  1. 8 days from my 6 month surgiversary - if I can lose 3 more pounds, I'll be halfway to goal. I might even get a haircut just to take off a few ounces, lol.

      Thanks, all! 1 pound to go now by the 25th - I wanted to be half done at 6 months and it looks like I might make it!

  2. A spoon full of espresso powder and a squirt of caramel Folgers Flavors in some Nectar cappuccino is actually pretty darn good on ice.

      That's going on my list! I love anything pineapple :)

      Another favorite when I'm in the mood for something chocolate/mocha (chocolate's not a huge draw for me), is to mix about 10 oz. skim milk, 1 serving of the Unjury Vanilla, 1 serving Chocolate Splendor, and 4-6 ozs. cold/room temp coffee, shake well, drink chilled or over ice.

      I absolutely agree, the cappuccino nectar is technically bareable, but with the addition of espresso powder it's pretty darned good.

  3. Went to Charm City Run for new shoes. Left with shoes and 8 weeks of training for the Baltimore Women's Classic. Can't be trusted in the store, lol.

  4. Hit and run driver nailed my new car the day my first payment cleared, and now it hurts to exercise :(.

      Thanks, all! I've been medicated and offline. Feeling much better now, though - still going to have some back pain for a while, but thankful that it wasn't worse. Back at it! :)

  5. Here's hoping for a night without riots. I still love you, Baltimore, but this sucks.

      Agreed! This breaks my heart.

      don't know what this world is coming to - its terrible - i have 3 young grand--kids hope they find a new better world - don't know if that's gonna happen kathy

  6. Do you count / track the calories in your vitamins and supplements?

    1. IcanMakeit

      IcanMakeit

      No. I started out doing that and then decided it was not really necessary since I only use sugar free.

    2. Zoey716

      Zoey716

      I only track that I take them so I don't forget to take them. However, I do not track them for calorie purposes. I don't think it's that necessary.

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Thanks, all - I'm debating on whether to keep counting them or not. The vitamins, fish oil, fiber gummies and calcium chews add up to 83 calories. Doesn't sound like much, but it's a big chunk of a low calorie day.

  7. Little things can make a huge difference! Protein shakes are much more drinkable over ice.

    1. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      The coffee and the pineapple extract both sound delicious - thanks! Have either of you seen the new Fairlife milk? It's got more protein in it than regular milk (13 g for 1 cup vs 8 g). I've been drinking more of that, too. Most of my protein comes from food now, but some days it's just harder to meet that goal than others!

    2. MrsSugarbabe

      MrsSugarbabe

      I haven't seen the Fairlife milk yet. Will have to look for it. Does it taste like skim milk?

      If you haven't already learned this (I had to ask), you can make up your Unjury shake and drink it the next day. I've found this very helpful from a morning time-saving standpoint. Also, I think the shakes taste better when allowed to "bloom" for a while. So many brands of powder say you should drink it immediately.

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      It does - I can't tell the difference at all. It's supposed to be the way it's processed that causes it to have less sugar and more protein, but I don't have any clue what's involved :)

  8. Traveled all weekend and my eating was a little out of control. At least I got plenty of exercise - back on track today!

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy

  9. Got to work with my shiny new 32 oz Contigo all filled up with ice and water...and realized I forgot to reattach the damn straw to the lid when it came out of the dishwasher. Whoops.

  10. If I eat any more chicken, I'm going to sprout wings.

      try changing it up with fish

      Tilipia, the mildest easiest fish to cook!

      I do need to do more with fish - I'm not great at cooking it, but I like it when other people make it :).

  11. First time in my life I've ever had to worry about expiration dates and food safety.

  12. I love Fairlife milk. Tastes normal, more protein!

  13. That awesome moment when someone you didn't think knew you existed notices you've been losing weight...then tells you they lost 100 pounds themselves!

  14. Finally, officially in size 18 pants :). Picked up 2 new pairs and an outfit for the gym as a treat - and accidentally found a dress, too. Someone left it in the dressing room and it fit, so it must've been meant for me, right?

    1. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      It was the dressing room at the store, not the gym - someone tried it on and decided not to buy it

    2. Susan Mary

      Susan Mary

      Oh, well that's different. Sorry, I misread what you wrote.....so, I hope you bought it!!

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Lol! I sure did - and I think I might go back for the pink one.

  15. 60 pounds down and I'm still not down a shirt size - I look like an ice cream cone, lol.

    1. Djmohr

      Djmohr

      I am losing my weight from the bottom half of my body as well. It is weirder how that works.

      lucky! i feel like i have lost 50lbs from my boobs

       

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Lol! I know mine are deflating, but not enough to spend money on a new bra yet. I'm burning through pants sizes like crazy, though - it really is weird!!

  16. Who has the best fast food salads? Water main break = can't do dishes, so no cooking for a few days.

    1. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Thanks! I ended up at McDonalds last night and it wasn't a great salad - sounds like Wendy's is where it's at! One benefit to this, though. I need to shower to go to work, so it's getting me to the gym! :D

      I love Panera's salads. They are unique and I get an apple as a side. I love the soups as well. You can go online and look at the nutrition info

    3. roundisashape

      I discovered Nalley Fresh last night and got a sweet potato bowl - a whole bunch of stuff I never would have put together, but it was pretty amazing! Like a salad dropped on top of a sweet potato.

  17. Mini-goal met! -30% excess weight. 2 pounds to next mini-goal.

  18. Spent 2 days cleaning my basement and moving boxes. If I had to touch my toes right now, I'd fall on my face.

  19. Is it the surgery making my hair fall out, or trying to fix my damn credit? I feel like the "We're going OFF THE GRID" guy from the pizza commercial.

  20. Walked a LOT on vacation, but didn't eat quite as well as I should have. It evened out, I came home the same weight i was when I left. I'll take it.

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy

      glad you didn't gain - back to program - you'll become a winner again, while you are a loser (did i say that right?? LOL) kathy

    2. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Thanks! Turns out it's just "girly time" - maybe I lost weight and my body just hasn't figured it out yet :D

  21. I DID IT! I went to Old Navy and actually zipped a pair of jeans. :D

    1. ProjectMe

      ProjectMe

      YES! What an accomplishment! Keep it up!

  22. My stomach sounds like a gremlin. It's kinda funny.

      lol. Perfect name for it.

  23. My Fitbit Zip is coming tomorrow - woohoo!

    1. Georgia

      Georgia

      yes, i am and love it! I also like mine because it tracks sleep and has caller id!!

       

    2. HappiTam

      HappiTam

      I didn't realize that I got up in the night to pee until I got fit bit. I also tracked how many steps it took to walk to the alarm clock, hit snooze, and go back to bed.

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      That's funny! I'm glad these things didn't exist when I worked nights. I was up in my sleep all the time - even woke up outside, in the rain, in my jammies, cleaning out the car one day.
