Thanks you guys.I'm down 6lbs already!!!!!! Now if I can just stay motivated & keep with it. Bless You All. Joy

Well today I still didnt have the energy to get on the treadmill and run, however I was able to push myself to do some housework, which is a start. :happy: I am hoping that as time passes & I am able to catch up on some much needed rest, that my energy level will begin to rise. Oh, I also did 500 abdominal crunches today.…

Well, I did it! I graduated from LPN school. Now I am in a transition state. I do not have a vehicle so I am stranded at home with my 2 boys. This is awesome as far as having lots more time with my angels. As far as the weight loss goes. This could make or break me. I just dont have any motivation or energy at all. It is…

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I haven't even read it yet, but I am getting ready to. Ive had some questions about my medication.

Thanks You! :happy:

I had read in the past that you burn more fat during this time, so this week I really pushed myself into being active. Wednesday I went outside on my lunchbreak and spent an hour alternating between jogging and walking the hills around campus. I sure hope it pays off. I will be wearing a white nurse dress(not at all…

Well I am up a few lbs today, but I know why. It's my T.O.M. I hate my T.O.M. I start retaining water about a 7-10 before I even start and that water weight can range anywhere from 4-7lbs. Its bad enough I feel horrible @ this time & tehn to see the # on the scale go up. I know it is only temporary, but it really gets me.…

WE have to limit my son's glueten intake and we've been getting the new glueten free chex cerals. He loves the cinnimon and the hone nut flavored ones. There is also a brand, I can't think of the name at the moment, but we get it at Schnucks in the healthfood section. They have animals on the fron because so much of the…

I love the sit- up challenge. I"m excited to get started. I would love to get this under my belt and then build on it by adding the push-up challenge! I think it sounds good to conquer a challenge & then build on it. Once we get tthem conquered they should really become a part of life, just like brushing our teeth. Thats…

Who me? If so, yes. THat is me. That was a prom pic from my senior year. 2003. This was when I was taking 1 or 2 Phys Ed Classes per semester(I had all but 2 credits to graduate so I got to take some fun classes just to fill up my day) and spending lots of time at the pool. This was also before 2 pregnancies, a diagnosis…

StormieWeather...I agree. It is so important to develope good life habits are they are learned very early in life. parents buying diet pills for teens sounds like it could really impact a teens self-esteem in a negative fashion as well as promote the idea that there is a quick fix for weight loss.

I like the 100 crunch challenge, 10,000step challenge, and the no more soda challenge. I don't drink all that much soda anymore, but I am drinking more than I used to. I went 5 years without even a sip of soda(regular or diet) and I lost probably 35-35 lbs during the 1st year!!!! Then when I got pregnant for the 1st time I…

What kind of side effects did you experience with Metabolife? My friends mom bought it back for her back in highschool and I wondered what kind effects this might cause, especially on someone whose body is still growing and developing.

I've tried many different diet pills, sometimes multiple kinds at the same time. I had weight loss with a couple of them, but I also had side effects. It wasnt worth it. Besides, if it were that easy, I wouldnt be back here trying to lose the weigh, yet again. Trust me, I do wish it was that easy because sometimes I just…

Well, I sucked at the water drinking today. In fact, the past three or four days I doubt that I have had more than 32oz of water a day. I'm not sure what has happened. Some days I just get so busy I dont even think about drinking water until bed time when its quiet in the house. By this time, I'm so exhausted I just go to…

jlbay, did you say you lost 3lbs after eating the higher amount of calories? Really? I was eating the lowest amount that they suggested and have been stuck. I just switched my goals from losing 2lbs per week to 1.5lbs a week. This added an additioal 300 cals. (apporox.) I'm looking foward to seeing what haapens.

Thanks Tammy for the encouragement & the good advice. I appreciate it very much. I will be sure to work on staying positive and not give up. Im one that throws in the towel or goes way overboard the other way(as in not eatting anything) when things go slow, but not this time. THis time I want to di it right. The pressure…

I'm not aware of a YMCA in the area, but I did just hear that a local Dr.s Clinic is offering scholarships based on income. I will look into this on Tuesday and see what they can offer. Right now I have a 3 yr old and a 6and ahalf month old, I'm a full time student, and I have no vehicle, so unfortunately, I am dependent…

I'm ready to join the challenge. Is the reaching our water quota the only challenge as of now? Also, how did you all decide on the amount of H2O? I have heard a few different suggestions, the one most common being 1oz of H2O for every 2lbs that one weights. Starting Weight 242 Current Weight 206 Goal Weight by Turkey Day:…

Thanks for the reply. I dont plan on giving up, but it does get Very Discuraging sometimes. How do you like p90x?

I also started eatting something about every 3 hrs if possible to keep my metabolism up. I jsut started that less than a week ago, but I will not be getting on the scale for about a week due to the soon expected visit from my monthly. I typically gain 4-7lbs during this time and that discourages me greatly.. So I am…

WoW! That is amazing! 37lbs in 13 weeks. What type of exercise are you doing and how do you handle cravings?

Thank You All~~~Measuring Cups are now on my grocery list! :wink:

thanks! Yea, I thought this sounded the best out of the others. Nutrisystem is the one I was most hesitant about because of expenses & kids. THanks

I hear ya hun. I too have hypothyroidism and it does make things a little more difficult. Sometimes it seems impossible. Let's work on this together. I will have my good days and my bad days, but maybe we can help keep each other motivated. Eating something every 2.5-3 hrs seems to make a huge difference as long as its…

I'm embarrassed to say it, but my latest weight is 206.00. My final goal is 131. It's almost overwhelming to think about it, but that is why I am here. LOL! Thanks for the group. I will be sure to workout for 20 minutes outdoors today as well as stay within 100 of my 1290 calories. :happy:

KaitieBug, I just recently discoverd her and I love her music. That and "the Best Days of Your Life" are my favorite songs that she does. I need to add them to my mp3player. This is going to be fun. :flowerforyou:
