Jimmy John's Unwich is a new…

If I sleep well, I can. I don't have a set workout schedule, but I plan to walk everyday during the week. For the most part, I don't eat lunch & walk everyday on my lunch hour as weather permits & then try to get in another walk after work. If I have plans after work, I'll treadmill in the morning.

I'm gonna hang out here for some extra motivation. Aiming for 20#, but will be satisfied for half that, as I'm only 25# from goal. I'll be in Reno for New Years & that's my current motivational focus. My start weight and my goal weight are for this challenge purpose. I'd like to check in w/ weight updates once a week here.…

I keep packets of ramen noodle seasoning in my desk...the stuff is so cheap, I don't feel bad tossing the noodles away. I fill up a foam cup with hot water from the water cooler & stir in a bit of the soup packet & then top it w/ a tablespoon or two of heavy cream for a snack at work. I can usually get 4 cups from one…

what is your avg carb intake per day? You mention you are "limiting" them, just wondering if you have some wiggle room to drop them lower. Even though that rate of loss is not recommended, with your current weight & exercise, your goal for year end could easily be obtained.

We won't deny ourselves anything during vacations, I guess you could call that a break. We love to try new things & always seek out something special when away.

How you doin'...? *winkythingy*
-
I'm definitely trying this, will add cinnamon to my egg too
-
straight tequila anejo...no training wheels
-
I don't. Specifically, what kind of alcohol do you imbibe? Liquor? Beer? Mixed drinks? Wine?
-
all of this. Exercise & diet go hand in hand w/ me. If I exercise, I don't want to blow my efforts by pigging out after, keeps me in check. If I'm dieting, I feel I'm getting better results by "supplementing" my diet with exercise...mind games w/ myself, but great results nonetheless.

I get up early & treadmill, walk on my lunch hour & walk the park on my way home...or a variation of all three. I've had a desk job for the past 20+ years & gained/lost over 100#

personally, I have no interest in looking like a movie star, but I would like clothes to fit and look properly and be completely confident intimately. I will be seeking surgery next year.

wearing my new shirt today! Not bad for a 45 y/o woman lol I'm finally back in the "zone"...I think I'm gonna breeze through this month's PMS cycle unscathed, woot.

every two sizes I lost, I replaced a few necessary clothes items...for work & play, not an entire wardrobe.

I appreciate your comments Kitn!

Large amounts of protein is hard on your kidneys, esp w/o consuming water-retaining carbs. Drink your water.

if you value your kidneys, drink your water.

most fast food places easily accomodate bunless sandwiches these days as well I was having a craving for arby's one day & got myself a medium roast beef w/ lettuce, tomato, mayo, no bun (they put it in a bowl for me, like a roast beef salad lol). I've done this at McDs too...maybe not the best option, but it kills the…

How close were you to goal when you had this done? I'm planning on consulting next year for myself, but I want to be completely down to goal first, thinking that will net me the best results. Did you also have to have any muscle recontruction with it? I've read those that have had children, it's sometimes necessary along…

A year ago, I hit a high from my low two years prior after losing over 100#. I took a new position at work three years ago & stress ate my way back up 40#+. Now, I'm down 25 of that 40# gain & still coming down...hope to be close to my goal by the end of the year, if not hitting it. I'm avoiding the scale & enjoying…

It doesn't sound like you are much of seafood eaters, but I know besides avoiding organ meats, shelfish should be avoided like the plague. Shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. My dad's gout will flare like crazy if he touches an ounce of the stuff.

"extra light tasting" olive oil is my go-to, general purpose oil...I use it for everything except deep frying.
-
I eat number 10 on the list: 10. Reese's pumpkin...or egg...or xmas tree... all depends on the season, respectively. We do keep whole milk in the house & I will drink that on occassion, but only a juice glass amount. Nothing else on the list really.
-
are you drinking enough water? sounds like dehydration as well.
-
welcome! you may want to use slightly more heavy cream because there would be less liquid using splenda, but yeah, would work just fine!
