Good Monday Morning to Everyone. Hope everyone had a great first week. (I weigh on Fridays). I am excited to see how much we lost as a group. The weekend was a little hard...my anniversary is on Tuesday so I made my special kahlua cake for Sat. night dessert. I added raspberries on top so I wouldnt' feel so guilty.:laugh:…

I've been a member for one week. It is an awesome site for support. Good luck to you and congrats for taking the initiative to make changes. We All feel the same as you do.:smile: Make small goals for yourself...10 lbs., 25 lbs....you can do it!

Try adding green tea to your diet. It will help "detox" the system. :drinker:

You should try mixing up your exercise. A friend of mine was using an intensive program that changed the workout each day. It "confuses" the muscles so your muscles don't adjust to just one workout. I started using this premise last month and it seems to be working. I will do a walking tape (yes, vhs is still out there),…

I am 5'6" and currently weigh 189. I've been wearing size 16 pants and just back into X-large tops. Consider your shape...are you an apple (most of your weight is carried around the middle) or an pear (smaller on top with wider hips).? At 195-200, I wore 16w and a 1X. Not to confuse you more but different brands play an…

You may want to try some almonds or a slice of cheese with an apple. This usually will curtail my hunger. Good Luck! Think protein vs. carbs. for snacks. (Easier said than done):flowerforyou:

I've been wanting to get a Zumba workout dvd. Angela, do you have one to recommend? I belong to CURVES and need to get back there once my knee heals.:sad: Hope everyone had a great first week. I had a lot of challenges but managed to lose 3 lbs.:drinker: No celebrations yet. Keeping the calorie count does keep one…

Do these workouts require a lot of equipment?

I just saw this post...you answered my questions, Sweetie!:tongue:

You've been busy gals. I was off-line for a couple of days...busy with my family. I am keeping my calorie journal! Great website, Patty. Thank you so much. I changed my goal weight to 155, it had my starting weight as a goal.:noway: I don't want to weigh 192 in December.:noway: Question: Do we weigh according to the day we…

I am new to this site. What program are you using to get 3.5 lbs. off per week? I have tried every diet out there. Thanks!:blushing:

:smile: :smile: :smile: Welcome to dawndamen and congrats on your adorable baby. I had another birthday dinner...chinese food tonight. I limited my servings to 1 cup of rice, chowmein (shrimp) and almond chicken. I usually have two-three servings until I am stuffed. I decided not to worry about going out to eat and enjoyed…

Patty09, it is great that you are a day ahead of us. You have inspired me to get excited about this new endeavor. My goal for the week is to log everything that I eat! I will also exercise 3 days this week. Have a good week everyone!:happy:

:embarassed: I do the same thing. I don't purge my cupboards because the kids/hubby always want a little something sweet. I have gotten better at not over-indulging. I think we need to focus on the fact that we can have a sweet treat once in awhile. Just be sure to record it...that will make you think twice the next time…

I had signed up on Friday so I showed a loss of 1 lb. today! :happy: My numbers: SW-192 GW-155 I have been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. for months...I need to break this pattern and be more consistent . In May 2008, I was at 200 lbs. I feel good about that but need to step it up. Have a great day everyone.…

:smile: I will weigh in tomorrow, July 20th. This is perfect since I just got back from a vacation in Portland and my birthday is over! :glasses: I am new to this type of support. I think it will be a huge help. Thank you, ladies.
