Hey everyone! I just saw Bev replied about daily weight fluctuation. I hadn't thought about it either until my BF was laughing at me for scale hopping and said "you know how much water you drink, right??? That gallon alone is 8 pounds! If you drink more, eat more, even if you are running to the bathroom all day you are still going to go fluctuate in weight everyday! YOU are so Funny!" RIGHT!! ;P HAHAHA...
After I thought about it, he was right (as usual) and I just weigh in the morning now! I also don't weigh every day. I only weigh if an outfit drastically changes in the way it fits or I seem puffy.
SO, my big news since coming back! I had a 4 pound loss coming back from vacation and was on T.O.M. (newbies, that is time of month abbreviation)!!! Best part! I fit into my size 10 skirt before I left but when I got back... got into my 10 pants too! I went shopping yesterday and bought medium size tops, a size 10 summer dress ( BF says it is already to big in places) and I have lost a full SHOE size!! WHO KNEW!
I feel like doing back flips!

Great NSV's Carla. You have done so well losing 70 lbs and are still doing great! I am very proud of you and glad you are back on the forum again. I missed seeing your input.
I have been wearing Levi's 515's in the long size. I have gone from 14's and 16's down to 10's and 12's. I was hoping to find some different jeans to wear today. I tried a few different brands and they all make my but look flat. I have never had a very round bottom but they looked awful. I would really like to have some other choices than levi's but they need to be long length, about 34 inch inseams. Does anyone have any suggestions?

add more Omega 3s or Olive oil, that should help a bit

here are a few resources you can check for long length jeans:
So excited ! Two more weeks and my husband will be home from Iraq ! Wish I had made my goal but still happy Ive got this far ! It would be nice if I could loose 6 or 8 more lbs in two weeks but for some reason my body is loosing much slower now . Bummed about that . Oh well !
He'd have to blind not to see how great you look! Your numbers are awesome!

There have been a lot of things posted on here - but I'd like to know, what are your favorite veggies??? The ones you couldn't get through this diet without?
I love to slice squash or zuccini and grill them on my george foreman, I sprinkle sea salt on them...scrumptous!

My coach said this about the letter:
He's had several people come in who had items such as: double cheese burgers, chips w/salsa, DQ Blizzard etc.
He was very sweet with us (my daughter and me). So that being said, I'm good. I've signed on for one more week (of course I'll keep going, but it's one week at a time)!
Way to go! 4.5!!

I bet it felt pretty great to see the scale be in the two hundreds...awesome!! Way to go!!! When I have cravings, I drink more water, the worse they get, I just CHUG it, drink it fast. After about eight ounces in two or three swallows, I don't even want to think of eating, my belly feels so full! :>
On Fitday.com I've set up my IP products. Here's my question: Is there a way to have it calculate partial portions? In other words, every morning I use 2 oz of IP Vanilla Drink in my coffee. Of course I want to count the 2 oz, but I don't want to count all 8. I do sometimes just freeze the other 6 and eat it as my snack that night, in which case, of course I would count it. Okay, never mind... LOL I'm just going to go make 2 oz the serving size and divide everything by 4, then if I have the whole thing I'll put in that I had 4 servings. See sometimes we just need to talk things out!
Hope everyone has an ideal day today. Tonight is my son's Prom. I'm so excited to see my little boy "all grown up" and Yes, I will take proud mom pics (shutter bug at large - hey shutter bug getting smaller)!
Thought I would share with you that this morning I finally went back under the 150 lbs!
(This was the goal to get a new pair of shoes!! I found them last night and did not want to wear them before I went under 150... guess I can wear them now!! - And they were 50% off!!)
...and my fat cat went under 25lbs! 2 small victories!
