Hi everyone. I just joined this group, so I'm late coming in this week. I have a daily goal of 10,000 steps (approx. 4.5 miles for me) and I currently generally do a lot less than that. I'm working hard to get the numbers up so I can do 100 miles this month!

The women in my family all have the body shape of a small waist and large thighs. No matter how thin I get (and I have been Pretty Darn Thin at points in my life) they are always disproportionately large. I have never been happy. My beautiful, extremely fit daughter has the exact same shape but she LOVES her thighs. She…

I like to freeze extra firm tofu, then thaw and squeeze the water out. It gets a wonderful chewy texture and gets really crisp if you fry or bake it. It really changed my whole outlook on tofu.:smile:

Eggs Unsweetened almond milk Red leaf lettuce Apples Chia seeds

- Hard boiled egg, or any kind of egg for that matter (I love eggs!) - string cheese - apple or celery with peanut butter, or a spoon of peanut butter

Way to go! And what a perfect way to celebrate!

I have the same stats as you, but at my job I'm on my feet all day. It has taken me almost 6 weeks to lose 3 lbs. eating 1300-1400 cal. per day. I guess this shows that it isn't generally a good idea to compare weight loss with others...it can be discouraging.

I worked for several years at a major department store as a gourmet foods cook/demonstrator/sampler and that is exactly my experience.

Right now I'm 177 and a 10 or 12 depending on the cut (my weight is pretty much concentrated in my thighs and rear but I have a small waist). In dresses and skirts I can generally wear a Medium. When I was down to 160 a while back I was a very comfortable 8, sometimes a 6.

I like the Joseph's also, it is like real bread. And I agree about the Flatout....to me they are gummy and gritty at the same time, like eating chewing gum and sand.:tongue:

They might have it at your store in either the refrigerated section (by the "natural foods", if you have a spot like that) or they might have the shelf-stable ones in the "natural foods" section. If you can't find it in one spot, look in the other. I usually get the shelf-stable package myself since it is a smaller carton…

I was always overweight growing up (as was my entire family) and I will NEVER forget a comment made by a nurse at my Dr's office when I was about 10 or 11. I got on the scale and weighed about 160 and she exclaimed "Wow, you weigh as much as my husband!" I was shocked and embarrassed. I never told my parents what happened,…

That is exactly what happens to me, except I can't eat any kind of yogurt at all. ! I am in my 50's, so my Dr. is always pushing the whole calcium thing even though my bone density is excellent. I started eating yogurt every day (can't stand milk and I can't drink it). Almost immediately I started getting the big hard…

Way to go to the posters above me.....so close to your monthly goals!

I just put a scoop (1T) in a glass of water every morning. Give it a good stir, let it sit for a couple minutes and drink it up. I like it. :smile:

I love an apple, all chopped up, and a bit of vanilla in mine. No sweetener needed. The vanilla brings out the natural sweetness from the fruit and yogurt. If I have the calories to spare for the day I put some walnuts on top.

Everything I have that is UnderArmour brand says not to use fabric softener on it, I never really thought about the reason though.

I've always used hot water and a big scoop of baking soda on my son's super-smelly football clothes (that would get used every day for a week between washings) and it always worked to get all the smell out. Don't use fabric softener, it traps the stink in the fabric.

All I know is I am allergic to it - throat closing up, tongue swelling allergic - and now it seems to be in every doggone thing. It seems if something is "multigrain" now, it has the stuff in it.

I lost over 50 pounds with Weight Watchers and never once ate any Weight Watcher foods.

This is true. I like to see my ratio of carbs/fat/protein etc. and I like to keep my sodium levels in check . You can do all that here (for free), can't do it on Weight Watchers. They do stress eating within healthy guidelines but all you can keep track of is points.

That sounds delicious!!

Hi all, I'm new here. Joining this challenge for the first time! SW:179 CW:179 GW (for July):174 Weigh in Dates: Start plan (7/2 Weds): 179 7/5 Sat: 178.2 7/12 Sat: 7/19 Sat: 7/26 Sat: End of Month 7/31 (Thurs): Looking forward to this, good luck everyone! Sandi

Hi, newbie here but a LONG-TIME Weight Watcher so I'd like to throw my two cents in. First off, Weight Watchers is a great way to lose weight. I lost a lot of weight (50#) a while back , became a Lifetime Member and kept most of it off for several years. I've always been a slow loser, and now that I am once again trying to…
