you can absolutely have your weigh in on wednesdays(:

sounds great! hope you lose the 5 lbs by easter!

monday the 28th is the first weigh in

Yay! We can do it(:

Start out walking and then to running in place. I actually started running in place, and that helped. Then once you can do that, try real running.

crazy how much eight more pounds can take away! you look AMAZING!

Yeah that is kind of scary haha! I'm trying to stay the same, so I'll just try to make good choices. also... @mamawildbear: Yes, they are quite tasty. I should also try Benefiber too...

That's great to hear. Thank you!

I bite it, i write it(: all the way down to the gum.

I think that happens to a lot of people when they start dieting. I know i was like that for a while. Now, I don't really think about it too much, because I try to keep myself busy all day. If I've got the day off, I try to think of stuff to do and only eat when I'm hungry. I try to: - do laundry - clean - work out - stay…

1 for 4! Love my tv because of the cooking channel! Well i really like it while working out!

Yes! Mine are my legs... My waist looks really small compared to my legs haha

agreed

you are eating too little calories(: but i really like wheat thins. some people say that they're not the best, but i've had no problem with them. i had them for a snack at around 3pm and it lasted me till about 6 or 7pm

i dont know if you want more food, but honey bunches of oats raisin medley... that gets my system running! haha. but yeah i guess apple juice if you don't want food.

welcome(: calorie counting is great! make sure your net calories doesn't fall under 1000 and you will be terrific!

Yes! Good job! So many people think that you starve yourself to lose weight. That's such a big no no(: Your body needs the energy to function. Keep doing what you are doing, because you are focusing on long term and that is great. You have discovered the key to your weight loss girl! Haha sorry I'm excited about this,…

i took the time to plan out my food, so i wouldn't find temptations a lot. try to get big time binge food out of the house for good. i find not totally restricting my fav food but rather only having it once a week can help prevent it a lot. i also chew gum. hope this helps.

About same height and weight, you're fine. If you want it go for it. It's a pretty realistic goal(:

I am maintaining and was told not to go below like 1500 calories. The calculator thing says for me to have about 1750. As long as your eating healthy food, but not to much of it, you shouldn't lose or gain. Maybe if you exercise, you would also want to eat most of the calories back. 75% maybe?

Good old milk and water for me(:

Wow that crazy how much weight you lost! I'm really happy for you! You lost a little less than a WHOLE me! lol

I agree, it could be muscle. Muscle weighs more than mass(:

One of the best tricks I learned for sweets is dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is the real deal and is a lot healthier for you. It has antioxidants in it. Of course this doesn't mean stuff your face with them, but if you have a tremendous craving try getting a small piece of dark chocolate each day.

I am an athlete and i probably need more protein. I am first trying to grasp maintaining and maybe to gain a little. I really just want to get this to where i dont lose any more weight atm. I'm not sure what I'm gonna make for dinner though. Probably a chicken breast or something.

This is great advice. As a matter of fact, when I go to the store, I am going to make sure to get lots of fruits and veggies. I have been trying to remember to take vitamins and thanks for the info!

Not with money, we just wanted to really see if I could do it. If i win, i get to pick out something that she has to wear and vice versa. Not really a big prize, but i just want the satisfaction and prove her wrong. thanks!

Here are some tips to get a jump start. - Don't let the scale phase you, maybe even only weigh in once a week. (best in the morning before breakfast) - Say no to that cake every once in a while (don't deprive yourself, but moderation is a must) - You have to exercise (thats a given, but i know we all get lazy) - Learn…

That's a great suggestion, not a breakfast person, so may take it where i gotta go in the morning(: I am around 5'6-5'7 and am aware that i may be underweight. I am trying to gather healthy ways to boost my calories and then will slowly incline if i want/ need to gain weight. Will do on the bigger breakfasts! Today i had…

i really am liking the breakfast ideas(: yeah kinda figured i should start making my own sandwich, will try that next week. veggies, fruits, nuts got it
