    Count me in... I don't understand how everyone I see drops pounds like crazy the first few weeks. I'm still lucky to even get a full pound a week... ok, um i haven't even done that. So i'll be apart of any group willing to assist in the removal of all excess physical baggage.

    me too!! I need to lose at least 100lbs!
  • Hello, I wanted to inform you about Take Shape For Life which is a wonderful way to kick off the start of losing weight. TSFL is a support program for those who are wanting to lose weight or simply eat healthier. Medifast Meals have been recommended by over 20,000 doctors nation wide as a healthier alternative to losing weight. The meals are high protein, low carbohydrates which will put your body into a "Mild" ketosis state meaning a mild starvation. What that means is your body will not have "glucose" your bodys fuel so instead turns to fat for energy. Your adipose tissue is broken down creating ketones which is then used for energy. This program is wonderful for anyone. Unless you have major medical issues that need to be addressed by your physician this would work for you. At least check out my website to find out more. Many questions can be answered there.

    Hello. Ahhh today I am cleaning house Woohooo!!! Well not really woohoo but trying to get motivated. I've had yucky allergies all week so I have not really wanted to do much. Tonight I am bbq'ng. Making simple burgers and hot dogs, but I always grill a ton of veggies. There is just something about the taste of fresh veggies cooked on the grill mmmmmm. Pretty much won't be doing a whole lot. I still have to finish my part of a team paper for school and again no motivation. It will come to me I'm sure. Funny thing is I don't really have to write alot for the team paper, I just don't have the motivation to do it. I am so burnt out on school, but I keep reminding myself a little over 2 weeks and I am completely finished. Hopefully that will work. :) Hopped on the scale and lost 0.6. Its a start!!

    Hi ladies!
    I have lost all my weight from proper nutrition and tons of sweat. Read my blog if you want! You will find the link on my profile page. ( Maybe its still below too, I forget)
    Please do not think you can't do this, cause you most certainly can, dig deep down and find that inner strength that you need and know that you are worth it.
    I am so happy with life, I wake up everyday so happy that I get to have this new life in this new body, I want everyone to feel as wonderful as I do, cause I once felt as hopeless as some of you do now.
    You all can do this!

    Hello Everyone! Boy this group has taken off, hasn't it? :love: I'm so proud of the honesty displayed by everyone, so I suppose I have to be honest about myself. I've only lost 1 lb in 10 days, but I'm weighing myself tomorrow. I'll be happy if its only 2/10 of a pound, cuz its progress. I have a lot of extra time on my hands, (not married, not a mother, no job, either !! So spending time on here has been a great substitute for snacking all day. I even went to the grocery store today and didn't buy any treats, diet pop, or anything tempting at all. With your help, I'll stay on here and keep moving forward.
    Hugs,
    Ellen

    Someone mentioned we needed a chat room. I can set up a chatzy if anyone is interested.
  • I'm so in! I've broken my ticker into smaller goals, then as I reach each, I decrease the goal weight. I have another 113 pounds to go to hit my final healthy range. You've all inspired me that I'm thinking about putting the whole damn thing on the ticker at once. (Gasp - that seems very overwhelming.)

    Thanks to each of you for the inspiration to keep going. :0)

    Don't feel bad Ellen sometimes the scale just doesn't move fast. I just keep telling myself at least it is not going up. I am thinking anyday now my scale will move a couple of pounds.
  • I'm in! I've lost 53 so far but I've got another 100 to go.

    Ahhhh the end of the day is here. It was a rough one. We were so tired when we got home last night I completely forgot to give my son his medication and boy could I tell it today. He was talking about 100 mph and so loud I am sure the people at the end of the street could hear him. He was bouncing off the ceilings. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! So glad it is bedtime for him!! So I had my little bbq and I had bought these dutch potatoes. They are small and their skin is not real thick and they are a yellowish color. I cut them in half, drizzled some olive oil, salt, and pepper on them, then wrapped them in foil. OMG they were so good. And so I looked at the nutritional guide because I remember when I used to get them they were low in ww points. Six of these potatoes are only 80 calories! Ahhh and I grilled corn on the cob which I love straight off the grill, no butter, nothing, just plain. I had forgotten how good and sweet it is on its own. :)

    Boy now I want those potatoes and corn. Yum.
    This week my goal is to exercise at least 5 times and to keep eating good.
    Does anyone else have any goals for the week?

    Ok so I'm a little frustrated. I have the Wii EA Sports Active and the more workouts and the Biggest Loser for the Wii. Well, my Wii broke. I am suppose to send it in with $85 and wait 3 weeks for it to get fixed. Problem is, I don't have $85 right now because I am a struggling single mom/student. So, I need to come up with other ways to work out. I could go walking, but then would have to listen to my son complain the whole time.

    Ok, the potatoes are called: Melissa's Dutch Yellow Potatoes. They come in a small red bag and everything is written in English and Spanish on the label :)

    Have a good day!

    I am sure we want anyone, man or woman, who needs to lose. We all know it is hard here otherwise we wouldn't all have over 100 pounds to lose.
    I made it to the gym today and did my workout. Yeah. Still hate:explode: it with a passion but I am sticking to it. Boy the weekend went way to fast.

    hi everyone, I've been working real long hrs. the last few day. 12 and 16 hr. night shifts I'm tired and have been doing poorly on my eatting. The most of my exercise has been happening at work, and I just feel out of sorts and need some encouragement to get back on track! I'm going to start my day now with a nice health breakfast and then go for a walk, maybe that will help me feel better. I have one more night of work to go but hopefully it will just be my 8hrs. Then a few days off to get back on track!!
