I am proud of my daughter :smooched: :bigsmile: and I want to thank all of you for being there :flowerforyou: . I lost nothing this week.:cry: I know I should be happy that I haven't gained but it's not easy for me to see that dial on the scale not budging at all. :grumble: I'm really being good, none of my bad habits have…

Deep breath..I know I"ve been bad about posting so I promised Ariella I would post at least once a week. First of all..I'm so proud of her..she's really motivated and is doing something that I think she can stick to for the rest of her life. :smooched: OK..I weighed myself..last week I lost 1/2 a pound..this week another…

Walking at least 5 times a week and doing weight training every day for at least 1/2 an hour..and trying to eat all my calories..my DD and I are struggling to chow down..all the calories...I used to skip meals so I am proud of myself that I am eating my 3 squares...I didn't have a great week..lost .5 lbs..but my pants are…

OK..I posted this on the wrong week so I am double posting. I am sorry..:flowerforyou: I come in peace. I actually tried to post last night but after typing a whole saga, I went to post and the site had gone down for maintenance..and then..so did I because I was tired. Then I posted earlier and the site lost everything..so…

I actually tried to post last night but after typing a whole saga, I went to post and the site had gone down for maintenance..and then..so did I because I was tired.:embarassed: Seriously, I know I have been remiss in posting, as my DD Pepamint keeps reminding me. So she'll be my Bob about…

OK so after a no loss week last week I was expecting the SOS..but I lost a pound. I'm also pissed off because I am not feeling well so I can't walk and I am not hungry at all. As my DD reported, our beloved treadmill has bitten the dust after over 18 years of service. It really owes me nothing. I got it as a gift from my…

My beloved PITA DD told me to copy and paste what I wrote onto this thread..but thanks for welcoming me on the first thread...sistahs and mistah. OK..deep breath..I am pepamint's mom and we vowed not to divulge our weight to each other...so I won't post my weight..but I am 25lbs heavier than I would like to be....I promise…

OK..deep breath..I am pepamint's mom so we vowed not to divulge our weight to each other...so I won't post my weight..but I am 25lbs heavier than I would like to be....I promise we will keep each other honest though LOL..she's been nagging me to join this group so with your permission...may I climb on board. I did weigh…

:smile: OMG I finally lost two pounds! It took more than a week but I can't believe it because for the past few months I've been gaining. Maybe there is something to eating balanced meals (and even a snack) that is good for me. Until now I'd been cutting my caloric intake to almost nothing before I joined here and I think…

OMG...she's a :devil: incarnate isn't she..but... you know her better than we do..do you think she was being supportive and it came out wrong ie..would it have sounded better if she would have said something like..oh I think the scale is wrong because you look fantastic? ..... or do you think she meant it as a dig…

Just signing on: 1 whole medium egg, plus one eggwhite, 1/4 tsp grapeseed oil, salt & pepper all scrambled, one slice bakery rye dry lightly toasted (I am watching carbs but this is a treat) , one 1 8 oz mug of coffee with 1equal, 1/4 cup 1% milk and on 8oz coffee with 1/4 cup milk and 2 tsp land o'lakes (coffee wise-it's…

I've been eating it for years. ITA...the preparation all depends on the brand. Sometimes I treat it like kasha..I first rinse it if needed and let it drain. I sautee chopped onions, celery, carrots and red and/or yellow pepper with salt, pepper, parsley (all to taste). Then I add the quinoa and a low sodium low msg bullion…

Thanks all of you...:happy: I will be honest with my input and I'll try not to skip meals or not eat carbs or fruit because I think my body thinks its hibernating or in crises and holds onto every ounce it can. I'll try the smaller more frequent meals too, that sounds like it might be the right thing for me. 20 years ago,…

:noway: Not before you go on the treadmill because you might fall off.:bigsmile: There is absolutely no nutritional value to a cocktail.and mucho hidden calories....unless it's a Bloody Mary with a celery stick and you can count it as a snack....or a screwdriver perhaps..and you can count it as a fruit? I wouldn't do it…

It seems like I've been gaining and losing the same pounds for years but now that I'm over 50 everything just got harder. When I went to an endocronolist about 20 years ago after a complete exam including resperatory test for my Basic Metabolic Rate, I was told that I basically have the metabolism of a corpse..but they…
