You are correct mine is open to my friends. And I might even change that! LOL

Same here. Oh very true. Definitely a personal choice. I love getting ideas from other's diaries as well. I have asked other's for recipes from their diaries before...;)

No you didn't come off snippy. I just wanted to clarify BEFORE someone was offended. :)

EXACTLY!! Me either!

See and it's that very reason that mine is public. It's that very shame that keeps me honest as well, just in a different way. But that's what I love about this site. You find what works for you. Good luck on your continued journey!

I agree Queen! That's kinda what I was "ranting" about in the 2nd paragraph. :smile: I am not bashing anyone for having a private diary btw. I was just wondering peoples reasoning that's all. Like I said it works for me, just knowing that people can view it and crticize, even if that criticism isn't voiced. And that's my…

yup same thing here. I think the 2lb/wk setting really only works for the morbid obese. I'm not complaining either. The 1lb/wk works for me and it's realistic. This is something I can do long term!

130

You can use it in place of sour cream. Also you can use it in place of oil for brownie and cake mixes as well.

Belvidere, IL but this summer it will be Smithville, TN :happy:

She-Ra! She was one bad a** woman!!! :tongue:

My secret goal: My oldest son leaves for the Marine Corp boot camp in 2 weeks and I want to show up to his graduation in 15 weeks looking just as healthy and in shape as he is! I want to look as proud as I will be and i want him to be proud of me as well.

Wrap the under portion of the ring, the part on the inside of your finger, with yarn till it fits right, keep in place with a drop of glue, ON THE YARN. The best part is you can adjust the size as needed. This will keep your rings snug in place till you reach your goal and then have them resized.

I have a piece of fruit, or a glass of dark chocolate almond milk or chew gum. Or if my calories allow it, I have the correct portion size of what I'm craving and savor every bite! :tongue:

I took this shot 16 yrs ago when it was new. I didn't gain any weight on it, but I was a horrendous b*t*c* on it! It made me very moody! Also I now have a 15 yr old son, obviously it didn't work for me! LOL

I am with ya on this one. Only I am good at one or the other, like when I am eating good, I tend to slack on the exercising, when I'm busting my a**, I tend to over indulge! UGH! But for the past two weeks, I have been very diligent and have doing very well. Now it's only been 2 wks, so I could use the supportive…

U can substitute the oil with any puree, really. I have used the beans, applesauce, pureed prunes, pureed banana, pureed peaches, pureed pears, pureed mango, anything really, also u can use yogurt, I love that. Use your imagination and find what works best for you.

Victoria2448 You look happy and healthy! I'd definitely say a 9 :tongue:

5'5" 170lbs size 10-12.....hoping to get back to at least a 6! :tongue:

OMG! I CANNOT STAND CONDA! I too almost chocked when she said that! On Bob's behalf I think he is just disgusted by how the entire black team acted. I think he knew that honestly getting upset and yelling and them wasn't going to do any amount of good, like he said "yes this is childish behavior but the emotions were real"…

I wonder that same thing? I mean I know I'm sweating, and I really can't think of another cardio exercise I like nearly as much!! :blushing:

High Fiber. Drink 8oz of water before EVERY meal. Don't deprive yourself, if you want something, have it, just be mindful and savor it. Oh visual stimuli: Put the bikini, skinny jean whatever your dream item is, where you will see it EVERYDAY, like stapled to your closet door or something like that, so you are inspired…

homemade fruit flavored iced herb tea UNSWEETENED! 0 calories, 0 fat and all the antioxidants. I had to gradually remove the sugar, but now I don't even miss it.

Also on the BL they are training 8+ hrs a day. They have trainers, medical staff and a nutritionist. What they do on that show is great! But it is also unrealistic in the real world. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it really shouldn't be done, at least not without VERY CLOSE medical…

Sorry guys haven't had much time to post, but I've been doing the work and have continued to meet my goals!!! My wt as of Sunday was still 161 lbs.

All goals complete!

All goals were met for 9/1/2011

Sorry had a FULL day yesterday, but I did complete ALL goals for yesterday (Tuesday 8/30)

All goals met for me!!!

I tried this and it kept telling me I had 0% body fat which was impossible and to try again. I did this multiple times and even had my hubby double check that I was putting the right numbers in the right places. So I don't know what happened but I can promise you that I'm a great deal more than 0%!!! LOL But I tried!!!!
