I have felt the same way. After losing 22 pounds, it was like I hit a wall. I then gained a pound, lost 2.5 lb the following week and then today weighed in and gained 1.5 lb. I also haven't been going to the gym like I should. I don't know what happened to make me feel this way but it's like I just woke up and didn't want…

41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. I am from Chicago and most of my answers were great lakes area.

19 out of 20

Do it weekly. If you do it daily you will drive yourself crazy with the fluctuations. I weigh every Wednesday morning after I use the toilet but before I jump in the shower and I am in the buff. Weighing in every week keeps me in check. I also keep a spreadsheet of my daily calories so when I do gain, I can see where I…

I think the show was really good last night. Is it just me or is the product placement and bad acting getting annoying? Like when the girls got a gift basket and they were talking about the 100 cal popcorn or when Bob was telling the guys about Weight Control oatmeal. It's like come on people, the acting is so bad and…

Major UGH!!! I gained 1.5 pounds. It's no one's fault but my own. My motivation lately has been very low. Saturday was a dinner at a friend's where I had wine and ice cream and then Easter I over ate also. I need to focus again and hit the gym. I feel like I have hit a brick wall and can't get through. 1/09/08 = 215.5…

My little guy is 15 months and I don't know if he knows how to push out a fart but when he does do it, he will look at us and laugh. Maybe it feels funny or tickles his little butt. You can't help but laugh, it's too cute.

I like the part about craving meat. This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was feeling sick sometimes when I would eat or drink and was getting headaches. I was going home and just falling on the sofa because I was so tired and felt nausea. (And no I am not pregnant). I then started craving a big, fat juicy steak. The…

Chicago here and YES, the sun is out. They are calling for some snow tonight or tomorrow but just a dusting. We did get some last Friday but where I live, it's all gone. My brother is more north and he still has lots on the ground. Sucks since it's 3 days into Spring.

I recently went back to sugar after trying Splenda. It was making me feel sick and I did get more hungry. The only other thing I eat with fake sugar is Coke Zero but I feel fine after drinking it.

I follow the web site very religiously (though I have had a few slip ups). I set my goals to 2 lbs per week and on average, I am losing 2.33 lbs per week. One week I lost 5 lbs but I had been sick and another week I lost 1.5 lbs. I did gain 1 lb one week but that was from poor eating. I don't use the FINISH LOGGING button…

After a little gain last week, I have lost that extra pound plus 1-1/2 lbs. I am still 3 lbs ahead of where my goal is so I am not complaining. 1/09/08 = 215.5 Starting 1/16/08 = 213 1/23/08 = 211 1/30/08 = 207 2/06/08 = 205 2/13/08 = 203 2/20/08 = 201.5 2/27/08 = 198.5 3/05/08 = 193.5 3/12/08 = 194.5 3/19/08 = 192.0 -…

I use to before. I can't now because the house will shake off the foundation. I will set it up once we get a TV for our downstairs. I loved it and I was pretty good at it!!!

Watermelon does not last long around me. I eat about 1/4 of one at a time and usually have a bloated stomach but it's sooooooooo good. I like the seedless more that seeded, they tend to be more sweet for me. Damn, not you have me craving some!!! :tongue:

Men vs Woman... maybe Look at last season though. The final consisted of 1 man and 3 woman!!! And Julie was very close to Bill's percentage too. Honestly though, I think those brothers weren't "dieting" correctly. His bro Jim looked too thin and sickly I think but then again they were going for $250,000 and $100,000.

Totally makes sense. This time around on my "diet", I have a totally new perspective.

I was wondering when that was starting again. They air them so much, I will have to see when it's on next. I hated Dustin Diamond. I thought he was the biggest jerk. I guess he can't get over the Screech character and needs to show people he is not that guy.

You should evaulate your calories for the week. I gained a pound my last weigh in but when I looked at my cals for the week and added them up, I had consumed about 3000 more cals that week than I did the week before.

Good for you. Mini goals are good too. I have them set also. It doesn't make the long term goal seem so far.

I am finding that after drinking a beverage with Splenda, I just feel nausea. I usually don't even finish the drink because it doesn't make me feel good AND it makes me feel very hungry so I am just going back to sugar. It might have some calories but I don't care. I can't drink tea or coffee anymore with Splenda or any…

Blizzard's are my favorite. Summer is a bad time for that stuff. I know I will have a couple this summer. There is a Dairy Queen close by so I will just walk there and try to burn some calories!!! :laugh:

Okay, so not that good this week. I gain 1 pound. In the 10 weeks on this site, I have lost every week so I guess it was my turn to gain. I need to evaluate my calories. I did eat alot this past Saturday and have increased my calories a little because lately I have been so hungry. I am still past my goal for this week.…

This just happened to me last week. I was doing a happy dance in front of the mirror.

Try them on, you never know until you do. Even if you can't button them, you would have never got them that far back in your size 24 days!!!

You NEED to want it. If you go into it only half way, you will probably fail. I have heard that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. You need to give yourself time. A week is not long enough. Think of this as a lifestyle change and not a "diet". A diet, in my opinion, is a temporary thing. But if make a conscience…

It really doesn't take a lot of hard work and I think that's why alot of people fail. It is a lifestyle change and you can't expect yourself to change overnight. I work out 3 times a week. I know some people who work out 6 days a week and I see them haven't less weight loss than me so you have to find what works for you in…

I use brown eyeshadow for my brows and use a brush to apply. It works better and looks more natural than a pencil. It takes a little practice to make it look right but is definitely worth it.

I love Coldstone. The first time I went I got an I LOVE IT and could barely finish it. They give you so much. I was by one yesterday and wanted some but it's like still freezing here in Chicago and I didn't think it would be a good idea. Ice Cream is my weakness!!!

Brag away baby!!! You deserve too!!! :flowerforyou:

I love DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)!!! Though I haven't been able to use it in a long time because our TV downstairs (on a cement slab) is too old and we can't hook up the console and if I did it upstairs (wood floor) the whole house shakes, not a good thing.
