awesome!

I have not given up my red wine... but I have cut way back this week.... .

I would like to make a few points regarding this thread. I think this is a fun spirited thread that all of us can relate to. I think there is nothing harmful and characterizing people, we all do it to some extent in every venue in our lives. Now to make direct comments to someones face in the gym might be cruel, but to…

just coffee!

Awesome everyone!!! Keep up the good work.... for those that say they havent lost anything this week.... keep positive.... my plateau is starting to move again, but it took close to 2 weeks!

Exactly,in most cases your body will figure it out!

oh cool, just checked out hungry-girl.com what a great site for recipe ideas!

exercise calendar is a good idea... kind of the same idea as planning out my meals... I am not much of a snacker... but that is a good idea too.

mickle, I am sure we all have nicknames that other people call us. I remembered one gym I belonged to that some other people from work went to... we had nicknames for everyone, and we didnt have to ask who we were talking about.

cabbage soup

I think we all have one of these at our gym!! too funny.

Ok, I really paid attention today. We have 2 bionic women that I have noticed. I love the I Want to Look Like I Know What I am Doing Newbie - this is the one that gets on a machine and sits for 5 minutes trying not to look like she is reading the directions. Then when she finally starts the exercise She is having to…

whole wheat tortilla with baked chicken breast, avocado slices skim, skim swiss and salsa. and the apple and brown sugar and cinamon recipe someone posted earlier... it was the best!

Inches often come off before pounds... Dont look at weight as your victory, look at how you feel. I often get caught up in the weight thing. Then I think twice when I put that pair of pants on that was a struggle just a few weeks before. I bask in the victory of being able to play with my son on the basketball court or…

You should be proud!

174.2!!! Down 1.6 from my weekend! yay!

I did well.... Plenty of exercise... Power walk with my dog in the am... Vigorous cleaning after that and tennis with my family later. Stuck within my caloric goals and my downfall was water... didnt have enough, but I was close.

Stayed with in my calories and exceeded my caloric output! Water not quick enough I don't think.

Wine is my weakness... just incorporate it into my calories.. try to be cognizant of how much so I dont lose out on the healthy calories.

I made thin cut boneless porkchops marinated in orange juice and a little low sodium teriyaki and crushed garlic and topped it in the container with mango. When I was ready to grill it, I cook the mango too and eat it together. It is a entree and only has about 175 calories.

I am with you on that lunglady!

great job!

now, this is me as her daughter.... and I hope I can offer my kids, grandkids what she has given me. (although I hope to wait a few more years for grandkids.)

I think you are talking about my husband here! Good: Totally supportive of my weight loss even if he thinks I am obsessive (he is used to it I am OC anyway) He is thoughtful of what I will and wont eat, Thankfully he doesnt care much for fried foods.... he makes a killer bean soup... I just have to train him not to put ham…

The exercise & caloric intake is paying off... 2 pounds down 4 inches off!

ok pot stirrer.... In my case, that is what I mean by toning.... To get the shape back that genetics have mapped for me. BUT some people without doing strengthening and toning exercises will not see the potential if they didnt do them. You add muscle by doing strengthening exercises... and toning does it in a way that you…

great job!!!

fantastic!

I love to people watch.... We have some interesting array of folks at our gym... We have the I am staying fit at 70 guy who hits every piece of equipment at 5am after walking around the gym for an hour. He puts little effort in his exercises. But I have to admire him. (I think he works the overnite shift there we have a 24…

I am in... I usually do pretty well on Saturdays, but Friday nites kills me... I get alot of exercise in on the weekends because my 9yo is helping me with a weekend adventure... his goal is for mom to lose weight so she will quit smoking... my goal to get healthy! I am in.... it will help me to think twice for sure... just…
