One day, I was having a craving for ice cream, so I went to Culvers and bought a small dish of their flavor of the day, which was some sort of mint flavor. Got home, and it was 700 calories! OUCH! It was good, but not what I really wanted, which was something chocolatey . . . Knowing this, I noticed that the June flavor of…

Awesome NSV. And I love that scripture -- one of my favorites!

I am 5'7, and I am 1/2 way to my goal weight of 150, which is still 10 pounds overweight. I started around 209, and am now around 180 (give or take). Once I get to my first goal, I will re-evaluate to see if I can get to healthy (around 140).

I agree -- I think your body is adjusting to the new weight a bit. I have found that my body plateaus every 9 pounds. I went through several steady weeks of 1 pound weight loss. At 9 pounds, my body went through a couple of weeks where I gained and lost the same 1-2 pounds for a couple of weeks before it went back to a…

Awesome NSV! Keep it up!

I usually gain between 2-4 pounds during TOM. I weigh in all of the time -- I find that I like to know what my body's doing, and I don't let it discourage me. As long as I see a long-term downward trend over several weeks, I'm OK. I have found good substitutes for what I am craving. I crave sweets and chocolate, so I like…

Absolutely! I use mine alot -- particularly for chicken, fish, and hamburgers. I will use mine about 4-5 times / week. I have an old, smaller version, but am thinking of upgrading to the one that has removable plates and possibly a temperature control. The older versions are pretty easy to clean, but there is no temp…

After 25 pounds gone, I finally hit the outlet mall and found a couple of suits -- dramatically on sale. I actually asked the sales clerk if the price was right -- they were 50% off of the marked tag price, which i had originally thought was a deal! It took me 25 pounds to change 1 size, so I figure I will be here a while.…

I'm an addict, too. I think we need a support group!

ONE! Singular Sensation, every single step she takes! Congrats! And yes, too, am old enough to remember the reference!

You can do this! And that bikini is totally adorable!

This is a great idea !

Living vicariously through you! Did it taste as good as it looks?

Totally agree! It may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes extra calories do allow you to break a plateau. It has happened to me a couple of times already.
-
I agree with you -- cooked vegetables don't taste very good leftover, so I typically will eat the whole bag of vegetables at dinner. I figure I will probably have a tablespoon of butter regardless of whether I eat a cup of vege's or 4 cups of veges. And 3 cups of veges won't add that many more calories. Also, have you…

I second this! I tried it a few years ago, when my friend was doing it. I lost some weight on it, but couldn't sustain. Some of the food items were really good -- some I couldn't stand. I also got very bored with the routine. And I agree that the portions were small. Many times I was very hungry in the afternoons after…

Interesting experiment. I was following a low carb plan a few years ago, and although I ate very few carbs, I could NEVER get those sticks to turn! So I decided to go off that particular plan. I am following a lower carb plan now, but not so restrictive. I eat whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and it seems to be working…

If you could limit yourself to one serving -- 320 calories is not a horrible splurge. Trust me, I've done worse! Most days, I could probably walk away from this. But today it looks SO good! I know that I have retrained my pallet to appreciate healthy foods and reject the junk, but there are some days when you just gotta…

I have Wii Zumba and love it!

I have wondered this, too. They only way I could burn 1000+ calories was to mow my lawn, which takes about 2 1/2 hours. Initially, I was recording this through MFP which gave me just over 1000 calories. Then I bought the Body Bugg, and it cut my calorie burn WAY down. (The Bugg might be underestimating calories based on…

I'm still within the first 6 months, which is included with the Bugg Purchase. Not sure if I will renew after -- depends on whether I will make goal by then or not. What really bothers me is that I am having issues with the iPhone connection, and their support is only Monday - Friday 8-5.

I love the Wii -- especially Wii Fit / Fit Plus and Zumba. I have EA Sports, and Just Dance, but don't like those as much, as I can't seem to get the system to respond to my movements (frustrating). The Wii Fit was a great way for me to start back into the exercise routine, as I was a total couch potato and hated to…

Sometimes you just have to have the real thing! Great attitude about enjoying the cookies, not having a guilt trip, and getting back on track tomorrow!

Awesome job!
