Hey, thank you Jenner. Yeah it does seem like a pain, however I did pick up a simple scale that should do the job until I can eyeball my portions. Thanks again! Lauren

I will definitely check out your recipie for chicken tacos Mrs. P! I am doing well thanks! I hope you get to have Mexican tonight :-p Take Care, Lauren

Thanks Jenner! -Lauren

Hey thanks for chiming in Mrs. P! Yes, I understand the need for portion control, so I will allow a cheat meal here or there on the weekends. My absolute FAV is Mexican food, which I could eat daily, no lie :-p Mmm, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, YUM! Hope you are doing well! Lauren

Hey Girls, I have a question about cheat meals and or days. How many cheat meals do you allow yourselves and what all do you allow yourself to eat? Is having two cheat meals a week too many? Thank you as always :) Lauren

1st and only, I would seriously take Detour5's advice, she know what she is talking about and part of that proof is in her picture. Keep up the good work and you will get to where you need to be.

Hey Detour5, I am glad you're feeling better! Sorry you had a bad night's sleep. I hope tonight is better for you. Have a great weekend too :) -Lauren

You said it Mrs P and Detour5! I am not married, nor in a relationship, nor have any kids at this time, however I am really consumed by my dogs, I have three, and they don't want a mom that is in the basement working out 24/7 and dieting to the point her energy is gone. Thank God for them ;)...

Hey Girls, Do you all weigh your food with a scale? I am thinking I should purchase one and was just wondering if you had any recommendations. I've never weighed my food before, but when I look at sample meals I see the meats, veggies, etc. are all in oz. Thanks! Lauren

Thank you Mrs. and Mr. P :) No worries about Blondie saying she is extreme. We all have to do what works for us. I personally know that when I am extreme in my dieting and exercising that in the long run I crash, and then I feel miserable. I will definitely have my cheat day :-D Life is too...

I really struggle with balancing things...I tend to be extreme, like all or nothing, however I am slowly changing that :) A balance is what I am striving for! Thanks as always Mrs. P! -Lauren

You're right, I cannot live my life so rigidly that is consumes everything I do. I am hoping by getting a healthier plan in motion (I've contacted 3J's and am about to start a plan of his) that I will get past this stumbling block of mine. Btw, you look awesome! I noticed you posted a picture...

Hmm, you should check out needtobuildmuscle.com They have a great selection of products that will really help you increase your energy. I am going to pick up some soon! As for that other side you mentioned, haha, I hear that is very normal ;) Best of luck to you! Lauren

Hey Nerdalert, thank you. Yes, the mirror can be an evil thing at times lol...Thank you though for your support, it means a lot to me. Everyone here has been really amazing and so kind. I have been to other forums for bodybuilding and nutrition and I can say that this one is my absolute...

Thanks so much Mrs. P! You are SOOOO right on about the stupid media...I am getting on the right path tho and I am determined to stay on it :) Hope you're doing well!
