After 10 pounds I noticed that I could drop back down one size in my jeans!!

Sometimes I wear one to bed... but I ALWAYS wear one during the day. And I always wear a good exercise bra! I disagree with some who say if they will sag, they will no matter what.... I just turned 40 and mine are still perky. I think it's because I always wear a bra.

Don't give up!!! It's really tough to get back into the swing of things. I used to be a daily gym rat... 2-3 hours a day. I understand!! Just keep at it. Treat every day as a new start.

If I get a snack for myself I will get a mini popcorn (the kid size) with no extra butter ... I always get a diet coke or a water to drink. Usually I just grab a few handfuls of the kid's popcorn or sneak a bite of their pretzel, depending on what they get.

I have some but haven't tried it yet... I'm guessing it's ready to drink straight up! Hope it's yummy

Well I don't live with one but my mother will continually send home cookies, cupcakes, etc with my kids... when she knows I'm trying to lose weight and those foods are my weakness!!

I got lucky and found a kickboxing class that allowed us to use the gloves, pads and it was a great workout. Some of the clubs have setups like that where you don't actually have to get in the ring and fight people. It was an amazing workout and I loved it. All the jump roping and ab work was fantastic!! I would totally…

AHH yes!!! That is so very true... I get that feeling whenever I see my ex- Eddie. Trouble with him is he can't decide what he wants, which leaves me in a confused state most of the time. HAHA

5'3" about 153 lbs... i am in a size 8 jeans, with either M or L top currently... 5 years ago my smallest was 114 lbs in a size 2, S top

Hi... personally I find Lexapro (or Citalopram in generic) to be the one that messes with my weight the least.

Mine is at 1200... which is easy to reach on most days!

Skinny Girl Margaritas!!

Good question... I'm not sure really. I do know pickles are YUMMY!! :bigsmile: I think in a moderate amount they are just fine....

Fantastic!!!! I am hoping for similar good news when I hit the mall tomorrow... looking for one size smaller in my jeans. I hope they will fit!!

Ewww... yes I agree cottage cheese is disgusting! I also find anything in the "bean" family to be VILE!!! I can't even smell them...

I kicked my diet soda habit by swapping to Monster Engery Zero or Lo Carb... I guarantee it's not at better for me but it doesn't give me a stomach ache like the soda did. All in all I'm definately addicted to caffiene... how to break that habit is beyond me at this point!!

I have to CC or will be off track in no time!! I love this site for keeping track... makes it so much easier ... Good luck!

I limit myself to one cheat day per week, if that ... It seems to work for me to not feel like I can "never" eat the cheat foods again. Since I know I have my allowed cheat days, I don't stress over missing out on sweets or higher calorie foods as much. Hope that helps!

take your measurements and start tracking them... if you are getting smaller, you're doing something right!!

thanks everyone for your answers!!! we just got back from a week long vacation... that seemed to help a lot. i'm trying really hard not to let anything "get to me"! :)

hmm good question.... thinking back to 5 years ago when I was skinny and working out all the time. I had trained myself not to reach for food for comfort. Instead, I would go out for a long walk in the neighborhood....

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling bad... I can definitely relate to your depression and struggles with getting going. Hopefully counseling will help out... I tried it and it was good to get me out of the worst of my depression. It's tough when you know you've done it before but you will get through it!! Things will get…

I log all my stuff right away too!! I can also do it from my BlackBerry.... not sure which other phones have the app besides iphone and BB...

Just a note: muscle does not "weigh more" than fat... a pound is a pound. The difference is that muscle takes up less physical space than fat does. So as an example, two woman who each weigh 125 lbs can be drastically different in physical size, depending on their body fat percentage.
