How often do you keep track - weekly/monthly?

I tend to weigh myself every day - because there's a feeling that if I miss one day then it may snowball i.e. you not knowing how much you weigh or how bad it is - so i'd rather have that "check" each day.

Kira, frankly, if you continue dieting like this, you wont lose much weight.

It's soda of course but it has no sugar. The only disadvantage is that it uses sweetener which isn't so healthy as well. I'll try cutting back. I don't usually have it this often per week but feel like I needed to be rewarded for sticking to the diet

that's not FAT, that's just fat....

This is why she didnt want to post her pic in the first place. Good job, guys

Wha? you have msn? @_@

Could someone suggest a simple weight/strength program that I can do in the mornings for about 20 - 25 minutes? Is it not worth it to do one that that's short?

Sidenote - I may not like the lack of change in the scale/weight but people have started telling me that i look like I've lost weight - "are you on a diet?" or "are you trying to lose weight?" .. yippee! 

Cardio when body's stone cold is blergh.

yay , keep up with the tempo , once i start sweating i dont feel like stopping .

Don't you guys find it hard to say "No" to your mom/wife/grandma when she makes you food .. making sure to have it ready for you after work? I feel like I'm being such a bad daughter if I say I don't want to taste even a little of it.

if they are worried, tell them the menu and lie about it if you have to

May regret this later but .. well, here we go .. progress picture!

Late Dec 06 (172+) versus 11 May 07 (162 - 163)

Notice a difference in my upper arms - shoulders, mid-section quite a bit. My collarbones (clavicle) are surprisingly starting to show up in the pictures I just took. Very cool!

Major work still to be done
- Thighs (serious work)
- Upper Arms (from behind - triceps)
- Back (above the bra line)
- Mid-section (but pretty okay with how it's progressing)

don't really need to compare with others all the time... as long as you're progressing, its good.

Breakfast @ 8:30 - 9
1. Multi-grain (high 5?) bread w/ cheese (1 slice) = 1/2
2. Coffee
3. Tic Tacs

Snack @ 11 - 12

Snack @ 1 - 2

If I take protein shakes as my only source of protein [on most days] is this okay?

Also a query about fish oil and fat loss/muscle building - is it like all that "cod liver oil" stuff that mom used to make us eat? Or is it pills and something different?
