I also use veggie broth, I keep an opened carton in my fridge and use it anytime I'm sautéing in a pan. I believe the Happy Herbivore has a blog post about it as well :)

I haven't started planning yet but I've been using a couple of very helpful blogs for recipes and meal ideas, Oh She Glows has a lot to pick from and even has her recipes sorted by holiday :) I made her lentil loaf as my main course for Thanksgiving and it came out really well and enough to feed an army....

Thanks! The tray is a genius idea I also forgot about freezing water bottles (duh) I live in Texas so yeah it's already getting super hot even w my ice packs in my lunch bag.

Congrats! I hope to be at 60 lbs down by my 1 year too, you are proving it can be done

Mine too! I've only met 2 other people with the same Bday :)

You look greAt! Such a good figure :)

This is a great website o compare several brands and check if they are waterproof or not http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/

I have the Polar F6 and wear it in the pool all the time it works great, I know several polar models are waterproof.

Because I think everyone was sleeping when I posted Sunday, I'm reposting in case anyone has some ideas :)

I got my gym membership for $29 a month through my insurance, if you happen to have Blue Cross insurance it's a great deal to look into, it's called the Fitness Program. For the $29 a month I can go to any 24 hour fitness, Golds, and several locally owned gyms like Curves and Snap fitness

You and I sound like we have a similar story :) I had a similar background that somehow led me to being on here, good luck!

In case everyone else hasnt said it well enough, you look amazing! I love that you also wrote out what you did, it makes me feel like I'm on the right track since I'm doing similar things as you, Thank you so much for sharing and enjoy that hard earned degree and fabulous body :)

Look at Clean Eating Diet and also Clean Eating Magazine, she has a meal plan and shopping list you can get for free Or Tone It Up girls on youtube, facebook and their website offer alot of diet plan advice

I found the Pumpkin Pie Syrup at World Market, its made by Torani and its sugar free made with Splenda, I havent tried it in my Pumpkin flavored coffee I bought from Dunkin Donuts but I cant wait :)

You look fabulous!!! You have no reason to be embarrassed at all :)

Go to your settings and make sure you have the latest version of Droid software. Mine was also doing the same thing and I switched my keyboard setting to Swype for a little while (just a few hours) then back to regular keyboard and its worked alot better. BUT I did have a friend that had to do a factory reset on hers to…

Its also available for Android peeps too :) pretty neat app I just always forget to use it in the store

I met with a nutritionist last week and she suggested the following: Pre workout - a complex carb with a protein (at least 75 calories) so a piece of whole grain bread w a nut butter is a good example, eat this no more than 45 minutes prior to working out Post workout - a simple carb such as chocolate milk, or a…

Who thats a fabulous accomplishment right there! To get off all those meds has to be such a relief I bet you are feeling healthier every day congrats :)

This is so my group! and I love the name :) I've been at the same weight for over 3 weeks now and its getting frustrating, but I'm going to a dietitian tomorrow to see if she has any rocket science advice I havent thought of or found on here yet:laugh: :laugh:

World Market has Torani syrups that are great in coffee drinks and they have tons of flavors to pick from. Then depending on which milk product option you like FF Half n Half, Almond or Soy Milk or Organic Milk :) Those are my coffee mix staples

I'd say definitely go for thin crust, lots of veggies and the last time I 'splurged' on pizza I took one piece sliced it all to smaller pieces and put it on top of a big salad. That way I got alot more pizza taste for my calories. Do you happen to have a Papa Murphy's anywhere near you? They have really good De-Lite…

I have a Hamilton Beach Personal Blender and really like it, it holds at least 14 oz. My only complaint is about the blade being in the bottom of the cup...but hey it works great :) and its super cheap http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-51101B-Personal-Blender/dp/B0017XHSAE

Thanks that was a very interesting show to watch :)

I get myself a new pair of cute fashion earrings for every 5 lbs down, or a new nail polish (I get the cheap ones from Walgreens for $1.50) when I need a little help motivating myself to keep going.

Great info on this post, but I want to know how you found the little dancing Zumba chick on your signature??? Shes adorable :)
