  • i agree with above...plus get in an awesome workout in the am before partying...that way even if you do over indulge slightly, you will have a few extra calories to work with :)
  • i always complained about little rolls here and there but never wanted to put in the actual consistent effort needed to do anything about it...but then my work pants started to get a bit too tight and i went to buy new jeans in my usual size and they were too tight also...a friend introduced me to mfp and it has been…

  • i just went to a bachelorette party this weekend where we all had to bring a gag gift for the bride without our names on it...as she opened it she had to guess who the gift was from...if she got it wrong she took a jello shot and if she got it right the girl who the present was from took the jello shot...with or without…
  • i do the same thing with guesstimates about how many calories are in meals from local places :) i check out 2-3 that sound close to what i got and then pick the middle one...makes me feel better i am not the only one!

  • another idea would be to get in a super awesome workout in the AM, eat a lighter lunch (good time for a homemade salad), not snack as much throughout the day, then get something yummy on the menu that looks good (i would however still avoid alfredo or super cheesy entrees)...but ask for a box when you order and put 1/2 of…

  • i always count it as my water...i usually fill up a nalgene (64oz) and add just one packet...that way it is more h20 then flavor :) oh and target makes a really good sugar free raspberry packet that is zero calories :)

  • i completely understand...i was just thinking about it when i was getting ready this morning...i 'unofficially' weighed myself this morning and saw a number i don't think i've ever seen before and even though my clothes are getting too big and when i look at individual parts of my body i see a difference and i've gotten…
  • i'm 5"3.5' and a little under 130...and its the skinniest i've been since i was a freshman or sophomore in high school! even still since i've finally shed the 10+ lbs that have been weighing me down for the past 10 years i'd love to end up about 125ish which means losing almost 5 more lbs...i feel guilty because i know…
  • though i am shorter from the sounds of it i am built the same way with muscular thighs and a smaller waist and express jeans have always fit me well...i think the stella fit is what mine are currently...even though i am 'curvy' i have a hard time wearing curvy fit pants because they make my hips and thighs look huge! :)

  • i totally do too!!! and i can totally relate :) i've cut back on my wine habit big time since i've started working out/counting calories (as in attempting to have 1 glass every week or so) but you'd better believe that when i know i want to let loose and have a good time i spend a little bit of extra time at the gym...i…

  • when i started i thought that i wanted to drop just a few lbs to the mid to low 130s...but as i've seen changes and noticed how much happier i am with how my body feels and how clothes fit i've adjusted my goals and i'd like to land around 125-128 (i'm 5 ft 3.5 inches) :)
  • so many great ideas...i am craving tomatoes and salt now :)
  • reading your friday just about killed me :) awesome workout!! good job meeting your goal :)
  • friday: nothing-sick :( saturday: 3+ hours of cleaning for my brother's grad party so no real workout sunday: 25 min rollerblading so real working out 232 minutes but with cleaning over 400 :) not bad for a busy week!!!
  • i am right there with you...i love just about anything sweet...i've been able to lose weight here though because i've learned to limit my candy obsession a bit :) but there is no way i could give it up entirely because then i would be more prone to binge...moderation is key :)
