Oh WOW!!! That is a huge transformation!! You should be so proud of all the hard work you've put in, because it has REALLY paid off! Congrats girl, you're an inspiration.

Okay I adjusted my calories but...isn't it roughly the same as eating back your exercise calories, though? You either eat higher and don't eat back exercise cals, or eat lower and eat back exercise cals. I'm probably missing something though, trying to grasp the concept/secret.

Totally agree with this. Do what you can for now. With time, you'll start getting more creative and exploring more. Incorporating lots of veggies and fruit simply makes this whole process easier, and as someone said, you get to eat more!

Lots of good ideas up there! Also, I recently discovered brown rice cups. Just pop them in the microwave and they're ready in 60 seconds. Amazing for the lazy/inept like me :)

I want in, please! :)

Good luck! Your goals are very attainable :)

Hmmmm.... nude beach :)

You don't have to sacrifice. Just make your meals less calorie-dense. I totally understand the cooking/eating together bonding thing. Check out skinnytaste.com This website rocks. It takes ALL your favorite foods/comfort foods and gives you ways to cut down on calories and make them healthier. Delicious food, while still…

Picking one that's already made is usually a shot in the dark. I generally log everything separately.

yeah....you're so not a fatty at all. what an *kitten*. i would suggest you don't give him the time of day again!

Jamaica was my absolute favorite vacation. If you're looking for cheaper and super fun - Las Vegas

LOOOOOOL!!!! that was hilarious. thank you for making my day. i'm childless so...how about I just have a drink for ya? haha

i'm in!

I can't eat salad without dressing (EW) I can't eat cottage cheese without pepper I can't eat a burger without cheese (what's the point??) ..and I guess i COULD eat fries without ranch but, i just don't want to!

bumping so i remember to post in the morning!

90. largest modifiable risk factor: alcohol. no surprise there...hahaha

thank you so much for that...

i LOVE it! it's what i work out on 90% of the time. easy on the body, and i can burn 600 calories/hour on it.

This! For me, it's that we wanted to go out, have fun, go to dinners, drink, etc. Not that we didn't care about looking good, just that we are so happy and having fun! Which unfortunately food and alcohol play a big part in that. But he's also the reason why I got into losing weight, because I wanted to look good!

oh my god, both of these are sooo me. i will literally leave and find different bathrooms until i can get some peace. i WILL NOT hold it in though, and have my stomach hurt for the rest of the day. that sucks.

700 calories for an hour actually doesn't seem that far-fetched considering your weight and how high your heart rate goes during the class.

when i get sick, i just take it as a loss and eat what i want/drink juice/whatever it takes to make me feel better.

Mila Kunis!!!

1. i'm staying within my calorie limit after months of struggling 2. i realized i highly enjoy myself and my sense of humor :) 3. my boyfriend came to visit me, even if just for a day

this looks amazing...

Well mine certainly wouldn't be as good as yours! haha 7am: bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch 3 egg whites 10am: string cheese almonds 12pm: ham sandwich with sprouts fiber one bar 3pm: grapes raw vegetables w/yogurt dip 7pm: chicken breast broccoli rice

yes it is. i'm going to ice it for the rest of today and re-assess in the morning. you all are so helpful!

ebahde and lozze, thank you. looks like i'm calling the doc.

i'm sorry, but this made me laugh. i'm just visualizing it, and it totally reminds me of me today. every time i have to use it or try to reach for something, i look completely handicapped. thanks everyone for your advice! i appreciate it.
