I haven't given up one single thing. I just try to limit myself. I make sure I don't go over on my calories, but I still have whatever I want. Just maybe a smaller portion or I workout harder to burn it off. I know that if I forbid myself from anything then I would only want it that much more. I do wish I was stronger and…

When my daughter turned 1 and I couldn't blame the fat on just having a baby anymore. Congrats on your 32 lbs! That is great!

I started at 165, after having 2 babies. I am currently 148 and my goal is 140, but if I can get there I would really like to strive for 135. I can't go any lower than that without looking really sickly thin. So somewhere between 135 and 140 would make me happy.

Oh I also really love a fried egg with cheese on one of those sandwich thins. So yummy and low cal. Especially if you only use the whites.

Your topic made me want to answer something Dr. Suess style, like I eat them in a pan, and from a can. I eat them with my hand and next to the spam. I eat them hot, I eat them cold, but never do I eat them with the mold. Etc. Sorry, I don't know why I felt the need to share my silly thoughts. Anyway, I like to make…

This! Except I am only 27!

When you search for it in the database and it doesn't come up, then at the bottom you can choose to add it, then you can call it whatever you want. :)

Me too. Dang! I wanted to see too!

I agree with this. I don't think you need to or should hold onto the anger or hurt. But I do feel there is a point where you have to recognize that someone is not good for you and let them go. I personally do not have a relationship with my mother. I tried many times over the years to cut her out and have finally been…

Holw crap, that's awesome! Like a whole different person. Or should I say half a person!

That's an awesome idea! That is some funny stuff right there!

Spinach salad: baby spinach, craisins, walnuts, feta cheese, topped with poppyseed dressing

I am 5'6" and in my "before" photos I am 165. In the most recent ones I am 153. My goal is 140. You can see them on my profile.

The second one looks beautiful on you!!!!

Haha! My daughter only weighs 23 lbs and I want to lose 25! By the time I do I bet she will weigh that much too. I never thought of it that way.

Oatmeal will help your supply a lot, you should try and have some everyday. So will the herb fenugreek.

That's fantastic! You look great! Keep up the good work! Very inspirational!

I don't know how to stop the cravings or even fight them. So I try and replace them. Skinny Cow icecream bars instead of a giant bowl of ice cream, 2 mini PB cups instead of 2 regular ones, 30 jelly bellys for only 125 calories, 100 calorie snack packs, etc. I know that if I completely cut off sugar I won't be able to live…

What I would do in that situation is let yesterday be my rest day. And I would just adjust my workouts to make sure I still did 3 of each during this week.

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work!!!!

I have a mini PB cup to treat myself (only 44 cals). I also really like the Peanut Butter Co's Chocolate Dream PB. It's good with a banana or nilla wafers. I really LOVE dark chocolate, so if I am tempted by something, I will just have a small amount and adjust the rest of my calories for the day accordingly. I don't ever…

Tanning and moisturizer helped to fade mine. But they will never be gone without surgery. Looks like I have zebra striped shorts on! LOL!

I can't run or do anything with much impact due to previous injuries. I will have to hit the eliptical up more (hard to find time with 2 little kids). I think I will start doing more squats and lunges too. I have lots of muscle on my thighs too, so I don't want to build too much there. I just want to get rid of the fat on…

That sounds just like me!!!!! I have no advice, just wanted to commiserate. :grumble:

Wow! You look so much younger too! Keep up the good work!

Hi there! I am from the South End. Just joined MFP in February. It's been great. Would love to walk in the evenings, but this weather is not having it. I heard we were going to have some sun by tomorrow, but I just won't believe it until I see it. My MIL and I have always wanted to do the 3-Day, but we just don't think we…

:flowerforyou: Done!

Dude! You did awesome! Thanks for sharing and congratulations! :happy: I LOLed at the body hair comment, I thought something looked off in the second pic. I like the facial hair in your before pic better. But you still look great! Just don't fall back into your old ways now! PS I might have to make the drive down that…

I have used spinach in my smoothies a few times. I blend it up with a little of whatever liquid I am using so it get's it real fine and then I add the frozen fruits or whatever else I am using and mix it. I usually have bananas and berries with it, so it's not noticeable in taste or color in that smoothie. My kids don't…

For my before and after pics absolutely not. But for candid pics or portraits I totally do. But I also pretty much hold my gut in all the time. I would never just stand around let it all hang out when I can stand up straight and keep things looking better.
