You should be proud...that would be a huge accomplishment for me....I love, love, love tootsie rolls...I think that bag would not have lasted a week with me....Well done!:smile:

I have the shape ups and can not wear them because they hurt my arch....apparently I am someone whose feet hurt with too much support.

Great work! Keep it up!

This is just me, but I have to eat enough, or I will lack energy the next day. I have to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories or I won't feel right the next day. When I need to make up some calories, I usually will eat some nuts- very good for you and high in calories. That way I don't have to eat too much, I also like…

Pilates, yoga, zumba, wii games, xbox games, walk around the neighborhood, aerobics dvd.......I exercise at home all of the time...I don't want a gym membership. Had one and didn't do it....I just pop in a dvd or a game and I get going....I also walk my dog 2 miles per day.

I am down 22 lbs and down at least one dress size. I think exercise has a lot to do with it. I know a couple of women who didn't lose alot of weight, but lost tons of inches and were down many sizes just from the inches....

It is sad....she is going to have to change her inside if she wants lasting change on her outside....Sometimes it is about self love. She has to learn to love herself. I hope she makes that change soon.

Awesome work!!! Keep it up!!!

You know, a little anxiety before starting something important is good. That is what keeps you on the track to doing a good job.....but you don't want too much anxiety. I am sure you are going to do a great job....In no time you will be an pro....all things new are a little scary. Just do your best. That is all anyone can…

That's awesome! Wish they would do that down here. Good to know about the Jambalya bowl at popeys.....220 ...gotta remember that. ...

I don't think my problem is motivation. I just get so wrapped up when I get on here. I glanced at the computer on my way out to walk the dog 2 miles and here I am. But, this is the last post. I'm going now. lol....for me its not motivation....because I always get it in....its more like self discipline. lol.....Try…

I have a problem with energy when I don't consume enough calories the day before, during TOM, when I haven't had enough water the day before and when I don't eat enough of the right foods.....what I mean about that last one is if I eat alot of processed or sugary foods the day before I don't have energy. I can be within my…

Welcome back! Hope this journey is the beginning of the rest of your life. Like someone previously posted, I rarely eat salad. If I had to eat diet food for the rest of my life, I would not be able to stick to this. You need to find some healthy meals that you enjoy and don't mind eating on a regular and that way it would…

he is right. When your body gets thirsty, then you are already in the process of being dehydrated. If I drink a cup when I wake, a cup with each meal and a cup before and after I exercise, and a cup before bed, I have had enough and don't have to think about it....and I don't ever feel thirsty.

Welcome to the site. You CAN do this. As long as you cut calories, but not too low, and exercise, you will lose weight. 1 to 2 lbs per week is a healthy weight loss. So good luck on this journey, and we are all here to support, encourage, motivate and cheer you along the way.

I am on my 3rd week of 30 day shred, and the first week I didn't gain or lose, the second week I gained 1 lb, and this week I have lost 4. I was freaking out too, but what kept me going was that my clothes were fitting looser and last week I was able to get into some jeans that were too small for me 2 weeks prior. So,…

I don't keep track of my water. What I do is drink a glass with every meal and I will also drink 1 or two cups of green tea-which I just read hydrates you like water does-and when I am at work, on my breaks I sip from the water fountain on each one. I also drink a cup after a work out. Glad to see you are still here. : )

Welcome to the site. It is a great tool. I don't know what I would do without it. We are all here to support one another. It's great. Good luck and hope it is the key to lasting weight loss and good health.

I don't plan for the week, but I plan for the day. When I wake up in the morning I figure out everything for the day....I also plan on what I will cook for supper the night before. I change my mind too much to plan for the week. But, I also go to the grocery more than once a week.

Good luck! It seems you have set your mind to it, and once that happens it is yours.

Bananas are very good for you. Here are some nutritional facts about them: Banana Nutrition Facts * A banana contains Vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber. * Bananas do not contain sodium, fat or cholesterol. * The Vitamin C, which is found in bananas, helps the body to defend and heal against infections. This vitamin…

I would choose popcorn, because I don't care for cereal....It is also natural-not processed and if you air pop it, it is healthy for you, but if you do like your dad.....use olive oil. But, if you absolutely love them both, just get them both and alternate between the two...one night snack on popcorn and another night…

That is wonderful!!!! Keep it up!

Nope....I live here too, and I only splurged on one day. I did work this past Friday through Tuesday, so maybe that is why it wasn't so hard for me. Luckily Mardi Gras only comes once a year....

I don't understand it either. I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and have been adding 30 to 50 min of cardio with it, and I gained a pound. But, my clothes are much looser than last week. I was bummed, because I have a long way to go to get to my goal, but I told myself that I will not give up. I am exercising for my…

That's AWESOME!!!! Keep up the great work.

I love spinach. I like it like that with a slice of turkey bacon in it as well....when you saute everything, you fry the bacon in as well, and to save on calories, cut the oil, just use spray, or 1 tbsp of oil.....

From what I have seen, this has to become a way of life...otherwise it will never stick. This isn't something that you just do until you reach your goal and then go back to the way things were. This is why I am so focused on finding food and meals that I love and won't mind eating on a regular basis, why I am finding…

Great Job!!! Very inspirational!!!

That is AWESOME!!!! WTG!!!! CONGRATS AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!:happy:
