I love this soup recipe! Only 109 calories per cup and using soy chorizo makes it a lot healthier for protein. http://myfrugalforest.blogspot.com/2014/03/chorizo-sweet-potato-soup.html

HAHA! Nope :-) It has always seemed boring to me... maybe because I've never cooked with it!

Oh my! Now I'm hungry!! ROFL! Love the idea of the buffalo... I'm a huge buffalo wing fan! And putting it in alfredo sauce or pizza crust... BRILLIANT! :-D

Girl, we are literally in the same boat. Minus the kickboxing anyways... I am about 5'9" and 201 when I weighed in this morning. I have been kicking my butt at the gym 5-6 days a week (couple hours a day) burning anywhere from 600-1200 calories at the gym. I lost about 6 pounds in the first week then started gaining,…

Hey hey! I restarted my journey after losing lots and gaining 40 lbs back... BOO!! I need to get that 40 lbs back off of me STAT! Feel free to add me! I am on daily :-)

You look so freakin' good! Definitely see the progress one photo to another. Keep it up for sure! Remember that it isn't always about a number but how good you feel and fueling your body with smarter choice foods/beverages. I have to remind myself every day that my scale stands still.

Hi there! I grew up in Derby, KS and currently live near Ft. Riley. I'm new around here too. I need to find a support system as well! I lost 130 lbs about 3 years ago and I gained 40 lbs back... so now it's crunch time all over again! Feel free to send me a friend request and we can pat each other on the back ;-)

I started drinking at least a gallon a day. Not only does your body NEED it especially when you are trying to lose weight but ever since I started drinking a gallon a day I find that I don't eat as much or want to snack as often. Regular water tends to get boring so I do fruit infusions such as pineapple and orange or lime…

It is very difficult to say how many calories are allowed on a cheat day. Like it has been said already... it depends greatly on your net calorie intake for the week as a whole. I have none, zip, zilch, nada, NO WILLPOWER!! If I allow myself that slice of cheesecake I will start YEARNING for it, hardcore. I am weak and…

OMG! I just started looking into this website and I am in love! Thanks!

Good call! Thank you :-) I do need to stop focusing on a number. You are 100% correct. Part of the reason why I have that number goal isn't necessarily to appease my husband by my hot body (which would be awesome nonetheless!) but also because when we comes back we are planning on having a baby! I already have one child…

Water has been my friend. I drink about 1 gallon to 1.5 gallons a day. I infuse my water with natural antioxidants from citrus and berries. Nothing sucks more than the feeling of putting on weight after losing so much. I fell into the junk food trap again but now I have switched to lots of lean proteins and veggies!

Thanks for the tip! I guess I have the way of weight loss after gastric bypass still stuck in my head. For a whole year I would burn 600 calories and only eat around 800 calories a day (per doctor's instruction). The weight just fell off. So I guess the thought of eating back the calories burned just seems like a waste!…

Don't lose hope! I am finding that our bodies do really weird things! I have been working with the myfitnesspal app for about 3.5 weeks now. week 1 was incredible! 6 lbs down in only about 5 days... I could hardly believe it. But then the pounds started coming back little at a time. I assumed it was water weight or…
