I am a day late but my NSV is... I went shopping in my own closet again today (for the 2nd time). I also bought bras today and was down a band size. They last time I tried to go bra shopping I went to a different store and was trying to just replace the bra that I was wearing from that store. They had since stopped selling…

How many people count going up only? Is that how everyone else is doing it?

416 stairs today!

So I really want to do the stair challenge but I haven't really started yet. I climbed two flights of stairs today but that is it. I am so far behind. I need to climb 15 flights every day for the next 4 days. I need some support and easy access to a flight of stairs. I work on the 1st floor and I live in a 1 story house. I…

great job:flowerforyou:

Down to 276.6 which is 2.2 lbs down from the week before. I already logged it into the spreadsheet. I should be in bed because I have to go take my comprehensive exam for grad school in the morning. Hubby is sick and didn't even want dinner tonight, just went straight to bed. :( Good night all!

Down 2.2 lbs this week. I am totally going to try to do the stairs challenge. As always water is no problem for me.

to hit 215 stairs a day you would only have to go up and down about 8 times. I think that you can easily do that in a day.

that is hilarious!

also I love apples and peanut butter! This is my all time favorite snack or breakfast, diet or no diet!

cereal...I am sure that they will have milk. if not you can bring soy milk. doesn't require refridgeration. or dry milk and mix with water.

veggie pasta and light vinagrette dressing. should hold now refridgeration. It is good cold and you can keep it in a cooler.

One little caveat that you forgot to account for...when you exercise your body burns calories more efficently after you stop for a while but MFP does not adjust for that extra burn after stopping the exercise so I think that the extra 90 calories is really all in the wash. Does that make sense?

Let me play devil's advocate a little bit...I don't think that having the dessert is bad (no food is bad necessarily) but I would be concerned about not addressing the mental part of weightloss that causes us to feel entitled to food. Food is a tool for living. That is how thin people think. They don't have the same love…

I think that it is important of us all to realize that everything is just an estimate. While we want to get as close as possible it is important to not get too hung up on numbers...number of calories in, number of calories burned...number on the scale, etc. What really counts is not a number but how you feel and whether…

Cheese for me please

Ok - so I read the challenge for this week. I haven't been able to check in as much as I would have liked but here I am. Challenge: Breakfast is always 1 of 3 things: (avg 300 cal) 1. 2 tbsp PB, 1 apple 2. 1 oz cheddar cheese, 3 slices low fat ham deli meat, 16 RF wheat thins 3. PBJ sandwich Lunch is usually 1 of 2 things…

bump

Sorry I haven't been superdupper about checking in lately. Been oh so tired and don't have time to get enough rest. Good idea for a challenge maybe. My official weigh-in day is Wednesdays so my weight this morning was 276.6, down 2.2lbs from last week. Stupid open house tonight. I should probably get off here and go get…

I love rollercosters!

Can you count that as excerise calories?

I am always able to stay in better control when I bring a dish that I know that I can eat to parties. Then I am not as tempted by the other dishes becuase I can just eat what I brought. Also have a fruit or some cheese or something before you go so that you are not really all that hungry.

You need to take care of you and your family first! I will be keeping tabs on you! Keep your head up.

Thanks for sharing your story. What an inspiration!

Don't have a super low calorie recipe to share...I usually save up some calories for dinner because I have to feed our exchange student and I want to make sure that when he eats what we eat he is getting enough calories. Dinner tonight was a 444 calorie chicken stew plus the calories for rice. Today is my weigh-in day and…

Someone please post the recipe for Skinnytaste onion rings....I LOVE ONION RINGS!

Daily check in - 1. did not stay below my calories for the day. If anyone wants access to my diary add me as a friend. I forgot to include an afternoon snack in my counts and so when I was at the dinner table at an impromptu dinner out looking up calories for that restaurant I overcalculated what I could afford to eat. 2.…

Thought on this...confront her about how you feel and how her lack of effort to really get better is bringing your down too. Honesty in a compassionate way could be a way to go. At least then if you defriend her she will know why.

I totally want to learn how to do this one day. I am thinking for now...when I finish the master's degree that I want to join some kind of MMA (mixed martial arts)...any suggestions on a type that would be good to start with?
