I would love to see some photos too. After 8 years I still have the nasty extra skin and stretchmarks. Both my girls weighed over 9 pounds so that probably didn't help me much. With clothes on it looks okay, but bikinis are definitly out of the question.

Almonds are great or any kind of nuts you like. Full of calories but good for you.

it's a toss-up between Adam Levine and Bradley Cooper for me.

Wow, I just lost my appetite...probably not a bad thing today:)

We had a bbq with some friends today. GRRR it started well with a veggie burger instead of a beef hamburger, but the chips got me. Looking back I wish I would have just measured them out and ate only those. I picked all day but at least it was fruit for the most part. Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.

I'm glad you're jumping right back in it, Kristy. I had another good day. It seems this challenge has been exactly what I needed. That chocolate hasn't stopped calling me but I certainly don't want to log it and feel like I failed.

Welcome and good luck. When my girls were little I would walk while they rode their bikes. It them becomes hard for mom to keep up with the kids.

Wow, what an amazing transformation. Congrats, you should be so proud!

Welcome and good luck meeting your goals.

Today was a little more difficult than the last two. I have a really large bag of M&Ms in my pantry that have been calling my name all day. I decided to not sit on the couch and just consume the entire bag, instead I measured out a serving. After I put them on my scale and saw what a serving looks like I decided to put…

I'd try fajitas and skip the tortillas or ask for corn tortillas

Redbox rents some Wii games. We rented a few before we bought them to be sure we liked them. I love Wii Just Dance 2. It's not a fitness game but certainly gives you a good workout and it's super fun.

Day two was a success for me. I went to Cosco and I must admit I was tempted by everthing. I kept control and only bought what I went for--no snacks on the way out even though the ice-cream looked delish. It's now 6 and I can safely say I didn't binge-thankfully I'm not a nightime snacker, my binges usually come in the…

Keep up the good work. You look amazing! What a big transformation you've already made.

Wow, You look FANTASTIC!! You're great motivation this morning as I wake up and start a new day.

I 'm in!! This sounds like exactly what I need.

I loved what you had to say also. My girls are an inspiration to me, too. They're 8 and 10 years old and compete in tennis with boys and girls older than them. I recently began taking tennis lessons so that I can play with them. I find it really difficult to keep up but I'm getting better. I can at least return a ball now.…

I noticed that it looks like you skip meals. I would try to avoid that, you don't want to slow your metabolism.

Hi there! I'm also 5'7. I just started using MFP a week ago. So far I have lost 3 pounds. My start weight was 162 and my goal is 142. I got down to 137 a few years back but couldn't maintain that weight.
