I need to drink tons of water today, because of the salty food and booze I indulged in yesterday. Of course, I was completely lazy yesterday afternoon and last night, and didn't even go to the grocery store, so here I am at work with NOTHING packed to eat. I already went and bought coffee, but resisted the urge to get a…

Will pop in the Tae Bo dvd again tonight and try to stick with it at least 30 mins. I need to create some wiggle room for my dad's birthday brunch tomorrow at Crescent City Sausage & Pie Co...yes, everything on the menu is loaded with calories and absolutely delish!

I can zip the size 12s from the back if my closet!!! Can't breath or sit yet, but I'll get there! :)
-
Down exactly one pound since this day last week. 186.0! One little pound, but it's so exciting that it's still moving in that direction. That has not exactly been a trend for me over the past 5 years of my life! :)
-
I took all my measurements when I started (waist, hips, bust, thigh, calf, upper arm, forearm, neck) - some people take more or fewer measurments. When we refer to inces lost, it's all those added up, looking at where we started vs. where we are now. While I've lost 15.5 inces since April, I've only lost two on my waist…

I'm going to stick to my calorie limit and not be an emotional eater today. Big changes to come on the workfront - I will keep you all posted as things unfold :) The old me would have already had a snickers today!! Also, I'm going out tonight to listen to my boyfriend play music and I will not be drinking because I don't…

I'm going to pop in an old tae bo DVD tonight and see how long it takes me to pass out. Thanks for posting! I'm sure the other die hards will be back :)
-
I'm trying to give up the morning iced coffee...it's about 80 calories I don't need in my life every day. If I make it through the work week without one (which is HARD because we have a Starbucks in our building!), I'm going to treat myself on Friday morning. So, I'll be drinking plenty of extra water to keep my mind off…
-
Last Friday, I was 187.3 and this Friday, 187.0. I understand weight loss isn't linear, and that is still a loss, so I’m not going to let it discourage me. Everyone keep up the good work! :)
-
Just say "Hm..I haven't lost any weight in ages..maybe you're just getting fatter and it's a perception thing??"
-
The boyfriend has a show tonight, so another night of going out with NO DRINKING! People are finally starting to realize all my ice water at the bar is a lifestyle change and that I'm not preggers (especially since I'm looking less pregnant these days!) lol I'm committed to doing my "home workout" every day this week. Hope…

- 50 jumping jacks - park in the farthest parking spot everywhere you go today (maybe good for weekends?) - 20 burpees w/o stopping These might be terrible... I'll try to think of more...
-
Yep, Hershey's makes sugar free chocolate chips...they have more of a dark chocolate taste, so a little goes a long way. Again, this is a healthy treat, I probably shouldn't have even listed here, but I'm so addicted. I also really like cottage cheese (2%) with any fruit - peaches, blueberries, pineapple or even apple…
-
After I cook dinner (but before I eat) I'm going to take about 15 minutes and give myself a mini work out (squats, lunges, push ups, burpees and a one minute plank). My man has band practice tonight, so after dinner I'm meeting up with a friend and I vow not to have a signle cocktail!
-
Definitely a good idea to get rid of the too big clothes! That's on my agenda for next weekend...no going back!!
-
For motivation, I like to buy cute and/or on-sale clothes too small - for example, I bought a size 14 skirt a while back (when I was an 18), and it took me about two months to get into it, but once I reached that point, it's a great motivation to not fall back into my old habits. I’ve always had stronger willpower to stick…

Last Friday, I was 188.8 - this Friday, 187.3. Down 1.5lbs!! I'm still not exercising (other than a few pushups, burpees, planks, squats, etc., from time to time at the house)..so maybe next week I'll drag my butt to the gym a few days and see what happens. Hope to see less of y'all (in volume) this time next week!
-
I had planned on doing 0 pushups today, so I'm glad I read this. As soon as I get home, I'll do 20 then crank out as many burpees as I can without passing out (probably about 15). Thank you all for the inspiration :)
-
Congrats to all!! My mini success story: my "every day" black work skirt prior to MFP was a size 18. This morning, I zipped up a size 14 I had bought too small b/c it was on sale...YAYY!!! :) My goal now is to get my butt in motion again...I have 0 committment to working out these days b/c I enjoy spending my non-work time…

Homemade "cookie dough" greek yogurt!!! I really could live on this extra special, dessert like TREAT! 1 (6 oz.) container of Fage total 0 plain greek yogurt 3-4 tbsp raw almond butter (or your favorite nut butter) - I use 3 2 packets of stevia (or 0 calorie sweetener of choice) 1 tbsp honey (optional) - I never add this,…

I'm still being a lazy bum as far as working out (I reallllllly need to get my head back in the game..well, more like my butt back in gear). However, I've been eating well, going out a little less and drinking water when I do, so I'm still moving in the right direction. 188.8 this morning. Not going to update my weight on…
-
I'm in! I'm mostly on MFP from my phone these days and it's so tedious to login to get the the teeny-tiny forums via phone. I'll try to make it a point to check in, though. I didn't hit the goal in the 20/75, but the scale is still moving in the right direction, so I couldn't be happier. I appreciate everyone's support and…

Bump..looks good!

Favorite Go To Snack: cottage cheese over a sliced peach Reason For Losing Weight: I started to noticie I wasn't turning as many heads...lol Also, I was diagnosed with a…

Maybe I'm taking the word "twin" a little too seriously! I know you're out there somewhere you stacked, little almost 30 year old, you! Here's my stats - 28 years young 5'1'' SW: 205 CW: 191 Goal #1: 165 (will re-evaluate once I get there!)
-
My man's playing a show tonight, so I committ to not have any alcoholic beverages :) That's the best I can do for today! By the way, I know none of you guys live around New Orleans, but you can check out Harvey Castle on facebook - that's him!
-
I eat them every day! I <3 chia and have my whole office addicted to them - we sing ch-ch-ch-chia everytime too! lol I mostly eat them for breakfast b/c I find they keep me way full. You just have to be sure to drink plenty of water with them. If you get tummy problems from them, you need to hydrate them first. This breaks…
-
I'm getting back into my workout routine. I will get to the gym tonight, no matter what. If I run out of time in the day, I will go at midnight!
-
Those individually frozen tilapia filets - to me they always have some gross pesticide/plastic flavor. I usually waste a whole lemon trying to choke down half a filet, before I give up and throw the other half away.
-
I have to get to the gym tonight. I've been so full of excuses (very few of them valid) and it's time for me to stop with my BS. I'm right where I was this day last week, no loss/no gain, so now it's time to push! I will get it done and I know I'll feel better once I do :) I'll report back tomrorow...
