don't remember how long ago it was, but i was here before and really enjoyed it. and then i messed up and did what i always do when i mess up...avoid what makes me accountable all together, lol. anyway...i've returned, and climbed up on that wagon again, hoping to stay there this time. gonna go read some posts and see…

i think sometimes we women get offended and think they don't love or want us as we are, when they suggest something like "making an effort to look better". but i know for me anyway, that if i came home everyday to my husband in sweats and t-shirts, i wouldn't feel much in the area of passion either. we think that it…

my bikini body was history 2 kids ago...lol. but i'd love to peek into this thread every so often, as i've lost 6, and still have 27 to go to my goal.

yikes...lol. i was getting my britches in a bunch reading this, thinking what a creep that jim was..... until the end...lol. very cute.

what a great eye opener that last line about the margarine was!!!!! that will surely help me accept that silly 1 to 2 pounds a week better. and i'll never look at a tub of margarine the same again either...lol. thanks!!

dr. oz says.... just kidding. if anyone watches oprah, they've seen the dr. oz show where he goes into detail about how often you should....um....poop....and what it should look like too!!!!! (and danged if you don't look at your own after hearing him to see if it looks the way he says it should...lol). just had to giggle…

thank you for all the great comments. i was a little worried that i offend folks by asking....lol. i racked up some burned calories being a "valentine" last nite....:wink: lol

very cool...thank you for the help here. i will use the aerobics one then. i hadn't thought to go that way. thanks!! (they really should add sex tho...lol)

you can add calories burned that aren't on a list anywhere? how? and how would you know how many calories "lite, or vigorous" would be? lol so that you can deduct them?

somewhere on there at least...i mean... we can burn some real calories there!!:wink:

um.... not meaning to be tacky. honest. but thinking that sex should be on the exercise lists...lol. you know?

how wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if those aren't motivating factors...i don't know what would be...lol. congrats!!

now there is some strength you should be proud of!!!!! now if i only could do that with things like.... taco bell... lol.

when i first started this site, just after new year, i had tacked losing weight and quitting smoking as well. the snack attacks were very hard for me. and my weight went up and down the first two weeks, cause i figured having a snack was better than giving into a cigarette. i'm proud to say as of today, i'm 29 days…

excited that i finally lost five pounds!!! now it's on to the next 5 pound goal!! terri

kudo's to you!!!!!

i have to sneak in and out while at work...so i don't get too long. at home...there is no time at all for the computer, with three kids, homework, dinner, etc.....

locked, a definitive search huh? lol. i'm gonna do one of those on fried quesedillas...lol.

fried quesedillas with tomatoes and cheese inside....mmmmmmmmmm:ohwell:

yep...eating much less, and not feeling that "nap attack" feeling after stuffing myself. still blows me away, cause man...i can eat! lol. and to find these little amounts satisfying if i just wait until they get where they are supposed to, is really something. i'm willing to bet that i'm eating even less than half of what…

the portion control thing has really been a wake up call. i am sticking to recommended portions and still feeling hungry when i finish the portion....but.... i'm doing the 20 minute trick and it works!!! i'm waiting 20 minutes after i eat the correct portion, figuring if i still feel hungry at that time, i'll eat more. but…

okay cool...i will try that. it will have to be tomarrow tho, because i only brought one from the package, and left the package home with the other one in it...lol. but now i know...thank you!

i can't find a food in the list of foods they give? today i brought a whole grain, lean pocket for lunch. i know it's 260 calories, per the box....but there is no listing for it. ???:huh: terri

whatever the excitement was...i missed it. probably a good thing...lol.

if it's your metabolism.... can i have it? lol

the site does cost. i had joined it...only to find it wasn't for me..."yet". it's actually very much the way i'd like to be, so i'd like to get there eventually. but i'm not gonna pay for it, if i'm not ready just yet. i have the book too. but...again, not ready to follow his ways yet. and he does want you to fix all the…

to rak.... i did attempt to do bob greene, and tho i failed, i think it's a great program. it just doesn't work for me, cause of the amount of exercise required. i realize we need to do it...but i am a person who does better attacking one issue at a time. i quit smoking on the first (15 days free today), and now i'm…

TO BLA.... chris's story touched me too. i got teary eyed watching him that pool and hearing how all the others looked up to him. i guess you could say i'm joining the challenge. i didn't sign anything, but i got my journal out yesterday and decided to keep track. did my measurements and recorded them. i want to lose 30…

was just wondering if anyone caught the show yesterday. she had bob greene on, and it's so encouraging to see some of the success stories she brought on. i feel like i'm on board for the challenge...lol.

wow...thank you so much for all the replies. tomarrow when i take my lunch to work, i'll fell more "sure" about what i'm eating. today was lasanga....and tomarrow i think i'll try the pannini...it's chicken, bacon, tomatoes and cheese? sounds so good already. i don't do well with veggies at all, but i love fruit and have…
