madgoth

Thanks ladies for your comments and advice. I am not actually doing atkins, but I have before. I just can't believe that is healthful. I did lose, but I could never add any foods back after the first few weeks. ANything I do that involves eating less, healthy and exercising will be positive for me. I completed my food list…

Thanks for the welcome Katia :smile: Well, a new day. So far I have eaten half an avocado with rye crisp and some mandarin oranges. I also spent some time looking up things low in carbs that I might be able to use as a breakfast. I love eggs, but I do get tired of them every day. The plan I am attempting reminds me of…

I am madgoth and I live in Alabama. It has been a long time for me to come back here, I am determined again. New motivation, so I am on day 5 of my plan and I am doing very well. I did eat 2 klondike bars tonight, but that is the only bad thing I have done in almost a week. So I am still very pleased with my progress. I…

Hello all, I am back after who knows how long and too many pounds gained. But that is old news. Today I had a good breakfast and decided it was time to log it in. I hope to recall how it was to check in and state your goals etc., but right now I am glad I am even thinking about it. Glad to be back. :bigsmile:

Hi -- I have been off my plan for some time, but now I am back. Goals: stay focused journal lose at least 15 pounds before I go to England in June

I haven't been doing anything lately, but I am back again, starting today. I have had such a difficult time eating right, and I haven't exercised at all. But I want to be good and my reward will be a trip to Harryworld. I need a goal of somesort. So I will go to Universal this fall (cooler) if I stay on my plan, both food…

That is so great! I like the idea of PE. That is how I stayed at 97 all through high school. We had PE every day. I ate everything I wanted to. I am back online now, hoping to get it in gear and start doing things how I am supposed to.

Add some kidney beans for fiber

Hi, I mindlessly snack at work. When I don't have anything handy, I start obsessing about it and start looking at the snack machines. I have figured out that for me, it is boredom. And so I am trying to remember that. Plus, I do have a few snacks handy, which helps keep me away from more dangerous ones. I am starting to…

Hello everyone! I want to set my April goal to do at least 15 minutes of some kind of exercise every day.

I don't know about the MOM, but they were recently hiring for the Wizarding World theme park in Orlando. Wouldn't that be a neat job, to dress up and play Harry Potter for the tourists?! :laugh:

I like her so far as I am very overweight and have had a problem being able to exercise at all. I have lost 12 pounds with watching calories and doing her one mile almost every day. I need to increase to the two mile, but I am trying first to get a routine that includes exercise time. I am having trouble finding a good…

I read today that Harry's Wizarding World opens June 18th. Is anyone going to be there? I am considering it, since it is almost my birthday. I am afraid if I don't go, they will have Daniel, Rupert and Emma down for the opening. Or Alan. I would just die if I missed seeing him! I think I could be inspired to lose 20-30…

Have a great time in San Diego!

:love: here is the new trailer: http://www.sevensidedcube.net/entertainment/2010/watch-harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-hq-movie-online-trailer/

I was good but I did eat my exercise calories. Drank tons of water. Got to go sing now. you guys have a good evening.

I have been drinking extra water and it has increased my tinkling by three! Luckily I love water, better than any other drink. But it is getting to be annoying to have to pee all the time. :drinker: Excuse me whilst I go right now. :huh:

Some people just aren't there yet. It took me a long time to get into the frame of mind where I realized it was all up to me. I think many people get stuck in denial that it is their job to take control of what goes in. The happiest I have felt is when I realize that I was choosing to eat the healthy thing, or saying no to…

Books are the best. But I like the actors they picked for the characters. They all fit fairly well with who I had in mind. But I have to admit that I was likely influenced by the movies when I started reading the books.

MacMadame, I am very large and have some trouble breathing, so I don't feel ready to do much, but I have found walk away the pounds and that seems to challenge me fairly well. I can do the mile with no problem and hope to get started on the 2 and 3 mile ones soon. Its enough for me until I shed some pounds. I don't know…

everyone is so inspiring, why I even exercised tonight before bed. Congrats especially to skinny mari, you are going to blow away!

Thanks, good suggestions. I just now walked upstairs rather than riding the elevator. I have asthma so it isn't the leg work, it is just hard to breathe when I get to the top. But I did it and I will try to do that everytime I come upstairs. Summer is better because I get the yardwork done with no problem. Just DO it, like…

Yes, I live close enough to drive (10 hours) and I have a friend who lives there. If she hears those particulars for the opening of the park, I will be down there in a flash. If not, I will just go in the fall when its cooler. I can't take florida in the summertime. Incidentally, I met Alan in NYC when he was in Private…

Thanks mamacindy81, I accept the challenge. :bigsmile:

Did anyone see the abc family Harry Potter weekend? I noticed a bunch of scenes I have never seen in all of the movies. I was able to see a bit of all of them and all of Order of the Phoenix. I didn't do anything else useful though. Ohwell, there is always today. I need to figure out an exercise time that I can commit to.…

Hello all, I hope you guys are doing better than I am. I just can't seem to make myself exercise lately. I haven't gained, but I want to lose, not just stay the same. I keep thinking it is the time of day I choose, but I think I am just unmotivated. :sad:

I do Leslie Sansome's walk away the pounds 1 mile right now. I have had a hard time finding an activity that I could and would do and that has worked the best for me. I just need to do it every day and even twice a day sometimes. But at least I am doing something.

I got them at the Warner Brother shop. SW: 260 CW: 250 Goals: improve lifestyle maintain healthy weight 1st goal: develop new habits

OMG!!! I am a Harry fan because of Alan Rickman!! :love: I want to lose a substantial amount by the time of the movie release. Got to look good too, down at the Universal park! :bigsmile: I bought a pair of Luna's Spectre specs for that occasion!!! :glasses:
