So what happened when she reached her weight loss goal. Did she eventually go down to 1200 and does she remain there?

I really like spagetti squash and I've also used eggplant sliced thin in place of lasagna noodles.

Great job.. and keep up the good work. and just so you know, I did my first half marathon last weekend and i was passed up by a few men and women that were well into there golden years. there was one lady she must have been pushing 80 trotted right by me. lol I was so proud of her and I'm proud of you.

I understand where you are coming from here, since mine is similar. Have you tried talking to him and explaining that he needs to back off a bit so you can breath and live. I've had that talk with my boyfriend and it has helped some. Honesty and communication is very important for a relationship to work.

Congrats. haha not evil at all. It's what us big sisters need to do to little brothers every now and again. lol

Yes, I do. I have both ends of the scale, My daughter who is 12 is a few inches taller then me and almost my weight. Now she has recently started "developing" more and losing some of the little kid chunky look. My son is 4 and he looks more like a stick figure and is in the 5th precential for weight for his age. For him…

Toast whole wheat sandwhich rounds with suger free jelly Special K protein bar grits with low fat milk special K ceral with low fat milk I know you said you were tired of eggs but.. I do egg white sandwhiches with salsa or a slice of cheese. Good luck!!

Wow!!

Amazing.. you look like a different person.

WTG on your loss so far. Keep up the great work.

I'm finding a few things. Cabbage, and cauliflower are the two that keep coming up. I guess i'll give each a try and see what happens.

undies and the tank top I slept in, sometimes nothing. The less the better lol

congratulations!! you are doing great. keep up the good work. =)

I normally leave a hot mess but I think that it will reallly depend on what you are doing. I do mostly cardio, jogging or walking at a high incline. If you are just doing weights I don't think you'd get all that sweaty, at least I don't.

I completely agree, the red drives me nuts and i'm also at 1200. Today I went over a few and I find it very depressing but i'm not going to stress about a little red.

Damn that looked painful.

Ok, don't swing!! Instead of veggie snacks try fruit since they have sugar, munch on grapes or strawberries. If you just need to have something to chew on try cherrios or 100 calorie popcorn, something you can just slowly eat that isn't high calorie. I don't like diet sodas but i love the zero calorie waters or the mio…

When I see my number getting up there. It kind of freaks me out and makes me want to not eat. But i'm a bit crazy. lol

I asked the same thing when I joined and saw that all over. It's good to just ask =)

This might sounds mean but look in the mirror. That's what I do. I take a good hard look at myself; rember what I was, see where I am and picture where I want to be. That is what helps keep me going. Also you can set a goal for yourself. I had done that too. something like I have to walk x amount of minutes a week or…

Welcome to MFP =)

I had a Polar FT7. It worked great for running and cycling, actually all my workouts but when I brought it swimming it died =( I haven't gotten a new one yet. but I would recommend the polar.

I used a glider for a long time when I started exercising because I have bad knees. It lets you keep your legs straight but you swing your legs so I'm not sure how that will work since you said it hurts at the hip. I'd try looking up knee therapy excercises, maybe there are some that will help stregthen it. Or check with…

I've just started swimming laps as part of my training for a tri. And I can sure feel it. I don't know how my heart rate was cause my polar died in the water =( but know it can be a really good workout.

i've never heard that but that is a horrible thing for broccoli to do to us. Pretending to be good and healthy and bam big puffy belly. Where did you read that?

Hehe, i was wondering about desktop shorts. lol Thanks =)

bump

Very nice as always =)

you look great. I hated the sun before too but now that I can wear tank tops. I've got me a tan going. lol

I think it's important to find healthy alternatives to the foods you love. To me it's about a new healthy lifestyle not just a temp diet so i don't like to deprive myself of foods I love to eat. I do veggie stir fri and only add a little sauce for flavor.
