That's all I'm saying! It would've just been nice to know before hand

After seven years of a really nice Christmas bonus....got absolutely nothing this year. No "heads up" either. Apparently they need to cut corners and that's what got cut. Couldn't even tell you how pissed off I still am annnndddd watched Nation Lampoon last night and totally felt his pain!

I like my sweet potato chips with kosher salt and cayenne pepper :)

Thanks so far!! The hummus, tuna snack, and hard boiled eggs are going on my grocery list!

I agree-see a doctor for some blood work

I agree

Uh oh I hope mine doesn't do that. It's being shipped to me as we speak....

Requiem for a Dream, extremely bizarre and tragic movie. And P.S. I Love You: cry every 5 minutes during that movie :sad:

Born in Erie, and grew up in Cambridge Springs. Now in TX :laugh:

That was at my boss' lakehouse near Gunbarrel City. Really nice, but about an hour or two away? I don't remember.

I am also in Plano :happy: I go to LA Fitness on Midway and Park. I mainly do spin class there twice a week, which is a FAST way to lose weight and highly recommend it. I have two jobs at the moment and am a fanatic about couponing as well :laugh: Feel free to friend me if you need a workout buddy (when I have the time) or…

That's exactly what motivated me. I was walking down the hall one day and noticed I could feel a roll on my back where the fat was touching :laugh:

Works for me! I'll probably forget, but I know I'll be there and I'll bring them up to work so they'll be there. See you soon :)

Oh I'm sorry to hear that! I thought 3 wks was bad. Well we're here for each other :)

I was never really much of a smoker anyway, just mainly one before bedtime. So it was pretty easy for me to quit.

I ALWAYS need something sweet after a meal. Anybody else? I find two dark chocolate hershey kisses seem to do the trick :smile:

Funny you should comment on this. I went down a bra size and finally bought new bras this past weekend and have been trying to adjust to the realization this entire week lol. It's all good :) I am incredibly happy with this bod!

What an amazing weight loss! Good for you!

In the same boat as all of you. Now I can actually ENJOY working out and not worry so much about how many calories I'm burning. As well, it's normal to have a few pounds gain or loss from week to week. My new goals are running a 10K next weekend and a half marathon in May :) Any one of you feel free to add me :)

I agree. It's always good to have snacks on hand. Yogurt and granola is filling or banana and peanut butter....

They have low sugar and added calcium to some OJ's. Not sure why those would be bad for you.

The more muscle you build the more efficient your body becomes at burning fat.

It's by doctor's advice that you shouldn't be doing ab exercises. Cardio would be a lot more beneficial to you. As well dark chocolate is absolutely fine. By the way, 17 lb wt gain at 6 months is absolutely fine, you should not be obsessing or concerned unless your doctor is concerned. At term you'll be gaining a lot more…

Walmart is probably cheaper. That's where I got mine and it's a soy-based protein. EAS Advantage. Soy milk just store brand-I got mine at Kroger.

Here's some I have yet to try. Let me know if you like 'em :) 1 scoop vanilla powder handful of ice 3 oz water 2 t ground coffee 1 scoop vanilla powder sprinkle of cinnamon 1 dash of vanilla 12oz water handful of ice graham cracker 2 scoops of vanilla powder 12 oz milk 4-8 thin mints handful of ice

Welcome! Glad you're here :) Believe me, you'll get tons of motivation and ideas and support on here.

Oooooh that sounds good too!

What the?! Why the heck would a gym have pizza night??? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Not to mention candy greeting you at the counter. What gym do you go to?

Yep I am doing the novice training through Hal Higdon for my half marathon in May. So far so good! Feel free to add me for questions or support.
