Can I log those burned calories for extra cardiovascular? :tongue:

I'm July 2014 and I've lost almost 5 since I started, and have about 25 more to go! I figured a year should be ample time, or more like the spring when I go for my final gown fitting!!

I'm in LOVE with PB2! I usually put a tablespoon of it into my protein shakes to get that PB flavor without all the extra calories. The Chocolate PB2 is awesome, too. :-)

I can really see the difference in your arms, face, and midsection! Congrats and way to go- an amazing feeling, I'm sure- you look GREAT!! Keep it up!:laugh:

YUM!! I'm totally drooling over here, reading the recipe. Thanks for the post! I'll be getting stuff to make that next week, I surely believe. :laugh:

You can all add me if you'd like- love the support and motivation!

That's a great website- thank you so much! It's just seems a little intimating to see the number increase so much from what I was eating when I was trying to lose weight! :-) I like to eat too and I think this just seems more realistic in the long run. I'm going to try it out- I mean, what do I really have to lose, besides…

Thank you- accepted! :-) congrats on your amazing weight loss so far- definitely encouraging! Way to go. :-)

I so couldn't agree more! :-)

Yes, so many things for motivation, but every time I look and admire my ring, I start thinking about how much money we are spending on the photographer and knowing that I will be having professional pictures done not only for the wedding but also for the engagement (NEXT WEEK AHHHH!), that is definitely motivation enough…

Yay for all of you- it's such an exciting time! I am getting married on July 18th, 2014!! Since I've gotten engaged on December 31st, 2012, I've lost almost 10 lbs in total and have about 10-20 more to go (planning on toning up too, so I'm kinda going on how I look and feel/not just the number on the scale this time). I am…

Hi everyone! Congrats to all of you. :-) My fiance' and I just got engaged on New Years Eve 2012 and we will be getting married July of 2014! We were originally planning on June of 2013, but his brother, who had only been dating his girlfriend for a couple of months, proposed before my man did and they set their date.…

Way to go! I can see the progress you already made and the positive direction you are heading it- must feel good and keep you motivated to move into the second month. Yay for you! :-)

Oh wow yum! Bump!

Love new friends, love to motivate, and love to be motivated! Feel free to add me. :-)

Aww I just love this story! :-) My two pups ( Stella and Bruno) are Chihuahuas and any bit of weight on or off makes a difference ( just like me, their shorty mama). They usually hover around 6.5-7 lbs and at one point, they both crept up to 8 lbs (thanks to the boyfriend with all the treats he'd give them!) Within that…

Hi there! How long has this been occurring? I upped my protein and started protein shakes a couple of days after I started all of this and for a few days to a week after I would drink my shake, I would feel completely sick to my stomach-nauseous! Gradually, it stopped and I don't see it as a problem anymore, but I was…

These are great, too. I make them with spinach, ff cheese, veggie sausage...or any other variation with stuff in the fridge. My mom used to make these when she was on South Beach Diet back in the day.

LOVE this!!! Definitely going to try. I do it already during the school year, but never have time to make them fresh on weekdays.

Congrats! That's my goal exactly- I'm just about your height and want to hit 98-100! You look fantastic! What did you start at and how long did it take you?

Today was my 15th and although a long journey, I've finally set my mind to it! Feel free any and all of you to add me. This has been a great support system thus far!

I'm so not fussy with foods but BEANS!!!! Ick! I will only eat green beans, soy beans, and jelly beans! (I will eat hummus but not chickpeas and occasionally a little of a bean dip with Mexican stuff, though...)

Saturday evening unwind with a perfectly measured glass of White Merlot!

Killer NSV!

I love my almond milk, but I quite possibly think I found a new love with this coconut milk!

Excellent ladies! So happy to hear of all your small, but so significant, successes! I can't wait to be the non-newbie, sharing my big success, too.:smile:

What a moving, touching, inspirational story! I just read it and shared it with my mom. You should be unbelievably proud of yourself and the journey you have taken. Wishing you the best of luck as you continue. :-)

I meant to put way LESS sugar than my creamer, oops.....I'm drinking it now and it's sooooo good!

^^^^this!!! Mmmmmmmmm Luna bars...I always have some on hand. They are perfect for that sweet craving and good to help boost calories/pick-me-up for the day!

Seriously, that IS a great idea! I didn't know if it would freeze well. I'm actually firing up my Keurig now and getting ready to have a Vanilla Coconut Golden French Toast iced coffee for 20 calories- way sugar than my creamer. Yum. Thanks! :-)
