Girl I too have had bad days where I Emo-Ate and felt horrible. But the next day I remembered that when the sun came up I was getting another chance. Its a moment by moment choice and you cant change the past or dwell on it, you just shake it off and move along! You can do it!!! Hugs!!!! :flowerforyou: Linda

1. I guess we get along well enough, we are def better friends than married couple. 2. I think we prob could be platonic. I dont hate him at all. I just found that i was miserable living with him. I have thought that if i didnt go then we would have to decide on what other options we have tho. Linda

WTG!!!!!! I am so proud of you and you have lots to be proud of!!!! All that hard work is paying off I cant wait to get there too!!!!

Happy Birthday. Hope you have a super wonderful day!!!!

WTG! Looking great!

Me in Feb 2010 Me today I am wearing the same pants and today I had to decided to finally get rid of them cuz they refused to stay up!!!! I am about 1/3 of the way to where I wanna be!

I was feeling discouraged so I found another picture of myself this past February, now I can see the change!!!

Well with some help from a trainer (talked to her on msn) we came up with a quick idea to add cals without adding sodium (hate water weight). I had some sugar free rolo ice cream in the freezer which is 110 cals per 1/4 cup so i had 1/2 cup of that with skim milk and some fresh fruit made into a milkshake and that bumped…

I have done both. All the fast foods are at the wayside! I have increased the amounts of whole grains and have changed a few things. I read labels now, I drink more water, I indulge occassionally but I watch what is going in b/c I know that my life will change the next day if i over indulge. Its all about moderation.

I know that when i was addicted to food I was addicted to Sugar's cousin STARCH and would eat up to 20 servings of starch producing foods each day. I then went to LA Weight Loss where I had to decrease to 3 starches per day. I remember my first weekend where I had to decrease my intake, I had made spaghetti for my sons and…

WTG!!!! Keep up the wonderful work. You have shown us that it can be done.

Huge Congrats to you!!!!:flowerforyou:

I just googled Healthy Smoothie Recipes and came up with this site: http://www.smoothieweb.com/ Good luck! Linda

Hello everyone! I just found this thread and discovered that this is the exact group I fit into! I turn 40 in *gasp* 23 days :ohwell: and thought i should introduce myself. My name is Linda and I am a full time social worker with 2 young sons who live with me and 3 older kids who live with their dad. I just recently walked…

If you posted your diary we could help see where you are and where u may or may not be going wrong.

Things happen, but remember that tommorow is another new day and it gives you another chance to start all over again. Dont give up ... just know that you can do this!

Happy Kanata Day ..... spent the day cleaning and getting ready for a trip to Vancouver. So I burned many calories by working hard!

I went through a full abdominal hysterectomy in 2003 when I was only 33 yrs old. I had to get it due to 5th stage endometriosis. I had a very agressive form of Endo so they had to perform an emergency hysterectomy due to a possible risk of hemmorage. I went through a few tough years following the surgery but now its been…

Oh I am so happy to see this thread! I just bought my Wii last weekend and I love it!!!! I have been trying to get more active and now I am!!! I am totally game to join along with any challenges that you have going on. I have only gotten to 250 on Super Hula Hoop lol! So i am hoping to bump everything up. Linda

I have Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports and I really like them all.

Well just after posting this I went back to my ball to finish my workout, lost my balance, fell backwards, hit my head on the corner of the wall and just about knocked my block off! Well after a big lump, a huge headache and 2 traumatized sons I think the ball is going to be used less LOL!

Wow looking amazing!!!! WTG on the loss!!

I just purchased my Wii last weekend. I really do like it. I have been doing my scale and body measurements including my BMI each morning before my sons get up so I can do something for ME! I also spend about an hour and a half playing with my sons and they get a good laugh out of my "elderly" antics on the games. I also…

Wow you are very much under your goals. You need to increase your calories and at least get close to it so that your body doesnt go into starvation mode. Try to increase your caloric intake and see how that works for you. Good luck!

thank you all for your input!!!! yes it does make much more sense. I guess I got thrown off by the fact that I was almost meeting my goals each day but yes it does make sense that much of those calories are empty. I also think that the rice may be hurting me more than helping. I gotta expand my culinary skills! linda

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!! Very well done and to know that you did this all with diet and exercise, sure gives me hope that I too can do this!!! WTG!!!

Last summer when i still drank but was watching my calories i developed a great summer drink. I would take 12 oz of water, 1 pkg of Crystal Light Cherry Pomegrante individual packet, 1 cup of ice, 1/2 cup of frozen berries and would mix that up. To that I added Cherry Whiskey. I dont remember what the calorie count was but…

Thank you!!!
