    So I am a starbucks lover. Ladies I caved and let myself have one and once I figured my calories in it I almost freaked out. My usual is a venti skinny white chocolate mocha no whip. and its 450 calories ugh now I am going to the gym for 2 hours and work those calories off and then some. I hope everyone has a great and healthy day. If you have not. Feel free to add me. We are all in this together.

    It is so awesome to see so many of you ladies on here! I am going to start adding friends now since I have some extra time. Feel free to add me too! I really need the support, not getting much at home or from friends.

    I think for exercise today I am going to go clean out the in-laws pool. While every loves to use it, my hubby, kids and I seem to be the only ones willing to get it ready for summer.

    I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    How much water does everyone drink a day.I try to drink half my weight in oz but all I get is around 80oz in.

    I *try* to get in 8 glasses but usually I am somewhere between 6-8 glass of (pure water) on non-workout days. On the days I workout, definitely 8 glasses, if not more.

    Now I don't count tea and flavored waters as "water" in my food diary.

    i want to lose 40lbs... have lost 19 so far but i still can't see much difference. i'm getting a little discouraged but am determined this weight and flab is going to go this time.

    Stick with it!!!

    The hardest thing to do (and trust me I know) is to stick with it even though it seems like there is no progress. The fact that you have shed 19lbs is awesome. Even if you dont "see" it, your inside is doing the happy dance. Less pressure on your bones and joints. Organs functioning much better. Better breathing. All these things you probably don't notice, go a long way in making your body happier, healthier, and responsive to your long term goals.

    what excercises do you guys do ????

    Here is what I do:

    *Tennis, 2 hours @ 2 times a week (provided my partner doesn't flake out on me)
    *C25K program (couch to 5K), 30 min @ 3 times a week
    *Walking, 45 min @ 2 times a week (flexible and will usually do if not playing tennis)

    That's about all the exercise I can stand right about now, lol.

    Hey guys, I am new to the site and need to lose 70 pounds. The number seems quite daunting, but I've finally stopped avoiding mirrors and how I was feeling about myself and thought to myself, "I want this, and I can do this." No more gimmicks, expensive programs, and "deals" with myself to start eating better "tomorrow," "next Monday," next month," etc. It all starts today.

    If anyone would like to connect for motivation, support and whatnot, feel free to add me.

    In the meantime, best of luck to everybody! It's nice to know that I'm not alone, and seeing so many people have all kinds of success is very motivating!

    That's great! I'm only a few days into it, so of course I haven't seen any difference on the scale yet. I'm feeling good about what I'm doing though. I LOVE the support! It is so much eaiser than trying to do this alone. :happy:

    Hi Girls. Just came across this. How's everyone doing. I am soooo looking forward to the day i get on the scale and the numbers are under 200. I seem to be stuck right now going between 270-275. I just keep going up and down. I'm seeing a nutritionist next month. Hopefully when she looks at my food log she'll catch something I'm overlooking. I still think a part of it is the medication I am taking. There are at least 3 that have weight gain as a side effect. Oh well. More exercise I guess.

    I'm in & yes we do need to be using weights because as they say muscle burns fat faster. I have a set of 5lb hand weights & am going to get into the routine of using them daily to get these wings downsized lol.
    Great idea for this group! Thanx! :>
