Man its hard to stick with a program. I can't say I have been very good this year. but who says April 9th isn't a good day to start...well the Maple brown sugar oatmeal I ate for a "snack" that had more sugar than is recommended in a day! So it all starts over with lunch :P I often wonder what are my hang ups and honestly…
Hello everyone! I'm taking the bulls by the horns this morning and starting a new thread hoping that a bunch of us from the board come over here and help each other lose some of the extra weight or just pick up some healthier habits! I'm Brittany (aka Cwiklamama). I need to lost about 75 lbs- but I'm going to try and take…
For example how concerned are you about going over on sodium/sugar/etc.... I am just starting to track and I know I will improve over time, so I'm not stressing too much. Though it is quite the shocker to see the sugar content on some of those foods I thought were good for me (hello 24 g in 1 cup of tomato soup!)
I have been doing 2 miles on the treadmill 5-7 days a week for about 2 years now. I alternate walking and jogging. I upped my mileage to 2.10 miles and jogged a little more on Monday and now I have shin splints. I so don't want to stop excersing because then I really have to cut back on what I eat. My splurge meal is…
I have always heard that making small steps is the best way to stay with this long term- What small steps are you taking- or if you are able to do everything at one (diet overhaul and exercise and give up pop/sweets) then what are your secrets. Thankfully, I'm not a pop drinker, so that's no big deal but I LOVE junk food,…
1200 calories! I went over by over 400 yesterday and I thought I had done awesome. Yikes I have some work to do! I guess if I add some exercize and cut a few things I'm good, but Oh my.... Is anyone active here anymore?
Everyone is doing so great losing weight--but what are your "non-scale victories" you're celebrating? smaller pants, more energy, better skin? Spill it!
I was reading success stories and came across a thread about someone increasing their calories and losing MORE weight. I started to read it and it led me to many other threads. What I have read is fascinating and really makes sense. I keep saying how I look into the mirror and still see so much flab. Yes, I've shrunk…
Hi girls! #1 - I am so proud of all of you girls!! I'm so glad a good majority of us are sticking it out on here and seeing awesome results!! Yea!! :drinker: OK, now, the vent: My husband..ooooh my husband. When I started in January, he decided he was going to try Atkins. While I do not care much for the Atkins plan, I…
I took a photo of myself tonight, I am rarely in pictures. Usually because my double chin is horrible. I pulled up a photo from last summer and compared the two and could not believe the difference! Here is before- I freely admit this is a horrid photo of me, but probably shows what I looked like most days…
