Fruit: Blackberries Veggie: probably have to be carrots. I would say lettuce but it just doesn't work without at least some tomatoes to go with it.

Sometimes you may not "feel" the difference but it is there... Since you didn't measure it may be hard to know for sure. I agree with some of the people above that you need to eat back some of your exercise cals. Your body may be fighting you because you aren't eating enough since you are exercising. Also... are you…

It is understandable that you are frustrated. I saw in your main profile that because of school/work/etc. that you have to eat out alot... I do too... I recommend TOTALLY staying away from sonic... they are horrible. I will sometime treat myself to a junior breakfast burrito for breakfast but the cals are so high and it…

my hubby is actually the one that does all the cooking... I need to learn to start doing some of it. :-) Cooking together is all and well if you don't have kids but throw a few little ones in the mix and that "romantic" cooking tends to fall to the waste side at least for us. I would rather be "romantic" when everyone else…

Yes... especially my hubby... He says I am "driving him nuts with 'my weight loss' thing". oh well... in one year, I will be looking hot and I won't care how much I annoyed him! I think the main reason it annoys him is because he doesn't think that this is something I am going to stick with. He thinks it is just a "phase".…

NSV is a "non scale victory"... in other words, anything that makes you excited/happy that doesn't have to do with the number you see on the scale going up or down.

THAT IS TOO FUNNY! Love it and I just might have to use that sometime!!!

hahaha! well, focus on the positives... they called you "eye candy". You knew you didn't look your best or you wouldn't have made a change. Focus on the fact that now women think you are so much fun to look at that they talk about you. I would say it is a major NSV. :-) Blessings!

hahaha.... nope, I think you are okay.

I am almost done with the 30 ds and I DID take measurements... I am so glad I did because when the scale only moves 1 lb in the week, it really helps to keep me motivated. I have lost over 20 inches off my body doing the 30ds. I have skipped some days here and there. Technically it has been 30 days but with the days that I…

oh... btw... the challenge is accepted. No matter how many laughs I get...

hahaha! I laugh that this is the challenge because just last night my hubby was laughing at me for randomly doing sumo squat jumps in the middle of the kitchen. You know the ballet plie and then jumping up... from 30 ds. I said, you are just gonna have to get used to the fact that I am not your sedentary wife anymore. His…

I like to look cute in my workout clothes.... I started at 231 and a size XXL and got my workout clothes at Target. Of course, they didn't look all that "cute" on in a size XXL but as I am losing I am starting to look cuter and cuter in them. When I hit 200 lbs (which I am 10 lbs away) I plan to go to ****'s sporting goods…

um.... Jensen Ackles... I so enjoy watching him in Supernatural... he is dreamy!

Awesome progress!!! Keep up the great work!

hypothyroid here... If I go over my calories at all or if I don't exercise, I gain. I want to see a new doc because I don't really like the one I am seeing. I would love to have some more friends with the same issues, so feel free to add me. We can do this!!!

agreed!!!! take your measurements! it is so fun to watch the fat just melt away and it helps on those weeks that the scale doesn't move! You will be sad if you don't measure! I am so glad I did!

same here... It holds me more accountable for everything I do... or not do... I like to weigh in daily.

That happened to me too... I was losing and then became pregnant. I just recently had our 4th and I could not imagine my life without him. It may not have been your plan, but God is always in control. He will provide what you need. It is okay to still exercise while pregnant as long as you were doing it before the…

Okay, it is time for you to tell her that you have allowed her to bully you but you will NOT allow her to bully your daughter! Do not let your daughter grow up thinking that it is okay for ANYONE... even family to talk about her this way. It bothers me SO MUCH when people, expecially those that supposedly love you, bully…

8: nice job on the 61 lbs... what an achievement! Keep up the good work!!!

Do you have any back issues also? I thought I had the same foot thing, Plantar faciaits, in fact, I had a doctor tell me it was that... but turns out my foot pain was caused by a nerve being pinched in my back. Just wanted to throw that out there because I was SHOCKED it was being caused by my back. in regards to foot if…

I think anything by Jillian Micheals is worth it... she gets results if you put in the effort. Gonna try this one next. I do the 30 day shred right now. I have lost almost 17 lbs and over 18 inches in 3 1/2 weeks. Good Luck!

sadly, yes... and it DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! Expecially since he eats whatever he wants and losing weight! I can't wait for the day when I weigh less then him. At this rate that I am going, it should be sometime next month! whoop whoop, can't wait!

You look AWESOME!!!!!

I use the 30 day shred and have lost a TON of inches... like over 18! .... and about 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks. it gives a great cardio and strength training. It was only 9 bucks at Target... Highly recommended!

This is a GREAT site for keeping track of what you eat and your exercise... you will love it! I am addicted! Also from the Lone star state.... feel free to add me if you want to add some friends.

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHA... :laugh:

also: RYAN REYNOLDS... total hottie!

AGREED!
