I mix fat free ranch dressing with salsa. I use more salsa than dressing and it's really good. I even have my husband eating it. If you like a little kick to it, use hotter salsa. I will use 1/2 tbsp of dressing and 1 tbsp of salsa.

I am also over 200lbs. This is the HEAVIEST I have been (without a baby in my belly). I was so sad to see the scale hit the 200 mark. Just a year ago, I was 170 :( I am back and I am going to do this slowly but surely. I agree with a PP that you should log your food before you eat it. If you see how many calories something…

I am VERY lucky and I have only again started to appreciate the fact that I have a FULL gym at work that I can use for FREE. Yes, you heard me...free. My goal is to work out a minimum of 4 times a week. No less than that. I am hoping to do 5 days a week but setting a goal of 4 days for now and sticking to it is a pretty…

Don't beat yourself up. Everyone slips now and then. Start over today and forget about what happened yesterday. You can't change what happened all you can do is look ahead and make up for it. Do something that will make you feel good about yourself and is healthy for you. Maybe when you get stressed you can go for a walk…

So...I was so gung ho about losing weight and then my pain and EXHAUSTEDNESS (is that even a word?? if not, it is now) got the best of me. So, I am here again and have an EXCELLENT friend as a support system who will talk to me EVERYDAY to keep me motivated and I am going to try this again. I am SOOOO ashamed of myself and…

Has anyone been to a Delta hotel and used the abover service? My hubby is going away on business so the kids and I are tagging along. A 3-day mini vacation. My kids have never stayed in a hotel (what a bad mother I am..LOL) and my 14 year old is DYING to stay in one, so here's his chance. The best part for him is that he…

Well..I signed up for not 1...not 2....but 3 fitness classes today :bigsmile: Hatha Yoga Urban Poling (not as sexy as it sounds..it's walking with ski poles..hee hee) Low Impact Aerobics Let's get this show on the road...there's a skinnier, healthy chick being held hostage inside me and she is breaking out :laugh: My…

I have already had 2.5 litres of water and it's only noon! :laugh:

I am only 37 and have had a hysterectomy over a year ago and am going through menopause. I am just looking for support from anyone else who is going through this and having a hard time losing weight. I am not on HRT as I still have 1 (but crappy) ovary. As it is starting to not work very well, my menopause symptoms are…

7 lbs is really good! I am like you and want it to be way more but when you stop and think about it and picture it, that's like 7lbs of butter. Instead of focusing on the big 30 lb goal, try to focus on 10 lbs at a time. That way, you will feel great about achieving that goal. Once you have reached your 10 lbs, start on…

YAY YOU!!! That is FABULOUS!!! :flowerforyou: I am totally jealous..that is my goal one day. YOU ROCK :bigsmile:

I lost 45 lbs and have gained back 40. So I am back at it again. Health problems are making it a little tougher for me this time but I am taking it one day at a time. Calorie counting and watching what I eat is about all I can do right now because exercise just makes my pain worse. The weather is starting to get nicer here…

Dear Annoying Pomeranian Dog Across the Back Yard; SHUT THE HELL UP..really now...what are you barking at? There is nobody in my backyard and you look in my backyard and bark nonstop. Your owner seems to think that by clapping his hands at you, you will stop. It's not working. You drive me around the bend. I seriously do…

Thank you all SOOO much for your posts. You brought tears to my eyes. It means so very much to me to have somewhere to come and talk to people who understand. :heart: This weekend is my birthday and I don't want to do anything..some people are saying just have a drink and you will feel better. Maybe that will help you and…

:sad: I am so sad and disaapointed in myself. I know that I need to lose weight and I had lost 8lbs in a week but that's cause I was sick and barfed for about 5 days straight. Not the best way to lose weight but for someone with food obsession and a history of eating disorder it still made me happy. I gained it all back…

I still have one ovary left. Not a very good one it seems. It is causing me so much grief, I am ready to take it out myself. I was put on Lupron to mimic not having any ovaries at all to see if my pain/symptoms would lessen. This was the step before going in and taking it out. Because the Lupron didn't change anything AND…

Mostly because I BARELY logged on here. Although I am quite new, I find that you all motivate me to stick to my plan and to be the person I am longing to be. I had a bad weekend pain wise so that had alot to do with my lack of motivation. It's hard to exercise let alone eat right when all I want to do is lay on the couch…

I had SEVERE hot flashes in the beginning (my TAH was 15 months ago). They slowly tapered off and then I had to go on Lupron and they started up again. To the point where I was drenched in the middle of the night. I am off Lupron now and they aren't as bad but I do still have them. I find that when I exercise I get MUCH…

Welcome to ONE-derland :happy:

I HATE my back fat! Especially when I sweat there...somedays I think that I need to put anti-persperent there. :grumble: Does rowing work to get rid of it?

Ghost always gets me. Stepmom with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. It kills me. Human Society TV shows The last episode of Dawson's Creek The Notebook... I am such a sap, I really cry at anything....just depends on my mood. The song "In The Arms of An Angel" gets me by the first note. I have to change the station. That…

I too have a mini goal of losing 10% of my body weight. That would be 19 lbs. I may have to have surgery this year so I want to lose as much weight as possible prior to that. It will be abdominal surgery and I know that I won't be very mobile afterwards. I want to make sure that I am well on my way to weighing 150 lbs by…

I just joined this site today. What an awesome place :bigsmile: I am hoping to lose 39 lbs by September 19th. I want to be the skinny bridesmaid in my sister's wedding! Right now the only exercise that I can do is walking. I have some other medical issues going on that prevent me from doing anything else right now. I…
