I know exectly what you mean I had let my house go no more now it is clean!!!!!!!!!!!

Alberta, also ready for spring

This post really made me laugh. Everytime I see that eat your calories back I think not a chance. I need to lose so much weight that any cal deficiet is needed. Also staration mode, I firmly believe that it would not happen until several weeks if even then. I love this site and i dont think anyone means to be harmful...

I need to start learning new recipes Thanks

check out quitnet.com. It really helped me

i have been watching and they are an inspiration!! They are me :(

You look fantastic!! Way to take care of yourself. Whooooo Hoooo

Just put one day in front of the other. As the days of proper eating and exercise add up you will feel the differences and then see the difference. Don't quit you and everyone can do this. It does not happen overnight you need to work it!!

Hi Leanne; I am originally from Sask, I took my college in Saskatoon and graduated from LCBI. Good luck it sounds like you are already on the right track, :) This website is excellent for support and as a life style change for weight loss. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Oh this is excellent and I think of the things I can do everyday as it is what motivates me to keep going!! 1. I can sit in a booth at a restraunt and not worry about if I will fit or not 2. I can walk up stairs without a thought in my head. 3. Someone else said I can park wearever and not worry, me to in fact I park as…

Well I am no expert but I would certainly not let that happen very often. It is so hard on you body to be throwing up, the acid. Hopefully it was just an anomoly...

I remember feeling the exact same way in about the 5 week or so and someone told me to measure and I was thrilled that there was a difference in the measurements. Just keep at it~

Just finished working out and I feel great!! I had a loss this week as well and taking care of myself is the best present for my whole family. Merry Christmas and do whatever makes you feel great.

I was at a fittness shop yesterday to replace my treadmill (it is wore OUt Woot woot) anyway they had the machine that she is talking about there and they wanted to give me a brochere and talk about it. I asked if they really believed it would do any good as my belief is you get out of it from the effort you put in and no…

Oh no, I have no idea if you are over reacting or not. I just know that in my life lashing out never work out for me. If i figure out a way to make it work then I am happiest if I just let little petty stuff go. If you can both have your party then it really should be okay. Maybe she was thinking that then everyone would…

you look awesome way to go!!:flowerforyou:

I did not take any before pics and had a hard time seeing the progress I have made. I sure wish now that I had something to compare to.

Oh thanks Tina, you looked great last night as well. I have just had the best day. I went over the 50 lb mark and then I went to my Alanon meeting and it was a birthday meeting and 1 of the ladies whose birthday it was had a friend there who played amazing grace on the bagpipes it was the most powerful meeting I have ever…

I am totally with you. I have been losing 10 punds a month and it is a month to Christmas and I really want to make sure that I stay on track. Happy Thanksgiving

For me it was much like any addict, I had to hit rock bottom and I just know that this is the time I will be successful. Everyday I do the one day at a time chant in my head :)

Well I quit last September 8, 2009! I may have gained 35 pounds but it is the best thing I have ever done for me and now I have lost that weight that igained. I used Quitnet.com an incrediable website

Awesome good for you it does work :), not as fast for me but it sure does work

I quit on September 8 2009 with the help of quitnet.com it is an awesome suport website

I read on a blog SEAN Anderson's, to think of your calorie amount as money you only have 1200 calories to spend in a day. You simply can not go over. I tell myself it is not an option to be more than my allowance and I stay under every day. If I was to eat all my calories by lunch then I would be done for the day. No…

Well 2 pds a week is equal to 104 lbs so I think it is very do able Good luck I am going to do it!! :happy:

I have never been to a OA meeting but regulary attend Alanon and I will say 12 step programs are not religious (spelling) but are spritual in nature. I have really found that applying what I have learned in Alanon is really helping me in the weight loss battle...Good luck and keep an open mind. :)

I read your post because i gained 1 pound and just went wow i am under everyday and excercising every day. :) So i went and looked at my sodiom for yesterday after reading what people said and i was over by 1820 on my sodiom. i actually lol'd when i say it that makes sense.

At 20 pounds lost i went and got a pedicure and gel nails. Next 20 maybe a hair cut
