I had that happen to me a few months ago and I took one day and weighed and measured everything. Just focusing on one day. Then realized how much I was eating so I focused on the next day. I just try hard to log what I can even if it is at the end of the day. At least then I logged it. I always tell myself this isn't a…

Day 4 got up this morning and did 30 min of Jillian M DVD. Tomorrow will make day 5 I'm so excited I don't think I have worked out this much in 10 yrs. and yes I realize I don't even workout a fraction of what most of you do but for me this is huge!!! It is so motivating to see exert one working so hard.

A year ago I found this short all sequence dress in a size large (a really small large) that I loved. My hubby and Mother bought it for me to inspire me to lose the weight. At the time I was a 2x. It hangs in my closet to push me harder. I want to be able to wear it at my husbands Christmas party this year (in February).…

Still on day 3 :( Ended up with no exercise yesterday. Not letting that happen today. I need to run downtown to pick something up during lunch and plan to walk, then take the kiddos to the zoo for some extra time walking, and hopefully still fit in a workout DVD. I need to get a lot of exercise in this weekend because I'm…

We have a huge family reunion for labor day (well actually we do it Sunday). Everyone brings a dish. My hubby thinks I'm crazy but I'm bringing 3. a dip and veggies/ baked chips so that I have a snack food, a salad and a desert. That way I know of have plenty of food I can choose and limit my temptations. Plus we grill so…

This is what I have started to do. I had lost 50 lbs and gained half of it back because I was "dieting" know I am focused on changing my lifestyle. I 'm tired of yo-yoing. I'm amazed at the difference weighing food has made. I just ordered a pocket size scale to take with me, as I eat a lot at family functions of in the…

Day 3 done!!! Can't believe I am saying this but I got up at 5 am this morning and did a Jillian Michael Video. I actually feel great! I know a lot of people do that but I am not a morning person and I struggle just to get up and shower b4 my kiddo wake up. And up until a few weeks ago, I didn't really workout at all,…

Well didn't get my treadmill fixed but took the kiddos for a 60 min walk. Love the extra it takes pushing a double stroller!!!

only walked for 20 min last night after 15 min the belt came loose on my treadmill and after 20+ min I still couldn't fix it. going to make it a better workout tonight and fix that darn thing.

Tonight is going to be a hard one. First day of school and my son picked cheesy tatter-tot hotdish. there is nothing healthy even when I sub in greek yogurt and swap things out. Hoping to offset it with steamed veggies. Love the tilapia recipe. I might have to try that this week!!!

I'm in. But I have a hard time fitting in workout time till the boys are in bed so I will not be able to always log it till the next morning. I am excited because I just discovered that Jillian Michelle's DVDs (well some of them) are free with amazon prime.

I normally don't weigh in on things like this but I have to on this. Experiencing Bradycardia (lower then normal heart rate) is normal for a health person but can be a symptom of something greater in some. In your case you have worked your butt off. 116 lbs down, working out regularly. I would be more concerned if your RHR…

I so want to be a morning workout person. But with my kids it just doesn't work so I end up working out at 9-10ish at night. then I wonder why I can't sleep. but at least I am starting to workout. I have been walking for 60 min each night on my treadmill. I know it isn't much compared to everyone else. But I didn't…

Seafood sounds so good. I live in North Dakota so as you can imagine seafood not always even a choice and never really that fresh. Eating out is my weakness. Tonight we went out to eat and then after my hubby surprised me with a chocolate cheese cake from a place I love that is a 2 hour drive round trip. I couldn't not eat…

Even more but let's start with 20. I'm a 36 yr old with a wonderful hubby and 2 very active sons 4 yrs and 1 1/2 yr old. I work hard at…

@ anamonacc - I truly think that those that just stopped snacking and never failed just didn't really have a habit or issue with snacking or are lying lol. I can say I just have come to the conclusion that I will probably never stop snacking, because I started feeling so bad from failing I have given up. I don't even get…

I woke up this morning not feeling the best. Now I'm feeling horrible and hubby is gone, so it's me and the kiddos. I'm not one of those I'm sick and will lose a bunch of weight instead I snack and drink my calories normally not making the best choices.

Back from my long weekend. We spend 5 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday, 5 hours Sunday, and 8 hours on Monday landscaping. I would probably lose a ton of weight this week from all of the hard work, but we ate horribly and drank Saturday when we were done for the night. Still hoping for a loss this week. If I shape up…

Stepped on the scale and was pleasantly surprised I had lost the 3 lbs I gained at the fair and stress eating plus another half a pound extra. Feel so much better being back on track. This weekend we are landscaping our yard... cutting up the sod, regarding, hauling rock, raking, putting in a paver patio,, digging a French…

I think they all have pros and cons. I want to get one that monitors my sleep as well because I was having issues but have noticed that they are better as I lost a few lbs. I am debating between the Fitbit, and Misfit shine. I'm worried about the Fitbit fitting me on my wrist. I am at the top of the sizing (I have a big…

@maryann - I am so jealous of our fresh garden. I am hitting the farmers market this weekend to stock up. @ vages - I don't know if cool whip gives you issues, but I used to freeze cool whip between chocolate graham crackers and it was a really good frozen snack. A lot like a ice-cream sandwich but way less calories.

I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I was doing really well until I was on vacation for a week at the lake, then came home to 2 long weeks of craziness at work and then the state fair was last week so we had to go a couple of days. I paid for it on the scale this week with a 3 lb gain :grumble: Today has been…

We walk with our kids so that helps and normally I end up carrying one home because he is too tired to keep up lol. My weakness is stealing my kiddos candy. All that YUMMY candy!!!! We gave out those flavored water Capri suns last year and it was a hit. A lot less calories then juice and they go on sale cheap every once in…

I am horrible at drinking water. I really don't like the taste of it, but I love tea. I drink more of the black plain teas. Normally as ice tea, but I don't use sweaters. If I am drinking water I try to use something to flavor it, like lemon, lime, cucumber, ete. I need to get better so maybe if I try right way in the…
