QOTD Wednesday: Other than myfitnesspal (!), what is your favorite weight loss tool? Since my bathroom scale sucks, I don't have a kitchen/food scale, and I don't have a HRM (yet!)...... I will have to say my 30 Day Shred video and hand weights.

QOTD Tuesday: What are your favorite low calorie snack? Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches OR fresh mushrooms dipped in low-cal ranch dressing

Monday's QOTD: If you could walk into ANY store and WEAR anything and money was not an object WHERE would you shop and WHAT would you buy?? Nordstrom... starting in the shoe dept with a fabulous pair of strappy Manolo Blahniks or Jimmy Choos and then onto designer dresses for this dress...…

QOTD Friday June 24: What do you think will be the most wonderful thing about reaching your goal weight? I will be confident about who I am and what I look like. And I'll stop making jokes about how chubby I've gotten to cover up how ashamed I am.

Thurs QOTD: Has your weight stopped you from achieving anything? I don't think it has stopped me from achieveing anything per se. But my post-baby weight gain has effected my self-confidence and stopped me from wearing the clothes that I want to wear.

Wednesday: Are you active in any other MFP message boards to help you with your goals? Do you have weekly/monthly goals? What are they and how do you keep track of them? I randomly check out the message boards but I'm not actively involved with any others. My weekly goals include: drinking at least 80oz of water 6 days a…

QOTD Tuesday: What is the most beautiful place you've visited ? Unfortunately I haven't traveled outside of the US, yet. But one of the most beautiful places I've visited is Mackinac Island, Michigan. The view of the lake is amazing and when all of the lilacs are in bloom, I just love it. I also love the mountain views in…

Monday's Question of the Day: Losing weight is a major accomplishment. What has been your biggest accomplishment in life prior to your weight loss? I think my biggest accomplishment is a 3-way tie between my wonderful children.

I think we were all confused because the other post for the Diamond Challenge stated the following: Please pay attention to the following important dates: Sunday, June 12th First day to register for the challenge Friday, June 17th Last day to register for the challenge Friday, June 17th You MUST weigh in on Friday BEFORE 7…

Thanks Doll! (have always wanted to say that like the men in old black & white movies...lol)

I have been looking all over for the list of DITR teams/partners. Can someone please post the link or tell me where to find it? Thanks!!

Unfortunately I have not even made it near my all time goal, but I am over 25% of the way there. I have lost 12.5 lbs towards my 39lb goal.

Too funny! I loved Fraggle Rock as well. My husband and I now have the dvds. lol

Definitely want to be a part of round 3. I am loving round 2. The challenge is keeping me motivated... plus having an amazing partner is such a bonus! I am being held accountable, holding others accountable, and making great friends along the way! And my name is Nicki (or Nicole).

Monday May 30th- What was your most fun life experience (or one of your most fun experiences)? My 2nd wedding. October 4, 2008, was one of the most amazing, fun, exciting days of my life. Tuesday May 31- If you could make any ONE food (or drink) a zero calorie, "free" food, what would it be? PASTA! I love it but the…

QOTD Friday 5/27: Do you have a favorite quote that motivates you in your weight loss journey or in your daily life? My answer: Mine is a tie between 2 quotes. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Ghandi. This one motivates me to make positive choices everyday and to raise my children without hate, prejudice,…

QOTD Thursday: Do you have a 'bucket list' and what are the top three items? I don't have a formal bucket list. But 3 things that come to mind: 1. Travel to England and while I'm there have a beer in a local pub with my DITR partner Nikki 2. Hula with my husband on a beach in Hawaii ~ looking fit/ slender in my top and…

Welcome to Round 2!! My partner will be posting the QOTD today. And I am the QOTD for tomorrow :)

QOTD Wednesday: What workouts do you love/hate/love to hate? I love Leslie Sansone's "Walk Away the Pounds" dvd and Zumba for the Kinect. I also love the treadmill. I guess I don't really hate any workouts. And along with many others, I love to hate Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.... love the results and even some of the…

QOTD: Tuesday- Has losing weight had any effect on your sex life? If so is it better or worse? So far, no changes. However, my weight has never really been a factor with our sex life. Its the fact that we have a 1yr old, 3 yr old, and 13 yr old. lol

At what point in your weigh loss journey did you join MFP? I started using MFP about a week after I decided to actually do something to lose the baby weight. I had downloaded the app on my Droid about 6-8 weeks before that but had only used it once or twice to check calories at a restaurant. And that was more out of sheer…

Thanks! I was worried that I missed it somehow.

Was there a QOTD on Wednesday?!?

I haven't noticed a change yet, but those 12 pounds had to come from somewhere. lol My mom says that my face looks slimmer (even though its still very round). My husband agrees with her and also thinks my butt seems a bit smaller.

The first goal I set for myself was a NSV...to complete Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. When I reached that goal, I scheduled a 90 minute sugar scrub massage for myself. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the appointment, which isn't until mid-June.

So sorry for the delay everyone on Monday's QOTD. I had a throbbing headache along with stomach pains yesterday, so I was barely on the computer. And I just finally sent my partner the embarrassing story about myself. Here is the embarrasing story from my partner, Nikkiws: "Recently I went swimming and had put my costume…

Great job to all of the diamonds that lost weight this week! And for those that didn't, you can do it this week!! Yellow Diamonds... let's drop some pounds!!!

Thursday QOTD: Since youve started healthy eating, what are some alternative recipies you now use instead of an unhealthy one? I haven't altered any recipes, but I have incorporated new foods into my life, like tilapia and greek yogurt. QOTD::Friday 13th Edition:: Are you an emotional eater? If so how are trying to…

Wednesday QOTD: I love to see the number on the scale come down. But sometimes it can be stubborn, and I get discouraged. Concentrating on NSV’s (non-scale victories) can help bring me out of my funk. What NSV are you proud of? My NSV would be ending my love affair/ addiction with Diet Mt Dew and replacing it with water.…

I have found a new love - tilapia. I've been eatting it once a week now.
