If I can do it, so can you!!!
I just wanted to share my journey with you guys. I started this at 323 which was not my heaviest, but when I started this journey it is what I weighed. That was Jan 2011. I saw a picture of myself and honestly I did not recognize myself. I was ashamed and embarrassed that I let it get so far out of control. I was on meds…

Tracking water
My coworker and I were discussing water intake. She logs her coffee as part of her water. I do it separately from the water. She is saying it "technically" water. How do you track your water?

How much water do you drink daily?
I have a goal of 89 ounces but I swear it feels like I am floating and walking the rug bear to the ladies room at work!

Best NSV so far!!!!
Yesterday I was able to walk in Victoria's Secret and buy bras and panties. Until you have weighed over 300 pounds and not able to even look at the things there, you may not get it. I all but cried in the fitting room. What has been your best NSV so far?

Logging Weight Lost vs Regain
Question to you my friends. How do you log you weight loss? Do you log regains or leave them at the lowest weight until the scales moves again?

Re- Evaluating My Goal Weight
I am two pounds away from 100 pounds lost and I am re-considering my goal weight. I am 5'7 and weigh 225. My goal weight is 190 but I am not sure what another 35-40 pounds would look like.

Body Image
So with the 34 pounds that I have lost, you would think I would be able to see a difference, right? I am noticing that even when I go to buy new clothes, for whatever reason I still will automatically pick up the larger shirt or pants. I guess I am used to getting the larger size, but even now in some cases I have to put…

Flax Milk?
Has anyone tried this and if so what are your thoughts? I have been using almond milk to substitute for regular milk, as I can not handle it very well. A co-worker told me about it and said it was the best thing she has found out there.

How do you keep track?
Do you plan your days out or do you log the calories as you eat? I log as I eat and I am trying to see if that is gonna be the best way to continue.

How much water do you drink daily?
I am now drinking about 9-11 glasses of water a day. I have cut out drinking sodas or juice, except for the occasional V-8 Splash. But I keep hearing that I am drinking too much. Can there be such a thing? Outside of wearing a trail from my desk to the ladies room, I am fine.

Office Party Vent
I am so annoyed with my co-workers today. We had a surprise lunch for someone's birthday and I choose not to eat but brought a fruit salad. When I said no thank you to having cake also, the same person had the nerve to still bring it to me at my desk. :grumble: And she said if she was going to ruin her diet today, so was…
