I am motiviated when I get on the scale and it has gone down again and again . . . . . also when people I haven't seen for awhile and they tell me the great things that are fun to hear. I am also addicted to my walks . . . . I crave them until I get to do them. That motivates me as that has never happened to me before . .…

I forgot to post that it is under the 200 mark!! Yiiiipppeeee!!!:smile: :happy: :glasses:

I would like to join also - I do walk everyday for about 60 minutes - but it is nice to know there is someone to check in with! :smile:

Wow!! That is great!! I am so lloking forward to the day I can say 55 lbs are gone!!! Have a great day!!!

You are doing awesome!! Keep it up!! I understand how you feel though - it gets hard at times. But you are doing this for yourself! So, keep on keeping on!!!!

Thanks for the great words!!! ANd you are right - I have done good and I am happy with that . . . I will see what happens tomorrow! Thanks again!

I am sooo lookiing forward to tomoorw! I am so ready for my scale to say 199!! It said 200.7 yesterday and I won't weigh in until tomorrow . . . . wish me luck!!!!! This would be something to put a HUGE smile on my face !!!!

A heart monitor?? Is this the same as my pedometer?? I am not sure I have ever heard of this heart monitor - can you give me the total namebrand so I can look it up?? Thanks!!!

What works for me is the walking every day and the water I drink. Plus, I have totally changed the way my family eats. We eat well balanced meals, no junk really. Do we eat some junk stuff from time to time, well yeah! But for the most part, tons of veggies and portion control. It sure takes work but I love to see the…

Great to know that I am burning more then I thought! I did 4 miles in 54 minutes - so I did much better! Yeah! I am in the need of a different tracker then! Where did you get the Nike thing you use?? Thanks!!!

It sure is easier to get it on then off huh?? :smile:

You burn 800-900 caolries with your 4 mile walk?? Or is this in a week? I walk 4 miles every day as well and I guess I wasn't aware it was that much - I do it in about 50 minutes. I think something must be wrong with my ped??

I think that knowing someone is out there who truly "understands" is a great thing! We are all in this together!!! I am off to go for a good walk!!! Enjoy your day everyone!!!:happy:

:bigsmile: I have to try and see if this works! I have wondered about the smiley faces as well and wondered what they were about when I did a reply - is this one of those duh moments?? ha ha THanks for letting all of us know how that works!!

I do count my flavore adding to my water as water. For me it is the only way I will get the water in - without the little pkg's, I would not be able to get in the amount I drink. I was told that the amount to drink is half your weight - so I drink about 100 oz daily. It has been working for me. I also asked my friend who…

I am looking for a good book with all the listings of calories - anybody have any suggestions of where to find one? And not a huge one - a small one that could fit in a purse. Thanks!

Thanks! I am starting this morning! I am looking forward and curious to see how off I am as well! Have a great day!

Good Morning! Question here - I haven't been doing the food journal - is this something that truly is helpful? I don't have time to go to the pc everytime I eat - is it okay to do it a few times a day? I do have access to the pc all day, but I am thinking I might forget, so I would like to do it a few times a day? Also,…

Thanks for the kind words! I am going to do it this time - I am ready!

2 great idea's! Thanks! Both sound nummy and something my family would like. I am going to try both of them this week. This is where I always struggle - is making supper for my family. Thanks again!

Well, we are both 42 and ready to do it! I have never done anything on line like this as well. We can do it! :-)

Hello! I started here a few days ago. I am so ready to keep going with this weight loss! I am in the right mind set this time. I started focusing on it about 2 months ago and so far so good! I am going to do it this time! 22 pounds gone so far!!

I did that colan cleanse thing once - and it was not a good thing! It was a ton of pills - if I remember right it was like 17 total pills in one day - and it gave me awful cramps, and I had blood in my stool at the end of the couple days I did it - so, I would be careful!

Anyone have any good idea's on mixing up my supper at all? I have a husband and a daughter and I would like some idea's on how to not make supper boring and have the same old stuff all the time . . . thoughts?? Thanks!

Got it figured out!!

Hello - I would love to have that link for your crockpots recipes - cjknels@hutchtel.net Thanks!!

How do I get that tickler to show up on my posts??

Hello! I have been here for about a week now - anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to keep family suppers not boring or not the same thing all the time?? THanks!

My personal ticker isn't showing up on here - any idea's??

Yeah I am excited! I actually started 2 months ago and have lost 22 lbs! So, I know I can do it! I just need to keep on keeping on! I also need to focus on different meals at supper time. That is where my challenege comes from - feeding my family and not always chicken! :-)
