Hi gals! I just thought I would check in. Weight Watchers is doing nothing for me so far ... but it really has nothing to do with their program, I am just not in the right place mentally to stay motivated with any eating plan right now. I'm basically the same weight as when I started, maybe even up a couple of pounds if…

Hi Gals! I am going to check in with you at least once a week, so am setting a spring goal and weekly exercise goals. Goldk - don't be so hard on yourself, you have had a tough couple of months, just try to concentrate on one or two things that you really want to change this week - maybe tracking and measuring? My goal…

Thanks for the WW advice gals! I did end up joining WW, and to be honest haven't made enough of an effort yet to really do the program. I've been super busy at work and home, but that's just an excuse because if I really wanted to I would take the time to get going with it! I did lose 1.5 according to the WW scale - but…

Thanks Goldk for sending me the new topic for spring! I didn't make my goal - in fact I gained 10 pounds over the winter (and I had gained 10 pounds the previous year too ... so that is 20 pounds back on of the 35 that I lost a few years ago)! AAARGH! This last month I haven't been doing any tracking, eating whatever is in…

sunshyncatra - CONGRATS! on reaching your goal weight! I'm sorry I didn't see that before now! Good for you!!!!! I'm still struggling a bit. I've got a bum left foot (plantar-fasciitis - diagnosed years ago and comes and goes, is worse this time), and my wonky right knee from sledding over a week ago. I did go to step…

Kristen - I'm so sorry! That is too young, and so fast. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. Take care of yourself! Leann

I am really having trouble, one good day - three bad ... I need to turn that around. So far, so good today ... but boy am I down in the dumps! I hurt my knee sledding on Saturday so haven't had nearly my normal activity, plus this cold weather just plain stinks! Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no Did I reach…

There are many studies/books that talk about the physical reasons for sugar cravings that is very much like an addiction. To stop the cravings, essentially you have to get out of the sugar(high-carb) food cycle. Very simply - every time you have a high carb meal/snack you spike your blood sugar, your body will produce…

I agree with the poster that said to take it slow.... just pick one or two things to change this week and concentrate on them. Making it all or nothing is too hard. Everyone is different with what motivates them, and there are many, many ways to lose weight. What has worked for me to stop the carb cravings is a plan from a…

You look fantastic, great job! You sound so mature and eloquent for someone your age, you should be very proud of yourself!

Thanks Shirley for sharing your story about your trip with your daughters, I've had a few people tell me the same thing ... and the good news is that my daughter decided to start speaking to me again last night, so hopefully the memories of our trip will be fonder as time passes! Did you stay within your nutritional goals?…

Welcome ShanRaeC! I see that you are another Minnesotan! I am taking a nutrition class, and one of the things we discussed is how important sleep can be for weightloss.

Goldk - I hope you are right! At this point she is still only talking to me in monosyllables, aaargh! :ohwell:

It feels like I've been gone FOREVER .. but only about 10 days. Those 10 days were NOT very good eating days, so I am up a couple of pounds - but will hopefully take them right back off again. New Year's was uneventful, but too much food around. My trip to New York with my 19yo daughter was fun but stressful. We did a TON…
