I did not see this until just now! As most of you who know me know, I have a love/hate relationship with sodium - meaning I LOVE it and it HATES me… I was over by about 200mg, which compared to some of my other days (almost 5000mg the other day -yikes) isn't terrible, but is still OVER. Taking it with a grain of salt (ha…

I'd definitely suggest making your own creamer - that way you can control the ingredients and have it taste exactly how you want! I haven't done it yet personally, but I want to. There are a ton of 'recipes' on the web (Pinterest especially), and a few have already been posted! Either way, good luck!

Something I've noticed is that when something is labeled 'light' or 'fat free', it tends to be higher in sodium. I checked out the nutritional info for Arby's and noticed that the 'light' Italian dressing was by far the highest in sodium - others were about 400mg less. By cutting calories and making the product 'light'…

I made it close on protein but only got about half my fiber. Fiber is something I am usually pretty low in, I never noticed until I just checked my reports- I've only been at/over 6 days out of the past 90. My protein track record isn't much better. I need to step it up!

When my boyfriend and I first started dating and his mom saw pictures of us together, she called him to find out who I was, etc. He told her that we were seeing one another and her first response was, "You sure do like 'em big, huh son?" It wasn't meant to be hurtful and I took it in stride when he told me, but still.…

Welcome and good luck! It sounds like you've got a good idea of what you want and how to go about accomplishing it, which is fantastic. If you are in need of a friend for support, feel free to add me. I will warn you that my eating habits are far from perfect, but I try to track as honestly as possible and I try to be…

I will certainly try!!

It's not Sunday, I know. I like to live on the edge, what can I say? Just checking in to say I hope everyone is doing well so far! I hope Monday wasn't too rough on anyone. Good luck this week.! Onward and downward :-)

Having no clue what Walden Farms is, I opened a new tab and went to their website… The first thing that caught my eye was a big bottle of chocolate syrup in the middle of my screen, followed by the words "No Calories, Fat, Carbs, Gluten or Sugars of any kind!" in the upper-left corner. My immediate reaction: What kind of…

For those who celebrate, I hope your Christmases were filled with joy and warmth!

Excellent job so far, everyone!! Looks like many of you are blowing December out of the water at this point. SW: 301.8 CW 295.8 (11/30/13) Week 1: 12/08/13 = 295.8 Week 2: 12/15/13 = Week 3: 12/22/13 = Week 4: 12/29/13 = No change, but I'm not surprised.

P1xy - Not all the classes I've had to take have been so intensive, just the past couple! I do get a small break after this class, from the 22nd until the 6th. Sound's like you've been busy yourself!! I'm glad you got to sleep in yesterday. Relaxing days are definitely nice :-) Paula - It sounds like you had a great day…

Thought I'd slip in and say hey. I hope everyone is doing well this weekend! It's supposed to get down to -4 degrees here tonight, but man, Holly! I don't know how you handle weather as cold as you're getting! I'm working on getting the house cleaned from top to bottom, and getting everything organized and straightened up.…

Great job so far everyone!! Keep up the excellent work.

Hey everyone! I've decided not to make a goal for December, at this point my plan is to be as sensible as possible and to log as diligently as I can. Anything under my start weight for the month will make me happy! My stats: SW: 301.8 CW 295.8 Week 1: 12/08/13 = Week 2: 12/15/13 = Week 3: 12/22/13 = Week 4: 12/29/13 = I'm…

I love this!! I have lost… A Malayan flying fox, a pineapple and a shoe!

Holly this is a great idea! I'm so glad your husband is home, my uncle used to be a long-distance trucker so I know how hard it can be on a family. I hope that something happens with your husband's job, maybe something that will allow him to be home more often. Keep your head up, you have such a great attitude! Carysta Oh…

I hope that I can keep control through the end of the month. I…

Thanks for looking! I'll keep an eye out for it :-)

I will definitely try this!! I love garlic and lemon so I hope this means good things! Thanks, Mark :-)

Not sure why I'm up so high. Had more sodium than I intended yesterday and the chocolate in my…

The BF and I went trick-or-treating with my sister in law's family, it was a lot of fun! I love having nieces and nephews that I can 'borrow' for things like that. We did a long trek that was all uphill, and the kids wore out before the adults! The downside is I tripped over a rock and hurt my ankle, but it was healed…

I'm in for real this time. October was a bit of a joke and I'm looking forward to blowing November out of the water! My stats..

That sounds like so much fun! And you look great :-)

I'm in! I want to work on increasing the amount of time I can spend at a higher intensity on the bike. Exercise - Stationary bike Starting: 2 minutes at level 15 For the first 2 weeks I want to work on increasing the time by 30 seconds every 2 workouts. We'll see after that!

I had salad for breakfast yesterday… Well, salad and coffee. Today was raisin bran and a banana.
