Heahter-Kudos to you for being able to do things like that for you bf. I don't now if I could. Maybe in another 20 pounds! Gotta find a bf first...hmm...it's on the to do list. LOL 8.11. Calories: Somewhere around 1500 Water: 120oz Exercise: 30 minutes on elliptical and 10 minute jog Proud: I didn't go out and get a taco…

Julie-That story is freaking hilarious! I LOVE IT!! Men, I swear!:laugh: Did you hold out your finger and just nod? Cris-yay for gaining your confidence back and seeing 192! At this point in time I'd be excited for .2 as well! When you don't see the scale move down for so long you will take just about anything! 33% fat…

Julie-I hear ya on the Autum weather! However, I have to pray for beautiful weather for my sisters wedding in October. It's always hit or miss with Texas. It's either going to be freezing butt cold or beautiful. And it is an outdoor wedding and I'm in a strpless dress. AHHHH! LilDeb-Dang girl look at you go!!! You amaze…

POS Me-I love that you sit and watch the food channel. Your in the home stretch! Just a few more hours. Heather-I know your going to punish yourself for eating all those calories. Don't be too hard on yourself. Make good choices for dinner and the rest of the week. Oh this week feels like it has gone on for what feels like…

I was born in Wisconsin Rapids. I still have family in Rapids, Rudolph, and Stevens Point. I'm usually up there to visit every summer and love it! It's always so beautiful when were up there!

Julie-That recipe sounds soooo incredibly yummy! I'm going to have to pass this on to Mom so she can get the goods from the store! I love having my Mom to run to the store for me! :tongue: Blue-I hope your back gets to feeling better. And you will most definitely find your groove back when things get all calmed down. Just…

I'd have to agree that they are okay within reason. That's what I used when I first started this journey. Then I learned how to cook my own meals. I still bring them from time to time when I don't have time to prepare something and don't want to go grab McDonalds. I would go for the Healthy Choice meals over the Michelinas…

Couldn't agree with this statement more!

That's a LOT of calories for 1 drink. I would go with something lower calorie if you have that option. With the energy booster and all the liquor in it, it will more then likely make you bloat more. Drink lots of water today and get in some exercise before you go if you can. Have fun!

I know I'm not part of the thread but I'm originally from Wisconsin. Wanted to say hello to fellow people in Wisconsin! :drinker:

I'm with Cris! Wow Laila, kudos to you! I'd sleep all day and eat all night. :happy: can you do that!?

Took me awhile too. But you will get there.

I had a really hard time with this concept too. Go read the success stories and the proof is there. Eat more and you will see those pounds come off.

How far under your calories are you? Maybe you aren't eating enough possibly?

I'm not sure if the scale not moving for 2 workouts is a plateau. I had a 4 or 5 good workouts last week and didn't see the scale move till today. Hang in there. Have you had any off days or high sodium days? Are you stressed out? Any of these factors could be the reason for the scale not moving. Keep doing what you are…

Okay, I know I'm not in your age range but I just wanted to comment. I don't know if it's going to pay off in the long run or not but I started using some skin firming lotion. It's worth a shot if you ask me, it's not gonna hurt ya thats for sure. You are doing great by the way. Keep up all your hard work!

I have the F6 or F7...can't remember and I LOVE it! The only thing about Polar is when the battery goes out I have haerd you have to mail it in and will be without for some time. Haven't had that happen yet and have had mine since Feb. or March. Best investment I ever made for my weight loss. Welcome to MFP, it's a great…

POS Me-Are you allowed to have protein shakes or just water? Or milk? Blue-I forgot to put my comments to you! Sorry! I agree with Heather, please don't leave us. I don't know who said it before but when someone was talking about leaving for awhile they suggested maybe just linger and check in but not necessairly comment…

You can order your food how you want it. Remember when you go out the portions are usually out of control. You don't have to eat it all. Cut it in half at least and save it for another meal. You can usually find items that are resonable in calories but the sodium is always tricky. Applebees has a menu of food that is…

I also go out dancing with my friends or play wii. None of are high calorie burning but they are fun to do and it's better then sitting on your butt.

When I was doing cardio along with strength training I was seeing results on a regular basis. I have kind of slacked off and doing some cardio here and there and my weight loss has come to a hault for some time. Last week I started doing cardio along with weights at the gym and have started seeing the scale move down…

I don't know if you have any kids around to play with. It's not a really really intense workout but playing with my niece outside is usually quite a workout. Were always playing tag, or softball, soccer or just chasing the dogs around the backyard. It's fun to do with her and she has a good time doing it and your spending…

Thanks Laila! My Mom actually had lost 20 or 30 pounds last year just by changing her eating habits. Unfortunately she is starting to fall back into the bad ways of eating again. So she was excited for me to move in and change the way they eat. Once I get everything unpacked and finished with this whole move were gonna…

Momma and Nancy-If either one of you want to type up a message for Jesyka I would be more then happy to pass the message to her on facebook from y'all. You can mail it to me here and I will just copy and paste it into a message on facebook. Just let me know. Welcome Jules! You will love it here! We are a pretty motivated…

Okay first of all....WOW!! Julie and Lauren you both look AMAZING!! You both inspire me so much to keep going! :flowerforyou: I got home tonight and weighed myself...somehow down a POUND from this morning...and I had plans to go to dinner with my neighbor. I planned ahead..only had 6 wings and 1 drink..I don't have the…

Cris-You make me laugh! I'll send you my phone number on fb. I love drunk texts. Always make me laugh!! :laugh:

Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine what she is going through...thank you for sharing this with us Deb. Breaks my heart

Cris-Do you need one of our numbers to text us and talk you out of eating something greasy when you are feeling this way!? I'm okay with that. Youre so close to 190's don't you do it! You wanna see 170 don't ya? No downward spiral. Deb-You will be back on track. You just have so much going on. Maybe use your frustrationg…

I don't know much about it but I'm a strong believer of lifestyle change and exercise. No diet drug or fad diet you try is going to keep the weight off forever unless you learn how to eat properly and exercise. At least none that I know of. Everybody I know who has done the diets, pills etc have put the weight back on and…

Lauren-I can't see the pic but I'll be sure to look tonight! Heather-That sounds so tasty! Glad you still stayed within your calories though. Oh how I wish it was Friday! Friday after work I'm driving with my best friend to Tulsa to go visit my cousin. Always good times there. I told myself I had to reach my calorie burn…
