Can I have your old figure? I'll be happy with that anyday!

I just bought some of those. How do you use them?

Im intrigued. Been looking for something to substitute mayo and now I think I may try this. But not sure what Tahini is. Where do I find in in the supermarket isle>?

Thank you for that. I am an idiot when it comes to calculations. Anyways looks like I need to eat more. Thinking eating way less was the key as I am between 800-1000 calories per day and nothing is happening even thought I am exercising like mad. I am going to try this and hope it works as I beginning to lose my mind.

Oh wow I am stunned. I am on day 3 and so far I am just sore and not seeing anything yet but its only day 3. So far liking the workouts and also doing the killer buns (that hurts)

I asked for one of these recently for Valentines day. http://www.fitbit.com/

Oh man this is the best thread yet. I only read a few and I just want to say that I feel so much better about my lame *kitten* proposal I got. So here it goes. We had been invited to Las Vegas to attend a Star Trek convention and while laying bed he says "so what do you think we are going to be in Vegas we can kill two…

Hi Neighbor! La Mirada also :flowerforyou:

U know what is freaking funny about this? I knew a woman with a similar story. In my teen days I worked at McDonalds and knew a woman (older) who been there forever! She told me she had been married to this man for 29 years and I congratulated her. She said.."don't" he has been cheating on me with this much younger woman…

i got mine two years ago a waist one and those shorts. Unfortunately the shorts are too big now for me and now I have to invest in getting one my size. The only thing I don't like about these things is they do make you sweat but even after taking my off and showering I am still very itchy!

I certainly do! Before having BR done I was a 46DDD!!! And one night I went to bed in a white tank top ( I got hot) and no bra thinking I give the girls a break. There was a huge fire two doors down and my neighbor called to alert us and to tell us to get out of the house (he thought it might spread) so we went outside and…

Day 5 down 6 lbs, it was this or the lemonade diet. I'm glad I choose this. I get to eat!

Day 5 of attack phase, down 6 lbs! I am doing the happy dance as I have been on a stupid plateau since July of this year. I recently had BR surgery and they took off alot of boobs and guess what when I came out and after the swelling had gone down the doctor said I should be a few pounds lighter. NOT! I was at my same…

I had Lap band and lost 114 lbs and I would do it all over again and again. You might get some negativity from those who believe you should just "try hard" and "just exercise" and "just eat right" but i say you do what is right for you. Since having lap band I have learned to eat right and I exercise alot. Good luck on…

I recently had breast reduction 9/29/11. I was a 42 DDD and now I am a 38C. Like you I was nervous too. I couldn't sleep the weeks before my surgery. I cried for no reason. But I was sick of my back always hurting and unable to jog or run without hurting myself. My breaking point was a day at Disneyland with my kids. I…

In just reading this I can relate. When married 9 years ago my husband was just under 200 lbs and 6'3. He ate like a horse! And ate whatever he wanted. He said he hadn't really gained weight since high school (hate him). I however married him a chubby size 16/18 and growing. I exercised all the time. After having my two…

OH DAMN THATS GOOD! (referring to Sidesteel comment)

I've always been the type that didn't care what others thought about me especially men. I figure the ones who are judgmental don't deserve me anyways and that the poor skinny soul who does meet them will just be with a shallow being. The right one will be the one who sees you for who you are inside and now how much is on…

How did she do it? I am a 14 and want to be a 4 too! argh! I

I'm not going to get on your case either. I been plateau since July. Not giving up yet but not happy either. Someone pass me some Oreos!

Forgive me for saying this but...cauliflower pizza crust? yuck! But since I am watching my carbs also I guess I should try it before saying that.

So tried to read all the responses but at work and couldn't finish them all. I had lap band two years ago. I have lost to date 114 lbs. I am not going to say which is better because both come with risk. Lap band takes longer to lose so ask yourself this.....Am I willing to wait for the results? gastric is way faster almost…

I don't always like telling people to pig out to restart/jumpstart whatever but I have been losing weight like crazy then for the past 4 months I have been plateau. I exercise daily, i eat healthy, i count my calories, ect ect....I hear well your body adjusted things like that. Or you need to eat more. Well I recently got…

You know what the pic of you at your daughters graduation you look really pretty. I love the outfit and you hair looks super cute! I think you look amazing in your before and after pictures! Congrats on your achievements!

After reading these post I am going to try Trader Joes. Can you guys give me a list of your favorite things there to try, frozen, snacks, drinks, ect. I overheard a lady at the grocery line raving about some salsa there. Now I am curious!

First of all good for you! Looks like you have a plan of action. I had the same problem and what worked for me was tricking my body in amount of food and type of exercise. My body adjusted to the same amount of calories and the types of workouts I was doing. So I either increased my workout and or increased/decrease my…

I have the Polar FT60 and it comes with chest strap and GPS arm strap. I love this HRM. As far as connected to phone I don't think so.

My best friend is currently doing the drops. She has lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks. She says its the easiest diet in the world. But I am skeptical and eating 500 calories a day (someone will die). I eat 1000 calories a day and that is hard. I can imagine 500 calories. Before you fork out around $100.00 (that what she paid) try…

Hey! Are we married to the same guy????? I'm kidding. I worry about my husband too. He is 10 years older than me (im 40 he is 50) and since losing 100lbs I get told all the time how much younger I look. The other day his best friend told him he better jump on the fitness wagon because soon as I get to my goal weight he…
