I kept mine open for a long time, but as time went on, I noticed that when I would have bad days, I would just not log them because I felt embarrassed, like I was failing the world. Of course this guilt coupled with my not keeping track of what I was ingesting was taking bad days to being bad weeks and eventually bad…

If I eat too soon after waking up, I feel sick to my stomach the rest of the day. If I eat too much (more than an egg and half a cup of greek yogurt) for breakfast, I feel sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. I'm sure for some (even a lot) of people it's great and all, but for me (and many others), it's far from…

Had a fantastic spinach salad with tomatoes and chicken and broccoli and all the goodies. I do love my salad.

This is a great video. Favorited it for later use. Did a modified version of this and boy am I feeling it.

Soda. I don't even like it that much, but if it's in the house, the next thing I know, I'm laying in bed with an empty 2 liter and a Big Red mustache.

Depends. Generally just peanut butter or regular butter and maple syrup (boysenberry syrup if I've been able to find it locally). Sometimes I like to top with mixed berries and some whipped cream. Then some times I just add a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup to the batter and eat the pancake plain (This is really nice…

Eh, personally I don't use these names because I'm trying "get away with something," and I have no problem splurging and eating all the delicious, greasy, salty delicacies when I want to. I enjoy turkey bacon and I enjoy banana pancakes.. I call it turkey bacon because on the occasions I eat it, I eat with my eggs for…

I got a litle too lax this week- very little exercise, eating out multiple times, eating pre-packaged instead of making my own, etc, and it really affected me in a negative way. I"ve been more lethargic this weekend, my stomach has been making really unsettling sounds, I'm extra grumpy. Just all around, I don't feel…

I tried to work on my temper today. When I got too stressed out or frustrated, I left the room for a couple of moments, and focused all my thought on steady breaths. It's something I really need to do more often. My constantly being on the edge of a stress overload isn't good for my family or me.

Hmm, I've of two minds with this. On one hand, I see no reason there can't be a few of the things he likes around such as the whole milk. There are things I enjoy (cucumbers, tomatoes) that my husband doesn't, and things he likes (mushrooms, nuts) that I don't, but I keep both on hand for snacks and such throughout the…

Well, it's my goal weight, so eventually it will be accurate.

I picked the weight I was maintaining when I was most active. Of course, even then I thought I was a fat, disgusting mess of a human being... luckily my outlook on life has brightened a bit since those days.

I'd like to be in a tight 10/loose 12 by summer, which will be the smallest I've been in about 7 years. My final goal would be around a size 6, but I'm not glued to that number, if I hit 8 and I feel good and I look good, and I jog for a bit without feeling like death, I will be satisfied, and on the other side, if I hit…

Alcohol and pizza were really my big shockers. I mean, I knew pizza wasn't good for me, and it had a lot of calories, but 350 calories per slice? I used to eat 3 or 4 slices, 2 or 3 breadsticks, a side of cheese, and generally some sort of soda or energy drink. I mean, I would feel super full and know I ate too much, and…

Does anyone have any good non-deep-fried eggroll recipes? especially one that has a good crispy factor for the wrap?

I am doing ok. I am definitely doing a lot better than I used to (little to no eating out, drastically reduced amounts of freezer pizza and mindless snacking throughout the day), but I definitely need to start getting better about my sodium intake. As someone who rarely adds additional salt to a meal, I always assumed my…

The stretching was really nice. It's easy to overlook the benefits and pleasure a good stretch everyday can give. I'm going to be trying to do this every morning.

I love DDR! That was *the game* for my circle of friends in high school...I still have the steps for "In the Navy" memorized (yet I can't remember where I put my keys...go figure) My husband and I have been shopping around online to find a set of nicer mats. (Always hated the ones that came with the game.)

This is a great thread. I am proud that I didn't eat the rest of my son's birthday cake that has been sitting there, looking at me all day.

Someone must be cutting onions near me... This is truly inspiring. I love the emotional honesty of it. It's hard. It's going to suck sometimes. But keep at it, and eventually, things will change. I love it. Absolutely love it. Also, congratulations on your success and your beautiful family.

This is perfect. You've really captured all the various stages. Keeping this bookmarked for future reminders that it won't happen overnight.

Wow, this was a lot more demanding than I expected. I did the first couple and thought "Eh, this isn't so bad," then by the end I was just trying to remember how close the sofa was behind me so I could just comfortably collapse after. It was strangely fun though, which is not something I say often regarding exercise. I…

My favorite pants are a pair of Danskin from Wal-Mart. As far as tops go, right now I generally use Old Navy's basic ribbed tanks and their basic fitted tees, but once I loose a little more weight (down a size), I'm going to pick up a few of the fitted workout tanks from Old Navy. They have a lot of cute varieties and…

I'm 5'6ish and most happy I've been with my body was when I active in high school around 140. I was still a bit pudgy, but my basic shape was satisfying enough, so I think around that same weight with an emphasis on more muscle definition would really make me very happy. I could probably go a bit lower (125-130ish) and…

Oooh, I like that. That's going to go on my never ending list of good quotes.

I might be completely wrong, but I've always heard that you should shoot for no more than 1% of your body weight per week. (200 lbs > 2 lbs/week. 150 lbs > 1.5 lbs/week etc) I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable can give you much better, more accurate, more thorough advice.

Oh good luck! Big kudos to people attempting and/or completing that! The commercials for that always scare me! Maybe one of these days....
