...I have found if i want something sweet i add it in my calories Wal-mart has an Ice cream sandwich that is only 100 caloriers and it is as big as a regular one AND it tastes like the original. I can also get a JR. size frosty from Wendy's and it is only 150. You just have to add it in your calories. As far as binge eating when i want to do that i pop some popcorn and i even get the butter lovers and i mean the full flavor stuff and I eat the entire bag (popped) Guess what it is only 110 calories for the whole bag yes we can have that. it really helps or just fill your house with stuff you can eat not the sweet stuff. Eat pickels they are so few in calories. I have eaten 5 pickels at once just to get rid of the snack monster...
I think I love you.
I'm a huge popcorn lover and pickles...can't get enough of them these days ('course not at the same time, 'cuz that would be really yucky (unless I was pregnant again...which I am SO not!) :laugh: ) I like to ramble sometimes. 0 -

Butterjoy,
Please before you consider this please do alot of research on it and make sure it is right for you. I have seen alot of people succeed on this and I have seen some that get very ill from having it done.
I was going to do it and then I went to a seminar and it was cancelled and something else came up and I never went through with it. I started seeing a dr and he put me on phentermine and I have had so much success on it. I have lost alot and I was also 100 pounds over weight. I am now only 45 pounds over weight, it has been a journey but I am happier now and I am going to keep going. it is all about changing your way of thinking and yes i know it is easier said than done, but it can be done if i can do it anyone can. I have been overweight since i was very young put it this way my mother gave me a gift certifacate to jenny craig on my 14th birthday in front of all my friends. I was only a size 14 then and i went up every year from there. I topped out at a size 24 now i am back down to a 16 and I have not been a 16 since i was 16. i was a size 24 for most of my adult life. I was comfortable there. But I looked at picctures and seen myself and I had to do something. I look better now and feel great, I still have a long way to go but I know I can do it!!!
I know you can too0 -
Hey Joy,
I recently started my weight loss journey, AGAIN!! I started with a trip to the doctor. I was flabbergasted when she commented that she would rather have me eat better than have surgery. It never occurred to me to have gastric bypass or lap-band. I know sometimes it is the only real answer, but think long and hard about all the possible issues. We are here to supoprt you regardless of how you are losing, we all need to learn better ways to eat and care for our bodies.0 -

Eat all you want it is okay to eat them. Just read the back of the bag and remember that you are eating it popped
My boss just looked up if you get a chocolate craving eat a square of the semisweet bakers chocolate it is only 60 calories and it is bitter but it kills the chocolate craving
I am a chocolate lover 0 -
hey everyone just checking in. It sounds like a lot of need some extra suport this week, come on together we can do this.
I have been doing pretty good minus the 3 pieces of pizza last night, It was a pre planned off night as we meet with some friends but I felt so sick afterwards. So not worth it. Thats usally what I do is ask myself before I eat something i know I am going to regret later "is this really worth it". I am the one who has to live wiht my choices later 9.9 out of 10 times the answer is its not worth it, its not woth the weight or the sick feeling, but there are those times that I just don't care. If I deside to eat something I knew not too I am the one who has to live with the outcome. Anyways. I hope everyone is doing great or is making the changes they need to feel great. Love ya

There are some great sugar free pickles on the market, if you don't have to watch your sodium they are calorie free - and they taste better than the ones with sugar. I LOVE them and have them with dinner every night and feel like I'm getting away with something. lol Be Blessed and eat well, smart that is lol Connie0 -

Great Thank you, Connie, I will look for them0 -
I just needed to tell someone that a co-worker asked if I had lost weight today!! I couldn't believe it. Since I don't weigh very often I figure I've lost about 10 pounds. I never expected it to be noticeable. YEAH ME.0
-
Man oh man I just love it here. This group is perfect for me. I am weighing in around 248 and want to get to 160-170. Count me in! I noticed it slowed down a little, everyone still on board???
Today was day 1. I stayed right at my 1200 calories, and walked for 35 minutes on the treadmill at the gym. I am totally in love with Sugar Free jello @10 calories a piece!
Look forward to getting to know you all and posting daily.

Lost 3 lbs! :noway:
I know it's mainly water weight..and the fact that I am not drinking 5 pepsi's a day.
Feeling good, doing good. Got my gym done while Cody was at school this morning.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday!0 -
Checking in...
Well I have amped my workout, and I now go to the gym everyday. I do one hour of weights for the entire body three days a week, and then I do an hour of cardio every day. Lost three pounds last week. I am now reworking my eating habits and I am going to try to eat healthier not just within my calories.
Getting excited for the new season of The Biggest Loser!
I have 65lbs to lose to get back into the military and 75lbs to reach my goal.0 -
An hour of strength training and an hour of cardio? You are my HERO! 0

How are my plus size babes doing????
Did okay today. I ate into my exercise calories...which I am bummed about...but hey it's done and over...now I just need to learn from it.
Have a wonderful weekend!0 -
:frown: Just checking in for the week-end and before the hurricane hits. We live in SW Fl so say a prayer for us, I remember charlie. Anyhow I'm not doing real good, I haven't really been exercising at all and not loging my food. I think I'm within my limit but it's hard to know without keeping track. I hope all of you are doing well, I know the week-ends are hard but hang in there. Love to all and be blessed, Connie

Weighed in this morning...I'm down 3 pounds for the week. I'm glad I still lost after a terrible weekend food wise...yesterday I went way over my calories (almost 1000 calories over)...I had fast food twice yesterday...and I didn't choose healthy items at the fast food places I went...burgers and fries all the way...then today we went out to Hoss's for lunch...in an effort to stay within my calories today, I went to Hoss's website first and checked out the calorie content for the items I was most likely to want...got home and put in the info for everything I ate and was 500 calories over for the WHOLE DAY in ONE MEAL...worked my butt off in an hour long workout and burnt those calories off...now I have 12 calories left and am feeling a bit hungry...hoping to find something extremely low cal yet satisfying for a snack so I won't go to sleep starving...I'm thinking non-flavored or seasoned air popped popcorn...*sigh* back on track tomorrow...don't know what got into me this weekend...0

