I pack my lunch every day for work. Take a look at my diary. :) There are at least 3 days per week where I have leftovers because I make a double serving every night. But I love taking sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, green peppers, all different types of fruits.

I enjoy peanut butter every night in a personal mug cake. Yumm. Only 265 calories. I make sure I burn enough during the day to have this tasty treat.

I'm addicted to Chocolate Mug Cakes (92 calories) and Peanut Butter Mug Cakes (225 calories).

How incredibly AWESOME!!! What a great job you did. And you are such wonderful motivation!

I tell anyone and everyone who listens or cares. It helps keep me accountable. I don't go overboard with details, but let people know I'm eating a healthier diet and if they ask questions, I tell them about MFP. Some don't care, some offer support, others watch from a distance as if they're going to catch me failing. But…

You have definitely come to the right place for support, ideas, friends, etc. Welcome to the group!!

I've found that deep massage works wonders. It still hurts, but the pain is different, more dull, and does go away once I'm moving. I used the legs of my office chair and would put a LOT of pressure where it hurt, many times per day. It only took a week or so before I saw a drastic improvement.

You rock, girl! What an inspiration and motivation!!! Keep up the good work. :bigsmile:

I normally take my breakfast to work since I start at 7:00. I have 1/2 cup of Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla yogurt, a fruit (banana, peach, watermelon), and 2 prunes.

Bump....so I can write some of these down! :laugh:

** ME, TOO! **

Have you asked the opinion of more than one trainer? Seriously - there are a lot of people right here who ARE trainers, professionals, etc....and they are telling you something different.

Very well stated. I agree 100%. I think a lot of 'those' people who get so irritated and snarky are just out there trolling the boards, looking for some topic or some newbie to pick on. If you don't like the question or response to someone's post, hit the backspace and move on to another topic. No need to leave your…

#1 reason that motivated my fat *kitten* is when the doctor said to lose weight or lose your eyesight (intracranial hypertension). YIKES. Of course there are many other reasons, most to do with vanity, but I really just want to be healthy and feel well.

^^ This is true for me. I do a 15% incline on the treadmill and about 3.3 mph. The treadmill estimates my calories burned for 15 minutes at 225. I burn half of that if no incline.

^^=== THIS!

I'm super annoyed today because I've been at work for 4 1/2 hours with no work to do! The servers are down and everything we do is online. So here I sit. Yawning like crazy, wishing I had more green peppers to snack on because I've already eaten the ones from my lunch bag. Grrr!

Wonderful transformation! You look fabulous!

Pop (including diet) Pizza (it's been over 5 months) Fast food in general. Red meat (and I love a good steak).

There are MANY calculators online - why would I want to sit and do all that math? Here's a few examples: The first one is from Shapesense.com and it calculates using the V02max (known or unknown): http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx…

Looking good!! You did a great job and should be proud.

You are my new BFF!! lol

Applebee's has an awesome side of grilled shrimp. I sometimes or two and take them home. Yumm

I wouldn't do well with a narcissistic smoker who does drugs.

Those who are set on doing this do not need the kind of support I see most often, though. There are way too many 'good job', 'atta-girl', "way to go" compliments being given and that just fuels the fire to continue what they are doing. Support, yes. Advice, yes. Solid information, yes. Those are things they need. But let's…

Wisconsin here. But spent about 12-13 years in TN & GA.

Bigelow Vanilla Chai. Yumm!!! It's great both hot and cold.
