I am cautiously optimistic. Sounds like a downer. I've been down this road before. Gotten seriously excited then, let myself down. Week one I am 4.6 lbs down. That is just a teaser. Week one is easiest. We know what those lbs really are. However I am keeping my resolve high and checking in with you guys daily. :)

Start weight ......... 168 Goal weight ......... 135 Lbs to lose ........... 33 Current weight ..... 163.4 Lbs lost ................. 4.6 Week one is always the easiest. :)

To have progressed enough to see a difference and maintain motivation.

Walking Stretching Squats. :)

I restarted September 1st. A few friends and I challenged each other to do Real squats every day. Not the Diddley kind! We're not counting how many. We're going by exertion. I'm also walking and stretching :)

Hi all I'm Barb. I lost my motivation a while back and haven't been able to get back on track. I am V E R Y unhappy about where I am right now. I have 33 pounds to lose and haven't lost a thing in the last two years. Let's DO this together. :)

I lost all motivation. The more I worried about it the less I did about it. I didn't gain but ........ New month. New resolve! Exactly what Crochetluver said. Exactly! Looking forward to being part of this with all of you. :)

Yay! A Group! Hello all! Start weight 168 Goal weight 135 33 pounds. :)

I put my exercise in but change the calorie burn to 2. No matter what I did or for how long. That way my time and the 'what' it was is there for me to look back at but it doesn't add to my daily calorie 'allotment' Keeps me from thinking I have room to eat more. So many times I've seen people put in astronomical burns for…

I must be a REAL Canadian. Stand up True North Strong and Free! Beer and Clamato Yum! Poutine! Yummer! A tankard of Beer And a plate of Poutine. Yummiest!

Or ..... You could look them straight in the eye and say (faking sincerity) "Thank you for spending so much time thinking about me" I realize it takes a lot of energy and forethought" Then smile nicely and walk away. Repeat it whenever they start. I've seen this one work before. Other than that there ia a lot of good…

He'll be old news soon. Those two little princess girls Ellen fawns over will be next.

No one has addressed this. He's a professional athlete? What profession? Any athletes I know have a knowledge of how the body works. Yes, I do know some NHL players and pro Baseball players. They're given lectures and take classes to learn this stuff. Kinesiology. Basic physiology. How and why exercise and diet work to…

Rice swells about three times when cooked. if she ate one cup of cooked rice. that's a little over the calorie and nutrition count of of one serving.

Sally Field . Then. Now. And still.

I too live on country roads. I use a headlamp. Petzel brand. no real reason. just make sure it fits snugly but not too tight. I also use 'turtle' lights. Google these, they're available at outdoor shops, bike shops. I pin them on my jacket front and back. You can set them on blink. or steady. I'm sure I look either like a…

Phoopie Doop! No change ( again)..... Just lazy...... No excuse. Gotta get pushing.

.... me too. I've tried it by the directions. then with less water. it just sogs through toast. Eeww to putting it in oatmeal or shakes. Might just mix it with suet and seeds and put it in the bird-feeder!

Hi! One of my friends challenged me to join you, with her. astill got room? I'd love to be IN! :blushing:

:sad: .... Boo Hoo. No loss for me.....:explode: Remain 157.6 Next week. :smile:

Happy Saturday everyone! last week 159this week .... 157.6... loss 1.4 pounds. It's a beginning. Hope you all did well.

Something that works for me. Every morning I tell myself : I just need to do this for one day. I can do anything for one day. It's only 24 hours. One day One day One day. If you have enough one days in a row, pretty soon you hit Won Day! It makes a difference for me. Good luck on your journey.

Week 0159workin' it !

Two hundred calories isn't much in either direction. My own preference is if I'm hungry I eat them back. If not I give it a miss.

You're wrong! You're Not Half the man you used to be. You Are Twice the man you used to be. You are Half the size of that man. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this.

There are 8 Billion people in the world. Don't let those few ruin your resolve.

Your body uses all liquids to hydrate you. Lots of controversy here. Some Dr.s and trainers say Only straight water counts. That makes no sense to me. It goes in as liquid. It gets flushed out as liquid. If not what does your body do with it? Many people drink no plain water at all.

Laughing. Crying. Bumping to keep. These are absolutely priceless!!!!!!!!!

Great job getting started. The important part is to do something, anything Maybe try walking a little faster to push your heart up some. These videos are performed by experts.
