Stressful week! I went back to CURVES today! Yeah!:laugh: I'm going to try to use the three day holiday to get back on track. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yes, we all have days like that! The foods you were eating were high glycemic so they keep making you hungrier. Try eating protein the next time you get into one of these moods...cheese, nuts to curb your appetite. :flowerforyou:

This is a great place to start on your weight loss journey. Welcome!

Welcome! Try filling out your calories the night before...this way you will have some plan for the day. If it changes you can make the adjustments.:drinker:

Good luck to you. It is a great site to get the encouragement and support you need to be successful. :flowerforyou:

I have the Wii Fit and you can set it to private. Sorry you had to go through the weigh in with an audience. I hate when the little guy says "That's obese". It does give you a good workout if you stick with it for at least 30 minutes.:tongue: It is wonderful to hear everyone is starting to lose (and maintain) a little…

Yeah! I finally made my first 5 lb. goal!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Patty, we will all be praying for you. Hope your visit will not be too stressful. Take it each day as it comes. Sorry to hear the H1N1 news. Yes it is very scary. I talked to a friend about P90X. She said it is a tough workout but does give great results. The premise of the program is to Vary your workouts. You do a…

Welcome to both of you! Don't be nervous about this site. The stories are sooo motivating. You will also find how you can relate to almost anyone's story. You are not alone. 40 is a great time to get started. I let myself go after 40 and can't wait to get back into shape!:bigsmile:

Ditto Congrats to Joanewright! Wow, you have lost 10 lbs.. Yeah!:laugh: :laugh: You will love this group. I was asking another fitness pall about the P90X exercise program. Does anyone in our group use it?

Is it a program a beginner can do?:blushing:

Wine does have too much sugar but 4 oz. of red wine is "good for you". Problem is who stops at 4 oz.:drinker: This summer I had a gin and tonic with a lime. It is really refreshing and shouldn't do too much damage. I also will have a non-alcoholic cranberry juice with a twist of fresh lime. (twist = lime, squeeze=lemon???)…

Chrissey, you can do it! Once your weight is under 200 you will notice a huge difference in yourself. I was at 200 last May, 2008. My highest was 214 in 2005. I couldn't believe I let myself gain that much weight. It just creeps up the older you get. On the more positive side, this group we are in is amazing. We will ALL…

I'm down .9 of a lb.! With all the traveling and school start up meals (and stress) I am happy.:laugh: I got the official word from my doctor to lose 10% of my weight to improve my cholesterol. I had put on 60 lbs. since I was 40 (12 years ago), In the past 5 years I have lost 25 lbs.:blushing: I need to lose 20 for my 10%…

The first week of school is almost over. It has been a busy one and very stressful. We had Welcome Back brunches and lunches! I am really trying to hold my own. I am hoping to get back into a regular exercise routine. We'll see what damage the Costco muffins had on my weight!:cry: Patty, the H1N1 must be very scary. I work…

Don't give up richelle_ross! You can get back to it. We've had a lot going on and I am managing to not gain. I am stepping up my exercise. Now that I am back to work I will try to get into a routine. spiralgirl your enthusiasm for your workouts is motivating me!:flowerforyou:

Happy Birthday, angl! We moved our son down South...10 hour drives both ways...stopped at fast food along the way....ate a "child's" burger. I gained .8 of a pound so felt it wasn't toooo bad.:sad: Now school has started and I will get back into a routine.:smile: Keep up the great job!

I am still here. I've been back at work so my computer time has been limited. I had a friend visit from Oregon on Wednesday. We got up early Thursday morning and did a two mile walk. I am slowly but surely trying to get some exercise. I won't quit. It is so helpful hearing about everyone's successes and set-backs. We are…

It is hard to fit an exercise time, richelle! When you find the time you are exhausted. I am back at work and need to get back into working out. I have been doing a lot of cleaning at work. It keeps me busy but it is not enough to count as a workout!:tongue: I will work out tomorrow, Friday and Saturday...richelle you can…

Don't be so hard on yourself. Tomorrow is a new day!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Drink your water and limit the wine. (I :heart: wine too). Have a great day!

Great advice, barbiecat!:bigsmile: You should be very proud of yourself. I so want to lose 40 lbs. by Christmas!:flowerforyou:

We all know how you feel.:smile: Once you start keeping your calorie count you will see why you aren't losing the weight. Be honest and record every bite. I am constantly losing and gaining the same 5-10 lbs. I feel confident that this site will help me overcome the "yo-yoing".:blushing: Good luck.

:smile Congrats to those who lost this week...it keeps the rest of us motivated. I am finding that the key is to keep the calorie count daily. I had missed a day and tried to keep track in my head. Taking the time to type it does seem to make a difference. I am trying to do my calorie count the night before so I will have…

Had a rough couple of days...a friend of mine lost her 32 year old son. He passed away from a heart attack. :cry: An unforturnate reminder that we are losing weight for our health. Sounds like everyone is still being motivated...yeah! Friday weigh-ins works out great too! Here's to a week of good choices.:heart:

Patty, take some down time for yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all have setbacks...just try to get back onto your plan. I know it is hard when your family is ill. Remember to take care of yourself so you can take care of them.:heart: txjenn1, great job resisting the junk. I had my anniversary this week and am…

I have the Weight Watcher's scale...bought it at Costco. I think it was $40-50??? The tenths do seem to help your mental state...an ounce can make a difference. :laugh:

1 lb. is great. My father-in-law use to tell me to visualize my losses ie. think of 1lb. of butter, 5-1- lbs. sacks of potatoes. It does put your loss into perspective. :tongue:

jigglybits....Wait til menopause! You are smart to lose the weight now.:laugh:

This first week was tough. For those that did not lose...You did not Gain!!!:drinker: It is becoming harder to drink the water. Does anyone use Crystal Light? I usually don't like to add anything to tmy water. I have to be careful b/c I lost 3 lbs. and I start to "celebrate" thinking I could eat more. The weekend is over…

Are you sure the gain is not due to muscle development? Muscle weighs more than fat. This always seems to happen to me too. I start working out and expect to lose more weight. Are you losing inches?:wink: Don't give up!
