ABSOLUTELY count the brisk walking!!! Walking is great exercise! count it!!! *** But.....I don't count office walking.

I use my bathroom scales to weigh in. My wii weighs lighter because I use it on the carpet. I never tried it on regular hard floor. I need to do that. But if you always use it on the same surface I would think it would accurately show loss or gain.

welcome aboard!!!!

Maggie1960 Don't we wish ? enjoyed the reading. thanks

:happy: Yep 2 am is a perfect time to begin this new life journey. I agree...you made the first hard step and that was to join in. This is a fantastic site and I love it. just remember: :heart: "IF YOU EAT IT OR DRINK IT ~ YOU MUST LOG IT" ! Sometimes you will goof up and not want to log everything but make yourself do it…

:heart: I know how you feel ! My two children are grown and out on their own. My daughter will be 24 in 3 1/2 weeks and has a wonderful husband, a beautiful 17 month old baby girl and a beautiful home of their own. My son is 20 and lives with his wonderful girlfriend. It is such an adjustment and kind of scary too because…

Good morning to you too, Welcome aboard!!!! this is the best site ever. I agree with you that journaling what you eat = no way to hide. That is always on my mind ~ If i don't want to chart it then I don't eat it. Good luck to you ~ so many wonderful support pals on here.:flowerforyou:

I'm not sure if you have them where you are but I would recommend the sports style bra, they are sort of a one size fits all (small, Med, Large x-tra large). that may get you through the weight loss journey. then you can buy the size you need when your at goal. the sports bras are quite reasonable in price.

That's great !

That is so very sad. Rapid/quick fix weight loss is definately not the answer. We really need to deal with the foods we are exposed to and learn to eat correctly and pass certain things up. It's a lifetime learning process. I feel so bad for her 5 year old.

I am very inspired by your story....I say "YOU GO GIRL" that is fantastic. What a journey for you and thank you for sharing. This site is such a great tool for all of us to stay inspired by stories like yours and you should be so proud of your accomplishment. This is a life long journey !!!!

You all are great !!! That's the right attitude. You ate it, you track it, count it and move on. It will drive you crazy if you kick yourself for giving in. We are allowed to have those things " WE JUST NEED TO COUNT IT". You can do it ! ! ! ! dont give up.

I have a question.....When you set your goal, where do you get your goal weight from? Do you just think of one or do you use the BMI suggested weight?

adriancal I love the wii fit....I do the wii step as a reg workout, with the hula hoop workout too. I have really noticed a diff with working out on the wii. My jeans are now loose and i'm losing the stomach rolls. although, the lbs arent really dropping as fast as i would like, the whole idea is to look better in clothes.…

Racheltneudecker FANTASTIC progress!!! you should be very proud....keep up the great stride.

sassiebritches just be careful and keep an eye on your health doing the Atkins. I know several people who have had poor health issues from that diet, Good luck to you!

I love my wii fit.......it is wonderful

gabriella412 Thanks, That is beginning to set in my head. I've spoke to another fitnesspal and she has helped me with that too. I guess its not all about LBS. My scales are also reading just in lbs so i could be losing 1/2 lb at a time also and I'll take that too.

Karen I have not seen the new weeks challenges as of yet either.

weighed in today with no change this week. I seem to average a loss every other week. UGH...I'm working out and feeling better but want to drop LBS. clothes do fit better but want to lose LBS. Still no pepsi's (that has been a wonderful accomplishment for me to give them up). :cry:

I totally agree with StacySkinny.....If you eat it, drink it or bite it....you know you have to write it. You need to do some sort of excercise. I like the Wii Fit because my work schedule does not allow me the time to go to the gym. Good luck and stick with this site and it's really a great help. It will be a great source…

I hate facial hair!!!!! and long hair on a man. ugh and yuck.

Today I weighed in and I was happy to see a 2 lb loss........Yay 8 lbs down. Still No PEPSI'S.

The real issue here is.....Why are you thinking of having an affair? That stinks...

U-Haul

Turning 40 was just a number.....I'm proud to celebrate a birthday every year ( I love the birthday cake) that just means I survived another wonderful year. The more birthdays you have, the more wonderful years you get with your family. (oh yeah...and cake). 40 + is great. Enjoy it.
