Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I did much better today!! :)

Honestly, I would LOVE to have a vegetable garden! I've wanted one since we moved in two years ago, but we live (somewhat) in town, so we have a small yard. And with a dog and 4 kids, even the sunflowers we had back there got trampled. So until we get a bigger yard, we can't do the vegetable garden. Although--are there any…

Thanks! I'll definitely check this out!

I do like crock pot meals (when I remember to thaw the meat ahead of time!). Sad thing is that I have a total of about 3 things I know how to make in it! :embarassed:

I had no idea about the frozen produce! Everybody always raves about fresh.

We are picky about a few things, but for the most part I try to buy whichever brand is cheapest, whether I have a coupon that makes it cheaper or the store brand (and sometimes I even like the store brand better!). We tend to rely on the quick meals like hamburger helper and mac & cheese (though I did just discover whole…

I try to limit myself to twice a week. The loss looks bigger. :)

Not silly! I think a lot of us were glad to get out of the "obese" category, and although to others it may sound strange, excited to just be "overweight". :) congrats!

Thanks for your help!

Do you have any recommendations for getting more water? It's hard enough to drink 6-8 glasses. I used to drink--maybe--one! What helps you?

Ew--that butter analogy is incredibly gross. Motivating, yes. But gross. :)

I thought MFP calculated it to my lifestyle/weight loss goals?

I believe it's trying to work your way down. If you go from eating (just as an example) 3,000 calories a day to 1,200 calories a day you're going to miserable and VERY hungry. Dropping your calorie intake at all will help you lose some, and as you lose weight you'll gradually eat less. Does that make sense?

It's just a few days (this time). A week or so I gained a couple of pounds but lost them again, and now they're back... as for measurements, I don't know what I'm doing, but they never seem to change! The best measurement I do is whether or not my belt fits--ha!

MFP has me set to 1200 net. I don't know that I would know what other amount is good...

How on Earth did ou lose so quickly? I must know!

I know I posted before, but I also had to mention these Breyers desserts--I really like the ice cream cookie sandwich ones--they're 160 calories which might sound like a lot for dessert, but if you budget your calories--ohhh they're sooo good! :)

haha I wish! I wanted somebody to read, so I thought I'd post with an intriguing title :)

Can't wait! :)

I LOVE these, but they're so high in calories and fat! I like eating the Charms blow pops! They give me the sweet flavor (that lasts for a while), and they're only 60 calories! Or sugar free jello with a little bit of whipped cream on the top--except they don't last as long!

On a day that you don't exercise, you should always eat all of your calories! It's okay to go over by a few. If you don't eat enough calories, your body will go into starvation mode and make you gain weight instead when you do eat. If you exercise, it is good to eat all of your calories, but if you're truly not hungry I…

From both advice I've received and from personal experience, it's best to weigh yourself once (2ce max) a week. As said by others, your weight can fluctuate by a pound or so each day, which can get frustrating. Not only that but when you weigh only 1-2 times a week, you see the bigger number (gives me a boost to see 2…

That's awesome! :)

Wow you look great!

If this had a "like button" I would "like it" :) This is so true!

I used to work at Wendy's, and I just couldn't figure out why people would order a triple meal (large size)...and then order a diet drink??? We used to call the triple the heart attack on a bun and the double the clogged artery. That reminds me--a co-worker and i were talking about constipation yesterday (not like you…

Thanks everyone! :)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is looking forward to this! Waiting to lose anything there just yet...

Anybody else have any thoughts/experience?

Wow you look great! Did you do 90 days straight? What did you do in addition to P90X (i.e. diet and exercise) to lose all the weight?
