She doesn't look skinny fat and untoned to me. She looks human, like a mother of two children who is getting her body back. Her arms have definition, but what? She has some cellulite on her backside? Or do you say skinny fat because she has curves? She may be lying about how she did it or she may have really done it that way, IDK. But I don't see skinny fat and I am NOT a Britney fan.

If I stepped out of the house and looked as good as she does in a tiny bikini, I'd be thrilled.

She looks great.

I've tried it. It's full of "natural" caffeine so it made me jittery and made my heart race. Even when I took the afternoon dose early I slept very poorly @ night. I was afraid to exercise with my heart already racing while at rest, I thought I'd have a heart attack if I exercised with it. I did walk the trail after taking it, but that was about it for exercise. I really didn't see any impact on my weight loss.

It does suppress your appetite somewhat and it does give you energy. Unfortunately for me it was very nervous jittery scary energy.

I think you'll be fine without it.

Thanks for posting. I think starvation mode is a totally overused term here. I know it's possible to wreck your metabolism but it doesn't happen overnight as some posters tell others.

I notice this group is called the December challenge. Is this our goal for the month of December alone, or our overall goal?

WII fit! :) Of course you did ask what WE want. IDK if your mom or wife has or would want such a thing.

It sounds like you've given such awesome gifts in the past, I don't know how you're going to top yourself!

I'm an 8th grade English/Language Arts teacher. We have been back in school since 8/4. I found that once school started, my weight loss stalled. During the summer, I walked religiously outdoors daily with my dog and never cheated on my calories more than twice. When school began a group of teachers and I started walking right after school around the hallways (very fast walking) however, I haven't lost another ounce. I know that I haven't been eating AS healthy as I had during the summer. There are a lot of cookies, cakes, candy and STUFF around all the time. I don't get crazy but I have had more sugar than I'd had in months. No weight gain, thank goodness, but no loss.

I'm 5'7", my starting weight was 166.6, I'm currently 156. I want to get down to 145. 

SW: 166

Hah! I knew it! I figured if you'd gained anything it was water from sodium. I don't think one binge day causes true weight gain, just as one dieting day doesn't cause true weight loss.

Okay, I'll bite................I say 0 - 0.5 lbs.

Thursday's weigh in for 7/17

I've crept slowly but surely out of the overweight category into the high normal BMI category. That was one goal. Now the next goal is to get down to my goal weight. After that, lots of toning for sure.

I hope everyone had a successful week.

Hope everyone is doing great!

I love and crave rice, any kind, served any style, rice, lots of it. Today I've had an insane craving for chocolate cake and a really high fat, high sugar coffee like something decadent from starbucks. I can sit and actually taste it in my mind. I also love Fruity Pebbles!! I haven't had any in so long I can't even remember, but if I start I can eat the whole box in 2 days. I also LOVE sushi and crave it often. I don't want any of the riceless kind, gotta have rice on my sushi!! Cuz I LOVE rice!

I was in junior high with a girl named April Flowers. My daughter has a friend named Arynn (pronounced AIR-in), she has another friend named Jaris (pronounced Jair-iss). I've always liked the name Jada. My daughter's name is Alexis which has become common but is strong meaning helper of mankind.

I did. I had less than 200 cals for breakfast and I didn't eat anything else after I got home BUT I had a hot dog, a peice of boneless skinless grilled chicken, corn casserole, baked beans, banana pudding, "dirt" cake, a tiny peice of BBQ ribs. It was wonderful! I didn't have tons of each thing but I did have some of everything!!

I would estimate that I had about 2500 calories yesterday. Today I just got right back on the wagon. I didn't do any EXTRA exercise I just did what I normally do. I've noticed that I'm hungrier today than I usually am when I haven't overeaten. So as a result I've already had the majority of the calories that I normally have in an entire day. Normally at 430 in the afternoon I will have hundreds more calories left for dinner. Today I have maybe 300. It's okay though, I'll have my Boca burger and veggies and it'll be all good.

So no, I'm not going to the gym to try to burn 1000 calories or anything insane like that, I'm just going to jump back on and keep on going. Surely one day will not erase an overall healthy lifestyle. (I hope) :-)

Thanks guys! I ended up having arroz con pollo. It was a chicken thigh without skin but with bone with yellow rice and black beans. they served fried plantains, I had a piece about thumb sized. I didn't care for the yucca so I didn't eat any of that. I only ate about half of everything. I don't think I did too bad.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Ohhhhhh!!! Got it, thank you!! The item I was logging is a new fiber drink mix made by All-Bran. I got pink lemonade flavor and it's like the mix ins for the water bottle. Get this, it has 10 grams of fiber in one serving. It was by far the most fiber of any of the fiber supplements. However, I find that, unlike Metamucil, it seems to make me hungry. Hmmm. Maybe it's all in my mind. I hope so.

Anyhoo, thanks so much for helping me with that dilemma!!!
