Wow - I am soooo jealous!! That is a huge weight loss for one week - what's your secret?? I seem to be at 228 and then step on the scale and its 230 then 229 then 228 then 231...... UGH!! I do admit I have a very unreliable scale and have a big post-it on the bathroom mirror stating "DO NOT MOVE MY SCALE" because one move…

I only use Secret and only use unscented because of skin sensitivity.

Thanks. My husband uses agave and loves it!!

You are a "Thinspiration"!!!!! You are awesome!!!

Maybe put a snack bag of a serving of almonds or cereal or snack in the cup holder in your car so you have something before you get in the house. Maybe it will curb your hunger with one serving size before opening up that fridge or cupboard and see all the temptations.

Weigh in today............... I stayed the same! I noticed over the past week that after dinner I am usually having 2 cups of coffee and with that I will have the munchies. I've been snacking alot after dinner and since I do my exercise in the late afternoon, I think I feel like well..... I have those extra calories left.…

Yummy cookies! Made them today - as a previous poster mentioned they are spongy but excellent with a cup of coffee or tea. I think the next batch I will add nuts.

I think it depends on your amount of weight loss and how much toning you do along the way. I dropped quite a bit of weight and as I say.......................... When I began this journey, I was a 44D and now I'm a 34 Long. Each person is different and I'm so much happier to have my health. I am hoping that over time they…

What a handsome boy!!!!!!!!!! What's his name?

I've never tried mixing the two but I make a turkey chili recipe and it has a lot of spice. I even like it and I think ketchup is spicy. The combo really gives the turkey lots of flavor (I use 93/7). It seems like it's a lot of heat but it really isn't. Turkey Chili 2 1/2 lbs. ground turkey (93/7) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 green…

Thank you!! It's amazing what can happen when you actually listen to your doctor. He told me I would have to lose weight in order to stop feeling like a human pin cushion (testing 6x a day and insulin 4x a day). So, I changed my life. I will always be a diabetic but my doc said at my last appointment that I am no longer…

I donated most items and I also consigned some as well. When consigning, I was able to build up an account so I could buy clothes at smaller sizes during my weight loss journey.

Congratulations - what an accomplishment!

Congratulations on making the decision to make a change! My high weight was 347 pounds and I can tell you, you can do this! So today is day 2 and you are doing great - this forum will be tremendously helpful to you!

You look great!! Look how much taller and more confident you are standing in the last photo as compared to the first photo? Amazing job!

I found this in another post and thought it fitting........... Don't Quit When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, And you feel like the biggest failure in town. When you want to give up just because you gave in, and forget all about being healthy and thin. So What! You went over your points a bit, It's your…

OMG ~ I have a crazy way to make meatloaf thanks to my mother's recipe. I mix the ground meat with egg and breadcrumbs which is pretty basic. I then form it into a meatloaf shape in a pan that is slightly larger so there is room around the meatloaf. I form like an oblong cavity within the meatloaf and put in pieces of lo…

You are doing so well~ I know it is hard but you are already on the path to more healthy habits! keep up the good work!

Farmer's market for fresh fruit & veggies is key. We are always taking an apple, peach or some other fruit with us in the car going from here to there. I make my own granola and we put that in snack size bags to take on the go. (Let me know if you want the recipe - it's simple and makes a bunch and you can customize as you…

My meatball recipe - Trader Joe's Party size meatballs.

None of those choices are great! I drink flavored seltzer water or home brewed iced tea. I gave up soda over a year ago - drank alot of diet pepsi ---- No more and I don't miss it!

Get out of the house!! Get active, join a gym or train for a 5K. Set a goal for yourself. The same thing happens to me when my daughter goes to school. Here I am all by myself and need to fill my day without being in the kitchen snacking. You will do fine!

I love this!!!

Very very funny!!!

My upper arms - I can wear sleeveless for the first time. My thighs - still need work but love that my inner thighs don't rub together. My neck - losing the double chin but can now wear an 18" necklace. My collarbone - hey, where have you been all my life? My wrists - I can wear fashion bracelets and watches. (No, it's not…

Wow you look amazing but better yet, can you see how much more confident you are standing in the second photo?

Sodium is important to me without having high blood pressure. For me, it's water retention. I also have changed the way I eat out or take out. I will almost always look at the nutrition facts online BEFORE I choose the restaurant or ask for a pamphlet before I order. Because it's on the "healthy" menu, don't assume it's…
