good job!

Awesome. I did mine on google calendar!

I don't discuss it with people I'm not comfortable discussing it with, but to be honest, I'm a mouthy enough person that if someone decided to give me their two cents, I'd give them my two dollars if you catch my drift.

Oh, and button up shirts that don't need to be tailored from an XXL!

I've tried that before, but I have TMJ, so it isn't great for me to chew that much. I just try to eat slow/take breaks.

Spending money NOW to get healthy will save you loads of money compared with not getting healthy and when you're older having broken hips, high blood pressure, heart problems, and osteoporosis.

I'm looking forward to knit dresses.

I notice when I don't eat enough calories, I'm really hungry in the morning. I can't force myself to eat when I'm not hungry though, but if I'm hungry, I eat.

That I'm on this site. The thought of group weight loss (or group anything) has never been appealing to me, but community is important.

It varies. It depends on if I exercise and how much I exercise.

Yeah, I'm only trying to lose 2 sizes, so I hear ya.

Oooh dark magic. ..

I swear by monistat anti chafing cream. I buy several tubes in the spring to wear when I wear skirts and dresses.

I think sometimes when people lose weight and gain confidence, we think about what looks good relative to what used to look good or not look good, but not necessarily what is good for where we are now. Next summer I'm sure you will be all about the bikini.

Have you been doing your measurements?

Yet another posting that made me drop my jaw.

Bicep curls, tricep extensions, chest flys, up right rows, lateral raises. . . (google them or look on youtube)

I hear ya. I can only handle so many raw greens. I try to add them in wraps and other things other than salad.

The key is to use cold water/broth when you make it, and don't over stir.

Ate my veggies and was under my carbs and fat!

Yes, my friends are supportive and so is my husband.

Nope. And honestly, the only reason I track raw spinach is to show that I ate veggies (raw spinach is super low in calories).

Wow, 3 hours! I hope you are eating or drinking something in between to give you energy.

Oh geez, come on ladies, you're over analyzing as women are wont to do.

Wow, unfortunately that blog just makes me want to eat!!!

That's great. I have found it to be so much better since one of my real life friends is now doing it with me. (Nothing against my pals on here).

I worked out for 95 minutes and burned 889 calories. I'd say that's a good victory for this week.

Ok, so I'm not cooking with added oil, and I'm not really eating bread. I'm hoping this will keep my fat and carbs within my limits (which are generous limits to begin with). For instance, today I made a wrap w/ lettuce instead of with a wheat wrap.
