It's harder to stick to the calories than I thought. They only allow me 1200 calories. :( MON - Calorie +/- : N ~ Challenge: Walked 3 miles in 60 mins TUES - Calorie +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge: WED – Calorie +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge: THU – Calorie +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge: FRI – Calorie +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge: SAT – Calorie +/- : Y/N…

I believe that I can do this challenge :) Just starting back today.

That is great, thank you!

Great Job! You look awesome!

I used to go to the bariatric clinic and they said you can have two diet drinks a day. I love diet pepsi and I do have some everyday, usually 1-2, but not more than 3. I believe as long as you are drinking enough water to make up for it that it is okay.

Pretty Woman is my favorite movies...that is exactly what I was thinking when she said that. :laugh:

Progresso has a soup in a can and two servings of it is only 180 calories.

I have tried so many diet pills it isn't funny:sad: . None of the ones that I found done the wonders they swear to do. I am losing more and feeling better now with exercise and somewhat :blushing: of a healthy diet. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have lost 10 lbs in about a month and a half to two months. I don't think I look any smaller, although my husband thinks I do. But I do stay hungry all of the time. I am also tired a lot more. So I know what you are going through. I just started going to the gym w/ my husband and am changing things up a lot from what I…

Welcome:flowerforyou: If we can help in anyway, just ask. If we don't know the answers, someone will find them for you. Good Luck :happy: BTW, I wish all I had to worry about was 10lbs.:sad:

I know what you mean. I am close to a gym and just haven't been able to afford it. I have been using my treadmill and have lost almost ten lbs in one month. I just meant that I felt it more when I was on the eliptical. I guess I thought it would be a little easier because I have been using my treadmill for a while. :cry: I…

I got on the eliptical at the gym tonight and it kicked my butt...I guess that's what I need, but I felt like I was going to die or atleast have a heart attack. I guess treadmills really don't do a whole lot for you.:sad: :devil: :sad:

It's on the left side...which I had that ovary removed already due to a cyst I had.

Thanks everyone! I am going to join the gym with my husband tonight, so maybe I will just use theres for a while until I can figure out what I want. :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Welcome!:flowerforyou: We are all here for support if you need it. :happy: Good Luck!:happy:

I am having a sharp pain in my lower abdomen when I try to do my crunches or have a bowel movement. Could I have just pulled a muscle or should I have this checked out? :huh:

I want to get an eliptical machine and I was wondering what is the best one for a reasonable price. After researching it, it burns a lot more calories than my treadmill. Can anyone help me???

I would just start counting when you get up and end when you go to bed each day...You may go over some since you will be up a longer period of time, but that's okay. I would figure out ahead of time what you are going to eat and add some low cal snacks to get you through and that way you don't have to think so much about…

Sounds good, I went out for Mexican and couldn't find exact calories for where I ate...but the ones I found from a different restaurant were really high, the treadmill is going to have it's feel of me tonight. :sad: Oh well, we learn from our mistakes.

Today is 11/23/07 and I weighed in at 181.8 lbs this morning.

You don't want your body to go into starvation mode. I believe as long as you have something that isn't too heavy of a snack, you should be fine.

Hi Saskie! Welcome to MFP. It is a great site with a lot of helpful members and some great resources. We are here for you whenever you need us and we definitely know the journey that lies ahead, we are all here for the same reason...with the exception of my husband, he is going to start doing it, but his goal is to gain…

I started at 188 and would like to get down to 130:love: , I am now at 181, so 51 more pounds to go. :sad: I will do it...I just have to stick with my routine because I always seem to give up too easily. Thank you for everyone's support...this site is a god send.:drinker:

Welcome!!! I hope that this site will be great motivation for you. There are some wonderful people on here who will help you in any way that they can. Good luck!!! :flowerforyou:

I have decided to join you...unfortunately this is me!!!:sad: :explode: :sad: I didn't have anyone to take the picture for me so I did a self timer...which makes it hard to figure out where to stand to get the whole body...

I didn't do very good today either (I went over by about 800)...I think I kind of knew that I would do badly and let myself (no self control I guess). But the main thing is that we try harder tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that, etc... Maybe you should think about eating before you go…

I can relate...I think when you lose weight, you let yourself get back in to old habits that make you gain weight, rather than continuing what you have been doing to maintain or lose more weight. I also think that's why people tend to gain the weight back that they lose. :explode: You have to remember though, if you get…
