5 lbs box of Se's Peanut Brittle $25 gift card to Applebee's New laptop Kindle case with built in light (for my kindle that I got for anniversary last year) Two Polumalu jersey's...1 Steelers, 1 USC $40 cash and lots of love and smiles from my kids :happy:

5 lbs box of See's Peanut Brittle. The card read, "You'll probably appreciatethis after this round of your diet." HMMMM...Someone obviously wasn't thinking along the right lines...

Hi Everyone! My name is Yvonne and I'm from Carsn City, NV. I am a 39 year old wife and mother of 3 (14, 12, 10) beautiful children. I started gaining weight in my early 20s...by my mid 20s I was 180; by my early 30s was well into my 200s; and I've been there ever since...slowly getting heavier and heavier. As my kids got…

Thank you for your hard work in putting this together and taking me in after the first cut off. I am excited and casn't wait to see the new me ast the end of this. Again...THANK YOU!!

I'm with the RUNTS suggestion...they must be fruit since they're fruit shaped!!! Add those...with the pizza it'll be perfect...ALL their food groups!!! LOL

I joined MFP at Thanksgiving 2010... I am 5' 3 1/2"... Beginning weight...273.4 Current weight...180.9 Ending weight goal...130-150 (I'll know when I get there) I expect to be there by June 18, 2012 (My 40th birthday)

yes I will :)

I have a lady at work that calls me "snow"...she says I'm melting away. I think I might appreciate it more if I liked her, but she's not one of my favorite people so I kinda try to stay away from her so I don't have to hear her call me that...lol Congrats and enjoy the compliments!

I cut soda almost completely out of my diet last year when I started the HCG Diet. With the diet I started drinking a gallon of water a day. Now, I can say that when I don't drink my gallon of water a day I retain water and gain...when I get back on track my weight returns to "normal". Keeping yourself hydrated with water…

I did the same when I started 30DS. after about 4 days the scale moved back down again. Don't fret!

You look amazing...thank you for sharing!

Very well said...thank you.

BUMP... I asked the same question earlier this month...I was told to log it as General Circuit Training. If there is a better option I'd like to know.

LOL

With a Sam Elliott voice...MMMM

I've had those...but the one I got the other day that floored me was, "So are you going to leave him now?" I was like WHAT????? I know my husband loves me thin or fat; he's proved it for over 20 years (not all of it married). I am doing this for me, he is proud of me for doing someting to make me happier and succeeding at…

hand weights [I use 2 lbs - 1 for each hand =)] and a towel or mat for the floor if you have hard floors or need extra cushion when on the floor.

Like you I was confused as to whether or not to be eating my exercise calories back. I went to my doctor just 2 days ago. I told him about being part of this website and depending on who you ask depends on the answer you get back, so I wanted an answer from him to clarify if necessary. I asked him if I should eat back my…

I have issues getting up in morning to do it also. I started doing it right when I get home from work before I start dinner. That way I am good and hungry for dinner but I get my workout in, too.

bump...hoping to hear this answer myself =)

It's not just you. I have struggled all my life with acne, back, chest, face...as I got bigger the problem got worse. A few years ago I did Acutane treatments for 6 months and it seemed to help with the boil type breakouts, but I still had issues. Now that I have lost 80 lbs, I notice my skin feels less oily, my breakouts…

After complaining this morning that the scale went back up almost a pound, I got dressed...my jeans don't feel as tight as they did before, I am wearing a new (smaller) sweater and my daughter commented that my clothes seem to be not as tight around the lower belly roll area...lol I have been doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day…

Woo Hoo!! Congrats!!!

I would love to...I started the 30DS on Oct 1st also. friend me if you are interested. :happy:

I make dozens of different types of cookies (mint chocolate chip, chocolate dipped apricot, double chocolate chip, red velvet, etc) for my family; then I don't lick my fingers of the dough that accumulates when putting them on cookie sheet to bake, nor do I eat even one to taste...I bag them in in gallon size bags and have…

I like this idea!!! Count me in... Started Thanksgiving 2010: 273 Current wieght: 192.5 Christmas Goal: 170 Pic on profile is current pic of me at current weight. Game on!!

I too ate for a lot of the same reasons. I also find I like to eat "comfort" food when I am down...needless to say, when the scale goes up it isn't "comfort" anymore. I have used daily weigh ins, logging meals (even the bad ones) and friends on this site to help me stay motivated. I am typically an "up" person...but on…

Before I leave the house: 2 - 20 oz glasses of water to start my day Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled, 1 1/2 celery sticks, pear, string cheese, 16 oz yerba mate tea Morning snack: 1 oz roasted almonds w/sea salt, 16 oz green tea, 16 oz Oolong tea Lunch: 4 oz chicken tenderloins cooked with garlic and rosemary, 3/4 oz colby…
