I lost quite a bit of weight two years ago with WW and now that I need to take it off again I am wanting to do things a little differently but I am having a hard time transitioning from pts to calories. I like the fact that pts are a smaller number and I can mentally figure what I might have left for the day/meal while…

Oh man, can I relate. After yesterday's fiasco with the slimquick pill and the fast food burger for supper last night I felt sick all day and swear I am never going to eat fast food hamb. and fries again. I still feel the grease hangin' in my tummy. The problem is that after a few days I start to crave the McDs burger and…

Why not do both?! I still talk to people on WW but I keep my records here. Are you going to the meetings or doing online. I "talked" to several who were doing online and then while losing the last few pounds went to the meetings to achieve lifetime. Nothing wrong with that. IMO it is about the weight loss and health…

I just finished watching tonite's biggest loser and they mentioned the website so I was curious and decided to take a look. Has anyone ever been a member or is a member? I, of course, think that this is the best website and we are the coolest people. I used to belong to Weight Watchers online and dropped because of the…

I agree. I have heard/read somewhere that sugar has the same affect on our brains as cocaine does. I don't know the validity of that but it sounds plausible. I think that I have finally had my "aha" moment. In my middle of the night post I was experiencing exactly what you are going through. I wish that we could bottle…

This is my husband too! He would like to lose weight but not change anything in his lifestyle to do it. If I talk to him about his weight he just shuts down. Awhile back I received the best advice on this site and I know that if I make changes in our lifestyle he would probably be on board. We eat out a lot and I know that…

I love books and will definately check that one out. I find most of my motivation from these books. I also have a recommendation: "Where did all the Fat Go" by Rob Huizenga MD, this is the doctor from biggest loser tv show. It is so right on and no gimmicks. di

It is the middle of the night and I am unable to sleep. I'm not sure if it is the food that I ate or that stupid diet pill I took earlier today. My poor tummy hurts but I hope that I can remember this feeling to help keep me on track. Anyone else ever have an experience like this? Di

I have to add my update. This afternoon was Hell!!! I took a slimquick pill before work and soon after got this nice little buzz. Not even a fun buzz! My heart was racing and I was talking non-stop. I felt jittery. After I calmed a little I called Walmart to see if I could take them back. Luckily I can and did. Now it is…

what helps to sleep? I also have insomnia.

I actually just got back from Walmart where I purchased "SlimQuick for women". I thought that it might help. I can't seem to get my appetite under control so I thought that I would try it. If you have tried it what was it like? I am really having a hard time starting to lose weight. I have done this before (several times…

I too, watch the biggest loser and in another post I mentioned the book "Where Did all the Fat Go" by the doctor who supervises on the show. I haven't finished the book yet but he talks a lot about what we don't see. The contestants are seriously screened for health problems to make sure that they can do the show. This…

I haven't been doing well for several days! I don't mind reading about cutting food/calories. In fact I bought this book called "Where did all the Fat go?" by the doctor who is on the biggest loser tv show. It is interesting but today, well, I ate, a lot. di

I couldn't read the rainbow poem, yet, but I hope that I can find it when I am ready. I have a 14yr old male black/white cat named Zippy. He isn't well right now and only sleeps and eats. I know the time will come soon. I also have Julius a crazy, fun loving, tabby that is 5. My son loves that cat and they continually have…

Boy do I understand this one well. Not only do I have hard time staying motivated I have come to resent the fact that I have to do something to be healthy (stupid, I know). I am being lazy and I know that. I will change because my health and my son depend on it. That has to be my motivation. We are all in this together.…

I am having a hard time getting my husband on board to lose weight. He knows that he needs to lose about 100lbs. but when I talk about getting healthy he says that he doesn't like the food that I eat on my diet. He wants meat and potatos rather than "rabbit food". I try to tell him it is more than just salads when eating…

I am use to recording points that it is hard getting use to calories again. I am finding it is a little difficult recording foods using my blackberry. Anyone else switching over from WW? Di

Hey me too! there are a few of us newbies. I feel already like we are family! di

Seriously just now! I guess this means I need to get very serious about getting fit and healthy. I have to be honest; I have known that I needed to lose weight but this is not my first time to "diet". Two years ago I lost with WW but it has since come back. Boo! I have been reluctant because I have had little support and…
