I did WW online. Started Jan 08 and then quit around February of this year. The E tools are great and they are alot like the tools here except you count points instead of calories, you log in your food just like you do here and you count your exercise and eat the exercise points the same day. You also got weekly points…

You must have different factors than I do - mine is 187 for daily goal.

I was disappointed Tara did not win, but she is still an inspiration. Helen - I agree, probably a little too thin and her arms need some work. Jerry - how wonderful. But for only being 64, he looks like he is way older. Anyway, I was hoping the older gal would make next season, but at least they will give her the home…

Do you set your own goals on carbs or go with the recommended? If you set your own, what would you consider a good daily goal?

I was with Weightwatchers online. I used the e tools. There you count points, not calories. But the basics are the same for both this site and WW. You have to eat your exercise points and log in what you are eating. The only thing I find different from logging in what you have eaten here vs the WW E tools is that you see…

Had a good day yesterday. DH gave me a beautiful necklace for Mother's Day. I made lunch for all the family and took it to my mother's house. DB and his family were there. It was nice getting everyone together. They had to leave and after, DH took my mother's car and washed and vaccumed it, while I cleaned out her garage.…

I made this for Mother's Day. DH tasted it before I put the sour cream in and then after I put the sour cream in. Said to him, it was better without. Served it with homemade mexican rice and it was a hit.

Mowing the grass in the summer here is Texas is a challenge, but really gets a good sweat out of me! Last weekend, I did both front and back because DH was working. What a work out!

go look up the calorie count for the cake. That kept me away from birthday carrot cake today!

I wanted my BMI to be in the healthy range and not to get too skinny, so I found that 145 was a good range for me.

Are you eating all your calories? You have to eat them or your body will go into starvation mode and hold on to the fat. Try to find your "comfort zone" when you eat also. How hungry are you before you eat and then how full do you feel after. You will learn to adjust the amount that you are eating. Good luck on your…

Good for you for not succumbing to the temptation. I don't know how people eat that stuff. It's just full of salt and fat. I work in a hospital so I know about the doctors and nurses...:wink:

Looks like a great recipe! DH would love it. Will make this weekend!

I like that he went back to his old high school, showed them his before poster and encouraged any of the guys to work out with him and to talk with him about any problems they might be having with their weight.

I weigh myself daily. If I don't I can really get out of control. I consider what I am doing a lifestyle change. I'll be doing this for the rest of my life. If I get off track one day, back on the next day. I know it is a constant battle, especially in the 50's. But getting into a size 10 again after I don't know how many…

WTG!!!! Keep up the great work. It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it???

I want Tara to win also. However, I did watch an outtake on the website of Helen where she takes her husband to the gym with her to get him started on losing weight. She tells him that from that point on, she came first. She had to make sure that she got to the gym and worked out and she wasn't going back to the way it…

Like a pig in a blanket, only square. Also, cream cheese rolls, rolls with jelly.

Dont cha love shopping in your closet and finding things that you grew out of or bought and they did fit quite right. I've found a couple of cruise outfits that way. Great NSV!!!

Oh do I remember those days! That is part of how I gained all the weight I did. Every Thursday, Kolaches from the drug rep! Have new temptations now, but everyone here has seen me drop 25 lbs so I feel I have to keep up the good work and not partake in the sweets.

This has been the best season of Biggest Loser! Tara and Helen are such an inspiration. Last week, when they were trying on their goal outfits, I could not get over how skinny Helen looked. They are usually covered up with T shirts and you cannot seen their figures very well. Also, I googled an image of Tara and one comes…

Morning all! This has happened to me also, but then it catches up with me in a week.:sad:

Good morning all! I'm am doing very well on the scale this week after finding this site. I was very motivated this AM, got on the treadmill and burned 350 calories! Thanks for all your responses and good wishes. Hope to get to know you better!

I stalled after losing 25 on Weightwatchers online. I did some reading and found that as you get closer to goal you will lose slower. I got discouraged with WWer's and decided to try this site. I feel I have to log everything in order to be accountable. Hopefully this will jumpstart my weight loss again. Once I see the…

Kathy -I'm in Texas too. We should sweat off quite a few lbs this summer! Beth

thanks for posting. I'm sure that is part of my problem.

We have a mama cardinal who is nesting in our Norfolk pine in a planter on our patio. It is right by our bedroom window. We had terrible storms last week and although she was under the underhang of the house, the wind was blowing it around. She hung on for dear life but came out just fine. Today, as I was getting out of…

Thank you!

I was doing Core on WW. I knew the Core foods and what foods had points and what foods didn't, so losing for me on Core was easy. They changed their plan last December, to Momentum. It was combining the Core and Flex, so I had to count points again for everything. I just didn't seem motivated to doing it and suspended my…

Hi all. I'm a newbie. I'll be 55 in a week and a half, had originally lost 25 lbs on WW online, then gained 5 lb back. I left WW online this past January. I thought I could do it without WW meetings or being online with their tools, but it isn't working for me. I found this site and although it counts calories and not…
