Its a very interesting article. Thank you for sharing it. Definitely worth giving some extra thought to what the article is suggesting.

I'm in too! Fingers crossed (and hard work) hopefully I can drop some weight! (I don't expect to lose any weight before Christmas but if I can maintain where I am during this crazy food season, I won't be disappointed). SW: 244.5 CW: 220 GW: 160ish (I'm really not picky, I would be more than happy at that weight!)

I have about 1 cup of fruit flavoured yogurt and a tablespoon or two of chia, I usually snack an hour or two later with cucumber slices or grape tomatoes.

I love tea, it's my favourite. Tetley White Raspberry, or Lipton's Island Peach Mango White Tea, or Tetley's Strawberry Tea or Lipton's Spiced Cinnamon Chai (I love tea and drink one travel mug every morning for a warm-me-up especially in winter). I love tea.

I can totally relate. I also go hardcore for a month or 3 at a time then I get bored or I want to go and do other stuff, same goes with portion control for me, I'm good for about 6 to 8 months and then I just want food. I don't know why.

I've never had a mouse in any house I've lived in but that doesn't mean we don't have them in the yard. We've been pretty lucky. They say to use bounce sheets to help deter them.

5'4" 245 lb 16-18 depending on brand

I force myself to drink my morning tea (its about 16 oz) before noon and the water from my water bottle (24 oz) in the afternoon and evening twice to thrice daily. I say force because I just forget to drink, I may be thirsty but I'm usually so intent on my work that I don't think about drinking anything, same goes with…

and this is the reason I don't work out in a gym. If people care this much about some dude wearing jeans, what are you really thinking about the overweight person working out. Geez. Grow up.

I will give this a shot. I will need reminders to weigh-in cause I usually forget. So feel free to add me and remind me! SW: 245 CW: 238 GW: 145 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (5/01 Thur): 5/03 Sat: 5/10 Sat: 5/17 Sat: 5/24 Sat: End of Month (5/31 Sat):

Sounds yummy! Good for Soup and Sandwich Wednesday!

bump (I feel like I'm playing volleyball with all the bumping going on, lol!) Thanks for sharing!

awesome! Thanks for the ideas! :) Now I can make my knock-off Earl of Sandwich Thai Wrap! :smile:

I've tried it with zuchinni and it gets all watery, any tips for ways to prevent that? Thanks! :)

sounds awesome! Definitely in my "to make" pile! :smile:

Sirius - The Highway - just background noise

I thought my husband's excuse (treadmills are boring cause the scenery doesn't change, but he won't watch TV while doing it and walking outside gets repetitive - I'm like WTF do you want?). I chalk my husband's not exercising to just plain laziness!

Before I went on bc I weighed 160, within 6 months I gained 20 lbs, nothing in my life had changed either that would cause me to jump that much. A close friend of mine went on the bc shot and she gained 80 lbs, its hormones really. When I spoke to my doctor he admitted that any form of bc can affect a person by making them…

I just learned something! Thanks! :smile:

great job! :smile:

yogurt

this is my problem also, I'm not good with serving sizes cause I would just eat the whole thing.

This is a good recipe for Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup, I'm sure it doesn't have to be done in a slow cooker. My only comment is that I would do the noodles separate so they don't go mushy. Its a hearty soup, only 397 cal per serving, its really quite filling, I made it yesterday and my husband and I each only had one bowl. If…

I workout in the evening either right after work or after supper around 7:00, its the only part of my day I have time/make time.

I was forgotten about or anonymous, lol, I lived in the same town of approx. 350 until I graduated, I remember working at the local grocery store and hearing the comments from customers that they never knew my parents had a daughter, LOL, even the principal of my school (we had 80 or 90 students K-12) didn't know who I was…

a salami sandwich on rye with plain French's yellow mustard ----> 220 cal

We always do BYOB. I know that we could drink off someone else, but I was raised to bring a bottle for the host, lol, usually by bottle meant it was a 26 of rye or vodka or a couple dozen beer, everyone shared off it, so it wasn't just the host who was pulling out. I think its perfectly acceptable.

I need the motivation, I hope this is it for me! Week # 1 – March 3rd -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: -- Tue: 20 Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 160 / 180

I just buy in bits and pieces, I start with one pairs of pants and a couple tops, something to get me through to the next size down. I would also sometimes buy a size smaller as a "motivation" and try them on every couple weeks until they fit.

sounds good to me, I could use a boost in the morale boosting department! Add me! :smile:
