I say donate them! By getting rid of your "big" clothes you won't be able to have something to fall back on. And if your new size starts getting tight its an indicator to get back on track. Enjoy your new size and say goodbye to the old you!

Drink tons of water to flush out the extra sodium. Enjoy the fact that you had a great time yesterday, but that yesterday is over and now you need to get back to your plan. Don't stress over a fun day. You have to indulge every now and then!

I like sun dried tomato hummus or roasted garlic hummus. I love dipping broccoli into it.

I'm so sorry for the pain you are having as well as the frustrating situation that you are in. With that being said, you have to get your rest. I know you want to help your husband, but by overdoing it you will take longer to recover. You need to take care of yourself so that you can be there for them. Do what you can with…

That's great that you lost 20lbs. You should buy yourself a few pieces of clothing. It will make you feel better about yourself and motivate you to get to your goal. You definitely deserve a reward for your hard work.

That's fantastic! Great job!

Diet and exercise can definitely play a role as to when you get your period. No one's body works like clockwork and you may just be having a longer cycle. I would test again this weekend, but make sure not to use a blue dye test - they are notorious for inaccurate results. Definitely take the test in the morning when the…

You look hot! Amazing job - thanks for the inspiration!

You should check out some of the dvds that are on sale on ebay. You might get a better deal. I just bought the 30 day shred for $8 and that includes shipping. I'm thinking about doing p90x because I've seen some phenomenal results on these boards for those that have used it.

Loving yourself is important. However, one act of loving yourself is to care for your body. It sounds to me like you want to make healthy changes in your life and you are definitely going about it in the right way. Your sister in law has to make her own decisions. If she is comfortable and loves her body the way it is -…

Peanut butter!

I stole it from a friend's facebook!

That is a really sweet story. I'm glad that you inspired your daughters to be healthy! Good job to all of you!

Betty Crocker Wake-Up Shake 1 Banana 1/4 cup Orange Juice 1/2 cup Frozen Berries 1 cup Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt 2 Servings Super yummy and filling. If you go in the database the nutrition info is listed.

That's good info! I just signed up for the chat.

Definitely pack some healthy snacks. Nuts are good and filling, fruits, veggies and drink lots of water.

I weight myself daily. My body tends to either stay the same weight or go down in weight. If I go down in weight - you bet I log it! I like weighing myself. It keeps me motivated and focused.

I've had that with the spice and pumpkin - but never the chocolate chips. Yum. You can also use devil's food and it tastes more like brownies.

Have you tried taking the before you go to bed on a full stomach?

I had that so bad I would want to rip off my skin. I think it definitely has something to do with circulation and possibly even the temperature. I haven't had it an awhile and I hope it stays away. Good luck and push through it as best as you can.

I'm 5'11" 195lbs my food/exercise journal is open if you want to take a look.

Putting on my workout clothes right after I wake up so I'm already ready to workout, thinking about how my husband and I are trying to start a family and realizing that I want to be a healthy mom - I think that's about it for today.

I think I'm going to try a low fat macaroni and cheese recipe. I've been craving it, but didn't want to buy the processed stuff. Now I get to try out a new recipe and I'm excited! Thanks for all of the great suggestions!

My husband and I pay $80/month for both of us at Gold's Gym. I would say you definitely got a good deal.

Are you eating enough fiber?

If you deprive yourself of something you love, you are setting yourself up to binge or lose control on the rare occasions you have it. There is no reason why you can't have the food you enjoy if you can teach yourself moderation. It can be a tough process to teach yourself limits, but it will be worth it in the long run.

I think it's activity you can add to your cardio.
