Ok Guys and Gals,

You all totally inspired me today when I really needed it! I was feeling the drain of the deficit, and started the download slope of a bad mood and then just decided to get my ass in gear and head to the gym, and now I’m so glad I did, so thank you!

@Carrie: Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs – OMFG, I did not know these exist. How delishly eeeeveeeel LOL

Keep Truckin everyone!! You are all doing fantastic!

@Luke: Thanks so much for that article it really helped me on my way to pulling myself out of this funk. It is very frustrating when I feel like I’m working so hard and yet I’m still “the fat chick”.

@carrie: you have so inspired me to make something in the kitchen over the weekend!

@luke: thanks for that link. it was very inspiring and reassuring.

its so hard to see progress, because when you think about it, you look at yourself EVERY DAY. like when you run into someone you haven’t’ seen in a while, and they say “wow, you are totally ripped now” and you’re like, “…huh?” it would be awesome if we could get by by just seeing ourselves once a month or so so we can actually perceive the changes being made. but alas, i also like making sure my hair doesn’t look like crap.

Great work again, everybody! Keep it up!

Hey Courtney, I know how you feel. It seems like at first, you just can’t see any results. Alwyn Cosgrove had a great blog post a while back. I can’t find it since he moved his blog to his personal site, but I found it on another guy’s blog right here: http://fitandbusydad.blogspot.com/2008/04/paper-towel-theory.html

You should really read that. It’s a GREAT analogy explaining why it is hard to see results at first. Stick with it, though! The visual results will come.

@Carrie: Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs!! It was always a great Easter morning when I’d find one of those nestled between rows of Peeps in my basket.

@Everyone: Great job, people!

Tim,
Check out LoseIt! from the app store. I’ve been using it for over a year and I really, really like it. You can customize your caloric intake up or down from the recommended amount they give you, there is a page where you can track your macronutrient ratios, and they have lots of food from both restaurants and grocery stores already in it. You can enter all your own custom foods, as well as recipes. Hope that helps!
Keep up the great work, everyone. I really look forward to getting everyone’s updates.
Also, Carrie, you are gorgeous! I would kill for those long legs of yours..
