it is sooo true that we can eat healthy and still gain lots of weight. and so unfair.when i think about what i eat:i never buy oreos or potatoe chips.i don't drink regular soda.we gave up regular white bread and pasta when my husband had his 3rd heart attack 2 yrs ago. don't eat red meat more than once a week,but...i…

:flowerforyou: i worked this w/e and didn't even look at the exercize equipment! this morning i went out from 8-10 shoveling and pick axing ice and snow.it was fun to be outside but a lot of work.i hope this counts towards exercize. you guys have motivated me to get to the ab lounger and my sister taped an exercize show…

:grumble: i've been addicted to diet pepsi for yrs and i couldn't believe it when my daughter told me i shouldn't even be drinking that . so every day i work,i bring 3 - 20oz bottles of water with me and put them in in my area where i can't ignore them and that's my goal for the day and after drinking all that and peeing…

i actually get them sometimes from a rough day at work-running up and down the halls at the hospital.i've come to think that 2 things help:good shoes as already mentioned and appropriate warmup of those particular muscles.not just stretching.i think once you get them ,you need to let them heal too. they can be very…

:happy: lind4 and i are from southern maine where we are having another #!@#### snow storm. i don't like snow.:grumble:

i ate so much salty stuff over the holidays that i actually got swollen fingers(sign of water retention).i started to drink more water and it has helped a lot and the cravings have subsided.i needed to flush out all that stupid salt.and it's weird because i was always more of a "sweets" person. that's all i need-dual…

:laugh: to everyone who replied to lind4 about the rotten sister who made fun of her, that was me and you got the wrong impression!i made fun of her because she's been on this site for a long time and not introduced herself. called her chicken actually. we ,along with our other sister have always been and will always be…

i didn't know where to put this topic but here goes. i had a revelation 2 days ago and at the time i didn't realize how big it was but now i think it's huge for me.you now how oprah's trainer(can't remember the name)always says you have to figure out why you over eat-what's the underlying thing that keeps you planted there…

:grumble: exercize is the absolute worse for me.i set my former living room up into a "home gym"(we use the family room for living anyway). there's a treadmill and an ab lounge and a total gym.i've started to train myself to get up at 4:15 instead of 5 to get a work out in and still i can't say i'm consistent in any way.…

Hi everyone. I'm glad I joined this group because before if I had a week like I'm having now I would have said,"the heck with it". Started at New Year's like a lot of us,started to make a few changes.More water, better food choices.Knew it would take longer than a week of course. But I 'm pretty sure I have pneumonia and I…

I also heard you have to be careful around little kids who might get their fingers hurt if they ever got near when the lounger was bending. It's been a long time since I had little kids but I remember hearing that on some tv show.

Thanks all-good suggestions.I really need to plan eating instead of mindless eating.Robot woman goes down to cafeteria-that's me.

:smile: I need to lose at least 50 by June 28th- my son is getting married and as silly as it sounds, I want to wear a nice dress. Also turned 50-it feels like now or never in a way. June 30th is my birthday! So I'm a "little"older than you but it's probably all the same struggle,right?

I like this topic too even though mine is obviously my name. I have a TERRIBLE time with computers.I work at 2 different hospitals that have 2 different computer programs plus 1 has a different way to access email. I have an awful hard time remembering passwords and usernames and just when I have them all the same,they…

i just starting using it-it's expensive and it takes up a lot of room BUT you do get good range of motion and good stretch. too early to tell what will happen to my gutt!

I have a question.I'm a nurse and get up at 5,get to work at 630 and get home from work at 8pm.I know I shouldn't eat past a certain hour,like 6 or 7,but a lot of times it's too busy at work to eat a proper supper so I end up eating at 8-830 when I get home and by then,I'm seriously lacking self control-starved and tired.…

This is great! I'm 200 now and would like to shoot for 185 by valentine's. :smile:

:flowerforyou: Can I ask,as an absolutely new person what is this challenge? BTW we got snow today too and I say enough's enough.It's pretty,it's winter wonderland.Let's call it good!

:smile: Hi,I'm from the great state of Maine . My sister sent me this web site and it does look good like she said.I have converted my living room into a gym with a treadmill, total gym and ab lounge. I've got my ipod loaded with great music and I know what to eat.So ready set go!!!Getting started is my eternal problem.I…
