Hey Suzanne, I'm not a professional, but wanted to let you know what worked for me. You may need to eat more calories per day. How many calories are you eating daily? If you don't eat enough calories your body goes into starvation mode and everything just kind of stops. I went through the same thing you did a few months…

Hi everyone! I started April 16th at 262 pounds. Today I am 255 pounds. Went up a pound from last week, but hey, it was my birthday over the weekend.....too much good food and drinks. :drinker: :happy: I'm back on track again this week.:smile:

YEA!!!!

I love Pop Tarts! I used to eat them every morning for breakfast when I was a kid, and even as an adult, especially through tax seasons. Didn't realize how bad they were for you until I started reading labels. Have you thought about bringing in your own healthier, breakfast, lunch and snacks to work instead of eating in…

Too awesome! Congratulations!!! :smile:

Those are my favorite - YUMMY! :smile:

Same here! :smile:

I put a little bit of Cyrstal Light in my water. I also use a little lemon. :smile:

That is too funny :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thanks for making me smile this morning

Hi Carrie6o6, I think you should be using just your ab muscles and lower back when crunching up. Your head and neck are pretty much straight and 'along for the ride" I have a bad neck and my trainer has me hold onto a towel that is behind my neck. It really helped.

Welcome:smile:

That is so wonderful - Congratulations!

Thanks, this sounds yummy! I'm actually having the same kind of fish for dinner. I miss having tarter sauce and can't wait to try this out. .:smile:

Count me in!

Morning everyone! Redalee, I was doing the same thing regarding the fast food salads. My son and I visit Burger King every Thursday night while Dad plays softball. I was ordering the Chicken Salad and thought I was being good, when, like you, I actually checked the calories - YIKES!!! Sometimes I feel like I should just…

That is awesome - 15 pounds! way to go! :flowerforyou:

Morning! Today I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes at 2.5 miles/hour, then did the Elliptical machine for 47 minutes. It was hard getting my old bones out of bed at 3:30am this morning, but I glad I did. I always feel great after working out and it really gets my day started on a good note! :smile:

morning all! 15 minutes on the treadmill and 45 minutes on the elliptical. Have a great day!

YEA!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I've been in a total hurry the past couple of days so haven't had a chance to get to the gym. I'm hoping to go back tomorrow morning. I took my son and his friend fishing at the end of the HB pier yesterday, from walking to my car, to the end of the pier and back to my car, I think I got about a mile's walk in. :smile:

Yea Niccole, I'm glad you are back on line! I can relate regarding using this site. I have been using this site for a couple weeks and I can't believe how much I rely on it to keep me on track. Today I walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes, and did the Elliptical for 35 minutes. Have a great day! mamatusa

Okay, I now have a HUGE craving for pudding!!! I'll be going to the store afterwork and picking up every flavor! :happy: mamatusa

Thanks neverbeenskinny! I'll be trying this over the weekend! :smile: mamatusa

My alarm didn't go off this morning, so no workout for me on Thursday. :o( Actually, I use my phone for my alarm, and when it went off, instead of hitting "Snooze" like I usually do, I turned my phone completely off! I must of really been out of it yesterday.:ohwell: mamatusa

Neverbeenskinny, this sounds like a great idea, this may sound like a stupid question, but what kind of lettuce do you use?

Today I walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes, then did the Elliptical machine for 25 minutes. :smile:

This morning I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then did the Elliptical machine for 25 minutes.

Okay....today was hard! I had it already set in my mind that when I got to the gym I was going to head to the ladies locker room and weigh myself. Would you know it, the locker room was closed for cleaning. I think someone was looking out for me today. :smile:

I'm in! I am also in the Thanksgiving Challenge and my goal for for that challenge is 5 pounds. I'll keep the Christmas challenge at the same goal, five pounds. Thank you so much for the challenges, they really keep me on track :o)

This isa great idea!
