We like to do Mexican pork roast. Throw in a pork loin and add a bit of water or broth to the bottom of the pocket. Sprinkle generously with Adobo seasoning (I think there are low sodium versions) and then squeeze two limes over the roast. Cook on low all day. Serve with tortillas, & fajita type fixings.

I keep luna bars or Clif minis in my purse. They don't go bad or get bruised and they are super filling.

Me! I shoot for at least 30 minutes 6 days per week and I'd really like to step up my losses!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Well I just went and looked at your profile and your pictures. And you my dear, are a freaking amazing inspiration to me! I started this journey at 286 the first of this year and I've lost nearly 27 pounds. And I'm still working on it. But you've done it! You are awesome and you need to stop being so hard on yourself.…

I've read the book, but honestly I've found it a bit daunting. I'm trying to clean up my diet little by little, but I'm not a vegetable person so it's been hard. I think the hardest part for me is that I have certain meals that I eat almost daily (breakfast and lunch) that would not be considered clean, but I feel like…

They also sell it at drugstores like Walgreens & CVS. I actually saw a huge double pack of Anti Monkey Butt Powder in the Sam's over the weekend. I don't use it much now, but when I was training for the 60-mile 3-Day race we sometimes did 12-18 miles in one day. I used it a lot when we were heavy in the training.

Deodorant works wonders for me. And Anti-Monkey-Butt Powder. That stuff is magic.

I drink a lot more than 8 cups per day, and when I don't my energy level and weight loss suffer. My favorite water bottle holds 24 ounces and I try to drink that at each meal and snack and after working out. So most days I get somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-18 cups.

Week 1: 265.2 Week 2: 263.4 Week 3: 265.8 Week 4: 265.0 Week 5: 261.8 Lost 3.2 pounds this week! But only 3.4 overall. Need to really buckle down and do better! I'm definitely losing inches though. I went to put on a skirt today to wear and it was ridiculously big. And I wore it less than a month ago - it was loose then,…

Well I'm 5'10 and as of this morning I weighed 261.8 pounds. I can run for 40 minutes straight on a good day and I started the C25K at the beginning of the year. It took me a while and I had a few setbacks but I did it. So absolutely yes - you can do it as well.

There are two that stick out in my mind... My step-mother telling me when I was about 20 that my pants had not shrunk in length - my *kitten* had gotten bigger which made them shorter. And when I walked the three-day this past fall, I was climbing out of the very tiny tent and remarking that it would be very hard to share…

Absolutely amazing! And good luck on your 5K!

I have to stick to a schedule. For example today's schedule: 6:30 wake-up, feed boys, pack lunches, get boys to school by 7:30. 7:45-8:45 is workout time, and then I eat breakfast and shower and get ready to go to work at the yarnstore at 10am. I only work one day a week. On the other weekdays I do the same thing and then…

I like Wal-Mart's Danskin stuff and Target's Champion/C9 stuff a lot. They have moisture wicking fabrics in shirts and different bottoms which make a big difference!

Week 1: 265.2 Week 2: 263.4 Week 3: 265.8 I did awful this week! I did do some overeating, but it's also that time where my body holds onto every ounce of water it can! Hoping for a better week next week!

I am. I hated it! It didn't work for me at all. My friend though is having great success with it - but I think she undereats her points on a regular basis.

Bumpin' for later!

I'm doing Couch to 5K and running and walking outside. And I also do the Firm Transfirmer series dvds. The only downside to those is the the "transfirmer" thingie is pricey, but you should just be able to use a regular step for it.

I am frequently in the red on my protein. I don't worry about it. I figure I'm trying to keep/build muscle as I lose weight, so the extra protein can't hurt as long as I am not overeating my calories.

There is a mom at my boy's school who every single time she saw me would ask if I lost weight. This was when I was not losing weight and actually probably putting some on. She and her children are painfully thin and I don't know if she was trying to shame me into trying or what. I just stay away from her now. My close…

You are changing! Awesome success at I-Hop. Today I went to one of my favorite restaurants and only ate half the wrap I ordered so I could save the calories. I left there wondering, "Who is this person?!?!" Weekends are definitely the hardest - but you're doing great!

Lost 1.8 lbs this week! Off for a morning run with the family!

You look awesome!

You look fabulous!

Now I'm dancing to this one too - this is one of my favorites! The Blues Brothers Revue at Universal Studios plays this a lot and it is so much fun watching everyone shake their tail feather!

Love it! That's Not My Name by the Ting Tings

102 calorie s'more - 1 graham cracker square, 1 marshmallow, 1 dove promise candy - heat in microwave for 10 seconds - so good! I only do this right before bed though so I'm not tempted to make a bunch. 115 calorie waffle treat - 1 nutri-grain low-fat waffle, 2 tbsp fat free whipped topping, 1/2 cup sliced strawberries.…

I've heard good things about e-mealz.com as well, but I haven't tried it out yet. Tonight's easy dinner is a ground-turkey & green bean stir fry. I fry up the meat, add some spices - garlic, pepper, a smidge of soy sauce, and some red pepper flakes, etc. Then I add in a few cups of chopped fresh green beans and cook them…

Wow! That is awesome!
