I drink a lot of Kool Aid at home with Kiddo, so I think I get in decent amounts but I'm trying my best to drink it straight today.

Yup, and the typical American's thirst reflex is so weak it is often mistaken as hungry... which could often explain that random eating we tend to do.

Great idea Lauren! Yesterday I drank no water. The day before that, no water. The day before that.... yeah. Today, I've had about 3 glasses. Just finished the 3rd actually. Going to refill now and grab a yogurt. I worked out and earned it!!! WOOHOO!!

I took topomax. I didn't like the side effects but I am SUPER sensitive to medication. It's GREAT for weight loss and getting rid of migraines or seizures :) You can do this woman!!!

Yes, I'm all over this thread this morning. GOTTA KEEP FOCUSED!!!! Is anyone else already thinking of bathing suit season next summer? It seems so far away but that is really what I'm focused on right now. My size is *snarl* "okay"... ish. But I need to get rid of the flabby parts!! I want no jiggle when I wiggle. And if I…

half way there!!!! YAY!!!

Also, my scar tissue from my c-section is throbbing in pain today. It's in my lower right abdomen. That doesn't make the prospect of working out any fun but I am GOING to do this. I don't wanna slap myself tonight! :laugh:

Which do you guys find more motivating?? A weight loss ticker that shows weight lost or weight left to go? I keep changing between the two.

I start off so strong but then fall back into bad habits by the last 3 weeks of the challenges. I've got to figure out how to make this a priority. I've got to get my commitment back. Today,…

I weigh the same as I did last year... which isn't a bad thing. I still have 25 lbs to go but I'm right at 50 lbs down. I've changed my eating habits to maintain that 50 lbs weight loss. Even if I never achieve the last 25, I'm proud of my continued maintenance.

maybe I'll remember to weigh in tomorrow...

158.8 today after 161 yesterday. What gives?? No idea but happy to see the change for the better. (And yes, I'm still in l:heart:ve!)

161.0 bah humbug

I forgot to weigh this morning. I'm in love :love: When I woke, all I could think about was texting him.

Anyone else exhausted today? :yawn:

Not sure if that is copyrighted / trademarked / or otherwise off limits legally. If the general replication is allowed, maybe we could have a "Congrats" or "WTG" button. Very useful for weight loss updates, diary updates, and exercise updates, among others.

Anyone brave it? I went to the 12:01am Walmart sale. I arrived at 7pm. First in line for the Barbie Powerwheels Jeep. Bought it at 12:01am. It was in my vehicle at 12:06am. And I was OUTTA THERE!!

Your entire "undercarriage" will be sore for the first (roughly) 3 classes. I've never ridden a horse but I'd say it's a similar pain to that. You can feel it in your bones. However-- I loved spin class. Don't worry about being out of shape. Go in and try your hardest but fall back into a manageable pace. Let the…

**** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT **** My Milkshake Man date emailed me last night. He wants to see me again. Busy schedules and holidays will dictate when. BUT HE WANTS TO SEE ME AGAIN!!! RECAP: He was my blind date I met on Sunday. We met for milkshakes. He took the time to catch the clues on my match.com profile and looked me…

Since I'm not on a "diet" but trying to learn to eat better, I manually set my daily calories to 1400 a day. I was too hungry at 1200. Everyone's body is different and some of us requiring higher (or some, lower) daily calories. How long have you been stuck? What do you mean by 'drastic calories cuts'? As in, what MFP…

Hot damn, I'm so thrilled with my weight loss so far! I made a small goal but I've already blow through it!! The first few weeks of getting back on track have always resulted in the most weight loss for me, and I expect it to slow down from here, but I'm so excited!! YAY! THIS IS MY MOTIVATION TO KEEP GOING!

Lula, glad the visit was "okay" and I understand the depression weight loss. I did that when I was 15. Nowadays, I gain when depressed. I'm glad the doc said you had room to spare on the weight loss; I think that relieves a little pressure. I hope you are able to get this under control. :flowerforyou: THE DATE UPDATE:…
