What I like better about this is that it is real.. there is no conversion required... Calories, fat, fibre, protein.. those are real calculations and knowing what you should eat and how much is important, not just converting it into points for the rest of your life... I have lost weight on WW before and I know lots of…

You know those big trucks on the road carrying logs...somehow I can't drive behind them because I think that if something happens and logs get loose or something, they will somehow go straight off the back of the truck into my windshield.. they wouldn't roll side to side or anything involving gravity.. no, they would…

Alright.. it's a sign.. I never eat enough veggies and here comes a good recipe. Thanks for sharing. :)

I need to have this around to read sometimes...good reminder! Thanks.

Great quotes.. I need to read this daily I think... Thanks!

bump.. great thread!

On a day like this.. sun is shining in Halifax, going to sit on the waterfront after work, have a beer, maybe a beavertail as well..enjoy the beauty, the water, the friendly people...being Canadian feels pretty damned good, really! :) Lots more of this will be happening on Sunday as well as we celebrate this great country…

Hey.. I hear what you are saying and yes, you should be able to go to the gym and feel confident and just do your own thing.. well, that isn't always going to just happen.. so.. why not start going early in the morning or during quieter times. I see my trainer at 6 am and I know I get a better workout than I would if I saw…

Hey.. great stories, everyone. My highest was 285, and I am currently at 228.. almost 60 pounds gone!!! I have been fighting between 226-235 for about 6 months and have lost the same 10 pounds about 3 times...ALL in my head!!! I am finally on the downward swing again and my goal right now is 199.. I can't see past it and…

Hey... I hear ya. I've lost the same 10 pounds about 3 times in the last 6 months but finally am over the hurdle and am back on the downward swing.. you can do this.. you wrote the message and reached out.. that's an amazing start!!! Feel free to add if you'd like... keep moving forward and remember, it takes a while to…

Hey..depends on what kind of workout you do... HRM is best, clearly, but I have a trainer and I don't have one either.. I usually use Circuit Training if it is crazy busy and strength if I'm doing more weight type stuff... again, just depends.. I don't eat back my cals, so it doesn't matter too much to me, but investing in…

Hey.. you're now in ONEderland.. that's fantastic.. congrats.. that is my goal by the end of summer!!! YAY for you!

Notice how all of those things you listed involve other people.. nice mom, great wife... but you're worth it just on your own..by being you.. for me that was the tough thing.. always wanted to please others and put myself last (and I am not even a parent..lol), and when that happens, what you want, what you need, what…

Yeah, I've been there... I've lost and gained the same 10 pounds over the last few months and wasn't updating my status either because I liked seeing the larger number.. being honest with ourselves is so important. Kudos to you for laying it all out. You can do this!! Keep moving forward! :)

yum, thanks for sharing!

Hey.. totally been there (for the last 6 months I've been fighting the same 15 pounds)... for me it's like I was sabotaging myself after losing 50 as well.. it's like WOW I lost 50 pounds..got lots of compliments and was kind of tired...but, I've been on the steady loss track for almost 2 months again and it feels great..…

Cereal and milk is GROSS!! WRONG!!! Why would I want to eat yucky mushy food? If I want milk, I will drink milk (oh yeah, I don't like milk).. if I want cereal, I eat it. Yes, I am aware everyone thinks dry cereal is gross... but you're just all clearly wrong! LOL

I just started yoga last week at a studio and am loving it... I totally modify moves to suit me and am really getting a lot out of it.. good luck to you..interested to see what else people post since I only have a 30 day yoga pass and want to continue at home or somewhere when I'm done. :)

Thanks.. yum.

Hey Nate..thanks so much for putting yourself out there like this.. my question is re. any kind of vitamin/supplements I should be taking. I'm garbage at taking any kind of pills, but I figure I should be. I'm 34, no real health issues other than the whole being overweight bit... I should probably be taking a multivitamin,…

Hey there.. we're kind of at similar stages... I'm a wee bit older (okay, so I'm 34..lol), but I'm at about 236-238 right now, and NEED to see the 20s this month (again). I've been between 226-240 for the last 4 months and I'm so done with it. I have a trainer at the gym so I'm often there, and just started a one month…

Yum.

bump..thanks for sharing!

Both very cute.. top one looks more like a mom pic.. you're very smiley in it.. bottom one felt a bit more boyfriend-y to me. Probably more how you'd look at him.. those are my deep thoughts on the subject. LOL

Looks good.. thanks! :)

Hey.. I'm 33, 5'8" 230 and started somewhere around 275. I have been hovering around 230 give or take 5 pounds for ages and feeling like I'm never going to get below 225.. haha. My goal is somewhere around 160-170 but I really have no idea what any of that even looks or feels like. My primary goal right now is 199, baby!…

Dress #1.. just because it seems like we always hide in black and that print is hot! You look gorgeous in all of them but #1 just brings something extra... Love it!

bump

Yes please.. whoever makes them first.. do you deliver? LOL

Yum..and bump. *L*
