  • Greek yogurt!
  • I would stick to fresh fruits and veggies and NON-processed foods. They are better for you and you can eat much more. I like doing different things with boneless skinless chicken breasts, whole wheat pastas and rice. Watch out for sauces and dips too, they can add a lot of calories, but if you use just a little for taste,…
  • I agree with you @mjames13. I am used to FB and would love to get notified when someone responds to something I have written or posted. I would also love to be able to respond to someone in a long thread and they would know I responded to them or vise versa.
  • I understand your disappointment from missing the class. I get into habits or doing things and if I get off track, I get upset. I think its normal. But now let it go. You missed it and there is nothing you can do. I believe these things happen for a reason. Maybe your body needed the time or maybe you just avoided…
  • I struggled with Bulemia and Anorexia for years. It was the hardest addiction I ever had to get over, and I had several! It is literally a meal by meal recovery. I know how hard it is when you have food sitting in your stomach not to throw it up, go exercise or do whatever to get rid of it. I know how hard it is not to eat…
  • Would love to cheer you on!! Where in Oz do you live? I lived there for only 6 months, mainly I was staying on Bondi Beach in Sydney, but travelled up and down the east coast and loved every minute of it there! You Aussies are great!!!
  • That's so exciting and so inspiring!!! :smile:
  • That's so exciting and so inspiring!!! :smile:
  • Wow! You are doing awesome! You are beautiful!!!
  • Wow!!! So awesome!! You are such an inspiration!!
  • It is so tough yo-yo-ing with weight and then longing for a size we used to be. I am right with you!! I absolutely love this site and am now on it more than any other!! I just joined about a week ago, but feel very supported here!! Welcome!!!
  • If your in a class, ask the instructor. Maybe they can see if you are inadvertently doing something wrong, or moving wrong. A lot of times we can't tell, but others can.
  • Yoga is awesome! I have a video, never been to a class. Some of the positions you hold are tough and burn calories, but if you are looking for cardio, yoga is not the #1 thing to do. Yoga is so good for you, for your strength, breathing and overall health. I would definitely do it, but not as your full cardio workout!…
  • My best friend is getting married on May 21st!! How funny! It's the first of 2 weddings this year of my friends and I really want to lose weight for them. I have more to lose than you, but we have the same end goal. I am hoping to lose 20 lbs by May 21 and I just started last week! I would love to cheer you on!!!
  • @rlittle2 - I gained 3 lbs and then took it off, all in about a week. So I am back to my starting weight, but have only started on this site less than 2 weeks ago and am on day 7 of the shred. I feel better, I can already feel my clothes not so snug on me and I actually think I am already getting results. Would definitely…
  • Haha! Wow, now I want the Zumba for my Wii!!
  • Yum! Love sashimi! I'm glad I asked. I get stuck in my own little bubble and forget that there are so many good things out there that are healthy!!
  • Haha! I love pad thai! I lived in Thailand for 8 months and LOVE LOVE LOVE Thai food!!! I guess I never thought of pad thai as healthy, though.
  • Yum! how do you make homemade marinara?
  • Wow! That is so exciting! You look great!
  • Don't get discouraged and definitely don't quit!!! Your body reaches plateaus and will stop losing weight for a period of time. Just keep doing what your doing and whatever you do, don't give up. It's normal and happens to most, if not all people. You're doing great!!! Hang in there!
  • Where in NorCal are you from?
  • I just finished day 4. Would love to do it with you and anyone else!
  • Yes, allrecipes.com is a great site!! I love it and have found some things that are now my signature dishes. People think I am a great cook because of recipes I found on there! But I have also started to cook more healthy. I just get some veggies, put them on a pan with a little olive oil and garlic salt and bake or broil…
  • It is tough enough to lose weight without any other issues, so I can only imagine how tough it would be with your condition. Losing 5 lb. in the time you did is perfectly healthy. I know you want to lose it faster, but keeping a healthy weight loss progression is best. Even if you are a bit more than you want to weigh for…
  • I'm sorry to hear about your lack of support. I just joined this website a few days ago and feel that just keeping track of everything is a HUGE help. I have 2 friends on here and would love to have you as a friend as well. I love to read other people's progress. I am 5' 4" and although I was never in the military, I have…
