  • I posted my weight, but it was on the old link....no wonder I couldn't find it today!!! I'm at 166.4, which I'm not too happy about. So, at this point, I'd be thrilled if I was the same weight I was at the beginning of summer....161.8. Not sure I want to do the next challenge, as I HATE Monday weigh in's. I feel the…

  • After posting my .2 gain, I weighed in this morning back to my 164.8, so I'm either the same for last week, or already down for next week! Getting it in gear! GO BLUE TEAM!!!!!!! We can do it!

Didn't help that my husband was home all last week finishing his vacation, so lots more drinking together and snacking! So, I'm down a little, but not much. At least it's…
  • Gooooooo Team BLUE! I'm back and ready to roll! Yes, I was on a nice long vacation (gained a couple pounds....sorry team), but now I'm back and ready to get back on track! My name is Sonja by the way. Starting Weight: was 161.something when I left for vacation, but now is 164.4 Goal Weight: 150 by the end of this…
  • Since we're all getting to know each other, I'll share too! I'm happily married 20 years this September, mother of two teenagers (so far it's good), and like my profile said, I somehow morphed into this middle aged person that could stand to lose some weight. Actually, who needs to lose some weight! lol I never weighed…
  • I'm a slow loser too.....so let's not be on the same team! haha! I'll be sure to post my final weight on the other one. Then I'll have to post on the 11th, then again on the 14th to get back on track, so if I miss a week, please know I'm here, I just can't post that week.
  • 3/17: 166.8 (actual 3/20/11 weight) 3/24: 165.6 3/31: 165.6 (went up a little...thanks to spring break, then back down. How funny it's the exact same as last week!) 4/7: 165.2 (If I hadn't gone up a little, I would have thought my scale was broke! I have to get it together & MOVE!) 4/14: 165.0 (not thrilled...I was 164.2…
  • Take a deep breath. Seriously, you're almost to your half way mark. That's an accomplishment! You're not going to lose all this weight at once, it took a long time to put it all on, so be patient and try not to stress over the specifics. Generalize if that helps. What have you learned? Portions? Good vs. bad choices?…
  • Sometimes you just have to have that one little chocolate taste. Not the whole candy bar, not the more than a spoonful of frosting, but one little taste. Sometimes, when I give in to a craving, I realize it wasn't as great as I thought it would be and that helps me the next time I have a craving to make a better choice.…
  • This is what I do too...and on occasion (a good card night or celebration), I just enjoy. I figure you gotta live, but make choices and compromises that allow for success in weight loss. Nobody likes a skinny crabby girl! lol

  • Beautifully said, I have to agree.
  • I like to eat something every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I've been advised in the past by a nutritionist that grazing is better than eating huge meals when you're really hungry. I eat breakfast at 6:30 or so, a banana at 8:30ish, lunch (work schedule) at 10:30, usually a low fat cheese stick and mini cucumber at 1:30ish, something…
  • My biggest shocker was when a co-worker brought in Dunkin' Donut donut holes. I had one, enjoyed it, and had maybe two more. Imagine my shock when I went to log it on MFP to see that it was 70 calories for just one! so 210 or 280 calories for a few donut holes? That was almost more than my breakfast and coffee!!! I was…
  • Ditto!!
  • Okay, so maybe I'm not the "ideal" weight loss advisor here, since I have something sweet each day, or a "beverage or two", however, I do still continue to lose weight oh so steadily, yet enjoy life. It's a cookie. ONE cookie isn't going to hurt your progress, which for the record, needs to be slow and steady. If you ate…

  • Not sure which brands you're talking about, but my children like Yoplait light yogurt and I'm looking at the label now. It says, 100 calories, Total Fat 0, sugars 14g, protein 5g. I eat Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt. The blueberry flavor has 90 calories, Total Fat 0, Sugars 11, protein 10g. The Greek yogurt has the same tart…

  • I find that when I snack more, I don't feel hungry and I get to have the pleasure of eating. An average day for me consists of three meals and about 4 snacks. I snack on things like Laughing Cow Garlic & herb cheese wedge (35 calories) with one celery stick. Nice flavor, lots of "chew". A low-fat mozzerella cheese stick…
  • I just LOVE those! I have one each day with a stick of celery...the crunch and flavor together is a great combination!! Morning snack: banana (105 calories) Early afternoon snack: Laughing cow wedge with celery (35 plus the celery) Late afternoon snack: low-fat cheese stick and a mini cucumber (the cucumber gets rid of the…
  • That's exactly how I felt one day at work when it was treat day. How bad can a donut hole be (or two or three)? When I went to log it in, turns out it was 70 calories....EACH! Yikes! I was so mad at myself! They seem so small, so harmless, how can a few be 210 calories??? I didn't gain 5 pounds for eating it, and moving…

  • Hard boil your eggs, mix with a little mayo (yes, you can have a little), and put it on a slice of toast (plain). Eat with a fork, as one slice of bread isn't going to hold two eggs. That should bring you just under 400 calories if you use a little mayo (90 calories per egg, around 100 calories for a slice of bread, and a…
