Thanks for the support guys..I think I just became too comfortable, got bored eating the same ole thing and let my guard down..I should know by now that once I cut back on drinking my water that it is all downhill from there...but thats ok..today is a new day...I did the treadmill for 35 minutes and the elliptical for…

ok..back on track today..day 1 of eating right again..tonight...treadmill & elliptical...I gained 1/2 a pound..I have not come this far to lose it now..wish me luck....congrats to those who lost!!

Hello all...my weight...well, stalled......I actually gained 1 lb...totally MY fault..I ate everything that I knew I shouldn't and tons of it...today is a new day!! I was so close to being UNDER 200 I could taste it..but I just got too confident...damn it..no one to blame but myself!!

down 1.6 this week...which makes me 200.6...which puts me again teetering on the edge...hopefully next week I will be UNDER!!

Count me in!!!! I started a few weeks ago and had to stop due to a cold..although I didn't make it past the 1st week before I had to stop..I have never run in my life..but I was always so jealous of those who can..I'm IN!!!!

Happy Thursday..one more day 'till the weekend!! Spiral, thats awesome about your Husband joining you!..I began this challenge alone and then my husband joined in...he has since declined in his exercising...which I think in turn made me slack off as well..well I jumped back on the wagon with both feet this…

all I can say is wow...conrats...Hopefully I can show my before and after pics someday!!

Jiggly...have you downloaded the podcast that go with the couch 25k program? I find them very helpful...I began the program a few weeks ago and fell of when I came down with a cold...I plan on beginning it again hopefully this week...good luck!

Ouch..gained 2.2lbs...lesson learned...do NOT buy foods that I know I can not have!! Today is a new day...:sad:

Good Afternoon! Ok..back on the wagon..thanks all for the support...thats why I love coming here...Eva, I weighed in BEFORE my weekend breakout...LOL..I think I knew I was going to do it..and yesterday I was awful as well..soooo, I do not expect to lose anything this week and wont be surprised if I gain a little…

HI All.. I'm down 1.1lbs...that makes me EXACTLY 200..not 200.1..nor 199.9..exactly 200..what a tease..anyhow..I went off the wagon this weekend so hard that I should have a bruise!! ..we had company and I made a few things for them that I should not have eaten...well low and behold I was sick ALL saturday night..my…

I have both as well...I can burn the same amount of calories in 1/2 the time on the elliptical.... Havingitall...now it makes sense why it seems so much harder when I do the track as opposed to the treadmill...

I'm With Brenda... I have a small one every other Sunday night as a treat..I just make sure that I have saved enough calories for it...or I make sure I work the calories off...I have tried to make my own at home with frozen yogurt..but it isn't the same as DQ

Happy Thursday!! I plan on spending the weekend with some good friends from out of state that I haven't seen in forever!! They will be staying at my house so I need to play Hostess..So I need to come up with a few different healthy finger food ideas...any suggestions??? I was thinking chicken sausage pepper &…

Thanks Richie...althought I think my story is funny now..it wasn't then...my theory is pretty simple...calories in..calories out!!..and MOVE it Move it Move it...I do not think of it as a diet because I do not want to diet for the rest of my life...it's just my new way of eating..and so far..it's working for me...we are…

Close but no cigar..I am down to 201.1...a 2.2 loss ...maybe next week I will be under 200.. although..I first started my weight loss journey on Dec 29,2008...That was the first day we unwrapped the Wii fit and I stepped on it!! I was absolutely shocked as I had no scale in my home and had no idea I had gained that much…

Happy Thursday all! Feeling good! People are beginning to notice...I went for a power walk today on my lunch break with a girl that I work with..we both have been dieting off/on since the beginning of the year...we walked along the riverfront..in the sunshine..no humidity...was it ever hard to come back to work...anyway,…

Thanks for the encouragement Eava!! I am so close to that milestone, I can ALMOST taste it!! I don't normally drink, but we did go out (a rarity) and I just wanted something...so I guess I was wondering what a good choice is for when/if those occasions arise... Hopefully I'll get enough workouts in to balance out the few…

Hello all!! Spiralgirl..I really like the idea of portioning the snacks right away..I must admit that if I have the bag in front of me I will NOT stop at 1 serving...I had a bad Saturday and went over my calories by 300..ouch!! We had a family get together and my mother did me in by baking a chocolate cake...although I did…

Hello all! This was a good week...I'm down 2.6lbs...I definately boosted my game and jumped heavily into exercizing...it feels good..I am sore but it feels good...I decided to begin the couch to 5K challenge...I survived the 1st day...I downloaded a pocast that goes with the program...very cool! Conrats to all...to those…

Hi Patty, Thanks for the advise...I just got home from the track and ran another full lap!! At my speed this time and not trying to keep up with my son..still VERY hard but better than last night..I'm trying to get my breathing under control...in time..in time Spiralgirl71...great job!!! Cheers to you! :drinker:

Hello All...Happy Tuesday!! It's that much closer to Friday...I'm trying hard to step up my exercising..I'm even thinking about the couch to 5K ....I bought new sneakers last night..after trying on what seemed like 100 pairs I found one that I thought felt good...I have a serious recoving case of Plantar Fascitis but after…

Hi Patty, I did not see my progress on the chart..I posted it here on the 9th..I'm now wondering if I was supposed to email it to you as opposed to posting it on the board....LOL...please forgive me..I am new at this but don't worry, I am NOT quitting!! I am addicted to MFP...so much to learn...so much support..I LOVE it!…

Hope everyone had a good weekend...I had a good week with a 2.7lb loss but I did treat myself to Dairy Queen tonight!! I picked up a new treadmill yesterday and blew the dust off of the Elliptical machine...I walked the track with my husband a few times this week as well...he is quite a bit taller than me so I have to walk…

Isn't it funnny how we remember the things that hit a nerve... I'll never forget coming home to tell my parents that I was expecting my first baby....My mother was happy and my father replied " That's great but where the hell are you going to put another 40 pounds?" It definately wasn't a Hallmark moment

Great question Patty I am also interested in the answers..I crave salt...and I LOVE chips and I know I can't have those...so I usually have popcorn...It always seems I have in the 2-300 range of calories left at the end of the day so it allows me 1/2 to 1 whole bag...sometimes I will have tostitos bite size chips and a few…
