When I am inside on a tredmil, I think to myself I can stop now I have done enough. When I am outside I am like you and…

That is so exciting. Hey I would be tempted to gain some weight back, jk! How much have you lost already? So many companies are trying to get their employee's to lose weight and they are doing things like this. I think it is so great.I wish you luck in winning some money while getting healthy! I know that would make me…

I have a question for all of you. I was just curious how you picked your ultimate goal weight. I had initially set my goal at 175. I thought that was a great number. I don't think I have been 175 since I was in 9th grade. I am not super tall but have very broad shoulders. Anyways I have been on the site for about a month…

Thanks! Congrats to you to! I love the idea of this group cause not that it should matter what size you are and if you want to or need to lose weight but there is a big difference between being in teh 200's and losing weight and going form 150 to 135 or something like that. I saw you just had a baby! Congrats! My little…

I am going to try cause our area shuold be having a 5k run sometime in March. I am nervouse cause I can not run at all maybe…

Oh thanks! It is so great to hear congrats. It really helps me keep going. I just can't wait to get out of the 200's. Yeah we have lived in cold area's pretty much the last 6 years. We were in upstate NY for 4 years and have been in Germany for the last year. I have gotten very used to working out at home. I have a Walk…

I want to post in here but I am getting confused posting my weights in different groups. I love the idea though. I started 4 weeks ago at 221 and today I was at 205. I am just eating healthier smaller portions and excerising more. I can not wait to be out of the 200's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So PumkinHeadsMomma- How was your trip into town? So is that the drive you said is like 2.5 hours away? I know I am not in the boonies but I feel that way sometimes. I miss the states so bad! I miss all the convienece's that it offers. Also you are so right, about our group. I had joined two others and no one posted at…

So what time is it where you are? I know I am 6 hours ahead of the east coast. How did you do with your temptation? Don't sweat it. Hey I ate BK on Friday and I have lost 1 lb since. So you can eat unhealthy just not every day. Yeah I always do a 30 min workout video once my girls are sleeping. Well I am off to sell some…

OH yeah and pumpkinheadsMomma- I looked at the chicken on here and I was inputting it wrong. I was putting it as a whole breast when I was eating a half chicken breast. So it was really only 120 calroies vs 240! Opps!

Ok so I know we weigh in on Tuesday but I had to share my success with Everyone! I started my weight loss journey on January 5th. Today is the end of the 4th week. I have lost 16lbs, gone down 2.6 in my BMI, lost 2 inches in my waist, 1 inch in my chest, 1.5 inches of my hips, and 3 inches off of my problem area right…

Congrats on your weightloss and fitting into some more clothes. dsangel- Congrats on the inches lost! I measure both weight and inches and I am…

So sorry MissResa, I sure hope your hubby gets to come home. It is so frustrating when then change things at the last min. Last deployment my hubby was supposed to be home in 2 weeks and we got extended 4 more months. That meant he was gone 16 months in Afghanistan. Totally suck so I know what your going through. So where…
-
Yeah I started on the 5th of January. I am sure I will hit a plato(SP?) soon. I am always able to lose fast as soon as I start excercising and eating right. I have given into my temptation a few times but always stay with in my calorie limit. I went from probably eating 4000 calories a day to 1500 and exercicing 7 days a…
-
Yeah well we are trying to save money and eat healthy so the two go well together. It was just so easy to eat fastfood since I am always running around and I am only cooking for myself and my 7 year old who would like to eat out everyday. She has done well with it and I was very excited. Two weeks is a long time for us.
-
Yep you found it. I know that dsangel is bf and abullock and I think a few others. If you scroll though you might find them. I had to stop when my lo was 3 months for medical reasons. I could not take a medication I needed and continue to bf. So hope you can find some support here.

By the way, I added a few pics to my profile. I put up my motivation to lose weight. Before Christmas my daughter came home with a Christmas Card she had made in spanish class. Inside the card it had a picture of me, my husband and my youngest daughter. In the picture is had me looking like a big fat orange. I looked the…

Well since I started my heathy eating and working out on the 5th of January, I mad a vow not to eat fast food but once every two weeks. So as a treat to my daughter we went to Burger King this evening for dinner. Well that is a big mistake for someone who has not eaten it in what seems like forever. Anywa my stomach is…

Oh my gosh! I can't imagine being snowed in and a volcano. I will be thinking of you. I of course have not seen anything even if it is on the news since I am in lala land and have no real tv.
-
Welcome. If you go to the motivation and support then look for the sisterhood of holday crap my pants fit or maybe it is just siterhood week 2. I am part of that group we just started about a week ago. There are three bf Mom's I think.

Where did you get the walking ticker? I would love to make one of those. My husband is in Iraq and I am doing to Iraq and back. So I am trying to walk 4000 miles in 15 months!
-
When I used to weigh weekly I would weigh myself on Monday morning and then I would put my scale in the closet until the following Monday. It worked for me but I am sure some people would just go get it out of the closet if they were curious.
-
Is that a picture of you in your ticker?
-
I know that my doctor recommended only weighing my self once a week. His reasoning for it was the if you weigh yourself daily or several times a day if you see the scale go up which it does very often that you might get disouraged and binge or stop dieting or whatever it is you are doing to try and lose weight. I told my…

They say for key weightloss you shuold eat every two hours. Even if it is just a small snack like a half an apple or something. Also if you are not meeting your calories then you shuold try and pick snacks that are high in calorie. You could try eating a banana or an apple with 2 tbs of peanut butter. That snack is almost…
-
That is amazing! How long have you been at it? Other than counting calories what do you do differently? I can not wait to be bellow 200 I am only 6lbs away. When I was at my heaviest I was also in the 250's and I got to 190 but then got prego. So now I am starting all over. By the way your before and after pics are great!…
-
Wow he had sure tried out all the branches. Thanks! It is hard during deployments but I will tell you I eat so much healthier when he is gone. I hope this time I can keep the weight off. Last time I lost 60 lbs and then gained back 10 when he got home and then I got pregnant. Well today on the computer he was talking about…
-
I can not imagine. I live for my mail. I go everyday at 3:00 to check and when I am expecting something it pisses me off if I don't get it. Not to get to personal but I am a huge coupon clipper! I save so much money about $25 every other week. Don't know who usually does your shopping but I would try clipping coupons and…
-
Yay!!!!!!!! Don't you love it! I think clothes show weightloss so much faster than the scale.

No Need to apoligize! I can get netflx and I am thinking of trying it out. I have never done netflix before but a lot of people swear by it. Now that I know they have workout DVD's I might give it a try!
