Such an acomplishment, you should be proud!

This is the "game" i use for workouts too!! I've slacked off the past..(wow 6 weeks!!) Seeing your results makes me want to re-commit. Thanks for the post.

Fiber One bars. 130 calories....Super filling and delish...

I love that :laugh: ! You must feel great after all that weight loss!!

Snacks: Low fat yogurt - stick them in the freezer and turn it into a frozen yogurt. They take a long time to eat and feel like a treat. Oranges, Slim fast chocolate shakes with bananna and ice in the blender (yum) Lunch: hard boiled eggs and salad, or tuna mixed with spicy brown mustard and special K crackers instead of…

mvm.com is not working! :sad: Does anybody know any other sites where you can make weight loss avatars?

I'm curious about this too! Does anybody find they are losing at the rate MFP says? How accurate is that "If everyday was like today"???

Dance Central is great and has a workout mode that counts calories- super fun. I also like the EA Sports workout game. They set you up with a 9 week personal trainer workout and it's a different workout everyday. It will really make you sweat! I also like the Your Shape game mostly the cardio boxing and the gym games.…

Thanks to everyone, i found this thread to be very helpful!! I've been a little over on my sodium and under on my fat, I'll be paying closer attention to that!

If I want to eat something and I'm short on calories left, i'll do a workout and burn what I want to eat. i found a brisk walk around my neighborhood takes just 20 minutes and burns almost 150 calories.

totally gonna try these, the kids will love them too!!

Don't do it! The ultimate revenge would be for you to reach your goal and look and feel awesome! Use the anger/hurt and make it work for you at the gym. You'll look so good when you're finished he'll be begging you to come back.

The Polar brand seems to be a favorite around here. How do you know it's accurate/how do you test it?

I just did a 30 minute walk around my neighborhood and my wrist HRM said 180 burned. The above website said 158 so i'm going with that. What kind of HRM do you have? It sounds pretty accurate.

I'm in.

OMG! wonderful. now I'm gonna worry about that! :noway:

Turkey burger no bun and homemade oven fries (cut up potato tossed in a little olive oil) plus salad

Yeah, i have it for the kinect. it's great. right now i'm doing the 9 week challenge, it's a really good workout. it comes with the resistance band and the heart rate monitor. i really like how it plans out different exercises for each day. you never know what you're gonna get. so yeah, i do that one 4 times a week and…

Don't worry mkcalvert, i'm sure he meant fish! LOL:laugh: Thanks for the good info, lot's of good choices in there

hangover for sure! can't undo sundamage. plus big hangover usually = fun night! would you rather be too hot or too cold?

Thank you SO much for mentioning the workout mode on Dance Central! I've been playing this game since december and never would have found stumbeling across this thread!! :happy:

I feel EXACTLY the same way! I'm determined to only weigh myself every 2 weeks. Hopefully after two weeks of doing my best, the scale will show a good amount of progress, which will give me motivation for the next two weeks. You can do it! My first two weeks will me up on monday and I can't wait! I'm trying to keep in mind…

You are an inspiration! Be proud!!

That sounds pretty good. I don't like most salad dressings, so I need more options! Thanks :glasses:

Sounds good to me :) thanks for the links.

Sounds like I need to add some strength training! So, how would I do that? I can't go to a gym right now, but I could get some weights and lift for a little bit before or after my daily cardio. Any suggestions on a good routine? Like you said I don't want to bulk up, so is it ok do do it every day? Every other day? You…

I like to buy the small containers of yogurt and stick them in the freezer. the next day you have a frozen yogurt. it's frozen so it takes a long time to eat and you can almost pretend you're eating some ice cream. i even like to get the fruit on the bottom, i don't mind eating the plain yogurt and the fruit on the bottom…

Hey, thought this deserved a *bump*. It's mosthly stuff we've heard before, but good advice and a great reminder.
