Tea Summer or Winter?

If you feel you want to have a glass on wine, than don't deny yourself. If you are doing it because you think it will help your heart, well, there are other ways to be good to your heart other than alcohol. If you skip the alcohol all together you will save yourself many calories.

My husband does the same thing. I don't mind. He works so hard, so if he is in a rush and sees something yummy in there he is going to eat it. Of course he knows it isn't his... he didn't make it, or bring it home. I don't think any guy means to P you off. Maybe you could do what I do. If there is something I really want…

My husband has been working 7 days per week at his first job and then another pt job plowing. We don't always celebrate that holiday with anything except cards and candy. Once in awhile we will go out to eat. I sometimes rub his feet on the weekends. He always has those steel toe boots on, so on V day I will give him this…

Hello. Welcome. I had a similar problem as you. I am pear shaped. So when I am at my correct weight... (the one the dr. tells me to be at)... I get told by everyone.... your so skinny up top..... your so breakable.... if you could just take some weight from your bottom half and put it up top, you would look great. I…

Wow.. everyone did such an awesome job working out. I didn't work out today.. I have a stomach bug or something.. layed out on the couch with water, lollipops... that's all I can hold down. I am proud of everyone though.

I am from MA, but I am sending you a friend request so I can buddy up with you here and I can try to keep you motivated...... YOU CAN DO IT!!! Have you made your first date to go to the gym??? Once you get there you will meet others. Sign up for a class and start chatting to any gal in there. Find out when she goes and…

LOL Nothing wrong with just doing it for ourselves.... that's what's most important..... isn't it?!! :-)

My disease runs my life, but it isn't going to run my weight. So I am doing this for myself, my family, my dog :), and my friends. I remember 2 years ago I was the most fit I had every been and I was 36. Now I am 38. I think back to when I was in my 20's and I was self conscious about wearing shorts etc. Now I look at…

Hi There... I too ate 1,350.00 more calories than I was supposed to. There is no excuse. I was setting 60 something up on a blind date and had to go with them to meet for dinner. I did pretty good at the rest. It was after that when we went back to my older friends place. Boy can she make a mean cheese cake and that's…

Water and tea..... then more water :( sorry.. I know the feeling. Try not to think of it next time.. I know it's late and your probably sleeping..... but next time.... it helps to keep your mind busy... Laobgyn was right.. go to sleep.. :)

DON'T QUIT.. keep pluggin in everything your eating here and don't forget to include oils your cooking with etc so you can really see how many calories your taking in. Sometimes you loose just a little and because your working out your body is changing your fat to muscle so you either gain a pound or 2 or have a stand…

Thanks lulubar for the welcome. Today is my first full day on this site and I love it. Only issue is it's only 2pm and I have less than 200 calories I can eat. I better make a huge salad!! I don't know if I can keep under those calories, but time will tell.

Hi... Hang in there. I hate water too but what I found is... if you put it in the freezer until it just starts to freeze... well for me, I like it better. Water is important because it helps flush your system of the bad stuff. I used to LOVE soda, but you need to remember that soda has ALOT of sugar and the sugar free…

Hi Nitag, This is my first day here too. I love it here already. Well, welcome and congrats on the 7 lbs. Keep it up and feel good. I will see you on the boards.. Rhondie

It is so inconveniencing to be sick. I feel for ya. I had a nasty cold for over a month. My advice is to stay positive... chill when you need to through this cold... drink extra fluids of course and since you ate too many calories this weekend, just try to eat 20-40 less calories a day this week to make up for it. You…

Hello, I am new here and excited to get started. I have a pal named Colleen you will see in my photo. she is the blonde. She will be kicking my butt if I fall off my wagon. LOL I just wanted to introduce myself. I have 33 pounds to lose wich is the most I have ever had to lose except after I had my child. Wish me strength.…
