  • Amazingly, down 7 in first 2 weeks. Pretty shocking as I've had a few really bad days. But mostly been doing well, working out every other day or so, and trying to make better choices. Right now I'm 265 starting at 272. I should be able to get near 255 doing what I'm doing, but for 10 years I've had a road block to lose…
  • OK, back from my trip and I'd probably give myself a B or B+. I ate pretty well, I did keep my diary going (although not 100% complete), I worked out hard 1x but did a tremendous amount of walking all day. A couple nights after going for about 16 hours straight I succumbed to the call of the cupcakes.... But I weighed in…
  • Ireintsma - Glad you can relate to the mood/depression issues. I actually already feel a slightly lessened urge to use the anti-anxiety. That's progress. Over time I'd really like to come off my diabetes meds, and last the depression meds. I'm taking these due to some extremely hard life lessons. I now see them as a…
  • Rocardy - Lots of great info and encouragement from you - Thank You! I will try to actually get to the health club at hotel Monday and Tuesday (Sunday and Wed. impossible). And I'm trying to do exercises at the gym I can do anywhere - esp. push ups and situps - so no matter what I should be able to do those. Thanks again
  • Thanks ppj! a little frustrated because I'm staying pretty close to my calories and working out and not really losing any weight. Especially in the beginning it seems like it should come out faster.

  • Another "help me please" question. OK, I've had a pretty good start this week. Generally calories are in check, getting to workout. But I also travel for work a lot and I've got a 4 day convention coming up next week. #1 - I cannot exercise in the early AM, just does not work for me #2 - My schedule is not always my own.…
  • Can anyone tell me if I can reply to all your awesome comments on the computer vs. on my phone app? I cannot see the messages on the computer, and it just makes it easier to reply with a real keyboard. But there were some great comments, thank you all for the support so far! It is truly what I need. Hoping you all have a…
  • Yup, I believe it. I had a great day going, and kinda blew it last night - I was over by about 300 cals. Was ridiculously hungry all day - probably due to new eating style and working out. Still way better than I've done in a long time, so live and learn, back to the gym today.
  • So much great advice and support here - I really cannot tell you all what it means, especially just getting started. When I lost 50 pounds 10 years ago I had a lot of online support through Weight Watchers online groups. It was a key part then, and I'm hoping with your help it will be a major factor in staying on this…
  • The time is now, so I think I'll go to the gym on this cold day. Hope you all are having a good day. It's just a matter of creating a calorie deficit...
  • To all of you who replied - Thank You - it's meant more to me than you'll know. I DO know how to do this, but just can't seem to string together enough "wins" to make the weight drop and then get really motivated. You all are right about doing it even when I don't feel like it - that's a huge issue with me. I feel like I…
  • Adam - you get 21 meals (if you eat 3x/day all week). One pizza binge a week won't negate the other 20. Enjoy your pizza big time, the important thing is don't beat yourself up if you do eat it, forgive yourself, be kind, and move forward.
