Well, I could eat something around 9:00 a.m. if that's better than 10:00!

Hi! I'd like to join your group. I'm a very slow starter, who's only lost a couple of pounds since May. Does age really factor into how quickly pounds can be lost? This is my first real attempt to lose weight in about 10 years.

When you don't recognize your own shadow

When your shorts quit riding up between your thighs when you walk quickly. I hate that! Walk a bit, yank a bit, walk a bit, yank........

When you see candy on sale and can walk away!

OH! and the side seams in your pants go straight down!

You stop grabbing the afghan or couch pillows to hold in your lap to hide your middle when sitting on the sofa. Has anyone else ever done this?

Speaking of the "girls", what kind of sports bra are you wearing for support during exercising? Bounce, bounce, bounce...:blushing:

I just noticed the time my reply indicates --it's actually 7:40 am here.

I just noticed the time of your post. You are an early riser. When are your breaks at work?

Wow! I just went to the exercise TV site to see what was there. I think I saw that there were 106 full length workouts, plus who knows how many mini workouts and combos. Thanks! This will be a great way to try a few different programs!:smile:

Hey! Maybe we could change the terms to overfat, healthy fat and underfat and leave the word weight out of it altogether!:tongue:

Keep telling yourself that at least you are getting healthier. You may need to reenter your goals at your new weight to see if that changes your recommendations for calories. Get out the tape measure for more proof of fitness.

Marm, I love to see those ounces as well. I feel like I'm accomplishing something with all my careful eating!:happy: I'd also like to hear the pro vs. con on weighing daily or weekly. I gain weight very quickly.

I weigh daily in the early mornings before I get into the shower. For those of you that weigh only weekly, aren't you afraid of gaining weight before noticing? I swear I can gain three permanent pounds in a weekend, which then take a while to remove. Think of how easy it is to gain over Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Thanks for the info!:bigsmile:

Is there an alternative to sit-ups? They make my back ache. But I really do need to work on my stomach muscles so that maybe they'll support my poor back. H-mm. Catch 22.

Well, after all the suggestions, I bit the bullet(no calories) and went to Wal-Mart. I bought a Health-O-Meter Weight Tracking Scale on sale for $24.88. You can program it with 4 users(height, weight, goal) and it mathematically figures a BMI(Yikes), so all of the family at home currently can become a user! The old scale…

I didn't even know you could weigh on a Wii!
