The dreaded scale...
How often do you weigh in? Daily, weekly, monthly? It's always so different from person to person. I was doing daily, but I'm thinking I'll try every few days.

Most embarrassing "fat" moment....
Before I started losing weight, I was at the hospital visiting my grandpa. A volunteer who drove the little shuttle thingy to the front door came to me as I was walking across the parking lot, and asked me if I needed a ride to the MATERNITY section of the hospital...I was so mortified I wanted to die!! I would say that…

Jillian Michael's Whey Protein
I was wondering if I should get it tonight during my weekly shopping trip? My protein intake has been a little low lately, so I'm, considering using whey. Also, I'm going to start upping my weight training to heavier weights. Suggestions?

Lifting weights
What is considered a "good" weight lifting session? Should you gauge by time, reps, weights, etc? TIA for your opinions

Running: Treadmill vs outside
I have been offered the job of a lifetime, but it requires that I pass a physical fitness test that I must continue to pass every 6 months. Anywho, one of the tests is a 1.5 mile run in 16 min and 35 seconds. I timed myself yesterday on the treadmill, and I fell a little short....(in that time, I did 1.32 miles). I was…

30 DS
I started the 30 DS today, and I gotta say I loved it. I was sweating pretty hard by the time I was finished! It's not a huge calorie burn though (I burned 254), so I'm thinking of combining it with my gym routine. Is that overkill? I'm hoping the program will help me in the tummy area (my least fav area). I love those…

Ground Turkey and Black Bean Tacos (Pic)
I made these tacos tonight and they were AMAZING!! I love mexican food, so I'm constantly on the hunt for healthy ways to eat it. Here's the recipe and both tacos (and a small salad of the extra fixins that don't fit into the tortillas) is only 383 calories and 31 g of protein!! SCORE:smile: 2 corn tortillas (just heated…

Singles Club
LOL I'm a 29 yr old who hasn't had a serious boyfriend in FOREVER....so during Father's Day dinner this past weekend, my mom tells me I should join a singles club, and get a boyfriend....I just had to laugh. I think she's sick of seeing me single LMAO

Sensa
Just so you know, I AM NOT considering starting Sensa, but I was watching the infomercial yesterday...I wish weight loss was as easy as sprinkling something on my food LOL. Thoughts on the product? What other "silly" diet aids are out there that we can poke fun at? :laugh:

Brussel Sprouts
I just bought brussel sprouts for the 1st time today...I remember liking them when I was younger, but I haven't had them in YEARS....AND I have no idea how to cook them. Any fun ideas? TIA

Quick Tuna Salad
So because I'm always busy during lunchtime at work, I like to make foods that are easy and fun. Today I made a tuna salad sandwich. It was so yummy and filling as hell!! 1/4 c low sodium canned tuna in water 1/4 c plain non fat greek yogurt 1 onion slice, chopped 1 fresh jalapeno (a few slices chopped) a couple drops of…

Subway mustard...wtf
Yellow mustard has ZERO cals...a healthier alternative to mayo and what not. BUT, when you add Subway's mustard to a turkey sandwich, it adds 10 cals....wtf? Is there mustard special or something? Just wondering LOL......

You're body type won't support that.....you're big boned
I HATE when people tell me this stupid line! How do THEY know how small and healthy my body can get? I don't EVEN know....I've been fat my entire life, so who knows.....I might be a lean mean fighting machine under all this blub.....ok rant over LOL! :tongue:

Not done, but halfway there w/ *pics*
As of this past week, I have lost 52 lbs (I lost 20 before MFP), so I thought I would share some progress pics. I have about 50 or 60 lbs left to lose, but I'm closer than I was back in the day! (and sorry about the bad quality of the "before" pic....I had to take a pic with my phone off my computer) :bigsmile:…

Measuring yourself
When you measure your waist, is that at the belly button line? When you measure your chest, is it across the nipple line? Hips? I'd like to start measuring to see if I come up with results! Sorry for being clueless lol

Finding love....
So I decided when I started back up again after my surgery in April, that I would solely focus on health, weight loss, and fitness and put finding love on the back burner. I feel like I'm not the person I want to present to the world yet, so I'm waiting until I hit goal to date again. Has anyone else done this or am I just…

Goal or $$?
If you had a one time choice of either hitting goal weight today, and staying at your "perfect" weight for life, or being given $2 million today (tax free), which would you choose?? I'd choose goal weight LOL....:laugh:
