This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

This sounds great! I'll have to try it sometime :-)

I was a huge soda drinker and happily I've kicked that habit with water. For me it was as simple as adding ice. I do not like water unless it's ice cold and I won't drink it. So I brought a few ice cube trays into my work and I keep them filled and drink away all day long. Also I got a great water bottle with a straw…

This is so beautifully written. Congrats to you for recognizing a toxic relationship and putting an end to it. It's time I do that myself. And yes, I do know who the OP is talking about in this post.

You look AWESOME Abby! Congrats on working so hard to achieve something so great! You are a rockstar and an inspiration!

I'm also on a low carb diet for the time being and last week I had a burger on sourdough. It did not fit into the parameters of what I eat at this time. You know what I did? I enjoyed it. And then I moved on. I didn't feel guilty for it or beat myself up. The next day I went back to low carbing it. In the meantime, I've…

I can't sit very well right now either and I dont have access to a gym or pool at the moment. That being said, there are somethings I can do with both suggestions, so thank you. Just because I don't have a speed bag doesn't mean I can't pretend I do and go at the air for a while.

I'm so glad that I was able to help! And welcome. I do not profess to know everything nor can I say that I do everything right, I just know what is working for me. The websites I mentioned earlier are: http://www.sandyskitchenadventures.com/p/medifast-recipes-only.html (Sandy has TONS of Lean Green recipes! I've only tried…

We have cake at my work all the time. Or donuts, popcorn, whatever. All stuff I choose not to eat, but it's really hard some days. If it doesn't fit into your day, skip it and be happy with yourself for the choices you're making. If it does fit into your day then have a small amount. It's up to you, that's the nice thing.…

Welcome! I have been on Medifast since April 8, 2014. I have lost 24 pounds so far, as of this morning. For me this is a program that works well and I am so glad a friend introduced me to it. I wish you luck with it as well! My absolute favorite Medifast meal is the Pineapple Mango Smoothie. It's so refreshing and helps my…

I'm 27 and so far I've lost 24 pounds, still have 40+ to go. Feel free to add me :smile:

I'm actually counting on this!!!

That's awesome! If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? I know sometimes different areas carry different things.

Seriously??? Costco has the Flex? I MUST look into this!

In for the rant and the sushi burrito!

Thanks! I am 100% wanting a Fitbit to track steps and motivate me to do some extra walking. I appreciate the differences you posted. Those are not the kind of things that the website shows for comparison! ETA: I had no idea you could wear the flex while showering!

Nope, never. I need to knock on some wood right now though because it's always in there with me!

Thanks! I'm leaning more towards the Flex but I wanted to see what people had to say about them.

I tried reading this article just to see what he was using to back up his claims, 3 times it's crashed my browser. I'm just saying, even my browser doesn't believe this.

I'm looking at them also. Does anyone have a preference between the Flex and the One?

Probably should have put this on the fitness board... Lol I wish I could move it!

I know it can be discouraging. My wedding dress was an 18W and my jeans are a 14. It really is true that wedding dresses run small. Try not to think so much about the size. I do hope that when your dress comes in and you try it on again you love it and feel beautiful in it. I felt that way when I bought my dress and the…

Amazing post!

First of all CONGRATS! You've taken some amazing steps in a very short amount of time and you should be extremely proud of yourself for that! Second, I buy my swimsuits from sporting good stores. Where I live we have Big 5 which is on the less expensive end. I like buying the one piece racing suits because I feel that they…

This is what I've been wondering! No one is trying to say your nutritionist isn't good or change your opinon of her. But you go over your diary with her and she doesn't have any answers. Maybe someone here can think of something she hasn't.

Thank you everyone for your help. It sounds like making sure I measure consistently in the same place and way is key. Does measuring in the morning make a difference versus measuring in the evening?

Awesome progress! Keep up the great and hard work!

^^^^^^THIS THIS THIS!^^^^^^

I completely understand how you feel! I just got married and since I only had a 4 month engagement I bought my dress not very long ago. The first time I went into David's Bridal my consultant was almost too sensetive about sizing and my weight. She went as far as apologizing for each dress she pulled that was too small. It…

Those have been my saving grace! I look forward to them and I love making into ice cream. SO GOOD! I also use them when we have cake at the office. I make a brownie and I don't feel as left out or tempted while everyone else eats cake. Congrats on your losses and keep chugging away. You'll make it!
