Happy Wednesday everyone. Starting day three of south beach..it is already getting easier and in addition to losing weight, I feel better when I reduce the amount of carbs derived from grains. I find that my knees and my rip hip do not ache nearly as much. I learned this a few years ago when I followed this diet for…

WOOHOO, Happy Tuesday morning everyone!. I started the Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet yesterday. By 3:00p.m., I was craving a cracker or cookie so bad, I may have mugged someone if they had walked by eating one at that time. I made myself go occupy my hands and mind with something else and soon the urge passed. Then I had…

I so know where you are at this a.m. Good morning everyone, I have been absent for a few weeks at least. I didn't have my laptop and trying to access the whole website via my tablet was just too much hassle! I did…

Hi everyone. I have been so swamped with work, life and other demands. I haven't logged in for a bit. I have been trying to stay within the calorie goal and work out each day. Will be back soon to catch up on at least recent posts. I hope everyone is getting off to a great start this month.

Good morning to everyone. I wish I could break away from the scale. I seen where many of you weigh in once a week or less. I find myself getting on the stupid thing everytime I go by it almost. However, I only mentally record the weight and then write it down weekly. Sure is frustrating though to work so hard at trying to…

Good Monday morning everyone, I;ve been able to sign on for about a week now but have had a lot of trouble maneuvering through the sight due to internet woes with my sattelite provider. I finally got caught up on all of the posts. I am anxious to try spaghetti squash again after reading how so many of you have successfully…

Happy February everyone, January was up and down for me. Hoping to get it together with the beginning of a new month. Spent the day trying to catch up on reading and with some neglected friends. I also have spent a great deal of time organizing coupons and a grocery list that does not include any packaged meals or overly…

It's now or never, nurse girl. If you wait another 5 to 10 years, it gets harder. To Joy ---Thanks for the kick in the but, Intellectually I know this , I just keep putting me on the back burner. Even yesterday, I struggled and failed at this. I will complete this workload by late afternoon and then have a little time to…

Good morning everyone, Today is the first time in almost a week that I have signed on for more than a minute and have intentions of following any sort of meal plan.

Good morning everyone! I had a pretty good Tuesday. Exercised with the Wii and a DVD since it was raining in the a..m.and I'm at my vacation home instead --no treadmill here. Before you think..vacation in January sounds fun, I'm not vacationing. I live in a rural area with no high speed internet, so when I have a lot of…

I can so relate. My husband weighs 2lbs more than he did when we met thirty-three years ago. He eats whatever he likes and never thinks twice about it. Although, he supports my weight loss goals and says he will do whatever and eat whatever I need in order to stay on my diet. He often does the same thing as your boyfriend,…

This week, I feel like I will finally see a new…

She still cooks all the meals for herself and my dad, and keeps track of medications for both of them. She continues to do some form of exercise every day, including swimming or walking in the pool 3 - 5 days a week. She also continues to take care of all their day-to-day financial activities. WOW, Happy Birthday to your…

Let me try this again...I lost the page right in the middle of my last post. Thank you so much for all of the warm welcomes. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you better and becoming a source of support and encouragement to others as you have been for me this week. I certainly agree about the metabolism slow…

Good morning Ladies, My name is Rhonda and I will be 50 in July of this year. I have been playing around with my weight and exercise my entire adult life. Then it seems a few years ago the weight crept up and stayed. I would try for awhile to eat healthy and exercise continuously only to see no results, so I gave up and…

Count me in!. I've read many of the posts, I struggle with consistency and staying committed to eating healthy and exercising. I married my high school sweetheart and we have been blessed with a wonderful life and two sons and now four grandchildren. My husband sees the girl he met at 16 when he looks at me. He doesn't see…

So true, I know that if I don't keep a careful eye on what I am eating that I will most definetly let more food than I need slip into my day. Really must stay focused and am hoping being part of this group will help me do that. Also it would be great to be an inspiration to others that come behind me.

Congrats on the weight loss, you are doing great and I love the quote " If you bite it, write it". Thanks for responding, what an inspiration!
