Don't be discouraged. Sometimes with people who have a lot to lose, it takes time to see a difference. I am 5'10 and started at 274. I am at 251 now (23 pounds) and I have just started to see a difference. However, I have gained and lost before, and I know it takes about 30-35 pounds lost for me to start REALLY seeing a…

Check out these podcasts in the iTunes store by DJ Steve Boyett....I think they would be right up your alley! No words, driving beats (Podrunner is actually measured at beats per minute) and each podcast is around an hour long. - Groovelectric - Podrunner Best of all, they are FREE (or were the last time I downloaded…

Don't be discouraged. Sometimes with people who have a lot to lose, it takes time to see a difference. I am 5'10 and started at 274. I am at 257 now (17 pounds) and I still cannot see a huge difference, nor have many people commented. However, I have gained and lost before, and I know it takes about 30-35 pounds lost for…

Everyone here pretty much has summed it up but I liked this one best. Weight loss/gain is simply calories in vs. calories out. If you get 1,400 calories a day and want to blow it on a Big Mac and super size fry, that's your choice, but is not the healthiest one. In the end, WW is just a more costly, more "mathy" way of…

I really *DO* love vanilla! And I love almond milk! Thanks!!

That's what I was afraid of finding....hence my request for quality suggestions! Thanks for your input and advice.....I will check into these options!

Thanks for the info....you are right....I need to try some different things. You are also right that the calories can add fast! :smile:

WOW! That IS inspiring! Thanks for sharing!!

Yes. And The River by Garth can make me sniffle too.

Hi Michael. Where do you buy that? And is there a support group? :smile:

WOW! Look at those GUNS! Pow, pow! lol You look awesome.....younger too! Great job! What an inspiration.

Icy cold gin and tonic with a generous squeeze of fresh lime.

^This! LOL I enjoy a cocktail at night while cooking dinner or sitting on the couch watching a movie; however, I have cut back quite a bit and have switched from wine and beer to mostly hard liquor with calorie free mixers. I usually only drink on the days I exercise, too. It is my incentive to exercise many days! LOL

Pretty freakin' funny!

Girl, you need to give them a little dose of their own medicine and make their lives Hell before you leave. A little passive aggressive nastiness would do them right. I can share some wonderful things to do to them if you so wish. I am Southern. We are masters at being passive aggressive. :tongue:

I have a small size pickup truck that can deliver a bumpy ride depending on terrain and, yes, it will record it as steps so I take off the fitbit when I am in the car and place it on my purse strap.

Nature Own 100% Whole Wheat is 50 calories a slice and has no HFC (and it's a "regular" slice of bread!) http://naturesownbread.com/products/VarietyBreads/WholeWheat/ If you don't want the calories of peanut butter, you can use PB2 (they also have a chocolate flavor!)...with PB2 and Nature's Own, you could make a peanut…

Since you have a fridge, the BabyBel mini cheese rounds or the Laughing Cow spreadable cheese wedges are low-cal.....can eat with veggies or low-cal cracker or spread on a whole wheat bagel thin. http://www.thelaughingcow.com/ I went to Costco last week and they had the huge packs of the single serving size of Sabra…

^This is exactly what I was going to say! Next time you see your friend's kid, try hoisting them in the air, and then you will really be impressed with yourself. :tongue: (not that you can hoist them, but that you used to be carrying that around!)

Go to the Cooking Light and Vegetarian Times websites....both have recipe indexes. I have pulled some great recipes from both. In fact, one of the "cover" stories for Cooking Light today is "Vegetarian Summer Recipes." http://www.cookinglight.com/ http://www.vegetariantimes.com/

Fridge or freezer, as posted here by several others. Works like a charm.

Really, is she skinny? Looks that way in her photo. Really, did I think she meant it as a joke? Yes. She just forgot her little smiley emoticon. Really, do I hope they did not lose their sense of humor? Absolutely. Not having a sense of humor would be so very sad. Very sad indeed. Really, it would.

I had this condition several years ago. I went to a dermatologist and he gave me a prescription for a cream to put on morning and night. It had to be specially mixed at a compound pharmacy. It helped but it still took a while to clear up, but doesn't seem like it was 12 weeks. I also remember that I had to shower with cool…

Serve it over lettuce and it would be like a taco salad.

There is a gauge involving your wrist measurement.....http://www.ehow.com/how_2346297_determine-body-frame-size.html

Wear bernudas! :tongue:

Or those people who say "Oh, I know....I eat salads all the time but I can't lost weight!" Maybe because your salad is swimming in creamy dressing, cheese and bacon!
