Thanks!!

I think you are doing really well! Like you said, just watch the sodium and try to up your water intake... and it's OK to have a small piece of chocolate every day- that will keep the cravings away and help you avoid wanting the entire bag of chocolate :wink:

Not sure what to say about this :huh:

Thanks!!! I'm In!

Agree - She is a very supportive friend!!! I can always count on her for an uplifting post to get my day started!! :flowerforyou:

I'm in!!

Love that book.. Read it and own it! It's one of the reasons I quit soda cold turkey and I have cut out most of my caffeine (there are a few days where caffeine is still a must or snoozing at my desk I go).... :wink:

I have to renew mine in September... Gotta love it :wink:

I did well yesterday... Finished my 10 cups of water and managed to get exercise in for the day... Today - I am 1/2 way through my water and really hoping I can at least get in 30 minutes of exercise tonight... Great Job Everyone!!!!! :smile:

Exercise for the day - Check Water - 5 cups in Bathroom Trips - 3 and on my way again :wink:

I haven't read any of her books yet, but I absolutely love her show. You can also find a lot of recipes on her website... http://www.bethenny.com/2011/03/23/my-thoughts-on-workouts-and-meal-plans/

Anything with a great beat that keeps me moving! Some music on my ipod now: Cobra Starship, Eminem, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Timbaland......and the list could go on and on...

Challenge SW 167 Challenge GW 156 Drinking water as I type :wink:

kind of like a placeholder so you can find it later on since it shows up on your profile....

bump...sounds yummy!!!

I'm in!!

Congrats so far!! Feel free to add me...I am trying to lose 40-45 pounds as well...

WOW..what an idiot! Sounds like he is in the wrong line of work - I thought cops were suppose to protect and not degrade people!

I find myself doing the same thing without knowing it. I will be doing great for a few weeks and dropping a few pounds, then I completely go off track and binge... I know part of it is stress from school/work, but I am determined to not let that happen this time. I have been doing really well this week and I will have to…

I had the same problem when I started training for the half.. Here's what I did to help - Make sure you stretch really well! Start off slow and work your way up to the distance and speed you want to go.. Increase your protein intake. I had my shoes fitted at a running store and when I asked about shin splints - their…

Agree, if I stress out about losing weight too much - I end up overeating and binging.. So I let it go and see what happens! :flowerforyou:

I use red wine vinegar... Lot of flavor for hardly any calories!!

I have to plan my calories, otherwise I end up going way over :wink:

YUM..will definitely try these!

Here's this one from a few months ago,,, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/135423-what-to-do-with-tuna?hl=tuna&page=5

I love my food scale!! Yes, I weigh everything. Most of the time the cups & other measuring sizes aren't correct, so I stick measure everything in grams that I can....

You can add me. I have the same problem with eating healthy and balancing life in general. I have a 6 yr old daughter, work full-time, and currently going back to school for my MBA.. It's a challenge, but soooo worth it!!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I eat oatmeal in the morning or a whole wheat english muffin with low fat cream cheese spread. I try to have some type of pasta/bean meal for lunch everyday. I am doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 1 and it only takes about 20 minutes. I drink water all day long, so I take many…

Oh no, I just finished the girl scout cookie madness and my dining room is finally cookie free - it won't last too long just hang in there.. Best of Luck!

Sounds Great..
