I'm determined to be better on watching what I eat and especially my portion sizes. My excuses for last week, was I was out of town for work and it was resturant food and happy hour with co-workers. This week, I will not make excuses. I start school tomorrow ( I go at night) so that there will take care of my tv watching…

I'm trying this...my daughter's friend suggested it and I liked it...it's doable and it's not like high impact arobics(sp). While you're watching tv, every 15 minutes during commercials, do 3 sets of 10 - jumping jacks, sit-ups and squats. Do it four times and you've gotten in some cardio and toning. I hope this helps and…

I've taken diet pills off and on over the years...my doctor recently put me on prescription diet pills ( I can't spell the drug and I don't have the bottle right now). I'm on them for only 30 days. He said this is to "jump start" me and he will reevaluate me when I go in for my follow-up. I'm an emotional eater and put on…

Happy Friday! I love jokes...problem is, I'm a terrible joke teller...My timing is usually off, I'll forget the punchline or I'll remember the punchline but forget the story..... I weighed in yesterday...didn't lose anything but didn't gain either. I'm really motivated to show a loss on this coming Thursday's weigh in.…

I'm still the same weight so that means I didn't put any on...that makes me happy : ) I'm smiling because my grandkids are the light of my life... : ) I'm smiling because life is good.... : )

I like these mini challanges...I think babysteps will help me succeed this time. I'll do better on water intake too...I LOVE Diet Coke but I'll learn to LOVE water. LOL. I'll also weigh in on Thursdays. Thanks for getting this group started!

I work with law enforcement and YOU NEVER WANT TO LEAVE YOUR CHILD with a stranger or someplace assuming it's safe. There are a lot of creeps who prey on the one kid who isn't being watched .....at yes...a public place with lots of people. C'mon people...don't you watch the news? This covers the safety of the child...now…

Hi my name is Sandy. CW 213 GW for 10/31 - 193 I love Halloween and always dress up. My friends and I have been the "Sheet Family" Jack Sheet, Holy Sheet, Oh Sheet....I'm sure you get the idea. This has been good for a plus size person cuz you just fix up a sheet to wear. This year I'd like to be something a little…

I totally agree. It makes me laugh that these fools that want the perfect woman with the perfect body are dog ugly and have the personality to match...if you want to call what they have personality. LOL

I need one of those kicks too. I'm the queen of two weeks...For the first two weeks, I do great on journaling my food, working out, sticking to my calorie goal and then bam...I'm binging..lying about my calories on my food journal and find lots of excuses to not work out and lots of excuses to finish off the ice cream, the…

I hear pillates are good for core strength...I bought a dvd at Best Buy for $5. It's " Pilates for Dummies". Tell ya what....I'll take the wrapper off and try it this weekend. If I can do it, then it should be a piece of cake for you. I'll email you on Saturday and let you know. Ladies...let's get off this roller…

Oh, you get the "just snap out it too"? I thought I was the only one with family like that. LOL. If only it were that easy. What keeps me from losing it with people like that, is I take a good look at them and realize they have a bad habit or negative way of dealing with their stress/emotions. They may smoke, drink, do…

I couldn't get into it. I know almost all the women in my office raved about it ...maybe the hype ruined it...who knows

I feel for you....I've been on this roller coaster for 15 years now. I'm also trying to learn how to handle stress without running to the fridge. It's so hard but we have to learn how to redirect our negative feelings. I'm using this site and my friends to vent to and it's helping. I haven't lost any weight in the last…

I've read several articles on this and so far it's been 50/50 on the pros vs the cons. I've been on the diet roller coaster for years so I figure, what the hell, I'm going to give this a try.

This is me! I'll see progress and then I'll sabotage myself too. I've been divorced a long time, and I think I use my weight as a shield and an excuse not to date. But this time around, I'm going to succeed. No more avoiding mirrors and no more excuses for not sticking to an exercise routine. We can and will do this!…

This is so me! I'm getting too old to keep doing this. I start out so good and so motivated and then I fizzle..I'm fizzled right now but tomorrow is a new day and I'll try to do better.

I took a hotdog. I left out the chips and sides. I love summer time..so easy to grill extra for next day's lunch

Great idea for a challenge. Not only will lunch be healthier for me, but by brown-bagging it for a month, it will save me some bucks! I'm looking forward to lunch ideas...the frozen boxed lunches get old plus they have a lot of sodium. Looking forward to learning and then hopefully contributing to you fellow brown-baggers.

I also had pancreatitis and once that cleared, I had my gallbladder removed. I put some weight on afterwards but I think it was because I could finally eat without having pain so I overdid it. I'm on this site to lose weight that is attributed to emotional eating. I really don't think the removal of my gallbladder is to…

You have been through a lot but you made it through it all. Your uncle is alive, your daughter and father are also alive. Start concentrating on the good you have now. Also put your uncle's recovery as a priority...you have to be strong for him. You sound like a woman who is strong in her beliefs and that will get you…

Today, I'm having one of those days where I don't want to do anything but watch tv and stuff my face. I don't feel depressed, more of a numbed, I don't care about anything day. The day is half gone and after I post this, I'm going to go get cleaned up and get out of the house....away from the TV...away from the TV....I'm…

All of the above! :drinker:

Hi there...I've been on this site off and on for a few months. I know my biggest problem is my emotional eating. Happy, sad, mad, bored, stressed, nervous...you name, it, I'll eat my way through it. Perhaps we could friend each other and instead of eating, we can email each other and vent what's bothering us...hopefully by…

Hi Pam...your story and my story sound alike. My health problem is my blood pressure. Add me as a friend if you want. We will succeed this time!

Hi there. I'm also tired of the diet roller coaster. I can do ok counting calories, my problem is portion control and exercise. I hate it. I have to lose weight because my blood pressure is not going down even with meds. I plan on walking to get me going. Add me as a friend if you want. I'm 52, 215 lbs. and ready to get…

I also have Dish and Breaking Bad starts on Sunday. I was trying to figure out where I was going to go to watch it. This morning on the news, it reported that Breaking Bad will be shown on AMC.com. Whew! Maybe they'll show your Walking Dead too.
