Sorry! Leafs Fan here! :D >:)

Hello Lisa! Fellow Lisa here as well! :) I've just recently started (into my 2nd week). I too have said many, many times that I'm going to lose weight, etc. I think my husband has heard enough. LOL Good luck with your weight loss! We can all use some motivation! Feel free to add me if you like.

Awesome job! You did it before, so you can definitely do it again! Congrats!

Totally agree, and it's not really a huge issue, as I stated (not an alcoholic here), I have decided that I can have a couple on nights/weekends when I want, but I have to make sure I save the calories to do so. If I take it away all together, that's when I will find myself wanting it and probably wouldn't save or plan the…

HOLY CRAP!!!! That deep dish Veggie pizza looks AMAZING!!!!!!! I can just imagine the calories in that!

Love this! Thank you :)

Thanks SingRunTing - I'll look into that

I think about 10 - 15 lbs and I would be happy!

Wow! I actually teared up reading that. So powerful. Thank you for sharing! Kudos to that Mom for teaching her son a very valuable lesson.

Welcome back! Feel free to add me. I'm fairly new to this as well. I'm trying to lose about 60 - 70 lbs!

Welcome Back and Good Luck! Wow 151 lbs. That's fantastic!

I'd like to know this as well. No point in getting a scale that doesn't work properly. Good Morning Fellow Canadians!! :D

Thank you all so very much for the encouraging words, help, and advice! I will take everything that has been said here and really try to stay on track. If I happen to veer away, I'll just find my way back and try not to be so hard on myself! :D

Thank you! I'm really going to give this a try! I was just saying to a friend of mine, this weeks goal - (to start) Leave my money at home on Wednesday night! Can't buy beer without money! Hey, at least that's a start!

Wow! Congratulations! 80 lbs seems so far away for me, and I'm sure it is. I'm sure it seemed that way for you too. That's awesome!

Thank you all so very much for the support. I feel good... today at least that I can do this! One step at a time!

LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you!

It's funny. Every night I go to bed and I tell myself, "That's it!!" "I'm so done, and I am going to do this!" Wednesday comes along and it's my dart night. I think, "What's a couple of beers?" I come home, get the munchies, and eat! :( I'm good Thursday and Friday - come Friday night after a long week at work... Hubby has…

Thanks. That helps a lot!

Thank you 999tigger. Very well said!

SingRunTing - thank you! This makes a lot of sense. Can you explain what exactly TDEE stands for? I changed my stats to reflect my proper weight, goals, etc and decreased my lbs per week to 1 lb and my calories did increase from 1200 to 1410. I think I'll try this for now, maybe for this week and see what I feel like at…

Thanks Minnie, I'll try for more protein and fiber and see if that makes a difference.

You've hit it dead on the nail 999tigger! I do lack confidence for sure. Never had any confidence since I was a little girl. I "think" I can do this, but then I think it's unattainable. I read the success stories here from people and I think, "Why isn't that Me?" I have NO will power, and I freely admit that. I DO want to…

Thanks everyone! I'll give the 1410 Calories a day a try for this week and see if that helps me feel better. I'll have to find foods to eat that lasts longer (keeps me full longer) and see if that helps as well.

Okay, so I fixed all my stats to say what they SHOULD say. Chose the 1 lb option and it upped my calories to 1410 per day. Do you think that is still too low?

Okay, I'll change it to 1 lb a week and see if that helps.

I gave my stats on another thread that didn't really go too far, so I'll post them again. Sex - Female Age - 42 Height - 5' 1" Weight - 205 lbs I set my goal for 2 lbs per week, but then I think I dropped it to 1.5 lbs per week and I don't think it moved my calories up any.

My profile says 35 lbs because 80 - 90 just sounded like an absurd amount of weight to lose and not really realistic! I am very obese actually, and the 80 - 90 is really what I need to lose. Although, I think if I lost 80 - 90 lbs, I'd be too thin... so I think in reality, it's probably about 60 lbs that I think I would be…

Hey Babs! Add me as a friend and I can share my diary with you. I'm looking for some ideas too!
