Down 125 lbs.

Multiple meanings

Holy crap! The BEFORE pic of you looks like it could be your mom! You look SOOOO MUCH younger! And you are gorgeous!!! Congrats!!

I have a food scale, I just failed to weigh it before I ate it. Most of the seedless watermelons are basically the same size anymore (purchased at Walmart). The cubes were pretty small, about 3/4" cubed. I figured 7 cups (yes, I ate all of that.... lol), so I'll just go with that. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. Lost 65lbs too but gained it all back (only kept it off for a few months until I went through a breakup). Today is Day 1 for me. I'm addicted to sugar and getting off of it is my first priority. How are you doing?

I **totally** understand where you're coming from! I did the same thing, having lost 65lbs only to regain it after a break up. And I feel like I've been *stuck* for months, to the extent that I cannot even figure out what to eat in a day! I believe what had me stuck is fear.... fear, and maybe even some depression. I'm…

Yes, exactly!! Studies have shown that sugar is more addictive than cocaine! I, too, am a "crack" (sugar) addict, and the only way I can stop is cold turkey. It's definitely hard the first week (or two), but I know that if I have one sweet thing, I'll want three, which quickly turns into five. Just do it.

I have RA, and when I cut out sugar (anything that was sweet or whose main/first three ingredients were sugar), I improved so much I would forget I even had RA. No joke! Unfortunately, I'm on the "crack" now, having slipped back into my addiction over the past few months, and I hurt every day. Today is Day 1 of "sobriety."

Yeah, I *did* have mine at 1500 before I changed it today. I think I'm going to push it back up 1400. Thanks everyone for the input.

I put that I wanted to lose 2lbs per week. At 217lbs, I don't think that's all that unreasonable. With the sedentary activity level and trying to lose 2lbs a week, I'm guessing that's what's kicking it down to 1,200. I only put "sedentary" because I sit all day at my job, and sometimes in the evening, as well. Maybe I need…

I am 5'6". My activity level is set to Sedentary because I sit all day at my job. I have JUST started working out consistently, which should amount to at least 5x per week. Maybe I need to change my activity level?

I just wanted to tell you that whenever I needed to use less lean meat, in order to get rid of some of the fat, I would brown it in a skillet with some water added, so that I could pour off the water - and the grease along with it. I don't know how much this helped but every little bit...right? :)

Jade, I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet (I didn't read all of the replies), but I couldn't do lunges because I would get bad knee pain, but I can do the leg press machine without any problems. I know it's probably not as good of a burn as a squat, but it's definitely something.

Do you take any prescription meds? I was put on Hydrochlorathyzide for kidney stones a couple of years ago, but I didn't realize it was also used to treat high blood. It constantly made me dizzy, almost to the point of passing out. It took me a while to figure out the connection because I didn't know it was a HBP medicine.…

I also have RA, although not nearly as bad as you, it sounds. :( I'm still pretty functional 6yrs after diagnosis...there's really not much I can't do. However, I do notice that if I eat sugar (I'm a sugar-aholic), I feel miserable....swollen, achy, stiff, etc., in almost every joint. Based on the amount of weight you've…

Yes, I cook frozen chicken breasts all the time.

Everyone always talks about how hard the Foreman is to clean, but I disagree. What I do is heat up the grill for 1min (provided you've allowed it to cool after cooking your food). Then, I wet a paper towel (squeeze out the excess water, but leave it "a little" wet) and wipe down the grates. Everything slides right off.…

@beyourown -- I'll take that.....lol. 49 in October.

I'm almost afraid to play this game....lol. @chelseagirlfl....let's see.....45? :) lol You look NOWHERE close to that!

Ha! I could never be a fan of the cheaters. I have integrity. :) By the way, maybe I missed it, but didn't "the QB whose woman holds his balls" choke against Flacco, too? Yes, I think he did. :)

Right.....a number I don't even remember. LOL

@Mains_adam: No....too young.
