Ugh! I feel for you. I'm sorry you're going through this. At the end of the day, its your journey. You have to decide the best way to lose weight for yourself, and you have to decide what ultimate goal will make you happy. Maybe you can try to have a heart to heart with her and tell her how you're feeling. Maybe lay down…

I would portion it out and freeze it. I bake a lot and always end up with left overs. I have actually never thought about freezing them. I probably should because my son is lactose intolerant and can't have regular icing made with butter. I usually end up doing all the baking for family and friend events so I know he can…

Haha... My thighs still touch, but I know I'll feel a victory when I have collar bones. Same thing... Little things that make you realize how far you've come.

If you have a lot of weight to lose, its possible to not eat those calories back and still lose. But if you aren't seeing any results this way, its time to change it up. Dried fruits, granola, peanut butter, full fat dairy, Greek yogurts... All will increase your calories and not be too filling. If you add 2 tablespoons of…

My changes are a little backwards I think. Before I would live on coffee and diet coke all day and wouldn't eat until supper time. Then I would eat huge portions, and not stop eating until bed time. Telling myself its okay because I didn't eat all day long. Now I try to eat 5 meals a day, watch all my portions, and I still…

Peanut butter and bananas. I eat one or both every single day I think.

I'm starting out... On week 4 of c25k. And to be honest, I like running for a couple reasons...First is that it gives me an excuse to "get away" and listen to some music. But the thing I found out through doing it, is that it makes me feel like I can do other things. I have lost weight before and put it back on because…

Still waiting on your numbers ladies! I have to get them into Jen. So far, we're only caught up with her through last Monday. We're a week behind.

I don't know where you're going, but if there are a lot of different vendors, you may be able to find something. Baked potato with salsa maybe? Or a hamburger or hot dog without the bun? Drink lots of water, and just remember that it's one day, and you won't have fun if you're stressing over calories!

I'm heavier than that, even with 30 pounds lost, and I'm in week 3. It's doable. Just make sure you have good running shoes (they made all the difference for me) and do some good stretching before you start. Especially your shins and ankles. I sit and make the alphabet with my feet before I even start my stretching, and…

I eat all day long. Work days, I get up at 5, have coffee around 7, eat breakfast around 8, lunch at 12, have snack on the ride home around 3:30, dinner at 5, and a snack around 8 pm so I'm not starving the next morning. I follow about the same routine most days, except Sundays are tough for me. We usually have a big meal…

Kat, it was horrible! I must have done something wrong. I cooked it forever, and it just stayed mush! I didn't add the spices it called for, just my own blend of Italian seasoning. The taste was great but I couldn't get the texture right. I ate it with a spoon, because it was just pizza mush. I actually looked at 2…

I work in a hospital... No desk for me. But in my locker you will find oatmeal packets, water, breath mints, peanut butter crackers, a box of kashi strawberry fields cereal, a can of soup, 3 hershey kisses and splenda. I always keep a veggie steamer bag in the comunal freezer. And I always have a Luna bar in my purse.

Use the search function to search the forums for eating back exercise calories. There are different people out here who swear by different things, and you really have to do the research and figure out what works best for you.

Great job guys!! I've sent our totals to Jen through Saturday. Looks like I'm still missing some numbers for Sunday... once I get those in, they'll be up on the spread sheet... Looks like our newest member, Tiffany, is having some trouble with her back, and has been told not to exercise for now. :-( The rest of us will…

Hey guys, I'm assuming you all found the new board here. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/338493-ltl-week-7 Still waiting on a few totals so I can send them in and see how we ranked this week... I've completed the exercise and nutrition challenges every day this week, and I've been averaging about 45 minutes of…

All of those things can be made in a healthy way, and are very kid friendly... And for the record, I hate when people say pasta is unhealthy. Whole grain pasta with a veggie filled sauce is something I eat once or twice a week at least. Fits into my calories just fine, and my kids love it too... Such an easy way to get…

It is hard to make those longer stretches. I couldn't finish. I wasn't able to do it the second time around either. Trying it for the third time tomorrow and if I can complete it I will count it as day 1.

Sorry I haven't been super active on the board lately. I am calculating behind the scenes, though, and sending our totals to Jen. Sorry about last week. We didn't have any numbers up on the spread sheet all week because I was having some trouble with my internet, so now that I have that straightened out, all our totals are…

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It is hard when the people we care about don't seem to care about us the way they should... I think your profile picture is beautiful, and if your dad can't see your beauty, its a flaw in him. Not in you. If it were me, I probably would have ended that conversation differently...…

I really like hard candy. I get it at Walmart. It's reasonably priced. The tinted moisturizer is amazing. It doesn't look like a mask kwim? Just a little tint to even out your skin tone. The eye colors are fun. And their mascara is better than anything else I've tried at that price point. Their liquid eyeliner is the only…

I always thought it would be more expensive to eat healthy and that was one of my main excuses for being fat... But I have found that with some slight planning it really isn't more expensive. For example, my supper tonight will be grilled chicken, broccoli, and brown rice. To feed my family of 4, I'm using 1 pound if…

Still waiting to hear back from a couple of you with Monday's points. Jen talked wth all of us team captainsthis week. Some teams were calculating their points wrong. (Not us!) Remember, it's 10 points for every 20 minutes of exercise, plus 10 points for the exercise challenge and 5 points for the nutrition challenge.

I love it! Yoy really look fabulous. Like a whole new person.

Did everyone find our new challenge thread? If not, you can find it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/327625-ltl-week-5 Also, we have a new teammate!! I just messaged her with our info, so hopefully, she'll make her way over here. Her name is bearsfan2334 And I know we're all happy to have her here (Even though…

Found a link. These might be what you're looking for. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=68131&vid=1&pid=633126&scid=633126342

I have a pair of pants that I got from old navy a long time ago. They're capris and the bottoms flare out like you said. The waist is so weird. There's a seam where the waist is, and then this extra stretch if fabric over it. If you pull it up it would come up to your bra line. But if you fold it down it covers your butt.…

What about exercise videos? They can be relatively inexpensive, and you can find them even cheaper on ebay or amazon... You can easily make your own weights with water jugs. Also, I've heard that some cable providers have exercise channels. Mine doesn't, or at least I haven't found it yet. But yours might. Do you have a…

Jen's working on getting us a replacement, girls!! Hopefully we will have one soon. And, Jen please take care of yourself, and keep us posted on your progress!

I so know what its like to be on the go all the time. I have started buying Luna bars and I keep one in my purse at all times to replace a meal if I'm on the go. Can you eat in the car or stop at a drive thru even? I tried the fruit oatmeal at McDonald's today and it was great, for less than 300 calories. I wouldn't do it…
