Quitting Smoking while Dieting
Has anyone else out there tried to quit smoking while they were dieting? I'm on day two now and not doing to bad. I was really hoping that this would be a great time. That way I wouldn't have to worry about gaining the dreaded weight that almost always comes when you try to quit. Any ideas to make it easier are welcome.

I have a 'freak out' weight of 150
I have a weight number in my head that starts screeching like a blasted smoke alarm when I get close to it... 150... and that is when I have to stop kidding myself and actually do something about it. I've gotten close twice before and then of course I gained it back. There are ways to stay at a healthy weight and not…

Just when I feel like I've been having a great week, I hurt myself. Seems as though I've pulled something in my foot and my trainer says I have to stay off it for a couple days in order for it to heal properly. Do you guys have any advice for staying motivated?

How Many Pounds?
I found this cool little site out there (maybe you've seen it) that kind of puts how much weight you have lost or plan to lose into perspective. I hope it helps to motivate you like it did me! It is also kind of cool to see your progress in other "tangible" terms than the mirror or scales!! Enjoy! :happy:…

My personal 5 week challenge..any joiners?
Ok, so my biggest downfall is sweets at night. So until April 1st (38 days) I am giving up sweets. Cookies, chocolate, candy, etc. I am also including in this snacks after 7 PM. I feel like my weight loss will be more significant and allow me to regain control over my eating habits. I am not giving these things up forever,…

Results from a Team Goal
I was a wee disappointed at my weigh-in yesterday because I had gone down to 162.5 during the week but was at 163.5 at Monday weigh-in. But then I found the 5-pound a month February group that I had joined (and then forgot about...) at the beginning of February. And I had listed this: February 1st weight: 168.5 Goal for…

Can anyone relate?
I have been trying to lose weight since Feb last year after the birth of my son. I was weighing in at 231 and now a year later I am 248. I have barely been dedicated to my programme for more than a week straight before I derail and just stop caring. Then the next day I start afresh again only to not follow through yet…

Beautiful Blues February 22, 2010
Here's this weeks chart--if I didn't hear from you I left you the same. Hopefully that is ok. It's been a frustrating morning. The bank got another offer on the house and so they are going to consider it instead of just sealing our deal. They gave us until 5 tonight to come back with our best offer--thats what we already…

For all the quit smokers (and why we gained!)... craving
I want a cigarette so badly right now it's stupid. Constant constant constant fight and its tiring. Chocolate helped for a while - and then I gained 20 pounds. Go fig, right.

Seeking Some Support
I have been posting on these boards on & off for some months now. Last week I came to the conclusion that all I have been doing is BSing and not doing what I have to do. My husband finally brought the treadmill my mother gave me to the house this weekend. I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday. I plan on…
