On Wednesday morning just after I get up and go to the bathroom. Why not Monday - I eat Sunday lunch at my mother in laws and she cooks with lots of salt. Monday's weight is always up.

Try a warm bath about an hour before bedtime and then some chamomile tea. During this stay away from the cell phone and the computer.

Don't panic. My jeans did the same thing. I am now on week 4 and those jeans were too lose today. Keep at it! It will work for you if you just work it (my son says this to me all the time - I don't know how he got so wise as he just turned 13 today)

YUM can't wait to try these

1. Earthbound half spring mix half spinach 2. fresh broccoli 3. carrots and celery 4. eggs 5. peanut butter

look at what you have already accomplished. You can do this. Take some time and make a list of reasons to exercise and eat healthy. Name all the reasons you want to lose weight. Then sit and imagine your self thin and healthy. What will you be able to do? Is there an outfit you would like to buy? Come on girl, you can do…

Ohhh the shin splints. How terrible they can be. Ice them for now to help with the pain. Did you get "fitted" for your shoes? They do this at some stores where they look at how you walk and the wear on your old shoes. Having shoes for your stride really helps to keep your body in the best position and puts less strain on…

I promised my children in January of this year that if I lost 50 lbs we would go to Disney next year. I am a little behind goal, but I will make my goal and we will go. It was a way to get them in on supporting me when I want to exercise and eat right. They are teens but still they are excited about another trip to the…

You could also try a chiropractor. Your spine might be out of line. My Chiropractor has helped my hip issues.

Great Job! I like the can do and did do spirit. You should be very proud

You are beautiful. Your start numbers are close to mine. I hope I look as good when I lose all of my weight. Congratulations

reached my goal 2239 as of today!!!

Great Job! and what an inspiration. Keep Running!!

On January 2, I was fed up and angry at myself and, like you,I was scared to death of starting and failing once again. Add to it that some of those around me were skeptical that I could be successful. But everyday is a new day. I have learned in the last few months that one meal or even one day or even one week of messing…

Don't feel awkward about the compliments. Take those compliments and use them to continue to motivate you. I like the comments you made back to them. I am trying to get use to the compliments as well so I usually say "Thank you." or when they ask how much weight I've lost I have said "a few pounds." Be proud and enjoy…

Hi all, I am a wife, mom of two teens and I am a high school teacher also. I joined this site in January and I have found that logging my food is a must for me to lose weight. You are right about the summer eating opportunities and about the stress during the school year. I totally agree. It is hard, but I am learning it…

these look amazing, can't wait to try them

318 for today = 1267

this looks good

I am sooooooo sorry that happened. Some people must make others feel bad to make themselves feel good. There will always be "mean girls" and I don't think they ever grow up. Don't let people like this steal your drive to lose weight and be healthy. Hold your head high and remember this: Don't waste your life in doubts and…

Great Job! and thanks for the inspiration. I am on week 3 day 3 and feeling a little down, but you just gave me the inspiration to go out and do today's workout. Thanks, and way to go.

I know what you mean. My twin brother, who won't tell me how much he has lost,, has obviously lost a lot and looks totally different. He started well after I did. At a 4th of July gathering, I walked up and he was running the grill, I did not recognize him until he turned around. He looks so young. I became so green with…

472 for today = 949

1. my parents did everything they could to give us a wonderful life, but so ground beef, fish sticks and canned pork and beans were cheap. I kept it off as a child, but it took me a while to learn to cook and eat well. I don't blame them, I just wasn't taught about balanced meals. 2. I let the mean girls in high school…

absolutely, can't wait to go back to the chiropractor to brag. He maybe unhappy to see me less. The Chiropractor and my new weightloss and exercise routine have helped so much.

Beautiful and that is not insignificant. Shout that victory from the rooftops. Congrats! you look great.

I love Brooks but I really recomend you go to a store like Fleet Feet that will fit you for the right shoe for your stride, etc. socks, def. synthetic but I like the ones that give a little support in the arch also.

WOW! :bigsmile: That is fantastic!!! So motivating.

Great Job! You should be so proud.
