gym pretty hard (elliptical and…

Aww! You can do it though! It is possible only to gain about 17lbs when pregnant if you keep up what you have been doing! Talk to your doctor about it and see what they say.

You cannot compare size and weight. So either you need to find one that has it in size, or you need to weigh your spaghetti.

I do cardio every morning (walk/jog/run) or bike or elliptical for 30-60 minutes. In the afternoons I do either yoga or strength training for 15-30 minutes.

I ONLY drink water now. I have a little V-8 sometimes, but like 4 oz. I haven't had anything alcoholic in a few weeks (which is a major change for me!)

The smell of the dryer vent (like downey) when you're outside. MMM, my favorite.

I honestly hit a plateau/gained a pound once I started working out everyday (2 weeks ago) and am now finally losing again. I thought for me it was just my plateau, but at the same time I thought it might be exercise related. So who knows. Stick through it and I am sure in a week or two you'll be down to the same weight you…

I do walking/jogging/elliptical or whatever in the morning for 45-minutes to an hour everyday, and later one I will do strength training rotated with yoga for 20 minutes at night.

I drank 40 oz in about the first hour of my class and since then have been going pee every 1/2 hour, lol.

Sargento's low-fat mozzarella snacks (string cheese). OMG I eat at least one a day because it's only 50 calories! Low-fat 100 calorie popcorn is cool too. Apple and peanut butter. Like an ounce of sharp cheddar cheese. MMM I love cheese.

Whoa girl! You're a long ways away from drinking too much. I don't know how true it is, but a lot of people say 8 8oz of water (64oz total) to drink a day. I drink generally 80oz or so a day. Makes me feel fresher and lighter (oddly enough).

I want to stop being a complainer. I am so *****y all the time..... I have to learn to appreciate what is going on and not just be upset all the time.

OMG!!!! She is so adorable! *steals and runs away*

Yum!

Instead of eating with emotions try to think you're eating to support your body, and you want it there and healthy for a long time. If you're mad or upset go for a jog/walk/run/whatever! It really helps get emotions out.

A snack of string cheese. MMMM, mine is reduced fat and 50 calories.

So I posted a few days ago about this plateau. If my numbers were right today I broke free from it! But even if not, this made me feel awesome> I went to a party on Saturday after going to the University of Michigan football game (GO BLUE!) and I saw lots of friends I hadn't seen since starting to lose weight, and one that…

My waist!!! I have always had a curvy body (small waist, nice hips and big boobs) and I just can't wait until I am curvy instead of.... lumpy.. LOL.

No it doesn't it adds up to 100% :tongue:

I think it really really sucks, but the choice was very obvious. I am sad. :sad:

If the sugar is "natural" I don't count it like from fruits and whatnot.

:cry: I have the same problem. In 8 years we've been together, the only pictures from the past 6 years of my husband and I are from our wedding last year... and I don't have the up because I look so horrible in them. :brokenheart:

YES! My mom has a box right now and we were planning on trying it soon.
