Since I have started on January the 3rd i have lost 19lbs yeah... But I think this is coming off just a little to fast,and it worries me i really havent exercised that much , becuase i have not been home and under alot of stress lately. There have been days where i probably ate quite a bit under my calorie intake but could…

i should add not peple from this site either just other who know im dieting

I have people telling me that i should not eat foods that read low fat or no saturated fats or 0 trans fat is this true or what is everyones feeling on this does this mean caloried wise foods also??

I will add them to my prayers hope all goes well. I know how hard these times are.

Thank You so much everyone for all the support , it means a great deal to me. As of this morning my mother in law is doing good, there were a few complications but we think that all is well. As for me i got up this morning, went on treadmill for 15 minutes is better than none i guess and made myself a fruit salad for…

My mother in law had a 5 bypass today and the next 24 hours are the most critical. Trying to keep under wraps but seem to be slipping a bit and i am in that state where i cant exercise i am just sitting around worrying. dont know any other way of getting out of this i never realized before that i was a emotional eater but…

I so fell off the wagon today not sure what happened, but tommorrow is a new day, i just ate all the wrong foods , i just think it is all the stress i am under lately and sitting at home all day by myself i totally lost it. I will start again tommorrow i just feel gross havent felt like this for awhile, just bad foods.…

I have been away for almost a week, my mother in law had a massive heart attack but seems to be doing ok, today will tell if she needs a surgery or not. Thank you to all for sending messages and checking up on me, somehow through all this sitting in a hospital i tried to watch what i was eating when we went out and low and…

dinner is lunch at noon everyday and supper is at six every evening lol i know us country folk talk weird lol

wow had a lazy day today just miserable outside. I did work our for over an hour but i ate 3 chicken wraps today and fruit 1 for dinner and 2 for supper. my calories were under by a little bit but is it a good idea to eat the same thing even though you are not going over your allotted amount?

GREAT JOB! Love your attitude about meeting your first goal, that is great each goal of 10lbs that is awesome, Im gonna think like that .

You are so right and even if we have a bad day you just forget about it and start over.

I work out everyday on the treadmill, but I cant seem to go for very long without hanging on and i dont know why. I go on for about an hour a day and sometimes longer, i find myself having to make myself not to hold on and then before i know it im hanging on again, how can i kick this habit? I mean the workout would be so…

tonight i made my husband and daughter deep fried chicken wings and there were 3 left and i ate them i entered them and i was still under my limit of calories so i was happy and i had a taste. I t was well worth it, I will say though after i ate them i looked at my husband and said that was stupid, and then i realized i am…

Thanks i have bee n thinking about what i am going to drink on our ski trip and now my problem is solved a s i am a vodka drinker yeahhh . Does the bottle look a little different than the other i like the original not much for flavored lol

So sorry to see you go. I will miss reading all of your posts, and all of your encouragement. Take Care and stay healthy.

You are so right I was making this difficult for myself i was finding i was stressing a little but now im good to go. I think the key is portion control, and i am finding i am having no problem with that and the biggest part of it all you have to be in the right state of mind and want to do it for yourself.

today i was on the kraftcanada.com website and found some very scrumtious receipes. Have a look there.

I have to be honest when i first started this i thought all i could eat was salad salad salad and was wondering why i was not using up my calories. today i ate normal oatmeal for breakfast adn some raspberries, for lunch i had a salad topped with all my favorite veggies and a piece of smoked sausage and then for supper i…

Thanks alot it is very helpful i think i have chosen the restaurants that i will be dining at and will have no problems in doing it.

glad i found this post did not realize there were low sodium broths out there will look for them this weekend thanks alot

thanks icandoit you are so great i am thinking subway is the way to go chicken wraps would be good

i will have to look in city for them this weekend, my daughter is so fussy about what she eats and is very health cautious and she hates me introducing new foods lol but she may like these she likes turkey bacon so maybe she would like them. Thanks i will look on saturday

I have just learned that we are going to the city for the weekend and i am starting to frett knowing that i wont be in charge of making my own meals, and have to eat out for at least 4 meals, breakfast doesnt bother me as i can bring that to the hotel for myself but what am i going to do for lunch and supper?

I seem to be able to cure my sweet cravings with eating a mango, because i dont have a heavy sweet tooth, but i am and always have been a big meat eater. Last night i had made my daughter sausage for supper, this is something we do not often have, but this is what she requested, so there were left overs in fridge, because…

Does anyone have any good receipes for salads to change things up every once and while. I use alot of Zesty Itallian fat free dressing on fresh vegetables for marinade which i love, but wondering if there are some other good ideas out there?
