Count me in please. Thanks Janet

I was doing well probably 1-2 lbs a week. Sometimes no weight loss but my clothes were looser. No exercise just more physically moving throughout the day vs sitting. I cut out pop and most sweets. This time it was Thanksgiving that started the excuses. Now my pants feel tighter and my gut that was getting flatter has…

Count me in! Thanks

Friday I was 180.8. I am pretty sure that I gained it back after letting my diet get sabatoged on our weekend vacation. I did lose weight on our work weight in so I get a ticket for the drawing. Hoping to get back to the Y this week. I hate winter it is so hard to wake up in the morning or have enegry in the evening when…

It depends who the person is. If you’re my relative or close friend yes I will say something because I know people who lost limbs and eye sight due to diabetes. It’s interesting because I wonder why people say oh it’s just one donut or this one time won’t hurt to me. Yet if I told them I was diabetic then they would be…

My son is being tested for Charcot Marie Tooth diease. His affects his feet/legs and hands. It is normally herditary and my BIL has it. What information do you need? I found several good resources.

I am still the same weight 181.6. Which isn't bad considering Thanksgiving I ate to many bad foods. I need to learn to stay away from the craft sale bake tables. I try to convince myself that it is for the kids. Most of it is but I caved and had 1/2 a cup cake:( I just get so frustrated being the same size after all this…

181.6 I was hoping for more because I moved alot at work. Hopefully this week I can get into the 170's

I was at 182.6 on Friday. My overall goal weight is 120. Sorry about not checking in.

Take 6 eggs (I am going to try egg beaters next time) and beat together. Add veggies of choice (I use peppers/mushrooms). Mix well then fill in mini muffin tin about 2/3-3/4 full). Eat desired amount and put rest in zip lock bag for later use. Then take out and microwave (my microwave is 30 sec). I personally like egg…

Your day sounds like mine did a few months ago when I had my foster daughters. I tend to stress eat. I did find crystal light focus replaces my mt. dew. Things are easier now but sometimes work is rough or if I am missing the girls then my desire to eat junk increases. Your 6 and possibly 3 year old can help with house a…

That's great!!

great job

This week is rough. I was at 183 and over a few days shot up to 185 again:( Then it appeared to be back to 183 but instead it went to 185:( So I am going to check again tomorrow. See what I get over a few days. I did cave to some Halloween stuff at home and work. Tonight I am going grocery shopping so plan to make alot…

I was wondering the same thing. Although the crystal light I use has 80 mg of caffine for the whole packet so that is more I believe then Mt. Dew. I am addicted to crystal light but if I give it up then I risk drinking pop again (that is never a good thing).

I am 183.3. I actually lost 2 lbs. I had my start weight as 185 but found out there was a scale issue the next day I had to buy a new scale. So now I just use my home scale in the morning for my official weight.

You mentioned cereal. Did you have milk with it? You could be lactose intolerant. I drank milk my whole life now my son and me struggle with drinking milk. I wanted cereal so bad the other day but it is not worth it. Just a thought.

Think of what you like and go shopping for at least a week. Make out a menu for the week and write it down (my friends laugh at it but it helps alot). We make our menu based on busy factor. For example Tuesday the boys have activities so it is roast night or spaghetti (somethink crockpot or under 20 min). Friday is usually…

I'd love to join this group! SW: 183 GW: 163 for 12 week challenge Heigh: 5'0" Thanks Janet

It was zero resistance. I start pedaling and by about the second or third rotation of my legs just that one area hurts. I plan to try it again tonight. I would love to use both machines. More then 40 min on the treadmill is boring so I would love to figure out the elliptical so I have something else to use at the gym.

I know it is rough but your better off not telling anyone till they notice. Some will even try to sabotage you. Whether we do it subconscienously or on purpose many will try and bring you down. I have some tell me great job and then bring a box of donuts in. I found some friends on here (don't have a ton). What really…

I think you may have accidently choosen something else possibly a deviled egg? I added hard boil egg egg white only it was 17 calories and with yolk was 78 calories.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Currently I work at a place walking outside in the neighborhood is not really safe. So walking the neighborhood is not an option:( I use to drive down to the nearby park but the weather will be getting bad soon. They just closed the Y down the street:( I can walk in an empty area at work so…

My husband use the elliptcal and burns more on that. I can't seem to get a good rhytm so I use the treadmill. I just started doing the weightloss program on the treadmill and it took my incline up to 10 and then gradually decreased. That program added an extra 70-80 calories for same time. I normally do 140-150 for 40 min…

Some more ideas. My other breakfast options are 35 cal bread multi grain toasted with peanut butter. (No time pop toast well getting ready, eat on run) Instant maple & brown sugar oatmeal with water only. (1.30 seconds to cook and I usually do this at work before I clock in) Two eggs cooked with frozen veggies microwaved…

This is an idea for a easy breakfast. 6 eggs Mushrooms, peppers, tomotatos etc.. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sauté onions, mushrooms and garlic in olive oil until soft. Set aside. Beat eggs, and mix well. Add onion mixture, sun dried tomatoes, and salt & pepper (to taste). Mix well. Put in greased mini-muffin pans (I…

I am also from Ohio. Near Toledo area. Welcome! Jan

great job

I am like that with Mt. Dew. It is odd any other drink I can have once in awhile when out with friends but Mt Dew for some reason I end up drinking daily. Then when I go to stop it is very painful. The last time I went from 15-20 oz daily to 12 oz. Then I started leaving more and more. Then when I was at 6 oz I switched to…

I will have to try the green tea. I am not a tea drinker but if it helps may have to learn to like it:) I also drink the Crystal Lite. My favorite is the Focus (cirtus flavor) it has caffeine in it so it helped me to kick my Mt Dew habit.
