depends on your body shape, but yes I also wear a large in many styles and brands and I am 187.

When I was working full time in a medical practice I had to rush to snack or eat. i got real good at stashing quick snacks. any granola bar Kellogs 90 cal bar carrot sticks cucumber sticks hard boiled egg beef jerky home made snack mix- any nuts, raisins, dried mango, dried cherry, raisins... laughing cow cheese and…

I love to make sides. My current fav is a delicious fresh tasting cabbage salad. I love coleslaw but it is soooo packed with calories. When and aunt in law made this I was overjoyed!! shredded cabbage shredded carrots chopped tomato chopped cilantro chopped bell peppers(all or any color) salt or bouillon vinegar (not too…

Yes, I try to eat fruit, whole wheat, veggies and lean. Hub wants fried chicken and meat and large variety of foods. Toddler wants cereal and crackers and pretzels-although he mainly eats what I eat he wants all the bread stuff in addition. Makes for a very full fridge. And of course while I cook other things I sample for…

Was actually on a program with a doctor who would give me the pills, and vit B shots. I lost 20 lbs pretty quickly but gained it all back. I think it was cuz my body didn't adapt, I didn't really have to work for it or change my habits. I tried this two different times with two different doctors with the same results!!! I…

you carry a 30 pound sleeping toddler thru the mall, to lunch, for a walk...... like nuttin

I have noticed the same thing..... I will have a over calorie few days and panic. And I will weigh less. I have a friend on here who is really fit and changes her calorie intake to keep her metabolism up. And sometimes when I am on vacation I get what I call accidental exercise.... where I will walk everywhere or play in…

o i forgot.... embarrassing stuff is funny when you put it down the list a little cuz people are so happy they have something. I called out preparation H, my boss yanked it out of her purse joyfully yelling, "I have it"!!!!

My all time favorite is called..... WHATS IN THE BAG? You don't have to buy anything or bring anything. Just write a list of common things we all carry around, and a few odd things~ you will be surprised some people carry wild stuff. Women carry these huge bags around with their entire lives in them. It is really funny cuz…

Funny, I had a nice laugh instead of all the normal fitness chat. Thanx you bunch of sillies!! And great work on looking hot.... I mean being fit:bigsmile:

usually when I need a snack I'm desperate. I keep a V-8 in my bag... I drink it before I eat any carbs. As far as carbs go I live in Honduras so I don't have access to a lot of the fancy snacks as I did in the US but I do have special K 90 calorie bars and dried fruit.

how wonderful!! You have worked hard!! You deserve to smile!!!

Like everyone else is saying, counting your calories is what helps you loose. I am a good example of what you are asking. I eat ok, but I do have chocolate almost daily. But as I have gotten more fit I appreciate eating healthier for a few benefits. I like to munch, and I can snack more if I eat healthier. And since I have…

I've done some googling to compare, and yeah it seems to be on. I take a daily vitamin.

Welcome!! I will tell you one of my favorite daily motivators.... at the end of each day "finish" your diary. It gives you your projected weightloss. Its a nice day ender!!

I freak out monthly!!! And now that I track everything so closely I notice every ounce!!! But don't worry I can fluctuate up to 5 LBS, which seems like alot to me but it is what it is!! Don't let it get you down it is a real rush when that weight is gone and then you are also down even more. Your hard work will pay off!!!

Take advantage of everyday!!!! You can do it. Some days that I don't feel motivated I put my exercise into my log before I do it and when I see the numbers it helps. And since its in my log I have to do it!!! :wink: The other thing that helps with this site is at the end of the day "finish" your diary, it tells you what…

You look wonderful. You have worked very hard!! "Being honest" with yourself was well put, its a very small thing but it is important!!! You are an inspiration!!

All of my jeans were getting too big, so I took ALL of them to the seamstress and had them make them a little snug. Now only way to go is DOWN:bigsmile:

I'm not into hardcore workout videos, I like to have fun, and kinda get distracted. I have been enjoying Julianne Hough's ballroom dance workout. It isn't too easy like some videos.... i like a little challenge. You can try out her clip on YouTube before buying too.
