I see people dressed all kinds of ways when I go to the gym which is usually around 5 am and nobody really cares. We are all there to work out and nothing more. If anyone gives you looks it might be because they're curious but will get used to your outfits over time. Don't let it stop you and get your workouts and don't…

I totally agree.

I've eaten at La Caretta recently and found the food I wanted to eat on their menu beforehand and logged each component separately which was close enough. MFP has a few items specific for La Caretta but not many but I figured that most mexican food is similar so I logged it that way. I also planned ahead of time and logged…

You can add me.

WOW! You look great. Good job.

Good job. Keep up the good work.

Does it really cost that much?? Holy cow!!

I used to swear by one coke zero a day but since have gone cold turkey and drink only unsweetened iced tea or water.

Don't be discouraged. Just gauge your weight loss by the way your clothes fit. :wink:

I echo what everyone else says and will add that my ex helped to run my business in the ground. I had to start completely over and was financially ruined. It took a long time to get over it and move on but I did it and I'm happy and a good job and have a new hubby that loves me and is good to me. You need to get a good…

Does pinterest have good recipes? I'm looking for recipes where I can sneak more veggies into our diets. :wink:

When you feel that way just eat something healthy and filling and chase it with lots of water so the after effects of the binge won't hit you so hard later.

Wow nice transformation!! Definitely an inspiration!

This is a great post. Anyone have good croc pot ideas?

I love Subway and eat there about 2 times a week. The one near work caters to those of us who are on foot and don't have long for lunch plus I can meet my hubby there and we don't feel like we are over doing it. I load up a 6" with tons of veggies but my splurge are the chips. :blush: My other great find is a local chain…

Oatmeal and I'm from the south so beans and whole grain rice. :wink:

This is fantastic. Thanks

9500 sounds like pure awesomeness and a good time was had by all. LOL

This is an interesting discussion and I used to believe genetics had a lot to do with my weight until I realized that I have the ability to change the bad habits I grew up with so that I can set a good example for my daughter. My body type is set by genetics but the amount of fat on my body does not.

I'm not an expert or anything but typically when losing weight, you will lose it all over and not specifically in one particular area like your thighs and or hips. There are exercises that you can do to help tone and firm those areas like squats but I don't think you can specifically lose in one area vs another....I wish…

Good advice. I'm trying to eat more veggies and found a neat place near work with a cheap salad bar and the crock pot is another awesome idea. I need to locate more recipes to get creative because I have a 5 year old to please at dinner time. :)

That's a good idea. I may start prepackaging oatmeal to bring to work because I like to control the amount of sugar and sodium in the foods I eat and that's a fantastic way to do it.

I do the same and workout during the week because the gym is literally across the street from work but on weekends, I rest/run errands/clean house but don't hit the gym and eat more than I do during the week. I may try to keep the same/similar eating habits on the weekends as I do during the week to see if I can maintain…

I agree with previous posters....it's cottage cheese and any kind of fruit but my favorite is cc with pineapple tidbits. OMG it's delicious!!!

I'm afraid to weigh myself and gauge my loss/gain by the way my clothes fit. I don't want to get obsessed with a scale and the fluctuations women face so that's how I do it. Every so often I will weigh myself to get a number though.

Great post. I'm a 40DD and currently looking for a good replacement sports bra. Thanks for the info.

My primary motivation for working out is to eat more food. :blush: The cardio benefits are great but I'm being honest. And I'm afraid to weigh myself because I sometimes binge on the weekends and late nights when I'm bored so the weight fluctuations would destroy my motivation to work out. I sometimes hide snacks in my…
