That's so funny---but great that you noticed and it worked

Welcome! Fruit is the good kind of sugar and it has a lot of fiber. Kudos for eating a lot - I would wait for your first weigh in to gauge how you did. If you see a weight loss then the sugar shouldn't be an issue. How are you with vegetables? feel free to add me - we can help motivate
-
add more fiber - vegetables are a great filler and very low in calories
-
I'm in - you can count on it - looking forward to the challenge!

Sounds yummy!

It's the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! I'm still trying and it's been 19 years. I get within 2lbs and then I blow it and gain it all back! I'm hoping I can make it this time

You can play ball with the young ones. When my girls were small they loved playing with Mom....duck, duck, goose; ring around the Rosie, four square, hopskoch or playing chase. This way everyone has fun and it's a workout too. Even your 10 year old can join the fun

I just added you, we can motivate each other. I just joined last week so I can use some friends and encouragement too!
-
Welcome. I joined last week. You will love this site. So many people here to encourage you.

Don't give up and don't beat yourself up. You can do it - just take small steps. Try and set a small goal each day.....let's say get 8-10 glasses of water in a day....next day walk one more block than you usually do .....next day - cook at home. Every small goal and you wind up making big changes over time. Hope this helps…

Down 2.2 my first week. I've had lots of encouragement with everyone on MFP. Thanks to all, I really think I can make it this time!

10 years ago, I would be 35 and I would tell myself to start saving for plastic surgery and I would tell myself to focus on my weight - I am worth it afterall. I think I would focus more on my career so that now, I can focus less on my career. I would tell myself how much I matter and how great my family is. oh, if only I…

that is so funny you mentioned Chic Filet - I just passed by that place tonite with my daughter and I told her I would never eat there because I didn't like the name.....Now, I think I will have to go back and try their food and eat my words.....ha,ha,ha.....

hi Lainie, Kudos for trying again. I've also tried several times - each time I get close to my goal weight, I blow it and gain it all back again - hoping to be sucessful this time and this site has really helped me for my 1st week. I weigh in tomorrow - nervous already, but each time we try, we're that much closer to our…

I know the feeling. I just read an article that said when you need the Milkshake, Chocolate etc...hold off and tell yourself you will eat it in 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes, go for a walk, call a friend, go shopping anything other than eating.....and then in 30 minutes, you won't even want the food any longer. Hang in…

What about soup? Do you have a Panera Bread by you? Their Chicken Noodle soup has only 150 calories per bowl. Taco Bell Fresco menu is pretty good and McDonald's wrap with out sauce is good too.

Welcome feel free to add me. We'll help to stay motivated

that cake sounds yummy - do you know the points value?

they key is to not beat yourself up. Today is a new day and what did you learn from it.

My name is Connie and I've been struggling with my weight for 19 years. I get almost to my goal weight and put it right back on. I'm tired of failures and I want to make it this time. Current weight: 174.4 loosing 20 lbs would put me at 154.4 4.4 away from my 1st goal weight in a long time I could really use the…

yeeeaaa, coun't me in! I can really use some motivation as I just started over again......I would love to love 20 lbs by Halloween.....and my 24th wedding anniversary is Oct 18th - so, it's a goal. Count me in! I'm so ready.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

good job - keep it going. I love it when it's the little stuff you notice....towels fitting, underwear shifting because it's too big...having to buy a new bra...I'm just starting over and can't wait to fit into things again!:laugh:
-
interesting - Love Dr. OZ....so did he recommend what moisturizer to wear? I'm currently using Clinique Youthful Surge and I love it.
-
Glad to know! I was just asking my teenager if she knew what that meant
-
Good job - way to stay motivated. I just joined, but haven't started working out yet - decided to focus on my eating for a few days before I add in too much.....but I'm a work in progress:ohwell:
-
BOBmama - how do you get 35g of fiber all in one day? What are you eating. I think the most I was able to get in was 25, but I think I am way lower on most days. Have you noticed a difference upping your fiber?
-
I love the Dulce Doleche one. I've tried all the flavors and they are all great. Especially when everyone at your house is eating ice cream, you can enduldge a little too and not feel deprived.
-
welcome! I just joined too - you will love the site!:smile:
-
Vickielu - your comments are great thanks for the help. Let me know how you do with your goals. I'm going to think about what goals I can set for myself - I was never good and setting goals and keeping them, so I think I just didn't set any. Time for change.
