Welcome, I know what you mean about support. I tried to lose weight without support and found that it was twice as hard. The support I have received from this site is amazing it really helps to keep you on track. I would love to be a supporter and encourager for you.

I like to snack on small to medium green apples spread with Laughing Cow light cheese wedge. I also like to snack on clementines, carrots with 2 tablespoons of Hidden Valley Light Ranch dressing, a mini bag of popcorn, rice cakes with light cream cheese, and wheat thins reduce fat with laughing cow cheese wedge. Hope this…

What I have found helpful in logging what I eat is keeping a small journal handy in my kitchen and I write down what I am going to eat as get done fixing it then log here at the end of the day shortly after finishing dinner. I find that by having the journal in the kitchen I don't seem to get as anxious about logging my…

This sounds really good. I will have to give it a try.

Buy a whole new wardrobe as I hope to be two sizes smaller than I am right now.

From what I understand you need to figure out what your calorie intake would be to maintain your weight and then subtract 500 calories for every pound that you would like to lose. For me that means the amount of calories I need to eat to maintain my weight would be 2670 calories to lose up to 2 pounds a week I need to eat…

I have found that drinking milk or eating milk products three times a day helps in losing belly fat. Also knee lifts have helped me lose 4 pounds of belly fat in one month.

I do strength training 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Form is definitly the most important thing to remember when doing strength training. Don't worry so much on how much you can do, because each time you do strength training you will get stronger. Over time you will start to see a differance in your body. Just take your…

What I have found helpful for me is to keep a small journal handy in the kitchen where I write down everything that I eat as I am not able to log into the site and record what I ate until late in the evening. Maybe having something to write your food down right away and then posting it late would help.

I did pretty good yesterday. I did manage to stay a little under my calories. Today was weigh in day and I manged to loose at least .4 pounds over the course of the week. Feel good about looseing just that amount.

Welcome, I am right where you are. Enjoy the holidays just remember protion sizes. Not only is keeping track of what you eat important but so is keeping everything you eat in the right protion size. Measure if you are not sure what a protion is suppose to look like or if you have a kitchen scale weight your food if…

I put a whole chicken in my crock pot with about a cup of water and some savory spices and let it cook all day. When you go to take it out of the pot it is so tender and juicy it fall right off the bone. You can even put the chicken in the crock pot frozen and it will come out the same way.

You look fantastic and I can tell from your pics that you look quite happy. Keep up the good work!

I have found that portion control is definitly important. I have days where I tend not to eat as healthy as I should, but I do try very hard to make sure I look to see what is considered a single serving and stick to eating only that amount. I have found that just increasing the amount of fruit whether fresh or canned in…

Eating late at night was a problem for me also. I found that if I get a glass of ice water that by time I have finished drinking the water and eating the ice that I am no longer hungry. I do the same during the day. Maybe this idea will help.

Putting potatoes in a brown paper bag and then into a cool dark place will also help them to last longer. I just put my potaotes in th bottom of my pantry and have had them last up to 2 1/2 months sometimes longer.

Hello to everyone, I have finished one week here on the site and found out when I weighed myself this morning I lost weight even though most of the week I was eating over 2000 calories. Finally figured out what my goals for this month would be and have been doing very well with drinking 8 glass of water a day. This week…

Fantasic, a great insperation for me to stay on track. To see others almost to their goal weight shows me that I can get there too.

I am at about 223 now since I started here last Friday and 140 is my goal. Would love to be a friend and support you on your journy.

Just by the post that I have read so far this is a very active group. I look forward to getting to know everyone. I just want to share with all of you a little about myself. I have been married to the same wonderful and supportful man for 31 years. I have two wonderful children a son who turned 30 last month and a daughter…

This little utube movie is so true. This country's perception of what is considered beautiful is very distorted. Many believe that you are only considered beautiful based on how you look the forget that true beauty starts from within a person and works its way to the outside of the person.

Hello everyone, I just finished reading some of the post and this sounds like the group for me mind if I join. I just joined the site today and so far I am very impressed with all that I have read. Setting goals is something that I definitly need to do. The goals will help me with my accountablity which I really need. Now…

Hello, I understand what about needing weightloss support buddies, I could use one also I would be glad to be a buddy for you.

Wish I could go with the no eating after five. My daughter does not pick my granddaughters up until around that time and then it is off to curves for my work out three days a week. Most of my evening meals are not until around 6:30 or 7:00. I do try to keep those meals light and eat my biggest meal around noon if possible.

I go to curves 3 times a week and love the curves smart system. The curves smart is like having a personal trainer. The system keeps track of how hard you work out, and number of calories burned. The system also pushes you to work in the zone for burning ultimate body fat and lets you know if you are working too hard and…
