LOL I think it's like any other site. People sometimes think their way is the *only* way

bump! thanks for posting! yum

This is me-in a nutshell. Every so often I see a glimpse of something I like-but its immediately followed by a "but I hate this more" and "I've worked so hard and I still don't see what I want to see"

I wish I knew for sure! But I drink two cups nightly....just because it's comforting to me and sort of "signals" me to stop eating for the day. After dinner, I have tea and it's become habit now....

I still havent found a way to deal with this even after losing 55 pounds...it's intense for me. This week you'll find a laundry list of my "survival" snacks...lol (pop chips-PB2-hot green tea-vitacakes-dark choc chips-mini bars-hot choco) Honestly, I just try to keep as many under 100 cal snack items I can around....I'm…

"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." ~~Be not afraid of going slowly-only of standing still~~

No one understands me when I say it! I'm glad to see someone who always feels that way! People tell me I'm weird when I explain how I'd rather exercise alone. Everyone says "I push harder when I have to compete with someone" so to them, they say it helps to exercise with someone. (they don't wanna look weak etc) I don't…

I'm speechless! You look so good! Congrats on all that hard work!!

Awesome! You look fantastic! I love Jillian workouts, it's hard to make myself do anything else!

I actually get "checked out" way less! -probably because I have LESS self confidence. I know it makes a big difference. When I was 60 pounds heavier I focused on having fun and enjoying everything life had to offer not caring what anyone thought. Now, I feel sheltered. Just wondering if anyone out there is on the flip side…

Alisha! First off you are AMAZING-you have put in more time energy and effort than anyone I have ever seen here. Maybe eating the same thing day in and out just has you feeling a little pissed! I've been at this dieting for 2.5 years now! I've realized that I'm never gonna look like YOU body wise! Because frankly, I just…

I did a fitness boot camp 3 times. It was somewhat "military style" about 30 min of running and cardio exercises. high knees- squat jumps- jumping jacks-plank exercises Then alternating days of legs (squats-lunges) and arms with 5-10 pound weights- push ups-sit ups, etc Also did activities such as pulling tires,…

Yum! I use pistachio pudding in my protein shakes-this one sounds yummy:smile:

Did I read that right....Coffee and Bad in the same sentence? :wink: I love coffee, have to have my ONE large cup every morning, unfortunately my creamer sets me back 70 calories, but some things are just WORTH it! It's my one vice!

Agreed. I'm constantly being told I need to eat a burrito or and oreo.....and that I'm looking like a bag a of bones etc etc. But everyone is right, you are the only one who has to live in your body. Be proud of your healthy choices, shrug it off, that will probably bother the person making the comment more so and then…

Take it one day at a time. Just like everything else...there's good days in bad days. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on going. What helps me is places like this site-I get emails by the dozens daily from every weight loss or dieting site I can-I need constant reminders! And everyday my only thought is…

Well said! Took me TWO years to lose 60 pounds!! Patience is right!

Thanks-sorry first time to try a picture post :smile:

Egg white fritattas loaded with any veggies(spinach, sweet potato and mushroom is my fav) and sprinkled with parmesan cheese no matter how I make them they always come in about less than 200 calories. I eat them breakfast lunch or dinner and they always fill me up and always satisfy. 1 cup egg whites 1 cup any veggies 2…

Yep that one too!

Ohhh... Semisonic Closing time... Bittersweet symphony The verve pipe 4 non blondes whats up Candyman knockin boots :happy:

You look awesome! Congrats on all your hard work!

Great thanks! Your profile pic is gorgeous:-)

Try switching up the types of foods you eat....increase water....those are two things that helped my plateaus. I thought I was drinking plenty but then I just started filling up a gallon jug and realized I wasn't drinking but maybe half of it a day. I also didn't think I was consuming lots of carbs because I fill up mostly…

All in my profile:-)) ""Being challenged in life is enevitable, being defeated is optional." " Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. " "your biggest competition is yourself, once you get past that-you can do anything" If you think you can you…

bump-curious as well :-)

Exactly. Not thinking that's a very safe goal to have. I always say to myself, who am I to say how much someone should weigh...I normally would say whatever they feel best at. But really, my almost 10 year old weighs 89 pounds...sooo...

Your 110 pounds trying to lose 22 pounds?

I completely understand those feelings... but I also feel that these feelings actually are the ones that prevent me from doing what I want. Competition does not work for me. I actually end up with that whole self sabotage feeling and then have a negative attitude because I believe those are feelings of fear! I find, when…

Not only is that amazing, you are GORGEOUS! Congrats!!
