No, I don't really have a cheat meal. I don't record my calories on Sunday's, but I still try to watch what I eat. Yeah, I'm REALLY tired of the same old foods day after day. It's almost easier to eat nothing at all!

I have been working diligently for the past 8 weeks and have consistently lost 1 pound a week. But I have to tell you....I am SICK of salads for lunch and fruit for snacks!!!:tongue: I get hungry and look at the fruit bowl and NOTHING appeals to me! I have really been stuggling for the past week or so. I am craving carbs.,…

Starting weight: 185 Last week: 178 This week: 177 Slow and steady wins the race!:happy:

The only suggestions I have is to make up your mind that you are only going to have 1 helping of food, I slice of bread, and 1 SMALL serving of dessert. Eat slowly, enjoy the conversation, enjoy being with family and don't focus on the food so much. After you've eaten your 1 helping, get up from the table and put your…

I have a few favorites. * "Walk Away the Pounds Express" with Leslie Sansone * "The Biggest Loser" (I have the one featuring Bob Harper and the contestants from seasons 1 &2. It has 4 different workouts: Low-Intensity Cardio; High-Intensity Cardio.; Strength & Sculpt; and Boot Camp. I usually do the Strength & Sculpt…

I have a friend who belongs to a gym. She goes to all those classes, body pump, aerobics, you name it... I said something to her one time that I would be too self conscious to do that (kind of like what you said). She said that everyone is too busy working out to pay any attention to other people. So go and enjoy yourself!

I was sad to see Bernie go too!:cry: Starting weight: 185 Last week: 179 This week: 178 Total Lost: 7 pounds! No matter what I do, I can't seem to lose more than one pound a week! Oh well, at least it is a loss, and I'll take it!!!!

I have found doing yoga almost daily has lowered my stress level. I don't get into all the meditation parts of yoga, but doing the deep stretching and the relaxation techniques has really helped!

Maybe some yoga? I do yoga and you can go into the poses as much or as little as you can. It may help to loosen your shoulder up? Also, you could walk on the treadmill, you don't have to use your shoulder at all for that.

True, but if you choose small banana's at the grocery store, a small banana only has 90 calories, and lots of potassium.

I really love pilates! I was in the store about a month ago, buying a pilates DVD. A woman (a very thin woman), in line in front of me said that she noticed I was buying a pilates DVD, she said she loves pilates and that she had recently just lost 95 pounds doing only pilates! I can't do pilates every day though, because a…

Starting weight: 185 Last week: 180 This week: 179 Goodbye 180's forever!!!!! I am still losing....slowly....but still losing! YAH!!

Thanks everyone! I'm still tired, but your suggestions were great! I made it through the day, and tomorrow is Saturday!!!! YEAH, I get to sleep in!!!!:happy:

I am so tired today!!! I woke up tired, and I just couldn't get motivated! I finally did a 30 min. yoga DVD, and that's IT!!! I usually work out for at least an hour, sometimes an hour and a half. Now I feel guilty because I didn't meet my daily exercise goal, and I probably won't have time later to do anything else! I am…

Starting weight: 185 Last week: 181 This week: 180 It's coming off slowly, but at least it's coming off!!! I am glad Paul was off too! I kind of liked him, until last night. It made me furious that he didn't even TRY to stick to anything when he got home!!!! If he didn't want to think about his own goals, he should have at…

Thanks! I'll try that website!

Where do you find one of those watches? Also, I input my exercise, but MFP doesn't tell how many calories you burn, you have to input the numbers. Maybe I'm doing it wrong! For instance, if I walk 4 mph for an hour, I'm not sure how many calories that would burn! I don't work out on machines, I don't belong to a gym, and…

How do you guys figure how many calories you burn? I work out every day for at least an hour, and I don't think I am burning nearly that many calories!

I am a weight lifting/yoga junkie!!!:tongue: I can and do yoga every day (except Sunday, that's my rest day). I also LOVE lifting weights! BUT..... I HATE cardio!!!! I FORCE myself to do it twice a week, but I REALLY have to force myself to do it! It doesn't matter what it is...treadmill, walking videos, aerobics...etc., I…

Yes, I lost 1 pound LAST week, but this week I lost NOTHING!!! That's why I'm so frustrated! Anyway, thanks so much for all the support. I know I need to look at the big picture of health and fitness, and not so much the numbers on the scale. The scale has never been my friend!:mad:

Am I deluding myself to think that i can actually lose the last 20-25 pounds!!!!! I am so frustrated! I only lost 1 pound last week, so I went into my account and changed the weight loss per week from 1 pound to 1 1/2 pounds, which lowered my caloric intake by 200 cal. per day. I am honestly trying to be very accurate when…

I had a chicken burger on a bun - 250 cal. mixed vegetables 1/4 C. - 30 cal. home made baked sweet potato fries - 103 cal.

Well, it's about to begin! My son's b-day is this weekend....there will be cake! My husbands b-day is 3 weeks after....there will be cake! MY b-day is one month later...there will be cake! (This one isn't so bad because I plan on having strawberry shortcake which is much lower in fat). Then one month after that is my…

Well, that's a good question! I am 5'7" and currently weight 181. About 2 years ago I weighed 173. I felt really good at that weight, but I am never satisfied. At that time I wanted to be 160. My current goal is to be back to 170ish. Then my secondary goal is to be in the 160's. What I really want is to be a size 10/12 in…

I buy special snacks just for me. Like 100 cal. packs, fat free cookies, etc., then I make sure and only eat 1 serving! :tongue:

I have a gall bladder problem (low functioning) and also IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). With both of these issues I was told to give up artificial sweeteners. It was not until I did that I began to feel a bit better. Now I am so afraid of having and "attack", that I stay away from it altogether. To be quite honest, I…

Does it have caffeine?

Thanks! I knew you would help me feel better!

I have been on here 3 weeks. The first week I lost 2 lbs. Last week I lost 1 lb. This week I again only lost 1 lb.!!! I was really hoping for at least 2 lbs. I just don't understand why it is going so slowly! I am working REALLY hard! I exercise 5 times a week, for at least an hour each time. I do several different things.…

I only lost 1 pound again this week! :cry: Starting weight: 185 Last week: 182 This week: 181 I was really hoping for at least 2 pounds!!! It seems like it is coming off so slowly!!! I'm getting a bit discouraged!
