Lazy me
I have to admit I haven't been really focused on me lately, ok for the last 6 weeks or so. I have steadily gained back 10lbs since my summer vacation last year, over the course of a few months. I am so ticked off at myself for doing this. Today is a new day, back in action, eating what I should and I feel great. I made a…

Is it mental??
I have been on my diet for almost two weeks and I must say I have been doing very well. Earlier this week I went to lunch with two of my friends, I didnt finish my meal but I ate a little more that have lately needless to say I felt sick the rest of the day. Tonight after dinner I felt so full that I had to throw up. But…

Help! Frustrated
I am new at this! I started on this site a week ago but two weeks ago started counting calories and upping my workouts! I hit the treadmill 6 days a week, take a weight lifting class 2-3 times a week, and do pilates 3 days a week. I have really been staying on the calorie intake and NOTHING is happening! In fact, I went up…

Weekend Trouble
I do awesome through the entire week, but as soon as the weekend hits I just fall apart. I didn't even log Saturday or Sunday. I didn't exercise either day, and I didn't keep track of what I ate. And it makes it so much harder on Monday to get back into the routine. I feel like everything I accomplished last week has been…

MIL's on board!!!
well I finally did it!! I emailed my Mother-In-Law and asked her if she would be willing to try some new Lower-Calorie Recipes that I had found online. I sent her a link to a healthy recipe website. They came over last night to pick up some stuff and she said she'd try to find some healthier meals, snacks and desserts.…

I'm so hungry
I started this 3 weeks ago. The goal is 17 lbs lost by next may. after the first 2 weeks i lost 4 lbs, and i'm rather happy as the clothes fit really well and i feel good. But for the 3rd week nothing really happened - to be fair, i went away for a long weekend and i think busted by diet by more than a couple of hundred…

It's taunting me!!!
I am at a pretty big "goal" week and of course my monthly visitor has just arrived. I weigh on Thursday's...so we will see how it affects it by then. My goal?? I was 202 last week. I started at 270 in September. I thought getting to or under 200 would take FOREVER!! I want to be at least 199 SOOO BAD!!!!!! It might have to…

The dreaded plateau
All I have to say is, my poor husband had to listen to my cry for 30 minutes last night because I didn't lose any weight or inches this week. 10 pounds in a month, and then nothing. :sad: I went through some older posts, and this is my plan of attack: 1. I am going to go to the gym 4x a week instead of 3. 2. Instead of 45…

Diet Devotion - March 11
Genesis 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. When I was little, I just hated to be alone. I was afraid of being by myself. When my family got a dog,…

OMG
I never thought I would post on here but I guess I need to vent....against myself. I hit rock bottom tonight! :sad: I've just started tracking my eating and exercising for the last week and a half and it started out pretty easy. It's interesting to track my food and try to stay within my recommended calories. I was even…

can it be--real loss this week
I have been bothered because I have not been able to lose weight in about 6 weeks. When I write it, it doesn't seem long, but I'm impatient and thought I'd lose something. So, I weighed today after some changes in behavior from weeks past. For one, I exercised mainly through household chores and a little cardio, but not…

Back from the brink
Phew! That was a close one. I let myself get wayyyyy too hungry today, so by the time I hit Trader Joe's at 4pm I was STARVING and dangerously close to stuffing myself. I know the pattern now -- stuffing myself with healthy food (or pseudo-healthy stuff, like bananas with peanut butter, turkey on whole wheat, raisins,…

Had to tell someone...
I knew everyone here would understand. I have been wearing a size 20 then drifted into a 22 and stayed there for a while. then I started this site and an exercise program on Jan 16th. Since then I have lost 17 pounds. This week end I decided to go out and buy pants 2 sizes lower figuring I could fit into them soon and I…

I quit before i even really started...
So I was super excited to get fit and lose weight...and then after a week I just quit. Not for any reason. I still want/need to lose the weight. I am still getting married in a year (so i still need to look hot in my wedding). I just stopped watching waht I ate and stopped exercising! It is STUPID!!! It isn't even that…
-
Woohoooo!!
This morning I decided to try on a pair of size 12 jeans that I haven't been able to wear in about a year (been a 14 or a 16 since then) They fit!!! Maybe I can "back into" a new wardrobe. My closet is full of clothes that I have been too big to wear!

Go me :-)
So I met a friend for lunch today and they didn't have much time to eat so we went to McDonald's :noway: BUT I made a really healthy option by having a grilled chicken caesar salad with low fat dressing and no croutons which only came to 240 cals and 9g fat. I'm so happy, for once I wasn't even tempted by the fries!!! A…

Way off..way off
Ooops...I started a graveyard shift for some temporary work that came available. Alone that messed up my schedule and body. BUT, unbenounced to me, the midnight shift gets catered food: Chicken wings, prime rib, BBQ, mac & cheese, cobbler, bread pudding, fried shimp, you name it. Hard to resist. AHHHHHHHH.

Diet Devotion - March 9-10
March 9 Psalm 138:7 Thought I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. I went through a terrible time when I first started dieting. Every once in awhile, I would get light-headed and my knees would buckle. It…

Finally
Finally!!!! :smooched: I lost the 4 lb that had found me in the last month. So maybe that means I am back on track. I’m going to work hard this week and see if I can see at least part of that other 4 lb I gained back in January go away. Thank for the support

All hail water weight! LOL!
Just like the first time I lost weight, the water weight never ceases to amaze me. I am down five pounds quickly... and while I know it's only water weight this early in the game... it's still a source of inspiration! Go ME! LOL! :laugh:

Don't mean to brag!!!!!
I know this is going to sound like bragging but I am pretty excited. I have been wearing a 20 -22 for about 9 years now. Today I tried on a pair of jeans that were a size 14 that were a little tight at first but after I walked across the room the fit just fine a little snug but I figure if I keep working out and making…

THIS WORKS!!! 5lbs gone first week...
I wanted to share, because I am quite excited, and because I thought it illustrates that this programme WORKS... ...and I am usually the worst dieter, quit before I see a pound gone, and am very good at indulging... I weighed in today, and 5 lbs are gone after the first week! I knew I felt quite a bit better, but 5 lbs! I…

Magazines, TV, Radio, always telling us how fat we are and all we have to do is take a pill?? It is TOOOO much stress. Most of us are moms full time and have a…

ready to give up
I know you have all heard my whining before, but I am soo discouraged. I have been working very hard at this since Dec 31, and as of today I have not lost one pound. I have increased my exercise. I eat most of my exercise calories. I have even gone over calories for about a month now, thinking I might be in starvation…

inspiration
Initially, I just wanted to loose 10. In the back of mind I was hoping for 25 but I thought 10 is good, for me, for now. Well I am currently 15 lbs lighter and well on my way to being a better me. When no one noticed the weight-loss I was inspired by the lack of understanding. When people started to notice I started to…

I HATE DIETING!!!
Why is it so rubbish having a outlook on food like me. I can be really good at losing weight but as soon as I fall "off the wagon" thats it - I will eat everything in sight. This used to be under control until I had my two lovely babies. I used to range from 8 stone to 9.5 stone (doesn't sound much but I am only a little…

ALL THE TIME... i know what i need to do to lose weight, but ever since then, i havent had ANY self control... i dont really know how to…
