Hi steph...how are you? I am still plugging away. I am on another thread with assigned teams. It is keeping me on track. I check this thread too. Ruby girl...how is your week? :smile:

Are you sure you aren't eating too many grams of protein? One of my friend's just started a Low Carb High Protein diet through a doctor's supervision. She is supposed to eat 70 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbs. You seem to be doing well on your diet. I am trying to "follow" the same diet as my friends but not as…

I have ripe bananas now...will try to make them in the morning...thanks

Finally saw small loss-1.5...:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I can relate, Ramen237. Everyone is so different...what works for one person may not work for another. I have a crazy tummy and have to really watch what I eat. I am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables...I finally bought Kale last week...had a few green smoothies, not to bad. My problem is being consistent...I am…

ruby, did you find the group? :)

Hi Everyone...Congratulations to those who have started their weight loss journey and are achieving success. What is working for you? I am at a standstill..I gain and lose the same 3-5 lbs. over and over. I know we have to find what works but I am having a hard time getting into a consistent routine. Any ideas, thoughts…

You are an inspiration! You did it "your way"!:flowerforyou:

I went to a nutrtionist regarding a pre-diabetic warning. She recommended to never have more than 45 grams of carbohydrates in one meal...to lose weight she recommended staying at the 30 grams level. I continue to struggle with my weight though I am still at a pre-ciabetic level. Good Luck!

hi ruby...I just sent you a request to join the group, 60 Day Spring Challenge. It starts today (April 27)..hoping it will give us more support and "chatter". :heart:

I am so glad I found this group. I have lost and gained 20 lbs. on MFP. I have had a hard time getting motivated the past few months. It sure helps when there is an active group...I so hope this group will challenge me to make the healthy changes. I do have a wedding to attend in July as well as my 30th anniversary! I've…

bump...will read later...sounds like some great info.

I did great for the first part of the week. I managed to cut back then met a friend for dinner...burgers and onion rings! I really watched my diet yesterday and was able to "lose" a pound ....water weight, I'm sure! I know how you feel...I am struggling with my workouts this week...hoping that a new month will bring a new…

I have got to stop cooking like the boys are home! We always have a big brunch on holidays. My hubby and I ate throughout the day...brunch, happy hour, dinner, dessert....I am not going to get on the scale until Friday! I did manage to cut back today with the exception of two pieces of See's candy!:blushing: Hope you had a…

Good luck with the Easter goodies on the way! <3

I just don't know how we can get others to post. I did well at the Brewery...only had one beer..a $2.00 blonde. LOL The problem was it was during our dinner hour...the other couples that met us didn't order food...long story, short, we came home and ate Munchie foods...my weight was up on Wed. I am trying to watch it too.…

My "loss' was short-lived too. I even did an extra workout yesterday! I had a busy day shopping at the mall. It was nice to get out and not have to rush. I wasn't able to get a smaller size in pants but did buy one top a smaller size. :tongue: I am on spring break...tomorrow we are meeting friend's at a new brewery in…

I AM IN, ruby! I lost 1 lb. in spite of all the "special eating" events! :tongue: I took a walk and did extra leg exercises today. We are going to a friend's home for dinner...I am bringing my "Heaven in a Bottle" cake....it is made with Bailey's Irsih Cream! :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: I will definitely walk and…

I've been trying to keep things in check. I think I am allergic to wheat. I had two pieces of pizza yesterday...they were school pizzas. I wasn't feeling great this morning. I had one cookie on Tuesday. I had a chicken wrap today and one small brownie. I ended up having some long days at school. I will be on vacation…

I totally can relate to your feelings. I have a hard time giving up the "fun" stuff. I am really trying this week only to have challenges at work. The next three days are full of food challenges...Parent Tea (muffins, cookies), Wednesday (pizza and ice cream party) and Thursday (Continental breakfast and luncheon) I have…

Don't give up, ruby. We are so controlled by the number on the scale. I am guilty of this too. I know I haven't really lost much but my clothes are feeling better. I have quite a bit to lose and get myself into trouble when I have a good weigh in. You may want to stay off the scale for a couple of weeks. Focus on eating…

HaPpY bIRtHdAy, ZaZa! You are a fabulous "60"! I am hoping I will be "in shape" by the time I turn 60...three more years for me! :love: Do what you can do....we need to enjoy life. Sounds like you had a wonderful family birthday. Those family times are so precious. And congrats! You have another wedding in the future. I am…

hi ruby, You can find Yoga for Dummies for free on youtube. The gal walks you through 12 moves...I try to do a Yoga or Pilates DVD on the weekend. Way to go with your morning workouts. I need to go pack my exercise clothes for tomorrow...it is my Curves day. I have been trying to leave work earlier...trying to take time…

You are doing so well, cleaneater. I am so happy for you. You are going to be a great mom!:love: I am slowly getting active again! I even did Yoga for Dummies today. LOL HOpe everyone has a great week! Dinner is ready....Happy Monday! Way to go, ruby. You are working at your own pace and are staying…

Enjoy your time with your son. Time goes by so fast. I have two sons, 24 and 21...soon to be 25 and 22. My oldest graduated from Ca. State Fulleton two years ago. He is living down in San Diego and has a great job. My youngest is at Ca. State Sacramento. He is supposed to graduate next May, 2015. Both my boys are…

Thanks, ruby. My knee is okay. I was able to get out for walks over the weekend. I am like you...ignoring the scale until Friday! My son has been home this week. We have been having some big meals. He will go back to school on Wednesday. One of my problems this past week was not eating a healthy afternoon snack. I have…

Great to hear from you, zaza. I hope you will get some "down" time soon. We built our house 26 years ago...we need to remodel...I look around my house and think "what was I thinking?" LOL In my defense, we had just moved to NorCal, I had started a new job and was pregnant with my first child. :love: ruby, we are kindred…

I am guilty of the same thing...when I have a loss I "celebrate"...We need to try to change that behavior! :blushing: I pulled a muscle or tendon behind my knee...no workout today! Hope to be able to do some walking tomorrow.:bigsmile:

Friday was a hard day. I went over to a friend's house after work. She had margaritas and chips/salsa ready for us! I then got home and had three pieces of pizza.:blushing: I did better the past two days. I worked on calorie control and walked with my hubby. I actually forgot about the bobcat...we are hoping he is long…

I hope you will feel better...I hate being sick! I MADE it to Curves today. It felt good to work out. I also had a good "diet" day. One day at a time...I am trying to celebrate when I do something positive vs. stressing about the negatives. I am not sure the scale will reflect a loss tomorrow. Yikes, a bear would really…
