I would go with butter. It's real. Margarine's chemicals come from what? I personally love peanut butter and banana on 9 grain toast. It is a lot of calories but it is real food and it's satisfying... Good luck!

I like my tilapia blackened...garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and cayenne if you like spicy... Bake or saute' with a bit of oilve oil spray. It cooks really fast and is YUMMY!

I was diagnosed with PCOS 9 years ago but it has never caused stomach pain. My stomach pains have been infected gallbladder, infected pancreas and diverticulitus...Please go see a doctor!

Congratulations!!!

Any kind of spicy, salty chips and/or cheese popcorn. Lay's Flaming Hot Potato Chips won't last 2 hours in my house. SmartFood White Cheddar Popcorn...I love the stuff.

I always loved and excelled at Math & Science so I always wanted to be a doctor. In my highschool yearbook I'm quoted saying I wanted to be the team physician for the Chicago White Sox...well Organic Chemistry kicked my *kitten* and I changed my major from Biology to Finance. Now, I am a buyer and planner for retail…

A co-worker said "I really like you, you're so genuine." - That made my day because I always try to surround myself with genuine people and I'm glad people think of me that way! I say, just be who you are, it's too hard to be someone else!

IMSH...I LOVE that! IMSH I pretend I'm training for the Olympics or I'm in a music video (Zumba) or Dancing With The Stars. During Hot Hula Fitness I actually pretend I'm preforming in a Luau...I have a very active imagination and I'm IMSH a lot!!!

If I'm feeling really lazy i do a minimum of 30 minutes either a walk in my neighborhood or a biggest loser DVD. The max is 2 hours, usually back to back classes at the gym. I try to stick to 5 days a week...

I'm 299 and I eat 1800 a day. I eat most of my exercise calories too. I think 1800 is too low for me because when I eat more I seem to lose weight faster...

I tried Hot hula Fitness for the first time today and it was awesome!!! I LOVED t! This will definitely replace Zumba for a while. I think Hot Hula burns more calories than Zumba because it's so core and quad intensive. What a great new workout!

How can you say that is not a success? You've lost nearly one hundred pounds. You are AMAZING!!! Congratulations, be proud of all you hard work and focus... It's not easy and you did it! AND you are so handsome. OWN IT.

I'm black and I LOVE fried chicken and hot sauce!!! Seriously, it's deep and it's real. Try to get in my way and you can lose a finger. He he...this thread is funny.

This thread is perfect. Thai is my absolute favorite and we're going out to dinner tonight before we see Breaking Dawn:bigsmile: and I was wondering how I would manage this outing. Tofu and extra veggies it is!!! YUM!

Thank you all for sharing! I think I'm going give smoothies a try. This weekend I'll shop for one of the smoothie machines with the travel mug attached.

Are you drinking enough water? That's usually my problem. Are you able to take nap during the day? I feel ya, it could just be this time of year makes people exhausted... Good luck!

Charlie Brown - Coldplay Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO Promises Promises - Incubus White Blank Page - Mumford & Sons No Church In The Wild - JayZ and Kanye West I would list an Adele song but they are all favorites and I have to give her music a break for the rest of the year as I have been listening to her nonstop for the…

Ha! It's missing! "Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work." - William Arthur Ward

My favorite motivational quote is listed below as part of my signature. It keeps me going everyday. My favorite part - "Do more than dream: work." I have to remind myself everyday that it is going to take hard work to get the body I want and all of the hard work will make my dreams come true!

Ha Ha! I was feeling sad that I don't have a creeper...Thanks for making me laugh! This would be great for the "I will know I'm thin when..." thread. I will know I'm thin when I HAVE A CREEPER!!! :)

I think you can enjoy everything in moderation. But it still requires you to make healthy choices. When I work late I still stop at McDonald's occassionally. I order the grilled chicken sandwhich with no cheese and no mayo, it's only 300 calories! I can order small fries for 230 calories!!! I don't feel deprived and I've…

You look AMAZING! Congratulations!!!

All those things that we hate about ourselves stretch marks, freckles, moles, dimples, hair texture, etc., those are the very things that make us beautiful and special. Scars especially. Scars tell a story, every guy I've dated has had a scar somewhere on their body and when you find it it usually leads to a very…

Congratulations! You look AMAZING!!!

You look fantastic but If you're interested in makeup look up pixiwoo on YouTube. They have great makeup tutorials...

95% of the time I think I'm smokin hot. Maybe I'm overconfident or dillusional, but I've never had self esteem issues. I think that's probably why my weight got so out of control, I love myself no matter what. It's good and bad, I guess. I work in the fashion industry where there's a lot of pressure to be thin...I love…
