Can you find some kind of compromise? I used to love the Starbucks skinny vanilla latte (grande - 130 calories and about $5) and now I've switched to the Starbucks skinny vanilla mild cafe misto (grande - 70 calories and about $3). AND....I've tried to limit having one to just 1-2 days a week!!!

Awesome job! I'm so close (49.4) and am SO looking forward to seeing that number on my news feed next week!!!

Subway 6" turkey breast on whole wheat - with cheese, loaded with veggies and fat free honey mustard sauce is pretty low calories/fat (355/7). Also, you can make any sub into a salad so you don't have the bread - even better and yummy!

BUMP - I can't see the pictures from work but it sounds like I'd better come back here tonight to look!

Why, why, why did someone not tell me this sooner! Hahaha! LOVE IT! :laugh:

THAT is definitely something you should be proud of.....what a sweet little boy :flowerforyou:

BTW - I see you're in Kelowna....I'm not sure if you were planning on travelling to Vancouver for the surgery to staying local. Just FYI, I had mine done at Lasik MD in Vancouver - they were great and very reasonable. Check out their website - they give a lot of information on how the procedures are done, etc.

YES - I had Lasik (Zyoptic (sp?) actually - it's a form of lasik and I had to go this route because my pupils were slightly larger than normal and this procedure reduces the chances of seeing "starbursts" at night). It was the BEST decision I ever made. The day of the surgery was nerve racking but really, there is a bit of…

WOW - you look great! Congratulations - be very proud of yourself!!!

BUMP - I'd like to try this! Thanks for sharing!

My "log-in day" is Fridays.....this morning I was up 3.6 and although I had a challenging week (long weekend of camping, birthday dinners, etc.) I didn't expect it to be THAT bad. Anyways, it's the week "before" so I'm hoping that has something to do with it as well. BUT - I did suck it up and log it. Hopefully next week…

Ya - what she said!!! That is amazing - you're doing so great!!! Keep going and before you know it, you won't be seeing a "2" at the beginning anymore either!

I'm definitely not an expert but it sounds like you're doing too much, too often! Listen to your body....if you need to take a couple of rest days, then do it! Or just pick 1 or the other to do instead of both (JM or gym). Most of all, don't beat yourself up or give up just because you've had a few days where your energy…

Bump! I've been doing MFP for several months but need to step up my exercising so tonight I did day 1 of C25K! Good luck to you!

Are you eating enough? I've never had that problem (haha) but I've seen time and time again on here that people up their calories a bit and low and behold, they start losing like crazy! Seems weird I know but worth a try??? Also, are you drinking enough water??

Totally counts!

I totally did this too last week - and found a bunch of jeans that were too big so they're being passed on to a good friend who is also losing! I went camping and had 2 of the guys say they didn't recognize me when I first got there! That was good to hear! Keep going everyone! We're totally rockin' it!

My votes are for #3 and #5.....cute ;o)

Interesting....for me, walking would definitely burn more calories than running because I know I will be able to walk longer than running and I will actually get out there and walk whereas running....probably not so much! Thanks for sharing! :drinker:

First thing Friday morning (after a bathroom break and before I hit the shower) is the "official" weigh in day when I record on MFP but I usually peek at least once a day.....I know that's probably not the best thing to do but I just can't seem to help myself! It does help to keep me going though and I do realize that our…

:heart: Wow - I'm impressed!!! Sounds like you have put a lot of thought in to it. My bf and I have been together for over 8 years.....I used to give cards and little gifts but it was never reciprocated (sp??) so I just stopped. He's so not a romatic/gifty type guy. Congratulations and good luck with your evening - I'm…

Me too - I'm a blubbering mess in my office at work - and I can't even see the pictures from here (will definitely look back tonight at home). This is such an awesome story and so inspiring!! Your children are very lucky to have a determined and caring mom like you and obviously you're very lucky to have such great…

All great advice. LOVE the parks! I wrote our cell numbers on a piece of paper and made sure it went in each of the kids' pockets every morning in case of separation. I also took a picture of the parking lot and number each morning when we got out of the car so if we forgot what section we were in, it was always handy.…

*LIKE* :drinker:

Good luck - I hope you love this site and app as much as I do!! Looks like we started with around the same to lose - I'm half way there (in about 5 months). How tall are you - I'm about 5'7" and my goal is about 150. Keep with it - it WILL work for you! :flowerforyou:

From just outside Vancouver as well! Good luck to everyone!!! :drinker:

Same here! WTH is up with that - haha!

I'm the same - my "official" weigh in day (first thing in the morning) is Friday and that's the only weight I record on MFP....but I'm a slave to the scale and usually peek at least once a day (usually first thing in the morning so it's somewhat consistent). I know I shouldn't but I can't help it - ha!

Can you get outside at lunch for a good brisk walk for 50 minutes or so?? You'd be surprised at how much of a difference that will make! I try to get out at lunch 2-3 times a week and it makes the afternoon much easier to get through and then I don't feel too guilty if I can't find the time or energy to exercise some more…

I would think probably adding more water so you don't get dehydrated but that would be it.
