I've never heard of this - what are you substituting in the cake mix for the diet sodas? In other words what is the recipe? Thanks - I am still rather new at this - and sugar is my biggest problem. Thanks for any help you can give.

fruit is a good bet in this case (ie an apple is 80 cal) yogurt 80-110, strawberries 4 large 23 cal. 1 oz low fat cheese 88 cal. Hope these suggestions help.

Try not to look at this as a diet but a lifestyle change - just start recording and walking some - see where you are at. In doing mine, I found that sugar is my biggest culprit - so I am now using sugar free creamer in my coffee (that cut out over 3/4 of my sugar intake. Also, trying to eat more veg/fruit/and my bread is…

My favorite bar - taste good/chewy/moist is Quaker Chewy-Fiber&Omega Bars (Peanut Butter is my favorite but Dark Choc Chunk is great too). They have 160 cals, 34 carbs, 2 fat, 4 prot, 10 g fiber. They feel me up and help boost my fiber/carb intake which is always low if I don't eat these. They come in a box of 6. Hope you…

That is so cool. I find that I try to even sqeeze in a 5 min walk here and there helps. I walk on my lunch 1/2 for 15 min-20 min. Whatever I can get above that is gravy. :happy:

I buy the single serving "green giant" vegatables the ones that run about $1.30-$1.10. They are label like "Healthy Weight" or "Immunity Blend". Then they also have a package of broccoli and cheese sauce (comes iwth 4 to a package). These are really good. The immunity blend has its own sauce. Many times I will take these…

I agree - I have only started on this site 3 days ago. It is true - I eat more now then I ever did before. Today I had a Quaker Oat Bar, Coffee with Cream, chicken and whole grain rice with mixed vegables, nuts (2 oz), apple, banana, and I still had enough calories left to have a small piece of pork chop and cheesy…

Thanks for sharing - true success gives us a lot of motivation. Keep all of us in your prayers.

That is so cool. I started walking on my lunch 1/2 at work. about two weeks ago (15 min to 1/2 hr). I just joined this site 3 days ago. Now I am walking at lunch and doing 1/2 hour of elliptical at night. It is amazing that once we start moving how quickly our bodies respond (not just with aches, but with more stamina). I…

I'm sorry I don't know how to "post a new thread" If you can do it that would be great. Thx for your support!

That is a true victory. I wish we could be more creative to show all of you teachers how much you are appreciated. You guys have one of the most important jobs there is. THANKS.:flowerforyou:

I didn't pledge - wish I had - but I am just getting started. Maybe we could just do it on our own right now. I pledge to loose 5 pounds in the next month (my goal is a pound a week) and then I will take 5 pounds of food to the local pantry. What do you all think about doing this too?

You are on the right track - I think with all of us sharing our stories and giving each other support - we cannot NOT win. Good luck.

What Jillian Michaels radio show?

I had just started on this website yesterday. I love it already. Its free and yet it allows us to track everything very easily (no counting points for me). Also, it allows us to talk to each other, support each other. I pray for you to have great success - you will - you have already started on the right path.

Great Job - I never really thought about "pits" that way.

I just joined tonight and have even more to take off then that. I really believe exercise is the key - we all need to just start moving more than the day before - little/lifelong changes - not diets. Good Luck!

its my first day too!

It's my first day to. I started it off with good exercise - food (needs improvement)

Congrats - I just joined and I am reading all of your success stories to help keep me motivated. I think you are right the key is exercise.

I totally understant. It is good to hear that the tracking really helps. I am the biggest I have ever been in my life and I feel I can't talk to anyone. I am just trying to eat better (lifetime changes) and exercise. It was nice to hear your success story.

It sure does!

Hey - how did you post this type of ticker? Is it free too?

Your cat is cute - it sounds like you have made remarkable progress. How did you add the ticker to your site?

Thank you - how is it working for you - is it really free as it shows so far (the few minutes I have been on it)

I was happy to find something "free" to help me keep track of my progress.
