  • sparkrecipes.com has a lot of good recipes with nutritional info They have a recipe calculator also.
  • I've been thinking about joining a challenge, and this sounds good to me =) My only thing is that I won't be able to weigh in until Monday morning.... I've been using the scale at work and my scale at home is whacko. :tongue: Starting weight: 285 Current weight: 278 November 1 goal: 273
  • I usually say couch, but I've been known to say either.
  • My opinion, and it doesn't really count for much :laugh: , is to do what you can do to get as close as you can... maybe add protein shakes here and there or something to that effect, but if you are consistently losing weight - don't stress over your calories. Stressing over it isn't going to help in losing weight. If you…
  • Considering it's Monday and my children are bound to be cranky, we're fridge-diving for dinner. I'll most likely be having leftover Green Bean Stew and brown rice.
  • I was really bad about completely slacking off on the weekends too. I was working out for MONTHS without my weight changing for the better because my weekends were so bad. What helps me is to plan ahead. I try to keep my eating the same as the rest of the week, but if I know something is coming up (like my daughter's…
  • I am definitely an emotional eater. I gained more weight AFTER having my babies than I did while I was pregnant because it was such a stressful change in my life that I would literally eat until I wanted to throw up, and as soon as I didn't feel like I'd explode, I was shoving more food in my face. :embarassed: When I get…
  • I really like kickboxing. It seems like my favorite workout videos always have kickboxing elements.
  • I had a craving for Captain D's earlier, so I looked it up to see what the damage would be. I lost my appetite for fried fish REALLY quickly.
  • :noway: Not buying canned tomatoes is the toughest for me. Popcorn is the toughest for my kids...
  • Thanks everyone... I had never even thought about hard boiled eggs. Of course now I have a vision of me cracking one open on my forehead and it not being cooked (I just finished reading a Ramona Quimby book to my girls).
  • I have the same concern - I want to lose 135 lbs. I have a friend that has lost over 100 lbs and she said that she does have some excess skin especially in her abdomen and her doctor told her to give it some time to see if it shrinks any but she may have to have a tummy tuck. I think it just depends on your body and your…
  • I'm on day 17 of Power 90. I've lost 6 lbs so far and can already see improvement in how much I can do during the workouts.
  • I find that it actually helps me to wake up. I get up at 4am (no joke) and go to the gym. I'm much more energetic on days I go versus days I don't go. I thought I never could do it, but once I got into it, it's not bad at all.
