my goal is to get down to 183 for new years.... i'm at 196 now and just started. is 13 lbs too much to think of for a 5wk goal?? should i lower it and be surprised and happy i made it or keep it at 183 and be potentially disappointed??? ideas noms? :P

Dear wii fit board, I have no idea why you detest me so much. Seriously, I'm not killing you. when i step on you to get my weight, do you have to say "Ohhh" like i've done something wrong??? lol i mean, i'm working out with you daily, might want to be a little more supportive :P Love, the feet who step on you daily

that's so awesome! lol i love dogs, but i don't have one for this kind of reason! my cat can take care of her own business w/out me freezing my tookus off... although i do have some to spare.. hey you might be onto something here! :P

k so i did a weigh in tonight and i'm back at my start weight even though i've exercised every night and only been over calories once in the last week. i'm bummed people! time to step it up i guess! btw... congrats to all you sexy peeps out there who have shrinking waistlines! :D good for you!!! :D

i'm now at 7 me, 2 late night snacking :D

that sounds like a horrible idea... why get addicted to a drug to help weight loss? i'm afraid it might be like a bounce effect once one were to stop using the patches... and weight would come back. not good for your body.

i'm in the same boat! i don't know what is up w/ not losing. :(

thanks everyone! i'll try to drink more water... i don't like sugar substitutes, so i just drink it plain or w/ a splash of lemon or lime. i'll try to add a salad or something w/ my dinners, i can't really keep anything while working because i'm in between clients all day long. that's a big downfall, but the protein bars/…

ok, i made the diary thingy public. other than the soda (which i used to guzzle until last thursday) i don't think i'm doing anything horrible. i've only been over calories once, and only by 100 calories.

mine was shipped today! i can't wait to get it!

i am sooooo proud of you! you deserve some big hugs, hope your family gives you lots today! :D if not, go find a friend cause you deserve some good ol' fashion hugs and high fives!

salad plates! what an awesome idea! never thought of that.. i'll have to try that on Thanksgiving. i'm a sucker for stuffing... i'm going to try to only have a small piece and then work out instead of sleep in front of the football games on tv in the afternoon... good luck to everyone!

i have also heard the best results are in the morning. Blood test at the dr's office is the best bet, however. Don't beat yourself up yet, it is way too early to tell for sure! Hang in there!

sweetheart, you really should have it checked. make payments to the dr if you have to. the thyroid controls your entire body system.... from your immune system, blood pressure, weight, and other systems. i have hashimoto's disease and get my blood levels checked every few months. i find that i have a horrible time losing…

congrats on losing those pounds and getting married! i'm not a bride to be (yet) but i have about 40 or so pounds to lose! Add me and we can keep ourselves motivated! Kristy

luck! you can do it!

welcome! :D hope you find a happier, healthier you!

can you jog in place enough to earn the calories for ONE cookie?? lol if you go to bed starving, you'll only wake up or have a fitful sleep....

congrats on being close to the 21s! :D you can do this! I'm working hard to cut out soda (down to only one 20oz bottle now) and hopefuly my minigoal for new years! :D

yes! i noticed this last night and added some to my list. i didn't get a chance to try any yet, so i'm hoping they aren't lame. lol i'm a HUGE fan of netflix!

wow! that's great! i can't wait to get the wii zumba game now! :D hope it arrives fast!

i've been wondering the same thing!

i agree with the not buying the junk food. i went to walmart and weis markets and bought a bunch of different "healthy" snacks to taste test. so far i like the nature's path pumpkin-spice trail mix flax plus granola bars, the chococonut ones too, popcorn indiana's movie theatre popcorn (in moderation of course) and wheat…

just checking in with you all! i'm down a pound! yay! hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and keep up the hard work! :D

i'm not completely giving up soda, just cutting back significantly. i took an aleve and did drink some soda to help... but the headache is still there. i'm afraid it's going to be a very very rough couple days ahead. it's something i want to do to cut out the sugar in my diet. i'm still going to have tea and coffee w/…

i love stevia and have never heard of those soft drinks! i'll have to look for them. as far as the headaches, i just drank about 4oz of pepsi and hopefully that'll help cause the coffee and aleve were about an hr ago and didn't help. :mad: it's all about the sugars and sacrificing to get healthier. i can do this. thanks…

i am cutting out the pepsi because of the calories and sugars. caffeine isn't the issue. i did have a cup of caffeinated coffee and i still have one whopping headache. i'll look to see if i have excedrin. thanks guys!

i am so in the same boat! since college the weight has slowly added up. i'm scared to death of what i've done to myself over the past decade and hopefully i can get back to a much healthier me. we're here to help each other, right? :D

i have the android version on my phone and love that i can put the calories in right after i eat. helps me to not forget! :D welcome to the "site" and a healthier you!
