Feel free to add me! Looking for like-minded friends to keep the motivation up. I'm in my 40s, have a toddler, need to lose 20lbs (to start, baby steps).

I don't log them only because I consider them freebies... they also probably make up for the less than accurate food calories. I only log if I break a sweat (yardwork) or purposly excercised (treadmill).

Sigh... Eric Dane... sigh....

Well done! You look so much happier in your 'after' pic too!

Wow! You look fabulous!

I dealt with that when I started on here. Same thing, SO didn't want to do anything or change his habits. So I set a good example. Challenged myself. When he noticed the hard work that I was putting in and the weight that I was dropping he slowly got interested. Now, he's on the elliptical every morning and watching what…

her: julia siles him: not too sure...

Make sure to buy the low fat or 0%. Otherwise the fat content can be crazy... I go with cereal. Shreddies, Cherrios, Mini-wheats. Use milk but don't drink it at the end to save a couple cals. Egg whites are a good option like mentioned. Add whatever veggies and an 30g of cheese and your good to go! Oh, I also love…

Tall girls UNITE!!! I'm 6'2"... have about 15lbs more to lose (lost about 20lbs so far). Feel free to add me if you like... :o) ***My reply to the overused, unimaginary, annoying volleyball/basketball question is "No, do you golf cuz your short?". Shuts them up every time!!! :o)

I work out at home out of sheer convenience. I wasn't too good at doing yoga at home but since I bought an elliptical I've been on it all the time! Maybe try writing out a pros and cons list and see what adds up.

Add me if you want! I'm grew up in Penticton, BC but live in Victoria, BC now.

I live in Victoria!

My fav is the baked potato soup! Yum! The Black Bean Brownies are awesome too... I make mine in little muffin tins so they turn out like those 2 bit brownies you can buy at the store, I add a couple chocolate chips to each one! I think there only 50 cals a pop too...!

Haha... that's what I was thinking... I would be so pissed if someone said that to me... He's obviously self centered and an @$$hole. Jerk...

Yup, I need to keep honest with myself. I am still going to endulge but I am going to prepare myself for the results and the numbers. I also said that I will cook Christmas dinner so I can control what I make and what goes in it (thank you Skinnytaste.com!)

Way to go! you look amazing and so much happier and younger! Great job!

Wow!!!! Way to go! Very motivating!

My mom always told me "starve a fever, feed a cold". You need nutrients to fight off the bugs when you have a cold. Eat healthy and drink lots of fluids (tea is a good option)... get your rest too, sleep when you feel tired but still get your exercise and stay active.

I eat Liberte 0%MF. I usually buy vanilla and mix it in with my smoothies but the strawberry and blueberry ones are great too. I like the Liberte because it's fat free and greek yogurt usually has a higher fat content. I agree with all the fruit, granola and nut replies, it's yummy with all of the above.

Rubbermaid containers for my Christmas baking...

Totally agree, I'm a sucker for cupcakes!

I love this! This doesn't have anything to do wit hweight loss but I have a similar story... I have a red die (singular of dice?) that my boyfriend brought home for me from Vegas before we were together. I have had it in the same jacket pocket since then... 3 years ago! I take it out once and a while and reflect on us, I…

That's incredible! Way to go! Such an inspiration...!

I buy my jeans and pants from longtallsally.com and I live in Canada. Great site!

One of my go-to quick foods is an apple cut into pieces with peanut butter smeared all over them... YUMMY!

Never! You have to ask yourself who are you doing this for... you or him?

A friend in highschool once nicknamed me Stretch. She still calls me that to this day and that was over 10 years ago. I hate Amazon! I also hate it when people ask if I play basketball...
