How many lbs do you loose before changing clothes size?
So I am just wondering HOW MANY TIMES I need to shop for smaller clothes- don't get me wrong I certainly DON'T MIND gettting smaller clothes but can be a wee bit costly. So I was wondering - How many pounds do YOU loose before you go out and get some new clothes? So far I have lost 23 pounds and had to get smaller size…

Green tea- what does it taste like?
So I have been hearing about green tea and was wondering if I would even like it... I do like regular tea- well sweet tea but I like the taste of tea in general. So does "green tea" taste like "tea" or does it have a more distintive taste? And what do you add to your "green tea"? Sweetner, cream etc... what? Thanks!

Was it the Squats?
I did the December "squat challenge" and found that it did get easier as the days went on. I didn't know what to expect after December was over but this is what I DID discover.... It is easier to "hoover" above a public toilet...lol. The other one was that my legs look/seem smaller. I have always had thick thighs and feel…

But wanted to share just what happened so if you are like me and have been on a plateau for weeks or even months, like I was, you may want to try this, oh and let me say that before this happened I HAD tried the "eat more weigh less" / raise calories / switch up exercises, you name I tried it…

Frustrated beyond frustrated!
My scale is NOT moving in the right direction! I know, I know, don't rely so much on the scale! But how can I not?? I have to stay accountable for my actions and THAT is the main way I do that! But it just seems like NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING I do is making any difference now! I began this journey last August and had…

It's more than .2 pounds!
July 14th, 2012 that is when I hit 190.0- so happy, however, my weigh date was a couple of days after I had been sick and I do believe that was not an accurate weight since within the next month it went back to 192.6 and jumped between this and 191.8. I so thought I was NEVER going to see the 180's! I hit a plateau and…

Had an emotional break-down last night
No am not proud of it but from time to time I just need a good cry! Well this was NOT one of those moments. This time it was this $%&#$@%# plateau that I have been on and CAN NOT seem to get off of! I checked the scale last night (before anybody says anything about staying off the scale save your fingertips tap tap tapping…

Do I need to increase my calories again?
I have hit a plateau and wondering if I NEED to increase my calories again to see if that will bump me off this thing? I am 5' 2.5", currently weigh 190 lbs with a BMR at 1587 (I am currently eating 1500 calories) I have figured my TDEE - 20% and that would be a littiel over 1900 caloires (wow) I am not sure I can jump…

Since I have lost weight I now like....
1) My neck line- it looks longer 2) My shawdow - It shows my figure without the "flaws" I still see in the mirror 3) My "somewhat" blurry reflection in a picture as I walk down the hallway at my work because I can see how my shoulders are actually wider than my hips now! I have lots more weight to lose but as of right now…

I want...I want...
I want to be one of those women that "other" women look at and then secretly wish they looked as good I do, instead of BEING one of those women that secretly wish they looked as good as "that" one does in those tight fitting jeans and tank top! Yes I know pure selfishness here but come on how many of you do the same…

Oh how I hate those "I feel so fat today" days!
Why even after 42 pounds gone do these days creep into my life? Is it because of so many years of being told "you are fat" or the years of teasing as a child about my weight or just the "fatter" person I continue to see when I look in the mirror? Either way I HATE THESE days! Anyone know how to over come them or make them…

"Big" clohes-what are you doing with them?
As you loose the weight and your clothes size shrinks what are you doing with your "bigger" size clothes? Keeping them for the just-in-case-I-get-back-to-that-size again? Selling them? Giving them away? Just curious since THIS IS where I am right now. And I am having a hard time with some of my "favorite" items, even…

Could it be the broccoli?
I steamed broccoli and califlower on Tuesday to eat at lunch time, I noticed my gut making so many strange noises afterwards and the next day I showed a "gain". However the following day I didn't eat broccoli or califlower and scales showed 3 pounds lost, in one day- I KNOW THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN- I know it was just water…
