Welcome and good luck to both of you.

Welcome! This is a great support site too. Good luck to you and remember this is a work in progress and you can do this.

James you have motivated many people here today. You are awesome for sharing your story.

I was working today today at the hospital daylight but got called off. I do swing shifts and have a night on monday night. The problem where i work is everyone orders out. There is several restarants that will deliver to our hospital til 3am and first i really did not want to be leftout. Now though I bring my lunch/dinner…

Granted sugar in fruit is better than processed but sugar makes you crave sugar. The low glycemic the better and you won't crave. I am a sugar holic and until I tried limiting sugar even in fruit did i realize the effect it had on me. A diebetic doctor told me sugar is sugar, it is all broken down into one end product and…

Watermelon is actually a high glycemic food, go for berries. The worst are pineapple and banana. Here is a list i found for you on glycemic foods. There is a listing for fruits. http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/glycemicfoodchart.htm

good luck to you gretal.

I was in the challenge in july and never made it to the final weigh in but going to try harder this time. I am losing just not as quick as I would like. It would be great to go into the new year down versus starting over again... Today down to 224.2 goal is 219 lbs.

I'm not a specialist in joint or bones, ,my specialty is cardiology but... Here is my 2 cents take it for what it is worth. Lay off the zumba, if you are still having pain after a week go to your doctor and ask for an mri of your knee it could be your meniscus(cartilage of the knee). I injured mine last year in a horse…

Halleluah! Another pound! To be truthfull not sure how it happened I have been working crazy this week but have totally stayed away from processed foods. I started a clean eating challenge to myself, maybe it's working. Exercise has taken a backseat only because I've been busy at work but I know it is important so going to…

You need to eat and if you binge okay you might get a little satisfaction but tommorow you will be so mad at yourself and could start a cycle of getting off track. Make yourself something to eat a healthy carb and a good protein and reward yourself for not getting out of control. I'm sorry about your bad day and I am also…

You should try to keep your sodium under 2000 mg. That is the rule for patients I have that is sodium limited so tha t is what i try to follow.

nice to meet ya! This is a great site so glad you found us.

I started this yesterday on the 19th, very sore today. Lets see "work through the pain", but down 1lb when nothing else was working.

AWESOME!

Go for the bananna or a glass of oj. Be careful on how much pottassium you take. If you are eating fruits and enough fresh veggies you are probally getting enough. A sign of low pottasium is leg cramps. Too much can cause cardiac irregularites.

Emotional eating due to stress can be an overwhelming power. It is almost like being an addict and when stress hits we just need a fix to get us over our struggle. At first it seems like it works but then the guilt sets in and we eat even more which just piles more and more guilt and calories on. It can be very hard to…

If you are still not walking on it and it is still swollen, go to the er and get an xray. Could be nothing but could be something. I don't like the looks of it and I'm a health care worker but sometimes pics are decieving.

I'm in another challenge but this is a good goal to shoot for today 230.2. goal 225.0

I'm in! My weight is currently 230 and goal is 10lbs.:happy:

I'm in I just started last saturday and doing the clean eating lifestyle. I also joined a fitness club open 24 hours so no excuses not to work out. The game plan is about 4 days a week 60-90 minutes each. Day 4 will be complete in the morning when I get off work(i'm a night shifter). My goal is listed below got big…

I just got the htc hero two weeks ago and love that I will have an app soon for it! Cool.

Post an example of your meal plans. Maybe you are eating the wrog combinatio of foods, ect also post how you are workig out. Have you taken measuremets?

I had a cousin who i was close to commit suicide over 25 years ago and it's something you don't get over. I'm also a nurse so let me tell you there is always a reason, though we don't see it at the time. They do a really good job at hiding things and even though they might seem on top of the world, it overwelms them.…

I have at least 75lb more to lose but if I meet the 60lb goal that woubld be awesome!

Awesome! You look great.:wink:
