Thanks guys! Seriously, it's this encouragement and positive reinforcement that keeps my tuchus in gear everyday!

Ugh, yeah I'm feeling that right now. I hung my favorite pair of skinny jeans in front of my scale so I have to look at them all the time! I keep telling myself "soon! Soon!"

I'm right around 5'3" and my UGW is 107. That's what I was in college, so after a baby that might be wishful thinking. I have my favorite pair of Joe's Jeans hanging in front of my scale at the moment as motivation. They're a 26 waist (size 2) and I think I'll have to get to 113 to fit in the comfortably. If I can do that,…

I pick them up for lunch occasionally if I don't feel like packing lunch before work. They're super-high in sodium, though, so watch your intake for the rest of the day! There was a time in college where I would buy them on sale and eat them for lunch and dinner everyday... I was super skinny!

Congrats! As a Type 1 Diabetic (who will be on insulin for the rest of my life no matter what) I really admire it when Type 2 Diabetics get to work and lose weight in order to reverse their need for insulin. I know that I would do pretty much anything to not have to take insulin and it always miffs me when I meet a Type 2…

I'm trying to lose all my baby weight, so my goal will be putting on my old jeans!!! :) I think my ultimate reward will be a really nice dinner out and allow myself to eat all my "forbidden" foods... And maybe a new bikini or two :)

You look amazing! Keep up the great work!!

Same with me! I weigh myself multiple times a day, but I only record my first of the day (aka right after I've woken up)
-
I'm in the same boat as you. Later in the day I've been feeling REALLY sick! I'm not sure, but I'm thinking it might be my body eliminating all the crap I've been eating for years...? By the time dinner comes along I don't even feel like eating, but I force myself to eat at least some soup. Hopefully tonight my salad will…

Thanks, ladies! I live in Shanghai so it's hard for me to do classes or get all the exercise DVDs that people have been recommending. I've also been thinking about ordering Zumba DVDs and then having my mom ship them over. Either that or see if my fiance can get one of the illegal DVD guys to find it and burn it, lol.

Ugh, I know the feeling! We're going to brunch today at a southern restaurant here in Shanghai. It's one of my favorites and I know everyone will order Chicken and Waffles or Biscuits and Gravy, while I beg them to prepare an egg-white omlette. Sometimes you need to go out and have fun with your friends and just practice…

I make "Sundays" my cheat days. On Sundays we usually go out to brunch with our friends so I'll allow myself to eat something that I normally wouldn't (like eggs benedict, with the sauce on the side!) and a mimosa or Kir. It doesn't really make me go over THAT much in my calorie count, then again I've only been dieting for…

I would go with what works for you and how you feel. I have a screwed up metabolism from years of abuse (I had an ED when I was younger) so my calorie count is lower than 1200/day (I spoke with my doctor about this before I started). I think if you're consistently losing weight and you're not starving all the time, then…

Similar situation, but not to the same degree, however. My fiance gained some "sympathy" weight when I was pregnant and now needs to lose about 15-20lbs as well. I decided that I was going to stop letting his habits control mine (he loves to order in take out for dinner, doesn't eat dinner until 9PM, etc) and I feel so…

I quit 6 weeks ago, and I'm telling you, cold turkey is the way to go. Besides pregnancy (when I also gave it up CT), I've tried the patch, the gum, the inhaler, hypnosis, acupuncture... One day, I woke up and decided I wasn't going to smoke ever again. It's been REALLY, REALLY hard, but I've been doing a great job and the…

I'll join! I have NO flexibility whatsoever and have always wanted to have at least a little :)
