I swear by Activia...I couldn't tell the difference though until I stopped eating it. It makes you more regular and less digestive issues if you have them. I don't think I ever realized I had them until I stopped eating Activia for a while, and the symptoms came back.

I didn't have the greatest day either...well, not the greatest week to be honest, and it's not going to get much better. I usually work out at my lunch break, but yesterday we had a lunch meeting at work and I woke up too late to be able to get my exercise in before work (after work is not an option as I have a fiance and…

I still have 10 pounds to go before I hit my driver's license weight. :ohwell: Congrats to you!

My dinners are only around 250-300 calories, and I have regular meals (3 oz. of protein, 1/4 cup of carb side, 1/2 cup or more of veggie). No need to limit yourself to rabbit food. :wink:

Baked salmon with honey glaze, pasta, and I haven't decided on the veggie yet. ;)

My birthday is tomorrow and my fiance is taking me out for dinner on Saturday, so I am pretty sure that I will have a fat day then. I haven't really thought about what I might order, but I know it will be something delicious and well deserved just as yours was!

I weigh myself every day, but don't get down on myself when I go up and down since I know that it is supposed to fluctuate. It's just a personal preference. I don't log it on MFP though until my weight goes below my last weigh in and stays there. I created a graph outside of MFP to track my daily weigh-ins there. My fiance…

Seahawks all the way! Oh, and the Skins, but they have a bye week this week, which is really too bad since they are the only one of my teams that are keeping my hopes up this season.

I went through that phase where nothing sounded at all good. I never got sick though, just mainly stuck to fruits, salads, eggs, and crackers. Meat and vegetables were repulsive to me.

Except that babies don't have dumb ideas!

Great NSV! I start on Monday. I have been testing it out this week though, but don't want to "officially" start until I can begin on a Monday (it's easier for me to track weeks that way since I generally don't get time to myself on the weekends). Looking forward to the day that I can say that I ran 45 minutes!

That is generally the pattern I use. I will eat close to my goal (either a little under or over) before any exercise "credit". It seems to be working :)

Don't be afraid of eating a variety of things with your meals. I generally eat meals with at least 3 dishes (protein, carb, and veggie), it is all about moderation. I too am only consuming 1,200 calories. For breakfast I usually only have about 200 calories of a protein, fat, and/or carb. I always stick to 3 oz. of…

I love The Biggest Loser for the Wii. It has various exercise routines from beginning to challenging and also there are challenges that stray from a "normal" workout, but almost make you forget you are working out just trying to finish the challenge in first place. Just be careful with the calories burned as they are way…

*Like*

This calculation actually shows only 2 pounds higher than my goal weight...I'll go with it :)

It's not that my morals are too high for that. I think when I first began this journey, I would say hell yes I would cheat to get the body I want in the long run, but now that I have change my lifestyle and am feeling healthier and better about myself, I would say definitely not. The reward of knowing what I am capable of…

My family absolutely loves this soup. It freezes very well so you could make it over the weekend and have for lunches during the week. Omit kielbasa for a vegetarian version, or substitute with another meat. Lentil Soup Ingredients 1/4 Cup Olive Oil 1 Medium Onion 2 Carrots (Peeled and Chopped) 2 Celery Stalks (Chopped)…

Pork chops with a peanut sauce over brown rice and a side salad.

I am 5'3" and my goal is 125...only 35ish pounds to go!

Homemade lentil soup and a green salad with lite italian dressing.

I just looked this up...sounds delicious! I will have to try this soon. Which flavors have you tried and how would you say it compares to real ice cream?

I will usually have: 2 egg whites (30 cals) w/ 2 oz. chopped turkey ham (60 cals) and .5 oz. of cheese melted on top (50 cals), and 1 small apple (55 cals), total damage = 195 cals. Or lately, I have been having: 5 whole wheat Ritz crackers (70 cals), 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese evenly spread on each cracker (35-50…

Very inspiring post, thank you everyone for the motivation, you all look wonderful! I'm 5'3", Highest Weight 191, MFP Staring Weight 174, Current Weight 164.5, Goal Weight 125 <-- We'll see how I feel once I get there :wink:

Did you win?

I have the same problem with every 10 pound increment. If I just keep plugging away, I eventually start to lose again. I am wondering if maybe adjusting calories is the answer since I have heard that for about every 10 that you lose, you should be adjusting your intake. ???

Non-Scale Victory.

Ditto!

3 ounces grilled pork chops (trimmed of fat, of course), 3 ounces baked baby reds with oregano/garlic/onion/salt/pepper, and .5 cup mixed veggies - pretty much the usual at my house :)

That is happening to me as well. I think that it is the change in diet and is something our bodies will eventually adjust to. Even on the days where I feel like I must have gained, I haven't, so now I am just waiting for my body to catch up. :)
