I somewhat know how you feel. I've lost 40lbs once before (unfortunately gained it all back), but like you I liked how I looked way better when I was overweight. Seeing the saggy skin and my sagging boobs made me think I looked worse. I may have looked worse under my clothes, but I felt better and I looked great with…

I would log them as cardio.

I use 96/4 ground beef. It is alot lower in calories and fat. It is a drier meat, but if you use it in a recipe with other ingredients then you don't even notice. You can try left over taco meat, spaghetti meat, and any other left over hamburger meat and try it on a bun with 2% cheese. It is quite yummy and you save money…

I know what you mean. Over 10 yrs ago, I was probably the healthiest I've been since I graduated high school. I was skinny in high school, but not healthy. I had just finished running a marathon 2 months before I went on vacation and I decided I was confident enough to wear a bikini ( I was 132 lbs). I had so many young…

You Rock! You might have a long journey, but we all do because once you get to your goal then you have to maintain it for the rest of your life. We all have a lifetime journey. You are doing fantastic. I also have a fitbit and it actually makes me want to work harder each and everyday to increase my activity. Keep it up…

I'm always freezing, but I think it is the ice water I drink all day. Someone commented on having thyroid issues and I have had hypothyroidism for the last 17 yrs and never had a problem with being cold and it is stable so I know my thyroid is not causing me to be cold. I'm going to continue to think that it is from cold…

Is there room for me? If so I would love to join this challenge. These next 3 months will be the hardest for me so I need a little extra motivation!

I gave up caffiene because I just couldn't drink just one every so often. I would get headaches for having no caffiene so when I quit, I quit for good. No more sodas or tea for me and I definitely don't have anymore headaches. I had a soda a couple weeks ago when I was feeling sorry for myself and it was the nastiest thing…

I just recieved my fitbit ultra for Christmas and this is the second day I have wore it and I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it. Anything that helps you stay active will be worth it. Good luck with your decision!

I'm sorry, but rude or not I will eat when I'm hungry no matter what anybody says. I would grab something to eat out of the fridge whether they liked it or not. End of story!

I lhate the yolk of the egg so I just eat the white and they are only around 15-18 calories per egg which means I can eat several of them without feeling guilty. Also you can microwave scrambled eggs. Instead of using butter, use fat free nonstick spray. I use one full egg with two egg whites. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I would like to join in!

Funny! lmbo!!! Bless your heart and I hope your sister will have a quick recovery.:flowerforyou:

I would love an invite to this December Challenge!

My doctor wouldn't prescribe them when I asked her about them. She said it was a sister drug to phen phen. I'm not willing to take the risk. I also have hypothyroidism and any diet drugs of any kind would totally mess me up. I hope when you stop taking them that the weight will not come back on. I've had too many friends…

WTG!!!

I did it! I lost 10.2 lbs and there are still 3 more weeks to Thanksgiving. I'm giving myself a pat on the back for a job well done!:bigsmile:

That is awesome! Keep it up.

That is awesome! I'm hoping for mine on my next weighin on Tuesday morning. :smile:

Another 3 lbs this week Total 7.6 lbs 2.4 lbs left to go. I'm pretty sure I will get there. :bigsmile:

You can find friends in your area by going to "Find Members" under Message Boards. You can possibly meet up to go to the gym or walk in the park. And I have always found out that week #2 is one of my hardest weeks to get through. Find other ways to take food off your mind like reading a book or go to the mall just to…

I haven't seen anyone elses updates this week, but I lost 4.6 lbs. I'm almost half way there. Yayyyy for me!:bigsmile:

I feel that way sometimes too, but I try to remember I'm buying for a whole family and the rest of the family can have "not so healthy" food whereas I have to have healthy food. It still is cheaper because we are not eating out as much and I eat leftovers. Yes I pay over $5 a pound for 96/4 hamburger meat, but I can get…

I'm definitely in! Need a boost in motivation and this would definitely get me started!

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 21 and now I'm getting ready to turn 37. I have always struggled with my weight, even when I thought I was skinny. I take 175mcg and I feel good at this level. If I don't take it for a few days, I can tell I get cranky and stay tired. Losing weight can be done, it just seems…

I personally don't like veggies. The only veggie I eat is corn. The majority of veggies make me vomit so there is no need to eat them if they come back up. And I haven't found a way to hide them in my foods yet so I don't notice them.

WOW is all I can say. You all look amazing! I think I'm going to have to take before and after pics. I just started this week and this is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

You look AWESOME! Thanks, I needed that!

SW-180.2 Week 1- 174.6 Week 2- 172.8 Week 3- 172.2 Week 4- xxx Total- 8.0lbs Not what I was expecting, but every little bit counts.

SW-180.2 Week 1- 174.6 Week 2- 172.8 Week 3- xxx Week 4- xxx Total- 7.4lbs I'm getting closer! Just 2.6lbs to go, so I think I will step it up this week and try to meet my goal on the next weigh-in. It's worth the try.
