Hi! Anyone need a weightloss friend? I love the outdoors and I am looking forward to getting out this summer. I have lost 7 lbs. and had success with this site. It is time consuming, but it works. ConnieLynn

Another good nights sleep, although I woke up at 4:30 a.m. instead of 5:30 a.m. I had more than 1500, so it was a wash day, but I plan to exercise today, so hopefully it all evens out. I love sleeping well, not being light-headed and losing weight. They never tell you how important food is to the weight loss experience. I…

I Slept through the night!!!! I had a glass of skim milk before bed and hopefully that is what did the trick. I also had 1700 calories instead of 1500 yesterday and some soup that was high in fat for dinner. One night at a time, we shall see what works. Thank you for all of your help. Blessings to you, Connie Lynn

Exercise effects my sleep as well. I only exercise in the morning. I have never been an evening exerciser. I am a morning person, partly because I have always had a good night sleep. I follow a very strick bedtime schedule, even on the weekends. I always go to bed around 10 p.m. and get up around 5:30-6a.m. If I exercise…

Thank you for your great ideas. I will give them a try and let you know how it worked. I am eating 1500 calories a day, sometimes I calorie cycle, but I always have at least 1500. Thank you for your help, Connie Lynn

I have noticed that when I am cutting out 500 calories a day, (recommended amount to lose a pound a week), I am not sleeping well. I usually wake up hungry in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. My mind also seems to be less focused. Mind you, I am eating 3-4 meals a day and eating something…

Hi, 7th grade is the hardest grade. I had problems in that grade as well. We are not kids anymore and not adults. It is a difficult transition. My son is in 7th grade now and he is angry a lot and I know it is because school can be so exhausting and make you feel overexposed. Thank you for sharing your story. Your honesty…

Hi, I thought it might help some of us to examine our thoughts and habits as to why we became overweight in the first place. I had decided I was going to eat what I wanted and not worry about it. Well after doing that for several years, I gained 40 lbs. I also think I did not realize how important it is to examine the…

Good point. I think it is important to check with the Doc. I still think that it is more of a stress on Women to lose weight. As I go through the next few months, time and info. from my Doctor will tell. Connie Lynn

This Thread is about sharing if we have experienced illnesses, while we are reducing calories. Being Women, we have more stress on our bodies and therefore the weight-loss may stress us further and I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else. Thank you, Connie Lynn

I really have been eating very healthy and taking a multiple vitamin. I am 45 years old, so I may experience more stress as a result of my age and my monthly friend.:laugh: Since I have been doing it for 3 months now, it is a life style change and I see myself doing it for the next year or more. Thank you for sharing,…

Hi, I use to eat what ever I wanted for years. I had reached a point in my life where I had decided that I didn't care if I was over weight and I used the weight to protect myself for various personal reasons. Now that I am older, I realized that it is hurting my health to be overweight and that if I want to be around for…

My point is that because we already have the stress of our monthly cycle, we may experience illnesses when our bodies become over stressed. It may not happen to everyone, but I have had 2 illnesses in the 3 months that I know are directly related to my body being over stressed. I am looking to see if others have had this…

I too experience problems with motivation the week of my period. Because I have had it for 30 years now, I just give myself a break for a couple days, because I think our bodies need that. I eat a little more those days and I think that is beneficial and what our bodies need. I think that because our bodies go through our…

Sometimes it is good to have a break. You probably needed one and now can get back to it with renewed energy. I know after I took off 2 weeks for vacation, I am now excited to get back on track. Hope that helps, Connie Lynn

I think we are putting a stress on our bodies and we should be aware of that so that we go slowly. It is good for us to compare notes so that we know to make sure we get all of those vitamins, and good food as we lose the weight. I think it is better when we know what to expect. I am sorry about your cold. The changes we…

Good Morning, I was wondering if others have experienced their bodies demonstrating the stress as we lose weight. I have gone pretty slowly, 9 lbs. in 13 weeks, and have had 2 problems in those 3 months. I have seen mostly positive things i.e. better digestion, more energy, endurance, smaller waist, etc., but I have also…

Anyone else had time off and made it back to MFP? Connie Lynn

It is good to know that you can take a break, even go a little overboard, and not feel like you've thrown the towel in. Good perspective. Connie

I know that cruises are dangerous for weight gain. I think some cruises lines have adjusted so that you can stay on your diet while you cruise. I love cruises! Connie Lynn

Thank you for this Banks. I printed it off and put it in my weight-loss journal. Blessings to you. Connie Lynn
