Have you had your thyroid and iron checked? I was doing just that, sleeping all of the time and never feeling rested, when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism ten years ago. A simple blood test will confirm if you are suffering from either that or low iron. Good luck!

Very inspirational! I started at 178 on May 2, 2011 and have lost 19 pounds. My goal weight is also 120. You definitely give me hope that it can be done! Congrats!!

Do you eat your exercise calories back??? My response: Honestly, at this time, I don't burn that many calories exercising to begin with. Most of my weight loss has been a result of changing my eating habits. But on the days that I do exercise, it all depends on how I feel that day. If I'm hungry in the evening, then I will…

Today's QOTD: When is the last time you tried something new? What was it? Will you do it again? My response: I signed up for a Body Sculpting class in June with my mom. I've never done anything like that before. It was twice a week for an hour each time. I couldn't walk the day after the first class and sitting down on the…

Potato chips. I won't buy them, but if they are at a cookout, I always have a handful of them.

I'm in the Eastern time zone as well! Cleveland, OH I've always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise. I just need to find that special someone to go with ;)

This is the one I make on the weekends for breakfast or lunch: 1 container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt 1 c. frozen strawberries 1/2 c. skim milk 1 frozen banana Blend until smooth. There are many different variations you can do with this depending on favorite fruits but this one is my favorite.

Welcome! I love this site. It really keeps me motivated. Good luck!!

Bump. Sounds so yummy!!

I prepopulate my diary as much as I can. I find it very helpful so that I don't end up hungry at the end of the day with no calories left.

I'm in. I am much more dedicated when I have a challenge and have to report in :)

I've read that it is healthy to lose between 1-2 pounds a week if you want to sustain the weight loss. Sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Keith Urban - something about the rugged bad boy type.....

The Heavenly Crisp Bar comes in two flavors - Peanut Butter and Chocolate. The Dreamy Clusters come in milk and dark chocolate. My favorites are the peanut butter bar and dark chocolate clusters. I have found them at Giant Eagle, Target and Walgreens. I think you can go to the Skinny Cow website and search for where they…

I love taking my black lab, Mindy, to the beach to swim. It's a nice 15 minute walk through the woods, then down the hill to the beach. I throw her water toy over and over - she can never get enough. Occasionally I have to chase her down the beach because she loses focus and sees someone she wants to visit (ok, that part…

Chocolate cake batter ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. If you saw my post a couple of days ago about how I used to make cake batters just to eat them, then the best ice cream I've ever had shouldn't be a surprise :)

I tried the ones with peanut butter chips, and they were just ok, a bit dry in my opinion. I won't be buying them again when there are so many other good tasting options out there.

Emerald's 100 calorie almond packs in Dark Chocolate flavor. I keep them in my purse for those "in case of emergencies."

Oh that is terrible! Glad he is an ex!!

For me, it's my feet. They are small (size 6) and all of my toes are really small and in proportion to the toe next to it. So I wore some really cute sandals to work today to show off my feet and pretty pink pedicure.

My name is Christi and I'm a turtle :) Thanks for posting. It's a great reminder to all of us turtles out there that while it may seem like it will take us longer to get there, in the end we will win the race.

I used to make a cake batter and eat it out of the bowl. I never had the intention of actually baking the cake; I just wanted the batter. I also did it with muffin mix. I know I always ran the risk of consuming raw eggs, not to mention just how bad it was for me overall, but I just didn't care. I couldn't imagine doing…

QOTD Monday "I never thought I would tell a stranger this, but... [something silly or embarrassing]" My response: I never thought I would tell a stranger this, but my black lab, Mindy Lu, is my baby, and "our song" is "Stuck Like Glue" by Sugarland. She gets excited when I sing it to her and we "dance" together.
