First, love the shirt (Griswold Family Christmas). "Christmas Vacation" is a classic, it's so funny! Second, well done! I, too, have lost over 100 pounds and am about halfway through this weight loss journey. Same as you, I started at 355, and am currently at 254 (lost and gained last year due to family drama) so believe…

I'M BORED

I want to take a moment and say how truly grateful I am for everyone and everything in my life. :)

I wonder how they would go in things like protein muffins?

Good morning Olivia! My name is Kim, nice to meet you. Congratulations on meeting your goal weight and good luck training for the marathon. That's one thing I would love to be able to do when I reach my goal weight- run a marathon! I can already see myself training for it by running on the beach on weekend mornings. I too…

Yup, that's happened to me recently. Life stuff combined with some boredom from my health routine and then to top it all off, I pulled muscles in my back. I decided to take a brief break from losing weight until 1.) my back healed and 2.) I was ready to get back in the game. So the last three weeks in December, I didn't go…

BEACH BODY HERE I COME LET'S DO THIS!!!!! ......... THUNDERCATS ARE GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :D

I deleted my account a long time ago and have not looked back. Personally, I find it to be completely useless and a waste a of time, not to mention phone memory space. Originally it was to keep in touch with friends who were long distance, but it wasn't even doing that since those friends either deleted their profiles or…

Water is a critical component not just to weight loss but our entire wellbeing and overall health. Without staying properly hydrated, you could become very ill, and even end up in the hospital. That happened to a friend of mine, and let me tell you- it's not pretty or pleasant! So yes, water is really important. Our bodies…

Damn right! I love salad.

Hi Paulette, welcome! Yup, I understand the struggle all too well. I'm something of a foodie, so it's been a long road working on controlling my eating. Work in progress! But it's great that you are taking that step in taking back control over your life.

It's okay, this is nothing to beat yourself up over or worry about. It's just one day. I don't know what your scenario is on a daily basis, so I cannot predict what will happen. Maybe you will maintain. Maybe you will gain a few ounces or a pound in water weight (which will come right back off again). Or surprise- you…

"What gets measured gets managed." I like that! My wake up call was a pair of jeans. Back in March of 2016, I was down to my last pair of pants which had finally ripped. So I head into this plus size clothing store Avenue and try on my usual size 22's, only to find that I couldn't get them past my knees. :o Okay, size 24?…

Everything in moderation. It's all about balance.

EXACTLY! Thank God, someone understands! It's mostly older people who say this stuff to me, but still... And btw, having children does NOT guarantee they'll be wiping your rear end when you're older. They will either outsource that job to a nurse at the nursing home or for whatever unforeseen reasons they may not be in…

Phrases that make me cringe the most would be the responses I get when I tell people that I probably should not have children: "You'll change your mind someday!" Been hearing that one since age 13- it's 20+ years later, and I still haven't changed my mind. "Oh, you don't really mean that." Yes, I do. Why would I lie to you…

I do the same thing during my workouts when I feel like I can't make it through. I go "okay, just five more minutes. You can do this." Next thing I know five minutes passes, I get my second wind and keep going. It does work! Another thing I do for discipline is visualization of a goal- for me, it was envisioning myself in…

I would eat it. Cut it up, season it and roast it. Delicious!

Up your protein, that usually helps me. If I'm craving sweets after dinner, I'll have a chocolate protein bar. I like the PowerCrunch bars, those are pretty good and low sugar.

Holy smokes, crossbar, you are definitely in my prayers. That is just awful. I am sorry to hear that you have to put up with that.

If bacon is wrong, I don't want to be right! LOL. True story- I could never go full vegetarian pretty much because of bacon. I love bacon and refuse to give it up completely.

Exactly! I couldn't agree more. As long as I'm not eating the entire cake myself or doing this all day every day, who cares?! One slice once in a blue moon isn't going to make or break anything. It's all about balance and moderation. Wow, I can't believe your mom did that to you- denying you a cough drop because it had…

Krisydee, I know how that is! I *used* to be that person in the office who'd say that "life is for having fun! eat cake, you only live once!" and so on. I brought in cupcakes and crap on a regular basis and then wondered why I pissed people off. Let me tell you from personal experience- people who say those kinds of things…

I want to be the best version of myself that I possibly can be.

Planning is the best thing you can do in this scenario. Allow yourself ONE cheat meal per week and plan for it. Go to a nice restaurant, maybe grab some friends and let yourself have whatever you want to. That's really the best way of dealing with wanting "the bad foods" is to just let yourself have it once a week and work…

Yeah that was a bad day for me. I've since avoided the "parties" when possible; people are finally getting the message. When I am invited, I'm happy to see that there's healthier stuff around. Like at the last pizza party, there was salad. So one slice of pizza and a salad to go with it. Everybody wins there. And you're…
