I am new to oatmeal as I hadn't eaten it since I was kid and had terrible memories of it LOLLL. However, this rocky road and smores things do sound yummy. One way I've been making it lately is to take one pack of plain oatmeal (100 cals) and add a tad bit of splenda brown sugar and some pumpkin pie spice. Make it in the…

Getting on a bike was how I lost my first 35lbs. I rode all summer long and then just started using the elliptical. Walking just isn't my thing but riding my bike really makes me happy. Glad it does for you too!

I did both the August and the September challenges. Both times I met the goal and I definitely know it's because these groups help me stay accountable. Have a great month!

I'm hesitant even because I hate broccoli but I'm always willing to try it in a different way to see if it helps but OMG did you see the amount of total Olive Oil used? I know I know I know it's a healthier fat but we are talking what 5-6Tablespoons? I'm still being freaky because I'm in the losing not maintenace phase so…

Because I also started at a heavy weight (265) I specifically spoke with my dietican and she told me in order to lose weight I needed to stay under 1400 calories period. That does not mean if I work out and burn 150 that I get 1550. Now once I get to maintenance phase that will be different. However - again this was a…

I am not usually home from work early but the other day when Michelle Obama was on I happened to be home. She takes a jump rope and boy can she do some cardio with that rope. There were like 6 different ways she used it. Maybe a jump rope and something heavy that you could use for weights? Even resistance bands would be…

It does seem to get a little harder. At first all that fluff and water dropped right off. Now I work twice as hard eat half as much and only lose 1-2lbs at a time LOLLLL. However, I do know that I am making healthy decisions so it's all good. Looking forward to finishing September strong and heading into October with the…

Hello everyone! SW 219.6 GW 211.6 9/3 218.2 9/10 217.2 9/17 213.8 I really worked hard this past week to get enough excercise in as well as water and limit calories. This is doable!
-
I'm so glad you posted this. I really feel tomorrow my weigh in will have me down at 50lbs. I really cannot wear any of my clothes anymore but I'm having a hard time packing things up and dealing with them. Maybe it's a good thing but part of me is really freaked out about doing it. I know if I keep them it will be easier…

Oh what is costing me now? Having to replace clothes because my sorry butt dropped 3 sizes. Yep I went from a 3x to about an XL in most things. :) Eating better can be more expensive but my blood pressure is completely normal, my breathing is normal no more asthma issues and my knees and feet don't hurt nearly so much. I…

Love this. When I started losing weight in May, I walked. That's free. I walked and whined about walking and whined some more but I kept trying. Then I started riding the old bike in the garage. Loved it! Better than walking for me anyways. But I kept up with both of them. Then I started digging around and found out that…

Because I'm still really trying hard to focus on losing I haven't had any whole cheat days. I have had times where I chose to eat one thing that I knew would be higher in calories and then I just made sure I made up for it the next day or at the gym. I have a very good friend who is a good healthy weight, she eats well and…

I haven't eaten in McDonald's in at least nine months... ...and now, thanks to this post, I want to. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL yeah me too :)

I do think it will make a difference to the people who are trying to make healthier choices. I really feel it's important to be informed no matter what the subject is and honestly I don't have time to always pull out the calorie king book from my purse. I'd rather see it right up there in bold next to the menu item. While…

Hello everyone! SW 219.6 GW 211.6 9/3 218.2 9/10 217.2 Wasn't the best week for me but it's still a step in the downward direction so I'll take it :)

And now the originial creator of this post. Congratulations to you for taking this step. I am thrilled you have done so well and you should be too! FInd support where you can and keep moving forward. Friends and family are awesome but sometimes it's easier to be open and honest with complete strangers about food and what…

???? Techno challenged here! I've been thinking it would be soooo much easier if I could scan my food....now all of a sudden I hear you say you scan your food? I have an android phone but no clue how to do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree! It's not always the pounds we lost but the knowledge we gained. Some days are better than others. Just continuing to put one foot in front of the other is what matters. Keeping strong!

Hello everyone! SW 219.6 GW 211.6 I normally weigh in with a group at work on Mondays so that's when I normally post. Have a great strong week everyone!

Well my hubby and I had a good day and I tried a new machine at the Y so I felt good about that. I have been incorporating a lost of firsts this past week and am getting better at figuring out what I like and don't like about excercising. I know me well enough to know what unless I really like something and feel…

I'm really glad to find this group still going after August. I did make the 10lb weight loss for August but now that I've lost my first huge chunk and hit the goal MPF set for me - it's going much more slowly. I need to remember to stay accountable and focused. I will be thrilled to lose another 8lbs and I think that's…
