Wow! Amazing! So inspiring!

No kidding! I am a little over 5'10. I am not taller than my fiance (he's 6'2) but I certainly feel so much larger than him. He's always been relatively slim and his weight stays steady. But I have about 50 or 60 pounds on him. Like some of you have said, taller girls can carry more weight, but 60 pounds is a crazy…

I had the exact opposite problem... I can go on the elliptical forever, it's the treadmill that kills me.... It is helpful to do it at intervals for sure. Alternate between low and high resistance... I'm working on getting better at the treadmill. Gotta take baby steps. :)

Rock on...!

kudos!! great job!! :)

I used to be a potato chip fiend...! And I have never liked fruit... So I found a happy solution for both... Brothers All Natural freeze dried fruit... They are crunchy, so they satisfy my chip craving. AND I get my servings of fruit... The only place I have found them so far is at Wal-Mart (I'm sure they have them at…

You look amazing! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration!

:happy:

Your ham in about 28 oz... Divide that by 3 oz. for your serving size... It's 9.3 servings per container.

WEEK TWO! We totally have this one! My goal weight for this Saturday is 202.5

Awesome challenge! We got this one, team north!!!

I like freeze dried fruit. Particularly the brand All-Brothers-Natural... they have a bunch of different kinds. It gives you a full serving of fruit and they are crunchy and only 30 to 60 calories per serving (one bag).

Awesome! :) Take what you can get, lady! lol And I don't think I'm gonna get us any points for the chocolate thing...

Current weight: 205.2........... WHAAAAAAAA!!!!! I GAINED weight this week...! I'm fighting the urge to get discouraged. I just can't understand how I can work out every single day and be right within my calorie goal every day and gain weight... It was that damn cake I had at the beginning of the week! Argh! Oh well, I'm…

Good insight, thanks for sharing. And I think you are right, everyone's bodies are different and what is healthy for one is not healthy for another. It appears like the more you are trying to loose, the more "okay" it is to loose more in a week... I was watching that show "Heavy" the other day and the people were losing…

:drinker: Rock on; good info, thanks.

Ocean Spray has diet sparkling cranberry for sure in little cans. It's delicious. Good juice with a spash of carbonation. makes giving up soda worth it!! Give it a try! :)

I think the "bump" just keeps the thread at the top of the recent postings so it doesn't get lost in cyber space. :) Every time one of us posts a reply it "bumps" it to the top... :)

Hey, lady! :smile: I'm pretty sure I gave you my start weight... 204.4 ... My goal weight for this Saturday, the 5th, is 202.9 (one and a half pounds). And my goal weight at the end of the 7 weeks is: 192 Just want to tell everyone that I am very proud of you. And we should all be proud of ourselves for taking yet another…

I've realized what it actually felt like to be HUNGRY!! My stomach actually growls. My body TELLS me when it needs fuel. My body is actually adjusting to the eating schedule I've put myself on... Great feeling. :bigsmile:

My Papa always told me that the people who say ignorant and mean things are the people that are really insecure with themselves and they pick on other people because it makes them feel better... Holding on to that wisdom is what got me through middle school and high school. It's so true.... After I'm done being hurt and/or…

Applebee's is AWESEOME. When I visit my boyfriend (he lives 200 miles away ): we usually go out to Applebee's for lunch. There's 5 meal on their "Under 550 Calorie" menu... And I looked it up, the meal with the highest calories (the steak and shrimp) only has 500 calories. They are a good portion, too. And don't forget to…

lol, cute in the face and thick in the waist... Love it... And you are sooooo right! Keep venting! I hear ya!

I would definitely focus on finding the heathy stuff... Like if they make fried chicken, pull the skin off and only eat the flesh... As far as offending them... Maybe, depends on them, I guess. Suggestion... When you go visit, offer to make them dinner... You can pick healthy foods to fit your diet and do something nice…

You look amazing... What a hottie! Good for you! I'm proud! :drinker:

Is there a thread for team North?

Good for you!! I can ALMOST fit into my 12's again... Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the good work!

I'm in MI... I wanna join!!!

I quit cold turkey the day I started my diet and working out... Not the easiest thing in the world, but certainly not the most difficult. If you reaaaaally want to quit, you will. The key is to keep yourself occupied: stick to your workout schedule, have fun with your diet. Use it as an excuse to try new foods. I eat small…

Awesome! *clapping hands* Truely amazing. :) Good for you, dude!!
