I would like to join if there is room!

Great job!!

For me-I really did find it was about slow. And, I still have days where I mess up-and I am sure those will continue. The main thing is to learn what you should be doing, and start doing them in baby steps. You can't make all the changes overnight and expect them to stick. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! It looks like the Walk Away the Pounds is probably a good value, at four different routines on one dvd-I may check that one out! :) I will look on ebay, dont' want to pay full price!

Laughing cow cheese wedge with celery sticks is a great snack for me! Also, peanut butter and bananas (addicted to that!)

I alternate between that and dipping my salad in the dressing (Lightly, I don't mean dunking!) I don't know if I could ever even go back to putting the dressing ON the salad! (Unless it is my measured light Italian that I use at home)

My biggest pet peeve, which grows by the day, is the lack of respect for the English language. I am sick of seeing so many things misspelled, along with such poor sentence structure. Every day the amount of grammatical errors I see is growing! Frightening to think this is where our future is headed. TEXT SPEAK IS NOT…

I use the liquid Coffemate Creamer. I like all the different flavors-and I only drink one cup of coffee a day, so I am not going to worry about it. I log it, with everything else-but I am not willing to give it up. I have given up a million other things-my coffee and creamer stay!

173.00. Gain this week. Grr.

You can do this! Just take it ONE DAY at a time!! There will be times it will be hard, and days you will breeze through-just take it all in stride-and remember, it will happen!

In the 2011 version of Eat This Not That book, they talk about how bad that place is for you. It is insane-and I will not be going back, just because I believe they could make it better and just aren't doing so. For that, I will not eat there.

I'M walking on Sunshine! Oh! Ohhhh yeeeh I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure And I just cant wait till the day when you knock on my door Now everytime I go for the mailbox , gotta hold myself down Cos I just wait till you write me your coming around I'm walking on sunshine , wooah I'm walking on sunshine,…

It's monday-and the start of a brand new week!!! I hope everyone is keeping the focus! We can and will do this! One day at a time:) Work on the exercise, water and calorie counting-and things will fall into place! When you struggle-look to someone for help. It is always good to have people you can count on and that will…

I can't update at work-but mine from the one week was 174.2 and then last week was 172.8. Can someone log this for me?

Welcome back! You can do it! Don't let it drag you down, we are all in this together. Add me if you want! :drinker:

Keep it up guys! I see a lot of "down" posts, people feeling down or not doing well. I just want to say-KEEP AT IT! No matter what-I know that this is hard (if it wasn't, we would all be at goal already!), but you just have to keep trying. One day at a time-don't forget that. No matter if you mess up-just keep going and…

I feel that I am back on track. I lost 1.4 pounds between last week and this week. I am very excited about that:wink: What worked was taking it one day at a time! That was really important-and will have to be my continued focus! This week my goals are: More exercise One day at a time with tracking/eating well Paying…

172.8 Total weight loss since starting journey= 9.4 It is going really slow-but I am learning a lot I think it will pick up from here. Here is hoping!

I gradually go up-so mine is the exact opposite;) Oh well! I feel better doing it this way-that way I can still enjoy my dinners with my hubby:)

Well...I will add mine on:) I used to drink Turtle Mocha's from Caribou coffee....some days I would have two! (Medium sized!) When I would eat donuts-I would eat a cinnamon roll plus a chocolate covered donut and couldn't have those without Coke! Talk about sugar overload! King Size candy bars.....oops! Fritos and bean…

I just want to thank everyone for their responses. I really have appreciated reading them, and the advice and good wishes. I am so glad I have this forum to participate in, and to know that there are others like me out there. Thank you so much!!!

Hello fellow group members! While I have been weighing in, I haven't been posting. The reason: Anger at myself for not losing, and knowing why I am not losing, and feeling helpless. All of this added up to not wanting to talk about it! Well, for those of you that I am friends with on here-you saw today that I admitted that…

Hello and good luck! It is an awesome site and can be very helpful!!

I love starting my day doing this! It is my favorite workout.

Good morning! I am back to 172.2. Last week I had a gain (vacation gain) so I am happy to be back to the 10 pound loss. However-I need to step it up!

I agree with this one. i don't know how to swim, and I am 30 years old! I am afraid of the water because of this-and there is no way that I will not have my kids learning how to swim-no matter what size I am. There are serious limitations when one doesn't know how to swim, not to mention the death hazards. Please think…

Chicken Breast, Oatmeal, grapes, carrots, bananas, peanut butter, bread, LEAN meat, celery.....that's all I can think of right now:) My saving grace is that I actually don't like too much variety (recently discovered through eating better on this site). Breakfast-Quaker Oats Weight Control Variety Lunch- Peanut butter and…

Thank you so much for posting this. I have these stupid binges and then I hate myself!! It has been a never ending cycle!!! I have found as long as it isn't in the house-I can't eat it. However-if it is in the house...and no one is around....I WILL EAT AND EAT! Even if I am telling myself I am full-I will still eat. I feel…

I don't eat within an hour of getting up. You should do what is best for you. I get up at 5:15 to work out and don't eat until I get to work-8 AM. I just don't have the time in between then, so I have to do what I can. I do drink water though.
