Thankfully, nothing to write at this moment other than BUMP!:smile:

It definitely helps to define you! I have only been doing cardio for a while and definitely have lost the firmness that the Shred helped me achieve. I need to dust off the video and get back on it!!

I have gone to bed to keep from eating something else when I have reached my calorie limit for the day!

I'll bet that you never imagined what a can of worms you would open with that question!! I am 54 yrs old, 5'6 and 140 pounds. To lose my goal wt of 1 pound a week, I was allowed 1200 calories a day w/o exercise. I eat my exercise calories back almost all of the time! I am now on maintenance and can have 1570 calories a day…

I have made some great friends here who have helped ot motivate me! Feel free to add me!

Just looked at the recipe. It sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing..

Just home from HH. Cheers!:drinker:

I lowered my LDL from 177 to 107 by losing weight, watching what I eat and exercising, thus avoiding being put on medication. It was a great feeling when I got the lab results. Congratulations on a huge health victory!

One of my coworkers finally looked at me yesterday and asked if I had lost weight! I think because the weight came off gradually, the people that see me all of the time didn't notice the gradual change.

Feel free to friend me. :smile:

I agree with the Margirita Chicken!

I agree with Hellman's light, just use enough so it isnt dry! And no, unfortunately it won't taste as good as Subway!

I went to Disney in June. I was stressing out over what to eat for the first day or so, then decided that I was on vacation and I was going to relax and quit obsessing!! I drank lots of water, ate a healthy breakfast before going into the park and in spite of the Mickey bars, I didn't gain an ounce because of all of the…

You are looking good! Seeing the difference must be a huge motivator for you! Great work!

My job requires that they be covered up, so that's a problem with a tattoo in visible areas. My husband does not like the look of heavily tattooed women, but I do have one that is covered by clothes, and he likes it!

It's your birthday, go for it!!

I bought the DVD and like it but my friend bought it and can't stand the DVD. It's a great workout!

Congratulations on an amazing loss!! You look great!

I lowered my LDL by losing 25 pounds, exercising almost every day and watching my diet. My doctor told me that if you have "bad genes", sometimes there is nothing that you can do except take medication. I was happy to prove him wrong in my case!

I like Kashi bars. The protein curbs my hunger!

Welcome! My husband is losing weight just because I have changed the way that I shop and cook!

I have weeks like that and wonder what the heck is going on!! I think football snacks and beverages may be "doing me in". :grumble:

Very true.. you can read the totals for the day when you complete your diary. I imagine that they think they are helping.

Welcome!

Great job in losing! I went in June and didn't gain at all because of all of the walking, in spite of the fattening food that I ate!

My friend and I walk at lunch just about every day for 45 minutes. We are lucky enough to have access to a free gym in walking distance, so if it is rainy, no excuse for not exercising! It is nice so that if I have a busy evening, at least I have done something physical for the day!

I like greek yogurt because the protein takes longer to digest so you feel full for a longer time. Almonds are good! If I get hungry, I try to get busy and focus on something else! I also think that in the beginning I was obsessing because all I could think about was what I wasn't going to be eating any more!! Good luck,…

Welcome! This is a great website for support and motivation. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Welcome! This is a great website and it is helping me in my weight loss effort. Feel free to add me as a friend!

I live in the Harrisburg area but thankfully not near the river! I see people counting calories for cleaning, etc, so give yourself some credit for that grueling work! Stay safe and dry!
