I'm down to 170...I don't think 165 is going to happen, but I got really close! Also...who has a double chin? NOT ME! (anymore :) See ya, Shelly

I drank alcohol tonight...whew, it wasn't heavy, but it was nice. It was nice to 'relax' with a little after a hard day of work drink. It was one drink and that was enough to calm me down. My boyfriend of 2 years has never seen me take a drink till tonight...so we will see what happens tomorrow...also, I hadn't had a drink…

Yep, I think I set my goal too high as well...I'm at 174 and I wanted to be at 165. Still possible I guess...but not safe...so I'll get as close as I can get...as long as I am under 170 I will be elated. Have a Great Friday EVERYONE!

Thanks again everyone. As for visiting with my boyfriend about this, he knows I want children, he knows I was terribly upset yesterday...but I wasn't able to talk about it or anything else without bawling yesterday...I've had a few tears today, but after some rest tonight, I should feel much better. I am planning on…

Thank you everyone. I'm still crying, but, I do understand what you are saying. I will do my best to stay calm and realize that I do love and care for these women, and I am truly happy for them. Thanks again for your kind words. I'm going to see if I can de-puff my eyes now...probably not, I look pretty rough, but I still…

Okay...this is personal, not totally weight/nutrition related... You all only know me through this web-site and I am going through a personal crisis...and I thought I could share the problem with you. I am in love with my boyfriend, I am hoping that I get to marry him within the next year or two. The problem is, I have…

I went to the doctor today to check on my progress and my scale said that I had lost 20 pounds...but her scale said I had lost 22 pounds...now how messed up is that? The doctor's scale said I lost MORE weight? I was so excited. My doctor was too...the only thing she said was that she didn't completely recommend how fast I…

So, I've been gone because I had the flu...but I am feeling much better...although, I have my monthly visitor right now and a major headache and my house is a mess...but I worked out today and had a great time. Also, I haven't gained any weight...down 19 lbs! Thanks for letting me share...I'm back on the wagon! Shelly

Thanks everyone...I am on the mend. I am even going to enjoy some solid food tonight. No work tomorrow, I don't think I'll do anyone any good. Take care! :sick:

Hey All... I just wanted to inform you of the absolute best diet I have ever experienced. It is called the flu diet. All you have to do is work in a school of 360 kids and get hugs from them on a daily basis and voila, you have the flu. On this wonderful diet you will experience stomach dropping explosions that will not…

I totally understand. I was feeling down and out this evening and thought I'd take myself out to eat...you know emotional eating...and so before I went out, I looked online at the restraunt's websites to check on calories, carbs, and sodium content in the foods I like. I looked at a couple of websites, and found that there…

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm going to get some rest tonight and see how it goes tomorrow. I'll call my doctor in the morning. I appreciate your help. It is nice to know there are so many great people out there. Thanks. Shelly

Alright, I'll call her in the morning and see what she says. Luckily I have an easy day at work tomorrow and I can run to the doctor if I need to. Thanks.

nausious (sp) and bathroom...so I went, and I feel a little better...the chills subsided, but I am still dizzy.

I had a tyson chicken patty on a whole wheat bun with american cheese and 2 snackwells cookies...and I feel very full

Okay All... I finished supper about an hour ago and I was standing up talking with my neighbor for about 35 min. and then suddenly my stomach dropped, I broke out into a cold/hot sweat, I got terribly light-headed, my neighbor had two heads, and I also was very pale. I have no idea what happened. I am still very pale and…

I did 45 min. walking today. The machine said that I burned 284 cal. So, I was able to eat lunch at school today. Spaghetti! I hated school lunch when I was a student, but now that I am a school counselor, it actually isn't too bad. So, I am also down a total of 15 lbs...and the only thing that I am super happy about is…

That sounds great! When I'm actually awake I'll have to reread your suggestions and perhaps make myself some quiches. Thanks! Shelly

I'm at 179 now and I've already lost 14 lbs in 4 weeks so if everything continues the way it is I should be able to be down to 158, but I'm going to shoot for 165...I want to see the 60's again...I haven't been there for 5 or more years...the last time I dieted was when I got a divorce and I only made it to the 70's...so…

Absolutely...I'd love to join you and lose weight with you. I have about 50 more pounds to go before I reach my goal of 130. I have been working very, very hard on it the last month and I've been able to lose 14 pounds in one month. I've got a long way to go. My best friend is getting married in July, at a destination…

Ever since I started working out and losing weight...I have been so cold. I have been keeping my house at 74 degrees which is up from 66 degrees last winter...and I've been needing to wear long sleeves everyday and that never happens...am I doing something wrong? How can I stay warmer? Thanks.

Yep...Me too! I want to join. Right now, I am working at 6 days a week 30-45 min. cardio and 3 days a week 45 min. weights. I have a lot of motivation right now because my doctor said...lose it or be in trouble. So, I don't want to be 27 and in trouble, so I am going to get rid of this weight. I am already down 14 lbs in 3…

Today was so very hard to complete. I had a good day personally...I was able to sleep in and relax, but I was so hungry for anything. But, you know what? I didn't just go out and binge, I ate a peanutbutter sandwich and drank lots of water to fill me up. I didn't break and eat the oreos in my cabinet. I was crabby towards…

Thanks Cheryl...Hopefully this will be more addictive than my food cravings! Take care! Shelly :happy:

Thanks everyone! I am keeping it going. I thought dinner last night was going to wreck my whole day, but I did good...kept it all moderate! And I worked cardio and strength training today! Feeling good...now, if only I could get all of my other stuff done! :)

I'm a 27 year old female who was simply told by her doctor that "You've got to lose it or you'll be in trouble." Then I got my test results back and I looked the information up online and found that I was already in trouble. So, I'm working on bettering my cholesterol and weight so that I don't become diabetic and so that…
