NikonPal -- that is amazing!!

Hi! I could use some extra support, too! I am 5'8" and weight about 164 right now. I am down from my highest weight of 183 and am looking at a goal weight of around 158. May go a little lower but not much since I am big-boned, as they say. :) (This was around what I weighed in college/when I got married, and I looked thin…

Feb. 5 Yes, yes, and yes. Good job, EmmieBaby! You are going to have awesome results b/c you keep pushing through!

Feb. 4 No, No, Yes. I started the day out well, but then had lunch out with my husband. I made fairly healthy choices, but couldn't find any calorie lists/weights/anything to estimate my calorie count. Then gave up for the rest of the day. :( But, back on track today!! Good luck everyone!

Feb. 3 Yes, yes, and yes. Our houseguest brought home ice cream for all of us, and it would have been rude not to accept, so it's a good thing I had some exercise calories to give me a little cushion!! Good luck today, everyone! Keep at it!

Great job everyone!! EmmieBaby - that is crazy! Feb. 2 - Yes, yes, and yes. I weighed in this morning, and I am officially at the lowest weight that I have been at in at least 10 years ... and only 5-6 pounds away from my final goal weight. So exciting!! BUT, I need to keep working hard and not slack off if I want to get…

Yes, Yes, and No. But all in all, a pretty good day!

Amazing job everyone! Keep up the great work, and let's see some amazing results this week! :-)

Jan. 31 Yes, Yes, and Yes. Inching closer to the goal. :smile:

Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today? YES. Did you stay under your calorie limit? NO, just a little bit over, but not so much that I'm disappointed in myself. Were you active for at least 20 minutes? YES, walking. NikonPal - amazing self control! Cardbucfan - sounds like a great exercise day!! Good…

EmmieBaby, That is great! I think my DH could really use a helicopter alarm. Except that I would probably be the one who was bothered enough by it to go and get it. ;) Jan. 29 Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today? YES.

Jan. 25: Yes, Yes, No Jan. 26: Yes, Yes, Yes This is always my least favorite time of winter. Christmas and New Year's are over, but it is dark, cold, and slushy. I struggle with motivation to do much of anything during these weeks. :( But spring is coming! Let's hang in there!!

I started off keeping track of my calories but was feeling a little sick later in the day and decided to boost my calorie intake to see if that…

Balancedwalker - I went through a period where I made fruit-based green smoothies for lunch almost every day. Here was my usual "recipe" -- Throw a banana, any kind of greens (as much as you can handle), and a little water in the blender (not a lot, just whatever you need to get it mixing well). Then add 1/2 of a piece of…

January 15, 2015 Not a great day. I made it worse by "stress eating" and now have a stomach ache. :\ Ready to go to bed and start fresh tomorrow. Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today? NO. Did you stay under your calorie limit? NO. Were you active for at least 20 minutes? YES - 20 minutes on the…

Good job being honest, lalepepper! That's what we're going for in this thread. Being honest with where we are is the first step in motivating ourselves to make changes. :) I am proud of all of you!! You guys are doing amazing, and should be proud of yourselves for your hard work and your honesty. (*) (*) January 14, 2015…

They look amazing! Any recipes that don't involve special ingredient? (We live abroad and special ingredients can be hard to find...)

Fantastic job, everyone!! January 10, 2015 1. YES, I tracked everything. 2. YES, I was under my calorie goal, although I didn't make the healthiest food choices today... 3. YES, I cleaned house for 1:30-2 hours.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm sure I was at least moderately dehydrated. I never really drank anything between meals, and just a glass of water or milk per meal. My husband suggested that I try drinking more water because I frequently have migraine headaches. After more than a week of making a conscious effort to drink 5-6…

Any thoughts on how long it takes your body to adjust to drinking more water? I have never been big on fluids, which I know is so unhealthy. So this year I am making it a goal to up my water intake to at least 5 glasses a day. (May increase it more at a later point.) I know that people can gain water weight at first, but I…
