Thanks for the idea KBM... those are great options when I'm in a situation I can physically leave... or mentally. What I'm also seeking though from other people who have my problem, is how do I make the leap from making a choice from intellectual place (like knowing walking/mediating is the better option) instead of the…

Yesterday 185 Today 186 So I'm up 2 pounds in 2 days... as I know I've not consumed an additional 7000 calories on top of eating maintenance calories, it has to be related to water retention. I know very soon I'll see a big drop. But really hate seeing that number go up! However, I can't do the weekly weigh in and stay on…

Yesterday: 184lbs Today: 185lbs This past Saturday, I stopped a 6 day period that included some binging, including alcohol. I avoided the scale those 6 days but since started weighing again on Saturday (first day "back" to eating well and working out again), I've been going up/down a pound or two last 4 days. I think my…

I've always wondered this myself. I have heard, though, if you exercise in cooler temperatures you're burning more calories to both move and stay warm.

Initial weigh in: Wed. Feb. 1=197 1st week weigh in: Wed. Feb. 8=195 2nd week weigh in: Wed. Feb 15=190 3rd week weigh in: Wed. Feb 21=188 4th week weigh in: Sun. March 4 = 184 I de-railed this week which included stopping weighing myself so missed 2/29, just getting back on this weekend... did want to at least get in even…

Yesterday 186lbs Today 186lbs Today will be challenging... going to an afternoon "Gourmet Cooking Club"... group of friends who are passionate about cooking... we gather once a month to bring a dish that fits the theme with wine picked especially to go well with that dish. Then another friend is hosting an Oscar Party…

I wish someone had explained to me that your joints and tendons, especially if you're overweight, aren't able to take the kind of pounding jogging inflicts on a daily basis. (Not even sure if you're a healthy weight it is even good for you.) It took me 3 injuries to figure out running 3 miles per day, 5 days in a row was…

yesterday 189 today 186 Woot... lost the Binge Bloat!!!!

Processing the advice thus far. And very grateful for it. Thank you.

Yesterday 188lbs Today 189lbs Yeah, price was officially paid for my over-indulging Tuesday evening.... then REALLY over-doing it Wednesday lunch, then dinner with blowing off my workout. Hoping that two days of being back on track put me back to 188lbs. We'll see tomorrow morning!

The skin about 3-4 inches my c-section scar is still numb. I recently managed to give myself 2nd degree burns with a heating pad because I couldn't feel my skin burning (nor could I feel anything as it healed).

Initial weigh in: Wed. Feb. 1=197 1st week weigh in: Wed. Feb. 8=195 2nd week weigh in: Wed. Feb 15=190 3rd week weigh in: Wed. Feb 21=188 Total lost pounds thus far is 9... really hoping to hit 186 next Wed. Lost two days though in the cause... went way overboard on calories then blew off my exercise yesterday.

yesterday 188lbs today 188lbs Two dinners in a row that were way over my calorie limit... today, I"m making up for it.

Yesterday: 188lbs Today: 188lbs Phew..... my binge at a Mardi Gras party didn't show up... I didn't think I ate/drank 3500 calories in that meal.... stuck to the one adult beverage and it was a vegetarian gathering... but there was more dishes than I expected (potluck) so had a heaping spoonful of each. And that King Cake!…

yesterday 189lbs today 188lbs As I suspected, that time of the month was upon me and brought its usual bloat!

Just be very very very safe if you're walking 2 hours at night outside somewhere. (Sorry, mother to teenage girl)

LIQUOR! Not that I've been drinking since I started my diet... it is something I have missed and will continue to miss (love a good dirty martini) but really don't need it. In fact, I'm convinced drinking is part of the reason I gained all my weight back. Not just those empty calories but because I always order high…

I'm giving up liquor for Lent so will have one "girly martini drink" tomorrow night... the red beans and rice is my recipe (and I'm going vegan as the hostess is vegetarian)... a very small serving of Jambalya my vegetarian friend is making (very curious is to what she's putting in it)... and will probably have a couple of…

Yes... I think it helps that I am totally anonymous site for me. I have purposefully not "friended" on this site people who I know through Facebook are using it too. I know me, I'd start leaving off foods I'm embarrassed I ate. Plus, totally embarrassed that in two years I gained back 35 of the 45 pounds I lost. I'm sure…

yesterday 188lbs today 189lbs Period about to start.... been fighting this bloat for several days!

How much water are you drinking?

Always shoot to keep in stock: Various beans Fiber One English Muffins brown rice canned chopped tomatoes (love the fire roasted or ones with green chilies) EAS vanilla protein powder apples bananas frozen berries OJ with Vitamin D and Calcium Morningstar Meal Starter Crumbles (soy product) Morningstar Vegetarian sausage…

Welcome and good luck!

Yesterday 189lbs Today 188lbs I think I'm getting the hang of the whole calorie deficit thing. I'm shooting to (healthily and with guidance of my doctor) create one that equals 3lbs per week loss. What I'm seeing is that even though I created that deficit a few days prior and the weight didn't come off... give it couple of…

Thanks so much for the feedback and advice.... I truly appreciate it and will try it!

I needed her to get me in the habit for sure. But after a couple of weeks, it is now a part of my routine. If she doesn't come with me, she doesn't go... and she is not only a friend but a friend who needs to workout. She just isn't obese like I am (or was, now just "overweight").... but she had a heart attack a couple of…

Yesterday: 190lbs Today: 189lbs Woot! I'm in the 180s again!!!!

My spouse is 15 years older than me. I love him but will point out to any 25 year old interested in a 40 year old man that there does come a period where you feel a bit mismatched in terms of interests because of the age difference. Now that he is nearly 60, we're having troubles finding things we both enjoy. He's slowing…

yesterday 191lbs today 190lbs Not sure it was the dandelion tea (recommended for PMS bloat) or just the way weight loss happens sometimes (for no obvious reason you gain a pound then lose a pound)... but back down to 190. I am still holding out hope that I will reach 186 pounds by month's end. We shall see.
