sounds good I may just try it, thanks:flowerforyou:

Sounds like you might need more calories for sure and working out 3X a day, WOW I think you are going to do well in your weight loss but give yourself a little slack and make your weight loss program more of a life style change then an exercise and low calorie diet or you might set yourself up for failure.

Good for you Vanessa, becoming aware of portions, I'm sure everyone over estimates them. Measure, journal, drink water and water. You will do well. Peg

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, now you have the incentive to acheive your weight loss goal. Keep at it, even if you have a bad day, continue. Remember your man loves you just the way you are so you are making the changes for you. How many pounds is a stone?

:drinker: thanks for all the ideas

I just started also, and it does look like a great place to do journaling. I do think journaling is such an important part of weight loss. Peg

Hi ladies and gents, I would like to check into this forum sometimes. Looks like it could be quite a large group though. I just found this site about 2 weeks ago so my goal for July is 7 lbs. I have 5 down so far so I'm hopeful. Peg

can you give us a recipe for one of your dressings?

WALK daily. Pickles are a craving killer. Turn off the TV ( you will be surprised there are other things to do) Try to eat simple foods, such as a protein, a fresh vegetable, and fruits. Sweet potatoes can be your friend. Don't buy anything that you cannot keep your hands off, mine is crackers and cheese, can't have it in…

I heard someone say today you should take your weight divide it in half and drink that many ozs. of water. That's alot of water. How do you drink so much?? Peg

sounds like a good plan

I take the MEGA RED omega 3 pills, It is a small pill and you only take one pill in lieu of 3. I got it at the pharmacy. It costs a little more BUT I like to be able to fill my pill box for the week and it doesn't take much room. I never have an aftertaste.

My Dad used to make me ham, cabbage and potatoes. It was just a ham bone, boiled with wedges of cabbage and quartered potatoes. YUM (I would put a little butter on it.

My sister has a ring guard on her rings (while she was losing weight). Check with your jeweler. Don't lose your rings! Congrats on your losses so far.

way to go on your weight loss!:flowerforyou:

good for you, I lost 3 lbs. my first week and didn't have a great weekend, Whatever works I say.

welcome, good luck on your journey, JOURNAL it will definitely help make you more concious of what you are earing.

Hi everyone, great losses listed by some of you in this group. Fantastic jobs. I'm 58 and just started on this site this week. I have to find some motivation somewhere and so far this looks like a good place. My main concern is emotional and boredom eating. I think if I can get myself on the right path for a week or two it…

I'm guessing you need to talk to one of them and explain the situation. Maybe she isn't planning on attending. Whatever you do, I hope you have a lovely wedding and congratulations.

every morning before I shower I step on the scale, I think it helps, but I'm sure most people would say not to weigh everyday.

Have a great birthday. 47 in by no means old!!! Enjoy.:flowerforyou:

good job lowering your blood sugars and hopefully getting off meds.............

Fantastic! Great job.:flowerforyou:

Congratulations on the great losses. wow after looking at all the successes you girls have had, I just might become a diet coke fan too!!! LOL I don't care much for water but I like to add about 2 oz. of promagrate juice to a tall glass of water and it makes it so much better. Plus I think the juice is good for you.

I don't like to ride them anymore because I feel like the overhead restrait doesn't come down enough over my chest. So I know what you mean. Just use it for motivation, as you said, and know that next time you will be comfortable getting on that ride.

Wow that looks so good.
