Thanks all! I know I am not retaining, because I still peeing every hour! :) I am sleeping well. I went to bed at 10pm and was asleep by 1030, and slept until 7am. The night before I was in bed by 9 and slept until 7. My job is stressful and exhausting (plus we don't have air so its bloody hot). I am going to try and bring…

I have upped my calories for the break to maintain my weight for the next couple weeks! I think it will give my body a break, and then I can relax and enjoy the holidays. If I gain a couple lbs I know when I go back to 1400 a day it will come off. I just need to be able to relax and not count! I have 8-10lbs until I hit my…

First: Congrats you look AMAZING! Second: Take a break. I hit a plateau a while ago. I upped my calories for a week (still ate healthy), but gave my body a rest. The next week I went back down and I broke the 182 plateau. Sometimes we have to trick our body. You have been working hard, and I know it sucks (muscle also…

When I first started I lost 10lbs in 2.5 weeks! It has slowed down since. It's from shocking your body and water weight! It will slow down! If you think its continuing to go fast, start eating more calories!

10 almonds, lots of protein and will keep you fuller longer. You are right you need to hit the 1200 goal. As a snacking treat I usually have nutella and strawberries. It's about a 150 calorie snack, but it is very yummy! :)

THANK YOU for making me smile today! I needed it!!!! And no whining about periods allowed! :)

Congrats on making the decision! Feel free to add me as a friend. I don't have as much weight to lose, but I was the same weight for almost 3 months this summer and I was still staying under calories. I took a break for a couple weeks and then went back at it, and its working again!!! Remember to drink lots of water and…

I am not gluten intolerant and it worked for me. My doctor was hoping it would help my IBS, which it did, but it also helped me loose the weight. By eliminating gluten, I got rid of most carbs as well (still ate potatoes and rice), so it was likely a combo of both!

I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks (14 days), first 5 lbs was water weight the 2nd was by completely taking Gluten out of my diet. I did not do it on purpose, my doctor told me I needed to stop eating gluten (to see if it would solve another medical issue). It is HARD trust me. It means NO WHEAT! Which means NO dressing for your…

I will join! I am 5'7 and have lost 25lbs so far, but have another 25-30 left. I have been stuck at 188/187 for 3 weeks. I took last week off (still counted but was over most days), went up to 189, but back down to 188. I try and work out 2 times a week (but its been hard this summer, working like crazy). Anyone got any…

After reading your diary, you are eating to few calories. Up your intake of calories to 1300 and you should be fine. If you are eating to few calories, your body goes into starvation mode! Remember drink lots of water!!!!

I was the same weight for 3 weeks and got really frustrated. SO I took a week off. I still counted, but wasn't staying under my goal. Most days I was over. And I maintained my weight. Then I went back at it hard and lost 2lbs in 2 weeks! Sometimes you have to give your body a break! Or try something different. Work out in…

Thanks everyone! Keep the ideas coming! I seem to be losing all of my weight on the top half (Stomach, face and lower arms). Now I want to focus on the bottom half! :)

My first 10lbs I dropped almost a full size (was a very loose 16), but my 2nd 10lbs I have went from a 14 to a tight 10.

Other's have said it already, but the weight watchers scale from walmart is great. There are 2. The one I have just does the weight in lbs or KG. You can also get one that measures your fat and muscle %.

I am 190lbs right now and fit into a size 12 or 14 depending on the brand`(I actually just bought a pair of size 10 jean shorts yesterday, they are tight, but I know within 5lbs they will be good). I am 5`8 and I carry my weight well! You will be FINE. My guess is that at 150, you should be in 10 or less! Don`t listen to…

Water or a small glass of milk! Milk does have the calories, but if the water doesn't work, it is a way to give your tummy some calories and not hugely affect your count!

Thanks everyone! I am glad I am not the only one! I am not going to give up until I feel comfortable in my own skin again. I actually set my boyfriend up on here yesterday, so with him doing the same thing as me I think it might be a bit easier (even though he can eat 500 more calories then me a day!!!)....

This sounds strange, but it has worked for me. After several weeks of shopping I know the prices of all the stuff I want. I get the correct amount of cash out of the bank machine, and leave my cards at home! If I only have enough to buy the good stuff, then I can't add anything else! It has not only helped my weight loss…

You could eat some of it, so you don't offend. Just have smaller portions. If I know I am going to eat something bad, I will have a hard work out. For example on Friday I went out for sushi, so I did some exercise on my wii before we left! But see if there is any veggies in the fridge, and make a sandwich. Tonight I made 3…

I know you said that you were having a bad week (which we all have), try and ALWAYS eat breakfast. Even if its a apple or something small. It will jump start your metabolism. Plus try and spread out your calories through out the day! You are drinking lots of water, that is good! :)

You can do it! Remember when I told you about being stuck at 197 for over a month. Now I am down to 193 in the last 2 weeks, and I didn't change anything. Sometimes our bodies want to hold on to the fat.. Don't worry you can do it!!!!!!:smile:

Thanks everyone! I am a supply teacher, so some days I work, and some days I don't. SO when I am at home it is easier to make a easy healthy lunch, but when I am working its not. But all your ideas are great! I live in Canada, and most stores don't offer gluten free products yet. I have found some gluten free sour cream,…

What is pf? Thanks for the suggestions!

I didn't say that I was in until now. But here are my hours up to this point. Feb 1- 30 minutes of Wii fit free step, and 15 minute wii fit free run, 10 minutes wii Rhythm boxing Feb 2- 1 hour wii fit free step, 10 minutes wii Rhythm boxing Feb 5- 30 minutes of wii fit free step, 15 minutes of wii Rhythm boxing total-> 2…

You are doing amazing! Keep going! Remember you have a little girl to think of. You want to be as healthy as possible for yourself, so that you can be around to see every milestone in her life. Everyone comes to a point in their life, where their motivation changes. Keep your end goal in mind! You can do it, and there are…

I believe that if you don't allow yourself the things that you like, then you will you reach your goal weight, you will likely gain all the weight back! 5 years ago I lost 30lbs while working out with a trainer for 6 months, and eating really good for those 6 months. I didn't drink, eat bad, and the weight came off easily.…

I tried on my jeans that I haven't worn in 2 years! I can get them on and do them up! Still a little tight to wear in public, but I am happy that I can get them on!!! WOO HOO :)
