Hey- it's me- your up? I can't sleep don't know why... if you want to chat I am at home...... :smile:

Fab140: Have you tried the turkey bacon? Esskay brand is really good. 40 cals and 1 gram of fat. I love making myself a BLTA for lunch.....

Let me just tell you and you and your size 6 jeans have inspired me!!! Congrats on your success!!!!!!!! You look great! I look forward to being in the single didgets too some day. I started at 191 and now am 179 (as of Monday). I see your loss and I'll be there someday too!!!!! :drinker:

Yes- Luna bars are very filling....

good info thanks for sharing!!!

I love love love Luna bars too. I eat one every day between lunch and dinner. They curb my appitite and my sweet tooth.

OK- they get a yeah for me. I don't eat baked chips because of their nutritional value. I eat them because they are a sensible way to replace eating the fried ones. The fried ones don't even tast good to me anymore, too greasy.

I only put walking down if it's out of my regular routine. I don't count shopping, errands etc... I only count it if I go out for a walk or I do something way beyond my norm..i.e. heavy walking from sight seeing etc...make sense? That's just my take.

Hey- where do you guys find the virtual models?

1. Always have deit "staples" in fridge. For me that means fat free yogurt, Luna bars, fruit and Lean Cuisines (for when I don't have time to make a low cal meal). 2. Never let yourself get too hungry. You end up wanting to stuff yourself. 3. Enjoy the process. Don't forget to take a minute to feel proud of yourself for…

I am so glad you made it through the cravings! I hope you feel better!

Did you make it through your cravings yesterday?

Can you get outside, go for a walk, try reading a book, anything to get your mind off food.... GO treat yourself to something else that makes you feel good- a pedicure, a massage, a new pair of shoes. Usually when I want to binge it's because I am stressed or upset. Doing these things first, it helps with that binge…

1 cup kashi go lean crunch with fat free yogurt mixed in or 1 cup of nonfat milk. Sometimes I will do a slice of turkey bacon too if I am feeling like I need a little extra protien.

Welcome! I do use them, but not all of them or every time. I think it's important to make sure your eating enough cals to contiue loosing the weight but I mostly pay attention to if I am hungry or not. if it's the end of the day and I have extra cals from a big cardio workout but I am not hungry I don't eat them, if I am…

150 mg of sod. per serving. I don't watch soduim super close because my blood pressure is low and I am good about drinking my water.

And you get a lot for a 1 oz serving at 130 cals and 5 grams of fat. It's also "all natural".........

It's flavored puffed rice and corn. Kind of like a cheese puff. I bought it at Gaint in the health food section. They sell it a Trader Joe's too I think. SOOO good.

OK- Just weighed out an oz. of pirates booty to have with my 1/2 sandwhich at lunch! What a great satisfying snack! Just thought I'd share so if anyone else is looking to a good alternative to chips.

Personally- I think things have just gotten better with every passing year. GO out with your friends and celebrate all that life has to offer. 30 is the new 20!:drinker:

Thanks- That's a good idea. I'll do it that way.... I need to get excerise credit where I can. I've been wanting to try the home exercise DVDs which ones are good?

Wow! You should be so proud of yourself! What a gift you've given yourself and your family!

I just started doing a body pump class at the gym but I can't figure out how to log it and count the calories I've burned. Anyone?

good luck Monica!

abby-Just take it 10 lbs at a time and keep up the good work! Everyone's body is different- meet with your Doctor to find the right set weight for you.....I bet it's closer to 159 and not 118!

Wow- me too! my baby is 18 months now but after my first who is 4 now and my 2nd- I have put on 40 extra lbs. I weigh 190. I just want to get down to 150. My actual goal weight is 148. I like the way I fel at that number.

Thank you!!!!

Thanks...it looks like you've been doing this a while...it must be working for you!

HI OK so we are starting at the same time. Maybe we can be buddies. How much do you want to loose?

Hi I just signed up....a couple of my friends have started this and are doing really well. I thought I would try.::smile:
