Stress Management/Meeting Goals
On Jan 1 I was at 198lbs....today, 6 days later i'm at 191. I'm currently dealing with my 3 year old's surgery coming up and am a complete wreck. I'm having a really hard time reaching my calorie goal. Even yesterday i only made it up to 600...and that was mostly the creamer in my coffee. While i'm glad the numbers are…

Granola!!!
So I bought this "Bear Naked" granola. Banana Nut variety. I must admit....I love it. I put a handful in my oatmeal every morning to give it some crunch (I hate the goopy texture). And also in my yogurt. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a nice HEALTHY, natural ie. minimally processed, granola I could try.

Documenting Your Journey
Well, I have a sizeable amount of weight to lose and hopefully i'll be going through a pretty dramatic transformation in the coming year. My sister gave me a scrapbook and all the acoutrements to document my journey month by month, and even made the first page for me. Cutout letters spelling "January 2011" and a rather…

Cleanses...minor freakout.
I was just talking to a friend of mine who said she's planning on getting a colonic, but before that, she's going to do a "cleanse". According to her "doctor" (she sees a homeopathic practitioner) the cleanse flushes out your system and helps to release the toxins. It also "removes the traces of unhealthy chemicals from…

Jerkey
A friend of mine and I were talking earlier about beef/turkey etc. jerkies and having a debate over the health benefits of it. Is there a way to make jerkies healthier? What's the healthiest incarnation of it?

Do you reward yourself?
Aside from the general reward of a healthier, slimmer you, do you reward yourself for weight loss goals? I, for example, am rewarding myself with a pair of Iron Fist shoes when I hit my 20lb mark, new hairstyle at 30, etc. What are your rewards for a job well done?? :bigsmile:

My motivation. Stupid, but effective. LOL
I DVR'd the Victoria's Secret Fashion show. LOL Primarily, i'm a stress and late night eater so i just turn it on when i'm eyeballing the bag of oreos or really craving those chili cheese fries. It sets me straight usually. My "reward" at the end of all this is to have a budoir photo session with my photog friend for my…

Fats Question
My nutrition log thing says my fat goal should be 40g a day, however, i'm coming in WAY under that. For example, at present my total is 8g. 2 is from the lean turkey breast i ate for lunch and the rest is from the creamer in my coffee (i know, i'm working on it. LOL). Is it harmful to be so far under my fats goal if i'm on…

Rapid Weight Loss?
So i'm kinda freaking out here.... Yesterday I weighed in at 197.4 but this morning I am at 193.2? I didn't do anything very strenuous or anything yesterday and didn't eliminate any more than ordinary. I didn't eat as much as I normally do, but even still..........4lbs?? Should I be worried? Happy? Don't look a gift horse…

Protein Sources
According to the calculations from the nutrition tracker thing on here (LOL) my goal protein intake should be something like 40g...but here's the rub...I had my gallbladder removed a while back and since then I can't digest animal products for squat, so I don't eat or drink much meat or dairy. I guess I need an alternative…

Expectations vs. Possibility (Fitness Models)
After going through some of the posts here (and being incredibly inspired) I began to wonder what kind of results in reality I can actually achieve. Currently i'm 28, 5'6", 197 lbs and my BMI is 31.8 :( . I'm clinically obese. I wonder if it's possible, given my having given birth 4 times and stretching my skin so much…
