Oh I hear you... we may need to make a support group for the significant others in our lives - my fiance keeps saying bye bye to my chest - there wasn't a lot there when I started but now I have WAY less... not fair!!

I can tell you that it does get easier - I used to drink about 3-4 diet cokes a day and now it has probably been 2 months since I had one. After a few days, it got much easier. My one recommendation - get a water bottle than you like to drink from - I know it sounds crazy but I noticed I drank more water from a glass with…

I can't say this works, but I have an excersize I do... be warned - you look crazy!! Hopefully I can explain this - slowly say the vowels A, E, I, O U with very exageratted facial and mouth movements (maybe 4 seconds for each letter). On the U push your lower jaw forward - basically I think you look like a chimp sticking…

The first one for sure - the colors and cut look so great on you - but I would do a different shoe... I will be picking out my dresses this evening as well - I have 2 weddings this weekend! Good luck!

I agree with what was already said... find something fun. I really hate to work out, but I find things like gardening or cleaning out a closet are refreshing and fun for my life and they burn calories. I also love walking my dog - she loves it too so I focus on her being happy as my motivation. As for stepping up to work…

I think it is all personal - I had a hard time deciding what my end goal should be so I just went back to pictures of the old me and decided what I wanted to look like and then set that weight as my goal. Then I basically divided my ultimate goal by 4 and made my mini goals. I will share that my motto (that really works…

Just printed this out - thank you - does it work well with skinless chicken breasts as well?

my go to chicken recipe... mix together a combination of panko crumbs (make this your bulk - they have the least calories, fat and sodium), progresso italian bread crumbs, and greated parmesan cheese (this is the only time in my life where I will use the kraft stuff from the green can as it gets crunchy when you bake it).…

I went years back when I was about 27 year old. At my location I was the youngest memeber by about 20 years, which was fine, for awhile, but then after the 50th - what is such a young thing doing here comment - it started to get annoying. I did lose some weight, but it really took time and I agree with what was said above…

Ok ladies - how do I add that awesome banner to my profile?

I am certainly not an expert, but I agree with adding something like nuts. Pistachios (spelling?) are my fave as the plain ones still taste great... raw almonds get really boring to me. Maybe add a hard boiled egg? As far as I know, the key is to make sure you hit your 1,200 calories a day otherwise you can start to shut…

It sounds crazy, but on the first day I start - I get up and do a great workout in the monring and then I do a 1 day fast (3 shakes) and warm lemon water in between. I can't say it is fun and you are really hungry, but then the next day everything tastes really good and I my cravings are totally gone. I also usually drop a…

I have toyed with MFP for a long time, but really only became serious on here in May 2011. I was at my highest then of 187 lbs and I am 5 foot... As of this morning I weighed in at 170lbs. My goal weight right now is 131lbs by May 2012 (my wedding!!). I have quit smoking, i'm trying to find a new job (losing mine!), move…

After I quit smoking my metabolism took a long vacation... hello 25lb weight gain while eating healthy. The easiest way to build metobolism is to build muscle - make sure you don't skip your strength training/sculpting days. I also used a Biotin supplement to help kick start it back into gear (it is also awesome for your…
