I sent you a request!

5'5" and 250lbs... I kept telling myself I was happy with who I was and how I looked, but I was completely lying to myself.

Find fun outdoor stuff do to. I snowboard so it's great to get out and it burns a ton of calories too!

My new fav from the Healthy Foodie: http://thehealthyfoodie.com/2013/07/13/butternut-squash-kale-ground-beef-breakfast-bowl/ YUM!

I don't have an Iphone, but mine hasn't synced since last Wednesday :frown: Not sure why....

"You're much prettier now that you're not fat anymore" From coworkers after losing 70lbs...

Probably my morning cup of coffee- Caramel Apple flavored with a little cream ~approx 40 cals. Dinner might be close: carnitas with some roasted squash! I love fall :flowerforyou:

I think we spend approximately 200-250 every two weeks in groceries. I'm learning though to manage how much fruit we buy (trying only to buy on sale/in season stuff). Also it helps to plan what we're eating for a week and then buy everything all at once rather than go out to the grocery every couple of days. I try to pick…

If you're doing it at home and don't have a band, use a chair for support. If you put it sort of out in front of you so that you bend your leg to touch the back and use your legs to help (slightly) and use your arms at much as possible, you will get better! When I started doing pull-ups, I couldn't even lift my body at…

Anyone else?

:laugh: Driven is a good word!

Me too!

Thanks everyone! If could someone give me an example of some meals they normally eat? I'm trying to get a feel for portion/content of what a primal/paleo meal would look like. 8oz of steak or something? Also since you can't use sauces, what types of things do you all put on meat etc? (Not steak bc obviously a good steak…

My husband now walks up to me and asks "Did you weigh this?" before stealing some. Since the answer is almost always Yes, he doesn't take any. :smile:

Well I LOVE bacon and so does my hubby, so that will work nicely! For meats, should I focus on any types of cuts? I'm guessing I don't need to worry as much about lean cuts ie: chicken breast/tenderloins etc? Thanks for the advice everyone, I really appreciate it!

How do you get 60 % of your diet in fat though? Eating lots of Nuts? Also for me TDEE - 20% = 1515 I think. Thanks!

This was me too!! I got on the treadmill (hated running indoors) just so I could not watch everything so closely!

bump for later!

bump for saving :-)

I eat a lot of protein normally. (Today not a good day ) I also track fiber, and as you can see in my diary, I get enough each day. I do eat back exercise calories. On crossfit days I eat approx 1700 calories which is 1300 goal + 3-400 calories extra that I burned through crossfit. I normally eat lots of veggies, salads,…

I love quinoa. Just started eating it since I've done my life style change. Check out this recipe, it's sooooo good! http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/strawberry_rhubarb_quinoa_pudding.html

Bump!

Me Too!!! It's like healthy Starbucks!

Fuji then Granny Smith :smile: I love apples!!! I especially like dried ones(no sugar added of course) with cinnamon on them!

I have always been overweight. Ever since I was a baby (I weighed 9lbs when I was born). It didn't get better from there :wink: Seriously though, I was always overweight, always the FAT kid in class. Part of that was due to diet, all we ate at my house growing up was Mac&Cheese, Pasta, and burgers and Pizza. I lost some…

Zumba. No one cares if you don't know all the moves, it's fun and keeps you moving!

I got a Fitbit! Still learning how to use it, but so far it is very cool!

I don't wear mine when I work out for a few reasons. 1. My fingers swell and it makes wearing the ring uncomfortable 2. I don't want to scratch the ring when I'm lifting 3. I don't want to lose any of the diamonds (they've fallen out before!) I also don't wear it when I'm sleeping because I would scratch the hubby in my…
