Shells- I have the same dimply thighs. My calves aren't so dimply but they are big. My stomach is awful from pregnancy and fat loss. Some of I think is skin that will never go away. YOU in that dress... I saw NONE of that. You looked HOT.

Berry- I'll try to update a pic. Last time I tried I couldn't get it to work.

WOW!!
I'd :love: that for dinner!!
YUMMI :drool:

I'm working tonight.
I ate Chinese for lunch today and had a 1800 cal day.
I'll check in tomorrow.

I did get River drops for her eyes. It seems to be somewhat helpful. The discharge is not as productive. We'll see how she is in the morning.

Have a great OP evening ;)

Happy Birthday Larry! Lots of birthdays this month. Even my wife's birthday is this month.

Ok bought 30 day shred and the other similar one out, forgot the name. I figure I can do that while staying with family and at the hotel if nothing else. We're bringing a portable DVD player for the kids in the car. How funny will I look doing that? But I've worked so hard for 7 months, I don't want to go - week without doing anything but light, slow walking with kids.

I k ow they need weights. I guess I should do it tomorrow before going to see what I need to bring to do the workout.

No scale movement today, I am still at 222 pounds.

I have had a great birthday. I am a little over my calories today due to the Italian Pasta, but my sodium is sky high and off the scale. I will probably have a gain tomorrow as a result.

7/18/11 - Mon -goal 1651 calories - actual was 1864 (213 over)
7/19/11 - Tue -goal 1201 calories - actual was 904 (297 under)

7/17/11 - Sun -goal 1501 calories - actual was 1404 (97 under)

Total for the week 50 calories under. :D I will take that!!:carrot:

I got in a one mile walk tonight with my Son, Daughter in Law and Grandson.

My DW and I are returning to the same Italian Restaurant tomorrow to see friends we have not seen in a year. I will eat lightly either by choosing a different meal or by cutting my portion size. Where there is a will there is a way!!:D

Larry,

I think I'll be eating 1300-1500 forever. I'm not hungry eating at that level. I figure I'll just keep dropping weight until it doesn't drop any more at that weight and fitness level. Now, of course, that's what I 'think'. What will probably really happen is that I will eat around 1400 most days, but will have once a week or so of a higher calorie day with dessert of something and then I'll need the rest of the days to be a bit lower to compensate for the higher days. But, I'm not stopping at 175. That's just where I'll be happy enough. Anything beyond that is icing.

Good Evening All,
Well I cracked. I needed sweets and I needed them bad. SO I packed up the kids and went for ice cream (at store). We looked and looked, nothing low carb at all. I felt the need, the want to cheat, but also I'm one pound away from 40#'s I just didn't want to BLOW it. So I let the kids get their ice cream and I moved on. Ha, I got ready to eat cheese cake filling, atkin's oatmeal day break bars and heavy whipped cream. I made a small cheese cake. Yes, I'm sure it's over calories and carbs that I should be eating but I still came under! Maybe it'll take another day to lose that pound but I don't feel guilty. And it satisfied me.
I hope you all have a great night. :)

Ugh. Little advice? Don't go jogging, then drink a giant glass of water, then eat pasta. My poor tummy...

Anyways, came in at 1,408 calories.

mamakat: Mmm...cheesecake sounds good, lol. And you didn't crack, you worked it into your day and didn't blow it.

K9Owner: Hope River feels better soon!

just checking in...watched the kids today and then ran a bunch of errands right after they left...its sunny today and, while the temp in the sun reads 82, it doesnt feel like that...i dont dare get sunburned again anyhow, so ive been in the shade with long sleeves on LOL

ive been hungry ALL DAY LONG! ive made sure to eat very healthy and eat frequently but even so, omg hungry!...i attribute that to the lower carbs in my body today, in fact nearly all of my carbs have come from two portioned servings of cherries today....

been working to get my vitamins taken each day and getting some weights lifted each day ...will probably go for a bike ride later

Alaskan, I think you took my appetite! Lol! I'm only at 800 cal for the day and I'm not feeling hungry one bit. It's midnight here now and I'll probably go to bed by one thirty. I don't know if I'll want to eat anything by then. I had one meal today (ww spaghetti with my homemade meatballs and half a cup of sauce) which came to about 450 cals. Other than a yogurt for lunch, I just kind of picked at things today. A baby carrot or two here, some strawberries and blueberries there. Just not hungry at all *shrug*
