yay for the onederfuls! and yay for you! Congratulations on your hard work and determination. I can't wait to get there myself :)

your sarcasm was lost in my fit of jealousy. I want saboteurs for neighbors! I just bought a teeny tiny container of these yesterday and they were pricey as hell! Wanna trade houses until berry season is done? :laugh:

save to read through later. thanks!

This. All of this. :smile:

save for later. yummy!!

I just bought a digital food scale today. I expect I'll have quite a few of these moments over the next few days as I start weighing stuff instead of using measuring cups and "guesstimating". Maybe it's the nerd in me, but I'm really curious to see the cup vs gram comparisons. I'll just apologize now if you see a lot of it…

I broke my ankle badly several years ago and ended up with a bit of hardware in there and a slight limp. A couple of years ago, I broke the same ankle again. Rather than have surgery again, we decided on "conservative care" for the ankle....basically zero weight bearing and lots of monitoring. This left me in a wheelchair…

save for later

This is where I eventually hope to be. :)

I just committed to not weighing for the entire month of August. I usually weigh several times a day...it's pure crazy. :) I'm working the process, tracking food, exercising, and I took my measurements. Hopefully this will get me off the emotional roller coaster that the scale is for me. Not ready to get rid of the scale…

I'm from La Crosse. Always happy to have new friends so feel free to add me. Off topic: state loyalty demands I address the "go cowboys" thing, but I want to move to Texas in the not so distant future, so I'm conflicted. That's stressful...being conflicted. Which leads to belly fat. So, I call sabotage. tsk tsk, waffle.…

Wow! Amazing job...you look great. Well done so far and good luck with your new goal. :)

I saw that same post and thought the same as you. He was very clear about what he was doing and why and yet so many responses completely missed his point. I wonder if people just get as far as the 'low carb' or 'clean eating' or whatever-word-sets-them-off and miss everything else. I suppose it can be entertaining at times…

This!!!! Also, we totally need a Fantasy Island reboot. The guests should all be reality show 'stars'.....so bad it's good ftw!!!!!!

I have a Stamina Avari gx8 and I love it. Tons of programs, really smooth and quiet. I really like this machine. The cons: it's huge (just over 8 ft long), and it can be a bit tippy at faster speeds. I'm 5'4" 230 lbs and rarely get over 4 mph at my most intense (grrr, I'm a beast) so this hasn't been much of an issue for…

lol I don't actually know! I was hoping if I threw the idea out there someone more organized than I am would run with it:laugh: What about exercise goals like committing to x amount of minutes/miles/whatever floats your boat for a week? We need some take charge, organized individual to...well...take charge and be…

note to self sit down and do the math :)

What an amazing job! I can't wait to get there too. Congrats!!

Count me in!

This. :)

I have an avari GX8 elliptical. It's got more programs than I know how to work! lol I absolutely love it, but it's huge...just over 8 ft long. The cost is a bit prohibitive as well, much more than a gym membership would have cost me, but I'm just getting started and am too self conscious for public exercise yet. :laugh:…

You guys are a hoot! :laugh: I'll probably wait until I have an "after" as well.

I'm keeping my calories between 1200 and 1300 and I don't eat my exercise calories back. I work out for an hour twice a day, primarily on the elliptical because I broke my ankle twice and have a bit of hardware in there that limits my range of motion and makes most other cardio options difficult. Love my elliptical! :love:

Weighed today at 233.2 so that's going to be my start weight. 188 is my century mark so would love to be there by NYE, but won't complain if I manage 50 lbs lost instead of 45 :)

Hello! I'm 45 years old from Wi. I've lost a bit of weight, but have been gaining/losing the same 10 pounds for nearly a year now! Time to get serious again and I think this challenge is just the thing. I've got about 100 pounds to lose yet, but would love love love to hit my century mark by NYE. Feel free to add me! :)…
