Did I meet yesterdays goals- yes did i stay within my nutritional goals yes what did I do that I was proud if- my boss eats all the time and weighs 105 lbs she brings out the piggy in me, but we did inventory last night and since I had already had dinner, I had a protein water mixy thingy instead of the 1/2 dozen cookies…

So here I am again and I met all my goals for yesterday and gained 4 ounces!!?? :devil: I am getting very disheartened because in all of the weight that I have lost I have only lost 2 sizes so I don't feel like I am going as far as I could. I am stepping up my walking to at least 3 times a week and the elliptical at least…

Hey, this is great for me. I hope you don't mind if I join in. Did I reach yesterdays personal goals? No Did I stay within my nutritional goals? No What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did not eat past 10pm even though I worked until 1:30 am What would I have done differently? Stick to the great plans that I make…

Water all on it's own really doesn't do anything. Try drinking hot lemon water though. It helps your body flush sodium and that helps to flatten your belly. Is it lost fat? NO! But exercise and healthy food will make up for the rest. Sodium sodium sodium. Try to eat less than 2500g (or mg can't remember) per day and you…

9 days down and looking forward to the rest of this month. I have been working really late lately so this month has been a huge challenge. anastacha63- great job! dewdrop- you are so motivational. Thanks for always being there. zaza- nice to see you here. I'm so glad there are still so many familiar names and so many great…

OMG!!!! I cannot tell you guys how much I've missed being able to talk to everyone every day. I am going to start the no snacking and today is my day 1. cut off time 9pm I haven't been doing that great, but with everything going on and stress, I have lost more weight than I thought I had gained (if that makes sense). So…

So I had foot surgery and I can't run or even walk long distances. So I have discovered a few exercises that are low-no impact and still can deliver some results. yoga, and stationary biking has done all right for me but I am definitely looking for something else, since I think after a few months of these I am getting used…

lauraalberts- if you go to tools, you can find the ticker to track your weight loss, also, welcome!! 9 lbs in one month, that is amazing!! You definitely picked the right thread to be involved with because these folks are amazing and there is always new people who struggle with the same issues, and people like grammymax,…

Day 5 for me!! Doing great? No.....too lazy/tired to eat :laugh: phatphanny, don't leave us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:frown: Mkae yours no late night JUNK food eating so you can hang out with us cool kids still, cause believe me, I need you!! Zaza- Thanks for starting this month. I hope I give you guys a run for your money!!…

I'm back in for May. My cutoff is 11 pm when i work past 9 and 9pm when I work normal hours. i spent last month organizing the relay for life in my workplace and since I have over 100 employees between my two stores, I had my hands full, since we got a lot of family members who wanted to participate, so all in all, we have…

oops. What I meant to say, was I'm glad everyone is doing well. I'm off to bed. Have a great Monday!! :bigsmile:

So it seemslike forever since I have posted. Having a very busy month. I've been doing great all month, but I haven't been counting. April and May are big months for volunteer work for my family so we have gotten home late a lot. Not to mention work of course. I'm glad to see tha

wow!! Everyone is doing great!! I am on day 7 today. Have been really tired so I have been going to bed really early after my workout. I have actually gained 5 pounds but lost almost 8 inches !!:huh: Keep up the great work everyone. Even though I don't check in as often as I'd like to, i can see all the great things that…

whoops I forgot:blushing: I am on night 3, I had a little wine incident. I had the calories, but not the time. Sounds like some of us are doing great though. I'm really proud of you guys and on one hand hope i can catch up, but on the other hand, hope you all keep doing well, and I stay behind:wink: Good luck for the day…

stopping eating by 4pm is a great plan if you can keep up your calories, and if you're not a habitual night time snacker like all of us here. It's not a great idea to jump right into something like that because you set yourself up for failure. I tried it, failed at least twice a week, and once I ate after 4pm, I went crazy…

day 1 down and day 2 is not scary at all!! I have to go to the gym yet, but I am looking forward to having a good workout.:bigsmile:

P.S. any new comers welcome!! You won't find a better thread out there, or one that will do more for your waistline!!

I'm so in!! I did pretty good last month so I am making my new cut off time 8 instead of 9, and 9 instead of 10 on the weekends. I definitely am wishing for great weather, but the longer I rest after my surgery the better. I still can't do much actual exercise, so I am watching my calories big time this month. Didn't gain…

Welcome laughytaffy, Great to have you along. I am on day 23 tonight, but I have to goback in to work at 10:30 pm until 2 or 3, so I know that i will probably eat junk just to stay awake since I got up at 5am today!! wish me luck! i hope allof you have a great night!! I am so excited for April!

dewdrop you have been doing so great phatphanny- It looks like you are going to be the winner. I think the both of you are simpy inspirational to me and I thank goodness for you both. :flowerforyou: Everytime I want to snack, I get on here and see you guys doing so well and I feel better. Still hungry, but better:laugh:…

work was rough today. 10 hours and had way too many calories. I had to make a snack for my employees and I made cheesecke bites.:explode: Lucky there's any left to take to work:embarassed: I hope everyone is having a great day.

mossmommy- I am having the same trouble since I have had to stop high impact exercise. I try to save about a hundred and fifty calories and at night I have a protein snack bar ( special k chocolate, yummy) and an apple sliced into 12 pieces. I eat for about 15 minutes even though it's not a lot of food, but the time factor…

day 18 is under my belt, and here I come for 19. I'm feeling a little better Dewdrop!! you are amazing! Kristina- best wishes for a beautiful wedding day. It was certainly the happiest and funniest day of my life!!:laugh: I have a couple of hilarious stories if you ever want to hear how things can go wrong and make the…

Today is 17 for me. Still feeling sick though. Great job dewdrop!!

Today is my day 15. Not really of my own accord though. I am just too tired to eat late at night. Still working on my calories, went over again today. Much harder to control when I can't work out. But I get to go on Tuesday. I'm excited because I have had to work on my employee reviews and decide who deserves raises and…

Fanily over is always bad for me, but I served fresh fruit for dessert instead of cake or tortes or whatever so I did pretty well. I went to the doctor on wednesday for my feet, and I have been re-banned:grumble: No more than 30 minutes on the bike or pool per day!! That cuts out half of my snacks.:cry: I'll get over it!!!…

Day 13 under my belt and i am going to bed. I discovered the most amazing salad dressing that is zero caolrie and zero fat, cholesterol and wait!............it tastes really good. It's called walden farms and I've tried the honey dijon and the french and both are amazing. Just something for veggie nuts or people that want…

I'm on day 14 today. I'd be happier but I had cortisol shots today and comfort ate a fast food breakfast, and then slept until about 20 minutes ago. I'm already over my calories for the day:explode: . What a day!! I hope everyone else is having a great day. Zaza< my prayers are with you!! I hope all goes well with the…

Hi there, everyone. I was grounded from the gym for a week because of my surgery set back, but the ban is lifted as of tomorrow woot woot!!!!!!! I am going to take it easy, but a good hour on the stationary bike might make me feel better. my daughter is very excited the ban is lifted as well. She has missed her gym…

plantlady- I sooooo feel your pain. I do really well until I've been doing really well for 2 weeks orso and have started to see changes and then I hit the fast food place.:grumble: :explode: I hope everyone is having a great day. I've been so busy with work I have a hard timelogging in every day. Good news:happy: , I'm too…
