Do you think I burned off the calories in the beer I drank?
lol, nice topic right? I went out last night and for the first time since the baby acted my age :) I drank about 9 bud lights, but I danced for like 2 hours straight. At 203 lbs do you think I burned up the beer calories? I mean, I know it's too late now to do anything about it, I was just curious. Man, I had such a great…

In the last 2 months have lost 15lbs, now if I am losing it so slow, how does one day of crappy eating bring my weight up by a pound or more. Is it possible to gain 2lbs in a day? I understand…

My Husband thinks it's ok to finish of calories with cheesec
My husband is on this weight loss with me. He feels that since he has leftover calories/fat/carbs he can eat a piece of cheesecake. I don't think this is correct. These are "empty" calories, am I not right?

My Grocery Shopping Day!
I cannot believe it. I spent $130.00 and bought healthy foods. It's not so much the money as I watched the groceries on the conveyor belt and was shocked that everything was "whole wheat/granola/no fat/sugar free. I felt so good. Just two weeks ago I spent about $60.00 on a "junk food" run. Chips, soft drinks, ice cream,…

Is it normal to be so anxious?
I am soooooo excited about this site. I'm totally focused on a healthier way of life. I'm doing everything by the book and have no prob with the eating thing because eating has always been a dreaded task for me and simply "got in the way of my daily activities".

What was your "lightbulb moment"?
When did you realize that you needed to do something about your weight, lifestyle and eating habits? For me, it was when the size 16 jeans I had JUST BOUGHT were too small:noway: :cry: I knew then I had to do something. My grandmother died of a heart attack at age 49, and her weight was a factor. My aunt is also overweight…
