I think you need to alternate. That is what I am doing. They say that muscle confusion is the best thing to do so I go to the gym one day and do cardio and weights, then I might do p90x or Insanity the next, then I will take a day off, and maybe go for a run or walk the next.

I am the same way! I was 217 when I started this journey. I got down to 147 and my family said I was too thin. I am currently at 155 and am very happy where I am at. My only goal right now is to tone and continue to stay healthy. It is much more than a number, I am wearing a size 8 (I still have thighs :-)) but am very…

Special K Cracker Chips- 30 chips in 1 serving and they are awesome! Mini Babybel or laughing cow cheese 35-50 calories Flatbread crisps- 15 crackers for 110-130 calories baby carrots sugar snap peas unsweetened applesauce string cheese 1 medium banana is around 100 calories On a side note, all of the Special K cracker…

Graduated high school in 1989, I got pregnant halfway though my senior year but I think I must have been 150-160. At my highest I was 217 in Jan. 2010 and have lost 70 lb's. I am currently 147 and tried on my High School letter jacket, and it was too big :blushing:

They are my alltime favorite! I am a salt junky and these have just the right amount to satisfy my craving but not be too overpowering. I have found all the Special K crackers to be wonderful!

This ^^^^^^^ I go to the gym straight from work, so there will be remnants of makeup and a cute hairdo for about the 1st 15 minutes. I do, however, wear a bandana on my head. I sweat a great deal when I work out and it helps to keep the sweat out of my eyes.

My schedule looks kinda like this: 7:30 - 8 am Oatmeal & unsweetened applesause 10 (ish) Snack noon LUNCH 3-4 SNACK 7 (ISH) DINNER and sometimes I will have a snack before bed, but that doesn't happen often. Some days I feel like I am eaing constantly but I am eating healthy snacks and lots of vegies and am staying within…

I have all but completely cut out coffee from my diet, except for my treat on Sunday mornings. (Decaf) I Have found that real vanilla, a small amount of Hazelnut Soy Milk and some Pumpkin Pie Spice tastes amazing and is so worth the very few calories it has. Still much less than a normal "coffee house" style beverage.

Dito!!!!!!! Love the Mio's!

When I first started on the elliptical it totally killed me! I didn't last more than 10 minutes. I had to gradually build my self up to where I go from 45 min to an hour. Stick with it, It is a wonderful workout, it tones and tightens everything :bigsmile: Watch the crossramp, if you hit the quickstart button, the ramp…

This sounds wonderful, any idea of nutrition information?

Droid!

What you have accomplished takes such hard work and dedication! Way to go! You look amazing!

Ditto! After 60 lb's down, my boobs are all but gone! It is way to freaking expensive and my hubby says he doesn't care, so I will deal with it for now.......maybe someday I will win the lottery :ohwell:

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I know. And I keep trying to tell myself I can't stress about things I have no control over. But it is pretty freakin hard sometimes. Thanks you all for the encouraging words. I know it is even worse for a lot of other people out there and I can be blessed that I have a job at least…

We always keep bags of frozen shrimp from Costco. Many times I go straight to the gym after work and by the time I get home it's after 8 pm. So the other night it was shrimp, whole wheat pasta, canned diced tomatoes, a whole zucchini, onions, mushrooms, lots of garlic, and fresh baby spinach. Seasoned with Italian…

Eva Mendez- beautifully coloring and perfect curves!

Why is "common sense" not so common?

You got me there! I day dream about Brian McKnight! His new CD is amazing! This thread brings back many REALLY GOOD (or BAD ) memories........:devil: :blushing:

My ideal is an 8-10. I have just reached the 10 and am hoping for the 8 by the holidays. :drinker:

The new Kashi thin crust pizza's are awesome! And not bad for you either! :love:

That is SUPER CUTE!!!!!

THE FOUR ROOMS! ABSOLUTE CRAZINESS!

Congrats on your milestone! It is very motivating to see results like that and helps you to push even harder to reach your goal. I am in the same boat (for the second time). After 54 lb's down, all the new clothes I had to buy back in December are now too big. But I am not going shopping until that final goal is met! Great…

Eggplant Lasagna! :drinker:

Campbells-Select Harvest - Southwest-Style White Chicken Chili it was a little cold this morning and soup sounded good :tongue:

OK.... I'm going to add to this...... Shamar Moore with Brian McKnight singing in the background....Oh Lord..........deep breaths Trisha..........:blushing:

I just totally lost my train of thought at work at the mention of that man's name. He is my ultimate cheat fantasy!

I also have lost all 54 lb's without the use of a HRM. I have looked into getting one, went as far as pricing them out on numerous websites, reading reviews, and also reading posts here on MFP. But why try to fix something that is not broke! I am doing just fine with my slow but sure program and am very happy with the…

Ditto!!!!!!!!! OMG the things I can imagine that involve him!
