I love me a good nugget!!! Right now though I could go for the chicken strips from Arby's... with cheese sauce. That's right, I said it... Cheese sauce. Mmm... Processed meat and cheese product...

Thanks for sharing!!! I have heard that the texture is different when you don't add tahini... but it sounds so good, and easy I will have to give it a shot! :)

Great post! Thanks! And congratulations!!

My Staples: Wheat Pasta Red Kidney Beans Baby Spinach Ground Turkey Laughing Cow Garlic & Herb wedges (great on crackers or as a sandwich spread Kashi Go Lean Crunch Yogurt Lara and or Luna bars Good luck!

I don't count the regular daily stuff (cooking, light cleaning, etc)... but when I have a day of deep cleaning, organizing or furniture moving, I count that because it is out of the norm. That doesn't make me lazy or a cheat. I exercise almost everyday, and sometimes those days of cleaning wipe me out even more. If people…

I hardly ever drink soda UNLESS I am mixing it with Captain Morgan. Capt. & Diet is pretty much my favorite drink. But without that, I don't really like soda that much.

I am 5'5" and started at about the same as you!! My current profile pic is me at about 168, and providing I can get the photo link below to work... that was me at my starting and then in the low 170s. Great job so far!! Keep up the good work!

I tried South Beach, and it actually made me really sick in the first few days (My sister had the same issue cutting carbs... must be in our genes). But people tell me they have had great results from Atkins. At the same time, they have also said it was hard to stick to, they're body reacts to food differently (not in a…

MAYO!!! Globby grossness. And raw onions. If either of these end up on something when I ask specifically for them not to be, I go all Hulk! "You won't like me when I'm Hungry!"

I buy egg beaters because I think they last longer (and I am terrible about letting food go bad). For cooking and stuff, I think they work just fine. I also eat them scrambled or as an omelet. If you cook them as "eggs" I don't find them as flavorful, and I always feel like they are a little "runny" but they taste fine and…

I get them from time to time. They taste good, but I don't find them very filling. I usually get the egg and cheese on an english instead. more Cals (320) but more filling too.

The silver FT4 is on Amazon right now for $50! Just ordered one... I have heard good things...

Thanks All!!! I am going to do it! I do have small wrists so it may be a little big, but I will make it work. I can sacrifice a little bit of comfort for the price!

I have a bad experience every time I go there (Various reasons). Ugh. BOB is an A$*.

I have heard it is good for a lot of things. I don't know if it really helps weight loss or anything, BUT I used to drink a tablespoon once a day. My favorite way to have it was in this Ginger Tea I got from Trader Joes... with a little Honey. It was like drinking warm apple cider. Yum!!

Woohoo!!! Congrats! You look great!

That's awesome! Congrats!

This recipe looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing!

I try to walk everyday (pretty fast for 30 min), and I do DVDs at home. When the weather is good, I walk A LOT more!! Food-wise, I have just trying to make better choices. I eat out alot, so it was a matter of not ordering French Fries and Burgers :) Happy New Year!!!

Thanks All!!!

You can do it!!! I started trying to lose weight at the beginning of 2011, and I have lost about 85 lbs! I have another 35 to go. You definitely don't need surgery. Just start off by making little changes, and progressively add more. I don't want to advocate for non-healthy eating, but I am certainly not the healthiest…

Thank you!

That is awesome! You look amazing! Congrats!

So... I have not read through any of the responses... just a disclaimer. I have a kitty. He is indoor (he has to be... he is blind as a bat!!!) We considered De-clawing him because he accidentally put a claw through our bunnies ear... BUT ultimately we opted not to. I cannot speak to the morality or humanity of De-clawing,…

I tend to store the most fat in my lower stomach as well. As others mentioned above, it doesn't sound like there is anything you can do to target that area, BUT I have noticed that as the weight comes off, it gets better. So my best advice from experience is, give it time. Even if that is the last place we lose the weight…

I do!!! I mean, people can walk at their own pace, and that is cool. But if you know I am behind you, and you see me walking at a fast pace every day, can you just move a foot or two to the right!?? Jeesh.

Where I work, we cannot drink anything but water at our desks, which is nice. I grab 2 20 oz. cups of water in the morning. then have 8 oz with lunch, then 2 20 oz. cups after lunch, and 1-2 20 oz. cups in the afternoon. Then I have at least 16 oz more when I get home. (Total = 124-144 oz a day). The more I drink, the…

I would love some support to get through ripped in 30. I have been doing it for 3 days... SO SORE!!! Watching week 2 right now to see what I am in for. I am scared... BUT took my measurements and determined to finish if it kills me!

I am in!!! I have about 30-35 pounds to reach my goal, which I hope to do by summer. Perfect!!
