Thanks for the info! I've always wondered about regularity :blushing:

You look AMAZING :flowerforyou: Keep up the great work!

:bigsmile: Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Have you recorded your measurements? Seeing the scale stay the same for extended periods would drive me NUTS and a friend encouraged me to start tracking my NSV (non-scale victories). Whenever the scale would stall at least I would still be able to give myself a pat on the back for accomplishing an NSV.

1. Do you experience a lot of stress-producing thoughts when attempting to sleep, such as things to do or worrisome thoughts, that prevents you from falling asleep quicker? _X_Yes __No 2. On an average night, how easy is it to fall asleep? __Pretty easy _X_ Not easy 3. About how many hours of sleep do you get each night?…

Bump. I am a stress eater too! I will have to take that tea suggestion into consideration. I really like too :)

<-- New to the Group :) Hi Everyone! My name is Daisy and I just stumbled across this group and I hope that I am not too late. I recently started running again and I am so excited that I have been able to get off to a great start so far. I've been running at the local Y, so this is all treadmill running for the time being.…

I also had the Margarita Chicken with Brown Rice and Beans and it was pretty good; something like 550 calories.

This week I have cooked twice and I don't really know that it counts as cooking. I threw some chicken breasts into the crock pot and added spices and veggies; this evening I did chicken breast, tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, garlic, parsley flakes, basil, oregano, black pepper, mushrooms and some water. I guess I…

Yahoo!!

Call me crazy, but ever since I trained for a 5k earlier this year I HAVE to get onto the treadmill whenever I go to the gym; now that I am closer to my goal weight it just doesn't seem like that daunting piece of equipment that would scare me a bit sometimes. So for now at least, my favorite is the Treadmill.

Bump :D

On my "off" days I do a bit of dancing on my Wii :)

To be honest, by focusing on my diet it helps me keep my mind on something other than the things that are really bringing me down. I come here everyday and post on my wall, keep a somewhat regular diary and try to motivate my MFP friends to cheer each other one. You CAN do this. Just focus on what this journey means to you…

Yay! Well you've made an excellent choice joining this group. I think you are going to find this is the perfect place for support and encouragement :bigsmile: I've recently come back to the site and I cannot imagine having made it this far without EVERYONE here :noway: and now I just cannot imagine not coming home and…

Someone pinch me .. this cannot be true :bigsmile: Let's just go over how much better Cholula makes everything :love: ~Daisy

I like your approach! You are going to do great :bigsmile:

Visit the site! There are so many people offering support and encouragement :) Make sure you track and don't cheat because it will only hurt you in the long term. You CAN do this! ~Daisy

Welcome!! I am sure you are going to have a blast here; there are a lot of people who are so encouraging and supportive. Just keep an open mind and don't be afraid to ask questions or share some good recipes :) ~Daisy

I am not even going to lie, when I first started tracking again I was a little concerned; but my sugars come from the fruit I am eating. So I quickly decided that I was not going to pay much attention to that part of my daily report. I don't know about anyone else, but I am not about to give up my apples :)

Welcome to MFP! I think you are going to find everyone here to be so helpful and supportive :) I am sure you are going to do fabulous! ~Daisy

I am glad you asked because I did not know myself :) I thought it was a sort of "high five".

Welcome! This is a really wonderful and supportive community :) You are going to do great. ~Daisy

Thanks!

I've read and been told that we often confuse thirst for hunger. Try drinking some water (8-10 fl oz) and wait about 20-30 minutes and see if you are still just as hungry. Do you drink your 6-8 glasses of water a day?

I've been going through the same thing; last week started off really well when I went for an AM walk and trying to work out after work is just, well a pain because I find myself also making excuses. Unfortunately for me I will be going into work really early this week, but I did note that when I planned my exercise for…

I have Just Dance 2! And yes, I like to dance the pounds away as well. I also have the Wii Zumba game and it kicked my hiney today :embarassed: I am just glad that I had the sense to draw the curtains before I started otherwise someone may have called the paramedics on that seizing woman across the street!

Here Here! I think we should start a petition to have them work on this ASAP!

Hi Lisa! I know that you are going to do great :bigsmile: and you can always come for support and encouragement. ~Daisy

I used to weigh everyday, and then it got a little out of control because I would let the scale make or break my entire day. So I moved onto just doing it once a week. I think it all depends on your own personality, though it is important to keep in mind that weight does fluctuate from one day to the next. Good luck! ~Daisy
