If you have a Keurig, look into Grove Square French Vanilla Cappuccinos (and other flavors too). They are so tasty, and 80 cals for the cup.

Well the only thing I've had to eat so far today is a Light and Fit cherry Greek yogurt. But I started some applesauce in the crock pot and I am SO looking forward to it!

I hit my year of logging consistently (joined in 2011, fell off the wagon for awhile) on 8/8. In that time, I lost 32 lbs as well. In the 3 weeks since then, I've lost 5 more lbs so I'm up to 37 now. It's nothing to be ashamed of! You have stuck to it when many people crash and burn, or worse, keep telling themselves they…

^THIS. Also when Amy said goodbye. I know on NCIS tears are very likely when Ziva leaves. ETA: Fullmetal Alchemist (the original anime). Maes Hughes. Every time.

The only thing I really have to contribute here is that Fresh by Brookshire's in Tyler is amazing! Although it's a grocery store rather than a restaurant. So maybe if you just need a snack? I am very fond of their gelato bar though :) I need to spend more time in that area- my sister lives there.

:smile: I actually told my husband the other day that my clavicles starting to show was the thing about losing weight that actually made me feel sexy.

I'm not a runner. It's not my thing. I've walked 2 Color Runs. I love walking the AHA Heart Walks- by far my favorite. They're 5k, it's for a cause I'm passionate about, they're family friendly, and unless you register as a runner, EVERYBODY walks. I finished my first one in 1:30 (this was before I started getting…

I have a mini dachshund and a rat terrier... both were rescues at different time that almost literally fell in my lap. They are best friends and both think they rule our house... which they kind of do.

Hi! Welcome! I've never had a problem with water, but I know that it's a big issue for a lot of people around here. My own husband doesn't like it plain- he adds lemon juice to his so that it has a flavor. I've seen others use Mio or Crystal Light (depending on what your views on artificial sweeteners are these may or may…

I have the Wii game, and I burn anywhere from 500-700 cals an hour, depending on the intensity of the songs (700 being the very high intensity ones). I eat some of my calories back but usually not all of them. It depends on how hungry I am that day :)

I live in Vegas. If you have the opportunity, check out Fresh & Easy. It's similar to Trader Joe's, and they have some awesome options for lunch and for fruits and veggies. There's also a Whole Foods at the south end of Las Vegas Blvd if you are staying on the Strip. I don't know if you'll be having dinner in the gates or…

When you read a post where OP refers to his girlfriend as "GF" and you spend too much time wondering what the post has to do with anything gluten free...

Everyone looks so amazing :)

Heaviest (about 45-50 lbs and six years ago): During (about 20 lbs ago): Yesterday:

I have this interesting crisscross of scratch scars on my right elbow. It's how my 2 year old rat terrier, Lily, announces she's not getting enough attention. Or that she wants under the covers because she's too lazy to burrow in herself. She is also jealous and will bite the other dog's nose if she feels like the other…

I went to the store today to get some new jeans. I thought I was a 16, but had to get down to 12 before I found a pair that fit.

whoa. I guessed myself 15% bigger.

Bump for massive entertainment value!

^All of this (although I do like catfish). Oregon girl living in Vegas for the past eight years. I miss REAL seafood (especially bay shrimp and dungeness crab), Tillamook products other than cheese (although I have recently found some at WinCo), things made with marionberries, Taco Time, and drive through coffee stands…

Major hugs, OP. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2007 and could not get the scale to budge. I was originally prescribed 1/x Metformin a day. In 2011 they bumped it to 3/x a day and it's been since that bump that I've been really able to lose weight and keep it off. It is frustrating because the progress can be slower than…

Yep! I do Zumba Core on the Wii mostly, occasionally level 1 of the 30 day shred. Sometimes I will use Endomondo to track walks, but Vegas in the middle of summer is too darn hot to do those much right now.

I started with Wii Fit, moved to Wii Fit Plus, and I still use that to weigh (and occasionally step when I want to workout and watch TV). I currently use Zumba Core for Wii and I LOVE it.

My thoughts on this are taken from one of L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables books: "It sounds quite romantic to be `slender,' but `skinny' has a very different tang."

The crockpot can be your best friend! There are lots of creative ideas on Pinterest or you could google "crockpot recipes."

cookingchanneltv.com, look for "Not my Mama's Meals" or "Drop 5 lbs with Good Housekeeping" I agree with cooking light too!

I follow a Pinterest board devoted to this very subject: http://pinterest.com/indyink/dont-compare-yourself-to-celebrities/

Native Oregonian, Vegas transplant here!

Most recently, Donut Shop coffee with vanilla almond milk! :)

Don't give up! I would definitely recommend the pool to you. I had a knee injury in September and I couldn't even do the elliptical. It was much easier on my knee to use the pool while I healed. If you are having trouble going in the morning, would it be possible to go after work or later at night?

I think it's awesome that you are looking to change your lifestyle! my favorite is roasted asparagus... cut the bottoms off, drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and then roast at 400 for 25 minutes. It makes it crunchy and awesome!
