Welcome from Kansas.:flowerforyou:

Hi Dawn--this is an awesome site. There is much great support here:flowerforyou: . As for being a mom of 4 and not losing the "baby" weight. I know your pain:laugh: I too am a mom of four, 1 girl 17 and 3 boys 13, 12 and 10 (three boys in four years) and have been carrying the boys weight all these years:tongue: Any way…

I have a couple dvd's but haven't used them:laugh: . On my cable tv there is a programs under health and fitness that has tons of exercise routines from aerobics to boot camps any where from 5 minute training--how to's--to full blown out 60 minute boot camps through exercise tv. Basically they are ways to try before you…

Maybe there is something in the moon phase or planet alignment:laugh: because I have been hungry all week too. I have been having to do extra excersises to make up for my calorie intake. I agree with you and the gym.....at least we're still exercising, right:happy:

:flowerforyou: You all make me smile:smile: Thank You. I know it's been a day later, and yes today was better but I am so glad to have found you all for this wonderful support:drinker:

Today was the first day that I ate all my calories including the exercise calories. I didn't go over but I was just upset. When I get upset I eat. It's so damn frusterating:grumble: that when I get upset about whatever I turn to food. My boss was not a very pleasant person to work for today:frown: So after work I get home…

Sundays are freebie days for me and I am going to a friends for a Superbowl party. I am still going to try not to go overboard but was told by a friend that I need not to worry about it and enjoy the day; which I will. :drinker:

Well Valentines Day I am working BUT seeing February 12th is my anniversary (14 years) and my husband has always made a big deal out of our anniversary:love: I get to go to a bed and breakfast for the weekend after Vday:heart: I work in retail and hubby is a police officer with crazy hours and after all the holidays this…

Awesome idea:drinker: I too am a very bad night time muncher........There are a couple of things that I do to curb the urge to eat. One, I do the majority of my exercising in the evening and two I drink lots of coffee, which calms and relaxes me and it works as a filler.

I have found that one serving of most items is quite filling; even though I used to eat way more than a serving of most foods--but when it comes to snacks, like potatoe chips (my down fall) I used to eat A LOT more than one serving. Now when I feel the need for chips I purchase one of the small one serving bags of baked…

Excellent Job at remembering to take a snack pack with you and giving into temptation of those dern cookies:laugh: You did Great!!!!:flowerforyou:

Today was day 7. One week since the start of my diet. I started out at 196 and today weighed in at 192. I am so excited..............Hope I can keep it up.

WOO HOO!!!! Wow that is Fantastic!:flowerforyou: Keep up the good work:drinker:

No-- I don't most days

I wrote this just 5 days ago and just a couple days after my initial weigh in at 196. Today at my weigh in I weighed 192 --woo hoo:happy: I know it is easiest to lose the weight the first week and can expect it to be less next week but maybe I should make my Valentine Challenge 186...that will be 10 pounds from my initial…

Keep your head up. This was my first week too. I know it is tough and can be quite depressing. Just remember how good you will feel after a month or two of exercise and dieting and watching those pounds slowly melt away. At least that is how I am looking at it:wink: . We can do this:flowerforyou:

Tomorrow is a new day. It is so easy to get discouraged because dieting and creating a new life style isn't easy. Try to think of what you will gain after losing weight and exercising after six months? Of course I am speaking to myself too because I just started my diet last Monday and already had a "I blew it" junk food…

My age is 38.6 my realage is 40.2 I had expected worse so I guess I am not too dissapointed. If I can lose these 60+ pounds:grumble: and quit smoking:smokin: I might be perfect:laugh:

Wow that is Fantastic!!!:happy: You should reward yourself with something nice:smile: I just started my diet last Monday but looking forward to losing weight. WAY TO GO!!!!!!

Most likely not because they say anything over two pounds is not healthy weight loss. good luck

ok I realize that this is a day later---but I am truly amazed at all the great responses I got. I was leary about posting in the first place and then so many of you jumped right in and told me about your day. Thanks so much for the advice and support you all are AWESOME!!!

I ate candy today. Not just a little bit but 400 calories worth:grumble: This still leaves me under my daily goal for calories but I couldn't believe I ate that much. I haven't even been on this diet for a week and I haven't even reached my weekend; which is Sunday and Mondays. I know it doesn't help that I started my…

Hmmm--Valentines is in three weeks. I just started this diet on Monday at 196 lbs so I can make my first goal to be under 190 by Valentines. Best of Luck to Everyone!!!

That's FANTASTIC!!! keep up the good work

Good Luck to you:smile:

Greetings and best of luck to ya. I too just joined; yesterday:smile:

Just joined:happy: .......put in all my info for today and hoping that I can keep up with my diet and exercise plan:tongue: I am looking forward to being here and having a way of keeping track of what I eat and making myself accountable. I just started my diet Monday and was hoping to find something like this and with a…
