  • Well, thank you all for the encouragement and congratulations on my 3-pound loss last week. Unfortunately, I have not been on plan the last two days. We have this chocolate store called Hoffman's Chocolates just a couple of blocks away from my house, and it's right next door to the theater I am rehearsing in for the next…

  • Hi, guys - I've been swamped at work, but wanted to give an update on my Biggest Losers 4th weigh-in this morning. I lost another 3 pounds! That's 13.6 pounds total. I am PSYCHED! (And that's another $45 into my dance fund jar ... Yippee!) The bad news is the 3-pound loss wasn't enough for me to come in 1st this week - I…

  • CherryS wrote this: "fat, 50, invisible slump that I've heard so many women go through" This PERFECTLY describes me at this point in my life! But I'm determined to change it right now. Still on track since January 16. I'm proud of myself. CP in So. Fla.

  • Darn, I was so busy yesterday I forgot to log in, so my 19-day streak is over. Oh, well, I stayed on plan, and that's the important thing, right? It's so much easier to keep to a routine during the week when I have to work. Hope everyone has a restful night's sleep. NIghty-night. CP in So. Fla.

  • Pipcd34 Thanks for the shout of encouragement! Terri_mom Those restaurant calories add up FAST. Sorry you have to do extra biking, but just think how proud of yourself you'll be when you finish the workouts! Bumblebeejec Re: Biggest Loser Contest.

  • Sylvia, you poor thing! Thank goodness you got to the hospital before disaster could strike. I suffer from kidney stones, and at my next attack (which hopefully will never happen, but you never know), I'm going to remember what you went through so that if the pain gets too bad, I'll go to the ER to have it checked out…

  • Oh my goodness, I haven't checked in since Wednesday and I have 165 posts to read! I will get to them this weekend. For now, just wanted to say that I lost 3.2 pounds this week when I weighed in this morning for my work's Biggest Loser contest!!!!! Yay for me and for all of us who are trying so hard! Have a great weekend…

  • I absolutely loved someone’s quote from last month – Don’t reward yourself with food. You are not a dog.” That one is going to stick with me! The problem is finding stuff to reward myself with that is not food. I was only able to read to page 2 of the posts, but here are my comments so far. I’ll try to catch up tonight.…

  • Darn, I didn't make the top three in the Biggest Losers for this week. The men dominated this week. I'm still very happy with my progress, though, and I am optimistic that I will come in the top 3 next week because Super Bowl Sunday is coming up this weekend. I have no interest in football, so I'm pretty sure I can stay on…

  • And the results are in ... exactly 2 pounds down this week, 7.4 pounds down since we started the Biggest Loser contest at my work 2 weeks ago. Yay! Last week I came in 2nd. I'll let you know if I make the top 3 this week when the results come out later this afternoon. Would love to write more, but I'm at work and there are…

  • Hi, everyone - Just wanted to stop by and say I'm still on track, have logged my food every day since January 19, and I'm eating tons of nutritious foods. I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. Wish me luck. My weigh-in for Week 2 of the Biggest Loser challenge at my work is tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how it…

  • Good morning, all! My goodness, listening to all the stories on the news and on this thread about the terrible weather up north makes me so grateful I live in South Florida. I am just tickled pink at myself that I have been on plan and logging my food for 12 days in a row! That's actually a huge achievement for me. I…

  • Hi, everyone - I'm new to this group and I'm so happy I found you all! I first read Eat to Live about 2 years ago. I thought the science was sound and it actually made perfect sense to me, but it just sounded too hard to do, so I never tried to incorporate it into my life. Well, here I am at 53 years old and over 100…

  • Hi, everybody - so glad I found this group. I'm 53, 5'2", and 230 pounds. I have over 100 pounds to lose like everyone here. I truly believe we can do this. We just have to un-learn bad habits and replace them with good ones. Someone in another group suggested buying 4 oz containers at the dollar store, and putting 100…

  • Wow, I LOVE reading these posts. So inspirational and keeps me motivated. But I have a technical question, because I don't have much experience with message boards. I want to reply to each post as I read it. Is there an easy way to keep track of everyone so you can respond? Or do I just have to scroll up and down between…

  • Mary fr Minn - 25 pounds in 100 days - wow! That's inspirational. Thanks for the feedback. Fitgranny - a diabetes scare was the impetus for me to get serious. I wish you the best of luck. Beautifulluv - GREAT resolutions! Really specific and do-able. I think I'm going to write monthly goals and keep them posted at my desk.…

  • Hello, everyone - I'm new here. I'm 53, 5'2" tall and [gulp] 113 pounds overweight. I am in shock at the number on the scale. 230 pounds? I shake my head and think, how the hell did I get here? But I know very well how I got here. I eat all the wrong foods like crazy, and I don't move. There really is no secret to it, is…

  • Hi, everyone - I'm in! I'm starting a fitness challenge at my local health club tomorrow, and I've been told that in 8 weeks, we're all expected to "do" a 5K. Although I'm sure they'll let me walk it, I've decided I'm going to run it. I have an interval timer on my watch that I use for the intervals. I wish I had known…