I had a horrible week all around. TOM for me was this week and I only went to the gym twice. Then as far as food goes, I was good one day and bad the next. Never went over my calories, but definitely wasn't eating right. I had gone up in my weight too - from 169 to 171.5 pounds. But yesterday, I got up and checked the scale and I was, and still am, at 168. Last month I went up four pounds and then came back down. This time I only went up 2.5lbs. and then ended up losing a pound somewhere. Go figure.
I go back to the gym tomorrow. Haven't been since Wednesday. I know it's going to hurt. Oh well, I'll be back on track by the end of the week so it's all good.0 -
Good luck with getting back on track! We can keep each other strong as we face tomorrow...let's stay within those calories and burn a bunch during exercise!0

I am new to this site. I just joined yesterday. I have about 150 lbs to lose and then some but I am starting with that.
I am starting at 297 and would like to at least get to 150. I would love to make that by sept of 2009 but I am sure that is pushing it. We have a big Disney trip planned and 8 days there I need to be in shape. LOL I am so glad for this thread. The one thing that I really need the help with are my sodas. I am so addicted to pepsi and dr pepper. I did really good yesterday and only drink one 16 oz bottle. OF course that is considered 2 servings. OH and I love wendys spicy chicken sandwiches..... Gonna have to stay away from there. I would eat those all the time if I could. SOrry to just go on and on. Im a stay at home and live on the top of a mountain.... Dont see many people unless I go to town which usually means Walmart because there isnt many other places to go lol.

Welcome Connie,
May I make a suggestion on your soda's change from regular to diet then slowly take yourself off of those. I was a 15 year Diet coke drinker and I just went from diet cokes to tea with splenda. It tastes sweet and I get my caffine too. I started at 263 and I am trying to get to 165 and see what I look like there then I am going to maybe go to 155. I know where you are. I have been there and I am losing from there. I was a size 24 and now I am a 16 I am very happy. The people here are great and we will all help you on your jouney.
Okay my check in
okay I did not have such a great weekend as far as eating goes ( well okay i was up to some of my old habbits) I went to a cook out at my friends house and then I went out on a date lastnight and well he took me for mexican food and that is my weakness. I went over my calories but I am notfeeling to guilty about it I just start over today. I have not even come close to a scale today. I am too scared. but i did have a great date it was a first date and those are always awkward but this one was great we had so much fun. He was a perfect gentleman.0 -
Christy, where are you??!! I'm usually just a lurker here (as I also have 50+ pounds to lose) and have loved your enthusiasm and support for those struggling. I noticed you haven't posted since late July - I hope you are well and feeling good! Good thoughts going out to you, thanks for all you've done in this thread, hope you post up again soon!
Be well.....Mike :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -

Hi Connie.
Please hang in there and take care. I will say some prayers for you and your family.
I haven't been around for awhile bc I went waaaaaaaaaay off the wagon. I'm so disappointed in myself. I had 2 good weeks. And I've been embarassed to post on the site bc I screwed up. Ugh! Have to really try to get back on track. Just so down. I know, baby steps. Keep on keepin' on and eventually the food will get under control.
God Bless you and yours with safety in the coming days. When you can, please let us know how you are doing.
Keep on, keepin' on!! :flowerforyou: <hugs>

Hey everyone, its nice to see all of the new people and Christy you need to come back, we miss you.
My week has been crazy, i had a terriable tootyh ache and thats all I focused one, I have not been over in calories but I have been eating crap so I need to get back. My tootyh is good now, I went in friday, no medical insurance though so that was a fun (LOL, JK) day. Gotta love throwing money away $1200, crazy ****, anyways hope everyone is doing while.
I have slowed down due to the start of saggy skin, I figure I will give my body a little while to check up, I would rather be where I was then skinny with saggy skin everywhere. I was losing about 2.5 - 3 a week though I am going to go for 1 lb a week for a while and let everything tighten up a bit.
Oh my boyfriend was so sweet today, we went to a BBQ this weekend with my dad and his new wife and their friends anyways his friend had a little thing that tracked her steps, I still dont know what they are called and I was talking to her about it and how I really want to get one that dose calories too but have not had the time to reserch them or the money to want to buy one and I really did not want a watch one, anyways I get home from work today and he researched them and went and bought me the best one he could afford and flowers, thats so sweet.0 -
Just checking in on this 'lovely' Tuesday! Just wondering how's everyone doing. Sucks here, can't get my motivation to exercise:sad: What do you do to get it kickin? Oh, and welcome to all those new around here, not been here too long myself but, LOVE IT!
Sara0 -
Sara when you figure out how to get motivated will you pleaseeeee tell me. I have had a bad weekend for the last two weeks on my eating and NO EXERCISE. I want to get motivated. I may have gained some weight I will not even look at the scale right now. I have lost 3/4 of an inch but I really don't know if that is real or not but I will take it. I put on my daughters size 14 jeans last night but they are stretch denim and I was happy last night but I have got to get out of this rutt i am in. I have been hanging around friends and they are telling me it is okay to eat what you want every once in a while (2 weeks in a row) i have gone to their house for cook outs. And then I had a date last night and the night before and he took me out for mexican food Sunday night and then BBQ last night and a movie and then he bought popcorn OMG i have been eating terrible.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!0 -
Hello all! i like this topic and plan to keep up with it. Best wishes to all of you!0
