My boyfriend was walking behind me as we were going up the stairs last night and he commented on how good my butt was looking! :#

One of my favorites is a salad of spring mix with grilled chicken, strawberries, blueberries, apples, blue cheese, toasted nuts and a zesty vinaigrette dressing. Chick-fil-a has one and that's where I first discovered this combination. I've made a copy cat one at home ever since!

A silly waste of money in my opinion. But most "weight loss plans" such as those are. The concept of weight loss isn't really that hard. Portion control, healthy eating and get your butt moving! Actually DOING that is the hard part! :smile: Why pay money for colored plastic containers when the Tupperware drawer is probably…

I just ate lunch of balsamic chicken and veggies and an orange. I had some green tea to drink with it.

I hit 10,000 steps on my rest day! I go to the gym Monday through Friday and exercise outside on Saturday (walk, hike, etc) so hitting at least 15,000 steps is easy on those days. However Sunday is usually my rest day and I usually get less than 7,000 steps. But yesterday I hit 10,000!

I registered for my first 5K yesterday! I'm doing it with a group of friends and the plan is to walk most of it but it's in June so I have enough time to work up to being comfortable with jogging some of it!

You look AWESOME! What an inspiration!

I usually do 25 minutes on the elliptical then 25 on the treadmill. I'm always starving after!

I distinctly remember one day last summer that I had on a certain pair of jeans that were so tight it was uncomfortable to sit down. I'm wearing them today and I definitely should have worn a belt! I can nearly fit my arm in the waist!

Over the weekend, I made freezer breakfast sandwiches of a whole wheat english muffin, one egg, one slice of cheese and 2 1/2 slices of Canadian bacon (I just divided up the entire package among the 6 sandwiches). Then I individually wrapped them and stuck them in the freezer. I had one for breakfast yesterday morning.…

Just ate lunch - single serve tub of pizza hummus, baby carrots, garlic & parmesan naan crisps, and a greek yogurt.

I had two last night that I was so excited about! I finally fit back into a pair of riding (horse riding) pants that were too tight to wear a few months ago. And then while I was riding, I was a lot less winded than I normally would be. An hour at the gym every morning is paying off!

Oh no. That's a tough one. Depends on my mood. But I'm going to go with Velveeta. Enchiladas or quesadillas?

I go to my local Planet Fitness. It would be awesome if it had a pool because I'd love to add swimming to my regular exercise, but overall I do love it!

I've been enjoying my gym workouts instead of just "getting through them". I even look forward to them!

Looks like my science teacher from high school!

Right now I have a packet of instant oatmeal, Fiber One strawberry streusel and Fiber One lemon bars, small squares of Ghiradelli peppermint bark with dark chocolate (for my afternoon sugar craving) and a bottle of honey for my green tea or to add to plain greek yogurt. I actually need to restock the drawer! I'll also have…

Taco salad!

Spout to my water bottle.

He wouldn't accept that I WAS always right!

Uhm. Where do I even start...? Brownies. Pizza (any kind. Especially buffalo chicken stuffed pizza). Pasta. Chocolate. Taco Bell. Fresh soft chewy bread with lots of butter. General Tso's chicken. French toast/pancakes/waffles with lots of butter and syrup. (Can you tell I like butter...?) Doritos. Chocolate chip cookie…

I have the same problem! I'm behind a desk for 45 hours a week - definitely doesn't help my weight problem! Every time I go use the bathroom (which is a lot because I drink tons of water!!) I do 10 squats or lunges. It's not a lot but it adds up to 50-60 a day. I also like to do calf raises when I can (like waiting for the…

For me, this was just FORCING myself to do it. I used to try to go to the gym after working for 9 hours, but I could rarely find the energy. I was just unmotivated the gym was crowded by that time of day. I tried going in the morning once (it helped to have a friend meeting me there, that way I couldn't just hit snooze)…

I have to eat before I workout otherwise I get really light headed and dizzy. I don't eat a lot, just enough to fuel me through the workout. I go to the gym early in the morning before work but I'll eat something before I leave the house. Usually an egg over whole grain toast, peanut butter on whole grain toast, greek…

Every night I do a plank before I go to bed. A month ago I started out at 30 seconds and that was a struggle. Last night I did 45 seconds! It's not a lot but any progress is good progress! (And for a scale victory... this morning I officially lost 10 pounds! *happy dance*)

Breakfast was an egg over a slice of 12 grain toast. Morning snack was a glazed maple pecan and sea salt KIND bar. Lunch was a pepperoni pizza Lean Pocket with a light string cheese and an apple. And lots of water!

This morning when my alarm went off at 5:45 to get to the gym before work, I seriously contemplated going back to sleep for another hour. But I reminded myself that another hour of sleep wasn't going to help me lose weight and I got my butt to the gym! And my jeans I have on today fit a lot looser than they use to!
