  • Have compassion for yourself. Make today better than yesterday and go from there. Life is a precious thing, do what makes you happy and stick with it! Do not give up just because you have a bad week/month. I have been on this journey for over one year with a lot of ups and downs, but soon you will see the overall line…

  • I just bought new Aasics Exalts yesterday and I took them out running today and I really like them. They are light but supportive, I don't like the feeling that my foot is too able to move around when I am running or I get foot cramps. I do cardio at the gym, mostly elliptical and I like Aasics for this as well.

  • Grilled zucchini and asparagus with sea salt, pepper and garlic with olive oil are a low budget (in season) wonder for sides. My fiance love this and he isn't a huge fan of green things. I have also struggled with finding healthy sides that don't cost a lot and are on the easy side. Look up some recipes for acorn squash…

  • I did this exact same thing, it was hard for me to not eat a ton when craving a smoke, I think you may exchange one thing for another when you quit something. You have done a fabulous job! Quitting smoking is such a wonderful thing to do for yourself, and adding in eating right and exercising makes you feel a ton better in…

  • I like to pack a (small) amount of nuts, pistachios are lower calorie, I have the salty crunchy craving thing too. I used to bring the 100 cal popcorn bags, but they are not very good for you I guess. Pita chips and hummus is a good one too.

    in Lose weight or no wedding--- is this right? Comment by mrsolsonwaters3 March 2014
  • Congrats everyone! I'm getting hitched March 2015! A destination wedding in Mexico. I would like to lose 25 to 30 lbs and be able to wear the "beachy" dress of my dreams, and perhaps break out a swimsuit as well!
