Mere's Thread: 244 lbs and doing an 8K / 22 obstacle course in 188 days!
DH and I signed up for an ***8K / 22 obstacle course on Oct 3rd!!!!*** That's 188 days from now! Why?!?!?!? Because it's a solid 6 month goal to set and we are committed to making the last three months of changes into a long term lifestyle. Because we've always wanted to do it and there is no time like the present to make…

Lost 60lbs and started self sabotaging - wth?
I realized this morning I must have issues my weight loss success to date. I started in late Jan and lost almost 60 lbs by mid june. I was eating great and exercising and really killing it. But then as I gained confidence in myself I started letting myself have food "rewards" and slacking because I'd done so good. It's…

-50.4 Lbs & Hit a 20 year personal goal!
I weighed in this morning and the number on the scale was one I haven't seen since I got pregnant with my second child 20 years ago. It's exhilarating and I'm very proud of this accomplishment! B) I started at 270 in Jan and am now at 219.6. It's 80% eating habit changes and 10% getting off my butt. I definitely couldn't…

The little things we do to trick ourselves into being successful...

I'm 44lbs down in 4 months- here are a few of my little tricks. * I play "workout lotto" meaning I work my *kitten* off but if this one certain song comes on my pandora or google music…

Down 40 lbs in 100 days :) I found the secret! Shhhh.... don't tell anyone!
Today I logged 100 days on MFP and a total of 40 lbs lost. I'm 38 years old and am not targeting a specific weight - just to be healthy and happier in my own skin. When I started, I did have fantasies of loosing 120+ but I don't think that's realistic anymore because that may not be a reflection of me actually being…

OMG Breakfast!! 233 Cal / 4.7 Fat / 11 Carb / 32 Protein
I'm in love with this breakfast creation. I've tinkered around with it for a few weeks and it never disappoints- but it's SO simple & basic. The secrete is the mushrooms and laughing cow cheese. It's very hardy and ties me over from 6am to mid morning snack at 10am and reminds me of egg and sausage tacos- sort of. Very…

Check my math...
I'm making a huge pot of split pea soup today for a crowd. According to the bag of dried peas, each bag contains 13 servings @ 90 cals each. I am making 4 bags. So 52 servings total in the pot. I'm using 32 cups of water (lid on so I should lose much in steam). 52 servings / 32 cups = 1.62 servings of peas in each cup.…

It isn't just about the weight...
Howdy from South Texas! I'm 38 and am working to drop 120 lbs... but it isn't just about the weight. I started from a place of shame, apathy, frustration, guilt, poor confidence and emotional burn out. I'm working on me as much as I'm working on my weight. It's a package deal- else anything I do related to weight loss will…

Superbowl Party!! Sneaky Sneaky...
I make this buffalo chicken dip everyone loves- so I'm almost required by law to bring it. What they don't know is that I've trimmed 36gm of fat out of a single serving and added 12gm of protein by selecting lower fat versions of the dairy and dressing ingredients and doubling the chicken breast. Not bad! Of course, I'll…
