Exactly! I was waiting for someone to say that!

First and foremost, it starts with your mentality. You must be absolutely ready to change. And not just "go on a diet", but to change your lifestyle. Diets are meant to be temporary, and they are meant to fail because you will make some small changes, but most likely go back to what got you here in the first place.…

i'm with you ladies..I"m a straight Canadian Whiskey gal, but I love my diet coke with it..Preferred drink! However, i do love a jagerbomb, but if I don't want to consume all those calories of a Jagermeister shot, I do like Vodka and Sugar Free Energy drink like RockStar or Red Bull

Ain't got **** planned! BF works third shift that night so barely will see him. But did buy him an ITunes gift card and lookin' for a new pair of shoes for him. I just may buy him a sexy piece of lingerie (for me to wear, not him) that I promise I'll wear when I lose this weight! Also, I know this sounds like I'm being a…

Thanks for the responses. I guess I never thought about the water weight..I did drink a lot of water yesterday..Well, 6 glasses is a lot for me since it's like torture getting it down my throat. And yeah, it could be muscle that I'm gaining too because I do notice my arms are tightening up. It's just a discouraging feeling…

I take a Bee Pollen supplement..2 tablets (550 mg each) two times a day. Twice at breakfast, twice at lunch. It's a superfood and provides you with natural energy and helps speed up your metabolism. I got the bottle at Wal-Mart for 6 bucks. It definitely makes a difference.

I have problems with this one too. Being at work and having a consistent schedule keeps me motivated throughout the week..But Saturday hits, and I'm with my daughter from morning til night, and things get off track especially since she wants more of my time on the weekends instead of watching me work out! And being cooped…

If anything, at least it only took you ONE time to learn. I have heard people boast and brag about the choices they make at fast food places and believe they are making the right decisions when they have absolutely no clue just how bad that "food" is for you. And yes, the salads at McDonald's are horribly bad, and a lot…

Changing up exercise. If you do the treadmill every day, do a workout video or a Zumba class. I play a lot of racquetball several times a week, but I also incorporate Wii Fitness games with strength training and cardio built in. I also hit the treadmill, bicycle, and free weights. Also, changing up your diet I think is…

HOLY Crap! You look awesome! It's amazing how young people look when they shed some weight from their face. You absolutely have inspired me..Keep it up!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Most doctors are not nutritionists! And if they knew what to really feed you to help nourish your body correctly, they wouldn't feed you the crap they do in the hospital! One documentary I watched called "Food Matters" stated that one of the biggest reasons people enter the hospital is…

It's definitley a RAVE when I can reflect on Dwayne Johnson (AKA The Rock) just getting out of the shower in "Walking Tall" and coming into his old room with just a pair of jeans on. Very nice! A RANT: Friends who aren't supportive because they don't think that me working out sometimes up to two times a day is "realistic".…

I have had these days for months ever since I gained my weight back after this past summer. However, I have never forgotten what it felt like to feel svelte! And that keeps me going. That air, that sense of confidence I once had when I felt really good about myself, and really liked how I looked in the mirror. That can…

So, you definitely recommend the Wii Zumba?? I am hoping I get it for V-DAy...But that's a big hope! I may have to buy that myself. I love the Wii!
-
I would love to join too! I started four weeks ago on MFP at 189; am down 11. Goal weight is 140, and I'm hoping I can get down to 160 by my Vegas trip in April. I need all the motivation and inspiration I can get. This site has already served as an inspiration tool, and has kept me motivated to no end. So, let's all help…

I have to agree with uying your vitamins at a regular store. Do some research because a lot of things I have read say that the one a day and Centrum vitamins don't do a lot for you. I wanted some energy when I first started working out and I had to stay away from vitamins that contained caffeine as they would make me…

I also live in Madison. What kinds of things do you like to do? As far as working out-wise?

Had this for dinner last night, and going home to have it at lunch today... *Grilled chicken breast with chopped up Organic baby romaine (or any lettuce/spinach, etc) inside of a Whole wheat tortilla. Also, had some steamed vegetables. It was excellent and so filling..Not too many calories either. I got the low carb (7g)…

Hello lushes! Everyone ready for SuperBowl?? My favorite drink is Canadian Club with Diet Coke. For Sunday, I'm prepared to bring some yellow and green jello shots that will be made with rum and sugar free jello though. I am also having some sugar free Jager bombs as well... During the week are my heaviest drinking nights.…

You root for the Packers ALL YOU WANT! I live in Madison, WI, and its a hell of a year for Wisconsin football. Sure, the Badgers didn't win the Rose Bowl, but they made it, and the Packers deserve it just as MUCH..Go Pack Go! Anyway, I'm worried about the eating too. Us Wisconsinites love our alcohol and food..So, the…

1994 Volvo 250,000 miles! Great car! And a Trek bicycle in the summer...Not ready for a car payment so we hold on to Vivian...

Yes! Listen to your body. I learned the hard way, and it scared me. I was doing the same thing you were. Exercising at lunch, exercising at home. Ab exercises every day, lifting weights, Wii fitness games, treadmill, bicycle machines, racquetball 5 times a week, etc. THen last Sunday, I woke up, and it hit me. I don't know…
-
WOW! You look so much younger as well. Keep it up! Do you mind if I view your food diary so I can see what you're doing??? Because you're obviously doing something very right!
-
Thanks all! I didn't cave..I headed for an all you can eat salad bar instead, and the worse thing I had was some whipped cream for the strawberries. I did have a little bit of my boyfriend's egg roll and that took the craving away for comfort food, aka bar food.. As for the weather, everyone is taking off tomorrow, and it…

I was sick yesterday. Not like the flu or anything, but stomach hurt and body just felt like it needed rest. So all day yesterday was spent from the couch to the bed and vice versa. I had absolutely no appetite. And since I eat pretty good, and my house is full of good food, except some occasional crap for my daughter, I…

Love this! I'm with ya! I am not giving up my ETOH. I'm a strict Canadian Club and Diet Coke gal. Okay, some times, I slip in a Yager bomb with Sugar free Red bull..special occasions only. I do wanna lose weight badly, don't get me wrong, but am I willing to give up social time with my friends? no. And I'm sorry, but here…

Many women stick with guys for a lot of different reasons. Some guys are just uncomfortable with women being on diets and doing stuff they don't understand. And looks like he could be a little more supportive in this area, especially since it's something you want and are really asking for his support. My BF is great in…

Totally dreading next weekend..Not cuz of seeing our Packers play, but two Superbowl parties I'm attending are going to have a lot of food I am not supposed to be eating...But hey, go Packers!
-
I eat yogurt too, and always try to pick out the "no sugar added" or sugar frees. However, yeah, I believe there are refined sugars in there if it lists high fructose corn syrup or fructose, and mostly those are in the yogurts along with aspartame.

First of all, get off that scale aka death trap. That was the beginning to my problems. All it did was frustrate and ruin me..in the beginning. i weighed myself daily, and would get so damn upset for the whole day if it betrayed me. Now, I weigh once a week, and don't worry..although I have my moments when I really, really…
