WOO HOO!!!! Today was my first "official" one week weigh in and LOST 6 LBS IN ONE WEEK! Thank you to mfp for helping me to keep track of calories. Thank you to all the wonderful ladies on this thread for your inspiring words to me and to others.

Sheilajane - That is a VERY BIG WOO HOO!!! It feels great knowing that you burned all those calories, doesn't it? If you think about it, it's just putting one foot in front of the other. I'm really happy for you!

Hello everyone, Well, a short while ago I came in from doing an hour of exercise outside. Today it looks like I live inside of a Snow Globe. There isn't any wind out (thank goodness) and the snow is coming down in big, fluffy flakes. It's actually quite pretty to look at. So I got myself all bundled up and put my heart…

Hi everyone! So I went out for a 1/2 hour walk a little while ago. I must say that it was very refreshing and felt really nice having the sun on my face. The sun is shining out here in Ontario, Canada and not a breath of wind in the air. With everyone at work (except for me) my walk around my neighborhood was very quiet.…

Good morning everyone! It is so nice to read this thread from my fellow Canadian friends. I enjoyed reading your posts on this thread. I have to say that a couple of your posts did make me go, "hmmm...." suef - you mentioned the stationary bike in your post because you enjoyed cycling last summer. jb_sweet_99 - you said…

Good morning ladies, Well I took your advice and decided not to feel guilty over my indulgence the other night. As one of you said, I'm making memories with our Australian houseguest. Yesterday we took our guest in to town and walked, walked, walked. Secretly I was thinking about the calories I was burning while out in the…

Good morning everyone, Well, I'm going to swallow my pride and be really honest here. I didn't want to do this post but after an inner argument with myself, I decided that the only way I can "get real" with myself is to put this down in type. Yesterday I went over my calorie count for the day and it is all my fault. We…

kalabrdm - thank you so much for the tip about this book. I will definitely check it out. I too am hypothyroid and I have noticed the weight gain too. fowlmeli1093 - I recently found out that you should not have dairy within 4 hours of taking your thyroid pill. Apparently the ingredient "lactose" encapsulates the thyroid…

I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you for how nicely you speak to one another. I feel like I am getting to know you and I'm really excited about the future. I feel that…

Okay, sorry, I'm still getting used to posting messages. This is Eliahearts tip for a yummy between the meal snack.
-
That does sound yummy! I discovered that 2 slices of lean turkey deli slices, 1 sliced tomato and 1 cheese string really does the trick fo me. It's like have a sandwich but without the bread and condiments. It too sustains me in between meals. It's only 170 calories. I'll have to give your snack a try too Eliaheart. Thanks…

kjenks - thank you so much for your honesty. I think for many of us we have been in denial about our weight issues. It certainly doesn't help when almost everyone on T.V. is so skinny. For me, I just want to be healthy. I'm going to try to lose 1 lb a week until I get to my healthy weight goal. As the old saying goes,…

Oh, one more thing. If anyone is interested, The Biggest Loser debuts tonight. I love to root for the underdogs. I get excited for everyone when they drop the weight. Have a nice day, eh! LOL!

Abbychick - wow, someone from my hometown. That's awesome! Good luck with working out, I hope it's not as cold "back home" as it is here in Kingston, Ontario. Eliaheart - nice to chat with you again. I have the Jillian Michaels Shred DVD. It's as brutal as she is on TV. I stopped trying for now at least of doing the DVD. I…

Wow, Biggest Loser starts up again tomorrow night? Woo hoo! I LOVE watching how people start off looking so tired, so beaten down by their weight and then watch week after week their excitement as the pounds burn off. I get so excited for them. I love rooting for the underdogs too. Last season was so good. I love that…

Hi everyone! Just like many of the messages I have just read, I too enjoy having a glass of wine. But now I see my belly and I feel so frustrated. I figured out a way to "trick" myself psychologically. I tried this trick for the first time (I'll be honest here) last night. I was offered a glass of wine and I knew I was…

Hello all you awesome ladies! I am brand new to mfp so please, let me introduce myself. My name is Debbie and I turned 50 last September. I actually feel really proud to be 50. It feels like I've earned a badge. I guess I have when I look back on every thing I have done. I am especially proud to be a mother. I have…

Sorry, I posted only that I live in Ontario. I forgot to say that I live in Kingston. Oopsie...

I've been hearing about geo caching for about a year now. I'm an avid hiker and I really would like to get into this and incorporate it in with my hiking. It sounds like a blast.

Hi Eliahart, I'm brand new on this site and I live in Ontario. I really like this site so far. I'm really excited about finally being able to be more structured in weight loss.
