I strayed :cry: lost focus :embarassed: and got discouraged :frown: ... but I am back. I have missed this group very much :flowerforyou: Start Date July 15 Starting weight 234.2 Week 1 July 22 - 233.7 (-.5) Week 2 July 29 – 230.4 (-3.3) (total lost 3.8) Week 3 August 5 - 234.5 (+4.1 :frown: ) I had a not so good weekend...…

Thank you for the encouragment and birthday wishes Susie!!! I am eager to watch the video...this should be interesting :-)

Good morning all. I have a dilemma this week. My b-day is Thursday and I know I will probably be a little off track...or maybe alot. I am going to try REALLY hard to make good choices. But I am SUCH a cake person...and I LOVE to bake. My god daughter's b-day is Thursday also...she has requested a cake on her b-day and 3…

Add the strength training under cardio for one hour.

:noway: FAT FREE POTATO CHIPS?!?!?!??? I had programmed myself to stay away from this aisle at the grocery store. I strictly only shop in produce, poultry, canned goods, frozen veggies, and dairy...with an occasional stroll to the bread aisle for english muffins or my newly discovered addiction - sandwich thins. But…

:flowerforyou:

GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!!!!! Keep up the good work! And kudos to those who did not give up even tho we lost a battle or two. Start Date July 15 Starting weight 234.2 Week 1 July 22 - 233.7 (-.5) Week 2 July 29 – 230.4 (-3.3) (total lost 3.8) Week 3 August 5 - 234.5 (+4.1 :frown: ) I had a not so good weekend... :grumble: and I…

:flowerforyou: Welcome! You will love it here. I have 60 pounds to lose also. I am part of the "Looking Good For Christmas" group. You should check us out. Lots of good support and weekly weigh in's. Good luck to you!

You have to do what works best for you. Your body will let you know what it needs! What works best for me is to eat SOMETHING (maybe a piece of fruit or fat free yogurt) 15 - 20 minutes before my work out and lowfat cereal with skim milk and no sugar or plain oatmeal within 30 minutes of completing my workout. I have…

It is SO important to get right back on track afterwards. Great thinking! :flowerforyou:

Trade the pound cake for Angel food cake and use fat free cool whip...VERY guilt free!!!

Congrats to everyone who lost!!! (cover your ears Nigel lol) WHEWWWWWWW!!!! :drinker: ...AND lots of encouragement to those who didn't lose or stayed the same. Congrats to you too for NOT GIVING UP! :flowerforyou: I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I got on the scale :bigsmile: Start Date July 15 Starting weight…

My weekend def. better than last!!! I did good Saturday and even better on yesterday. Sunday - I met up with my family after church at a seafood restuarant. Everyone had fried flounder (yuck!), fried shrimp (yum), and fried scallops (double yum!!!). but NOT ME! I had grilled marinated chicken (boneless, skinless - I asked…

Makes about 4 quarts Ingredients 2 quarts (2 1/2 lb.) regular rolled oats 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup unprocessed bran (optional) 1/4 cup salad oil 1/4 cup honey 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup chopped dried apples, apricots, peaches, pears, or prunes 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins 2 tablespoons chopped…

At this point, I am still avoiding the mirror. :grumble: So looking in the mirror often may not be such a bad thing!!! It means you at least like what you see :smile:

A little disappointed in myself...not because I didn't loose much, but because I could have done alot better. But, this week will be better. :smile: Start Date July 15 Starting weight 234.2 Week 1 July 22 233.7

Thanks for the encouragment, Jennifer!! I didn't do so well this weekend, although it could have been worse. But, I am back on track today. Before, if I "messed up" I would just say "oh well, I'll start over again on Monday." I've learned to get right back on track after a "slip". Today, I am extremely focused.

Congrats! :drinker: <--- water of course! :smile:

Weekends are my downfall too. My uncle is coming into town from New York this weekend and my mother is having a big cookout at the park. As usual, I have been asked to make a trifle. It usually gets devoured in like 10 minutes. Maybe I will take a walk through the park or something right before they serve dessert and it…

Welcome and good luck to you! :flowerforyou: Lunch was super yummy!!!! Santa Fe Chicken Burrito: 1/4 cup brown rice with 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro 1/2 cup chicken (seasoned with Sazon Goya, Adobo, old bay, and black pepper) 1/4 cup yellow corn 1/4 cup low sodium black beans 1/4 cup cheese (1/2 fat free and 1/2 reduced…

Snack time - one cup of Fresh Cherries and 25 more ounces of water.

Breakfast this morning - I had 1 cup of rice krispies and 1/2 cup skim milk...no sugar :grumble: ...and 25 ounces of water. I have already entered my food for the day and will stick to it. It is already prepared. Didn't get any exercise last night (I hate organized exercise!!! I'd much rather trick myself into exercising…

You are ABSOLUTELY right!!! :laugh:

I said what I was having already, (salad with 1/4 cup of 2% cheese, 1 tbsp bacon bits, a little under 2 tbsp of light Catalina and 1 cup of cherries) but I want to brag that I stuck to it, ate only what I packed (no vending machine for me!), and am still holding on! I brought a piece of that strawberry cake I had for…

Have you tried Kraft naturals fat free cheese? It's really not that bad...you get use to it. Every now and then, I will treat myself to 2% cheese or 1/4 of the amount I normally use of full fat cheese.

Okay, so, I had a piece of Strawberry cake this morning for breakfast. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I would bake a cake every week, give away half, and my family of 3 would have the rest. So, last night was cake night. I think I will postpone my cake baking project until I can have more control. I am a sweet…

:flowerforyou: I'm in! I was looking for a good new group to join. i did not weight myself this morning so I do not have my exact weight today, but on Sunday, it was 234.6 and my goal weight is 170...but for Christmas, I will set my goal for 185. That's about 2 lbs a week for me too.

Can I join? :flowerforyou:

Try brushing your teeth when you have a craving or directly after your meal. This works well when you are at home. I am now 6 days smoke free and it hasn't been TOO bad. They discontinued my brand of cigarettes which makes it ALOT easier for me. You are an inspiration! Good luck...it is well worth it.
