Congrats!! I was so excited the day I was doing wii fit and it told me I was overweight instead of obese. I was so proud of myself. Keep up the good work!!

Me too, I really wanted Tara to win, but not only that, Helen is too skinny now, she looks anorexic, what kind of message does that send? Not to mention while she was working so hard to get anorexic at home so she could win the show what did she do for her daughter? Nothing, Shanon lost weight but if her mother would have…

Good for you. That's great!! I'm also looking forward to nice weather for walking more and doing other outside activities with my son. Just keep doing your best and you will keep seeing results.

The Islamic fast really is not that bad. You're right in that we only fast during the daylight hours, and we have to refrain from both food and drink, as well as other things. What many people don't know is that a part of our fast is that we are supposed to take a pre-dawn mean called suhoor. It is not safe to fast without…

Your fast includes being able to drink? I sometimes fast for religious reasons, and the fast is nothing to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset, so I just make sure I eat a good breakfast and drink lots of water in the morning before I begin my fast. Then after I break my fast I allow myself a bigger (higher in calorie)…

Yes.

On some rices it says how much dry and what it would equal when cooked. For example the basmati rice that I use the serving size is 1/4 cup dry which is about 3/4 cup cooked. Normally if the serving size on rice is 1 cup that means cooked, because if you take 1 cup of dry rice and cook it there will be double or triple the…

I saw this on yahoo yesterday and it does look really good.

Go for a walk when you feel the urge to eat something, or chew some gum. Also it could be you're not drinking enough water? I know they say sometimes you feel like eating but really what your body needs is water.

I also watched tonight's episode. Clearly Joelle has some mental issues. I think she must be delusional, she really thought that she put her best effort this week? Every time they showed her she was wandering around doing nothing but looking at other people work out.... then she plays the victim. Carla should've stayed and…

I read that it's 8-10 hours a day while they're on the ranch.

My mom used to do stuff like that to me.... like bring me home a sandwich from chick- fil-a and I would ask her why she would do that when she knows I'm trying to lose weight and count my calories. And she would say 'then don't eat it', knowing I can't resist it. I asked her why she didn't want me to lose weight, that I…

Someone bought this in my house. I haven't used it yet. It had great user reviews on amazon.com, I just haven't been able to get to it yet. Looking forward to doing it on my days off. Will come back and let everyone know how I make out.

Thanks... my son has Wii. I used to do Wii Fit a lot in the summer, but then I had a herniated disc so I couldn't for a while. I'm all healed now and have been for a while, but was hesitant to get back into it... I did it once in the past month.. :S Someone bought me 'my fitness coach'. Can't wait to try it out, it had…

Well, just wanted to say that I've lost 10 lbs. I was so happy this morning when I weighed myself for my weekly weigh in.... I didn't expect to lose any weight or even to gain a lb because I didn't eat the best foods this week, so you can imagine my joy and surprise to have lost 1 lb. It was so encouraging. I've lost 10…

my coworker actually made these cookies before and they were really good, and I'm not a fan of cookies or sweets.

I made this last week and really loved it with some white rice. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations. I hope I can maintain the type of determination and motivation as you have, and I hope that in 5/12 months I too can say that I've lost 50 lbs already.

I work 2 nights a week, 7pm-7am. I just try to plan ahead for my food at work, including snacks, and try to eat breakfast while I'm still at work, about 5 am. That way I'm not eating when I get home before I go to sleep. It's so convenient to just get fast food, but those are the worst because the calories in one meal…

My goal is to lose 60 lbs out of the 80 that I've gained in the past 3 years. I'll know when I get there when I'm happy to see myself in the mirror and the scale says that I weigh 148 lbs. Not sure what I'll do to celebrate. I think I'll maybe invite all my friends over to see that I got my old self back, probably buy some…

Thanks. Even just with doing the food and getting my calories right, and not drinking and sodas or iced tea is making me feel better about myself and my weight loss. I know it's going to take time and effort and commitment, but for the first time I actually believe that I can do it! :happy:

Thanks everyone for the welcomes... And thank you for this suggestion, I will check out at the library if they have anything like this... I have the Wii fit at home, and the other day I decided that until I can get myself "into" working out regularly, I can do 15 minutes a day either at night in the morning, so then that…

Hi I've joined the site about a week ago.... I was 128 lbs 3 years ago. I've gained about 80 lbs in 3 years. I would like to lose 60. So far I've been doing very well with the food diary and the calories, just not so well in getting myself motivated to do some exercise, with the long hours that I work and just lack of…
