Put the cookies away!! (Put the in the freezer, back corner of the cupboard, etc) Ma'am, step away from the cookies!!!

You can do this!!! I don't think of the big number personally, but the little goals. Get under 300lbs, CHECK! Get under 275lbs, almost check (1lb off) Next is get under 250, 225, 200,........... You get it. If I think of the BIG number (170ish) I start to think it is impossible. Reward yourself and don't let others get you…

Honestly, I quit "cold turkey". I was, sad to say addicted to coke/pepsi. I felt the NEED to have one. I just started doing this: Once a week when I go to the produce market (it's like a store with fresh produce and seafood) grab a diet A&W root beer, if I want it. Honestly after not having carbonation for so long, I takes…

Thank you for posting this video with modification, I think will try these!

WTG!!! I wouldn't stop bragging either!!!!!

A-maz-ing!!! Wow, you have improved so much!! WTG on dead lifting so much and RUNNING!!! I'm working on the running part and hearing all of these fantastic stories about non-runners turning into runners is really hyping me up!!

Woot!! Way to go!!! Doesn't it feel great??

I sent you a friend request. I know you can do this!!

Hey girl! Feel free to add me. I have a 100+ to lose also and I'm serious about it this time!

Sweetners: dried honey and Truvia

I do my "cardio" on an empty/fasted stomach every morning. I have heard you should fuel the burn/work out, but it works out better for my schedule to "get up and at 'em" first thing then shower and fix breakfast.

Also, I will have one cup (maybe two!) of unsweeten silk milk, I prefer Blue Diamond with a squirt of sugar-free chocolate syrup. One cup is 45 cals! Two cups is 75 cals! Lowest cal. Chocolate Milk I have ever had! :)

Same here! Super yummy and "good for you" The also have a fudgy chocolate "cake" with is a good sized little cake for ONLY 50 cals!!!!

Amen! You can do this!!

I was diagnosed with Cancer 5 years ago. It totally changed my out look, life is precious. I decided to "get healthier" after I finished treatments. It was a little too soon, as I found myself sick regularly. I am back now to change my outlook on life and get healthy, if not more me, at least for those who love me.

Sorry, late and tired.... Okra. No, I don't think steaming will help... this tends to be a slimy veg, but I will give it a try.

Look for grilled chicken, fish, shrimp (sans the butter!) Side with a baked potato or sweet potato, and steamed veggies With this combination you should rock this lunch out! :)

WOOT!!! WTG! You look awesome! Amazing transformation, I know you feel awesome!

I just found her workout videos, I haven't tried them I don't think yet. I saved a few to my favorites on Youtube, so I can remember to try them!!!

I asked this last week, I was doing the 5 mile with "boosts" (jogging) and a few people said it fell more under low impact aerobics. Love Leslie Sansone's videos, she is very cheery and keep me motivated. I knocked out her 2 mile express last night after I didn't get in a full workout earlier. I also do the free ones on…

Thank you for posting this! I made this tonight with an non-stick Olive Oil Spray. Once it was cooked/slightly charred I sprinkled it with a touch of parmesan cheese while still hot (right out of the oven). Family hit tonight. I think I knocked off some of the calories this way. 1 head of cauliflower: 210 cals Olive Oil…

Amen! Give the lord your troubles. :heart:

I get stuck in a rut also. Here are a few ideas I use for sandwiches: Tomato, cucumber and avocado sandwich. (I also like tomato and cucumber sandwich.) Grilled cheese or grilled cheese with tomato or tomato and quality deli meal and cheese Peanut butter and banana (can make open faced too, it seems like more food!) Egg…

About the second or third week I was pretty tired, even with good amount of sleep. It all evened out after a few days. I was just thinking that it was from my body getting adjusted from being a slug and eating like crap to more active eating better.

You've got this!!! I know you can do this! Take it day by day and keep your goals in mind.

Fantastic!! Amazing transformation!!

You'll be OKAY!! Take the time you need to recover. Mean while, eat right and even try some alternative exercises, like working the arms with weights, etc. ((HUGS)), don't let this get you down.

ME! I have 150 to lose, but my main goal right now is to get under 200.

I haven't found this on the online site, but on the phone app, they have a graph with your weight lost on it! :)

I've been telling myself to get a tape, but have not managed t get one yet. I would like to know too! :wink:
