I too hate exercise. I love to swim but don't have a pool but go swimming every chance I get. I started forcing myself to walk and it is alone time (and talk time) for my daughter and I. It is cold outside but we go anyway. A trick I have been doing lately is walking around the grocery store 3 times at a brisk pace before…

I am a flexitarian and eat a lot of soy based products. For the most part they taste pretty good but then I tasted "soy hot dogs" as my kids really liked Morning Star snack corn dogs. OMG the hot dogs were so gross. Even with ketchup, mustard and relish - I couldn't stand the taste.

Where to start... I bought a Food Saver and it has helped so much. On Saturday I put a menu plan together for the following week. I take everyone's schedule into consideration so that I can add dinner out if need be. I go shopping if need be to get missing items. On Sunday I prep as much of the food as I can. I make rice,…

Yep, been there. Like one person said for me it is when I sneeze hard. I heard that there was medication for it. Have you talked with your doctor about it? Obviously your not the only one so I would use a pad and do what you want to do. Don't let it stop you!

I am not from the South but love my greens. Those recipes sound really good! I will have to give them a try.

Welcome! I was on WW as well and a friend told me about this site. Same thing but free. I see a few differences but for the most part it is the same. I just got an iphone so I like that I can enter my stuff on the go and it is updated on the web. I really didn't chat with people on WW but I am a lot more active on this…

Yep! That's the full list. I look back- and since I have been battling my weight since grade school that was a long look- I used ever excuse to eat. My family always used food to celebrate, to deal with loss, etc. I now eat much better than I have in a long time but the weight has gone no where. Yes, I know what you are…

I will try out some of these sites. Thanks!

I agree. I wear a shirt... Well back in the day when I went to the gym. I will be starting back up in September (just had to put that out there so I can be held accountable).

Gray here as well. Desperate for some sun (I did see a little this weekend though) Didn't get everything done as planned this weekend. So starting off the week behind already. But I will try to focus on the positive things and just do what I can do. How do you guys deal with getting the kids to support you in your new…

Great idea to make weekly goals... Today is Monday so I will set my goals for this week. * I will pull out the food scale and actually pay more attention to the weights of things * Try to add one more day of exercise to my week. * Add something positive to the week- flowers, call a friend, craft project * Date night with…

Chips and French Onion Dip and chips. Did I say chips.

Here is the recipe and the calorie count. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2002953

It is so easy and so good!! When I have a craving this is an easy way to satisfy it with very little calories.

That is awesome! What an inspirational story. You took it slow and steady and hopefully this is a life change! Congrats!

My favorite breakfast!

This may seem weird but it is great to here that it took awhile. You see commercials where all this weight is lost in just 10 months. I want that but know if that happens I will never keep it off. I want to take it slow and easy this time and make a life style change. I HATE the gym. As a family we are trying to walk more,…

I crave carbs more than sweets but I know it can be difficult. When I want something sweet I try to have weight watchers ice cream, 6 choc chips ( I pull out 6 from the bag and put the "bag away" then I slowly enjoy each little nibble and that usually satisfies me), or a almond/ginger cookie thin. There are lots of things…

For mac and cheese- add cauliflower. Here is a recipe. http://www.yumsugar.com/Michelle-Obama-Cauliflower-Mac-Cheese-Recipe-23243043 For potatoes I like to wedge potatoes and put them in a ziplock and pour in Low Cal Italian Dressing and pour onto a baking sheet. My kids love them this way. For bread I like Organic…

How do you track your miles?

Hi, I just followed you on Pinterest. Here is my link: http://pinterest.com/dreambiglivewel/a-new-way-of-eating/

Hi, I just joined a few minutes ago and can't wait to hook up with people for support. I tried Weight Watchers for a bit and this looks the same but free! I lost 25 lbs on weight watchers but then got plantar fasciitis and put it all back on. So here we go again. I turned 46 right after Christmas and I made the decision…
