I did WW more times and spent more money than I will admit and this is free and just about the same thing. I love the daily support and encouragement I did not feel like I was getting from the meetings. The people I am friends with (feel free to add me) are extremely supportive and I don't feel alone during the week on my…

I have trouble eating my calories most of the time as well on days that I don't exercise. The days I do are a nightmare because it typically adds between 500 to 1000 calories more to my already daily count. I just pick foods I enjoy eating and each a healthy portion, because as you know it is about portion control as well…

ok so I made it to the gym, did 18 on the elliptical, 20 minutes on the treadmill, and my circuit for the machines - burnt about 700 or so calories.

Of course it counts!! :) nice workout

So happy to hear your weekend went well. I fell off the wagon last weekend as was determined to do it this one. Mine was pretty good also. I went over board with the challah snacking but I believe my activity level of not sitting down cooking and chores probably helped out a bit. My weigh in isn't until tomorrow. I also…

Just wanted to welcome all the new comers who have shared their story since my last post and those who have not shared but decided to join anyway. In the few groups I have joined in my 20 days on MFP have seemed to fizzz...Well not this group! I want everyone to take a minute to shout out and express themselves and ask for…

Is everyone still hanging in there? I have so far so good made it through the weekend. I have already prepared the meatballs for dinner (one for the family and one for me). I am so excited to have come this far through the weekend and stayed on track. Looking forward to seeing the 'I did it!' or 'I made it' through the…

Hello and welcome to a free version of WW. I have been there done that (too much money to count) just to be the same size and loose and gain. I consider this the free version because you still have to weigh/measure some foods and track but in a different way. I find with the calorie focus I am not hungry and the 'points'…

Welcome! Your story is not uncommon - as a matter of fact sounds much like my own. Up and down like a yo-yo. Congrats with your education I just finished my Masters in Teacher Leadership in Novemeber and am now applying for fulltime employment as an elementary teacher. I am also married and have 2 children but I am not 25…

I eat tuna a lot for lunch also - what you can do to bulk a 3oz can with veggies (and I also use light mayo). I throw in a Flax Seed pita when I remember to purchase at the store but I know there are also so yummy low calorie breads too!
-
So glad to see I am not alone on this challenge. I fell apart for lunch stuffing 3 pieces of pizza in my face and 3 Tagalongs ... my own fault. I had a flimsy breakfast and did not pack a snack when out selling GS cookies today. I am not sure what I was thinking but at least I got a short walk in and I am still within a…

@dc729 AMAZING when you think one thing and something else is in front of you - this is my fear and one of the reasons we have yet to got to Disney - maybe next summer lol...
-
put a little olive oil in the bottom of a pan and heat - add onion, different peppers, and some mushrooms - add spinach. When almost done chop some chicken sausage and add - then when cooked stir in some feta just until it starts to melt and throw into a pita === One of my favorites!

I try to keep busy. My family hit a brick wall this month and are trying to pull things together. Life is hard and food is not the answer. Now saying this is different than living it. If I feel stressed I just grab some pretzels. You can have a nice handful with minimal calories and feel like you are indulging. I am being…
-
That is fantastic!! I shop at thrift stores and garage sales. I don't care. I am always up for a bargain - I also coupon as much as I can as well.
-
May be possible the workout you are doing is not for you. I have tried different things and my body conformed so quickly to the routine it just stopped working or what I thought should be working just didn't. Maybe you need to vary your workouts more? I am not a doctor just an overweight woman with tons of experiences. LOL
-
Feel free to add me - I need to lose about the same - actually I sent you a friend request!
-
You can do it!! You may fall off the wagon but you will get back on. We are here to help! Welcome.
-
Welcome everyone!! I was actually afraid this group may not take off. How wonderful to see individuals just like me who want to eat cupcakes and what not but most importantly want to make a life change not just diet to loose weight. For whatever reason you have joined - and for those of you who shared thanks - I know we…
-
I have the same worries and don not have the money either for a lift/tuck. I am hoping as I do this slowly my skin will come back enough so I don't sag too much. I am not looking for a bikini body. I have seen people whose skin looks fantastic after weight loss and others not so much - may just depend on your body.
-
I am on the journey to loose 100lbs also and love the humor in it all. Anyone can add me I will inspire, motivate, and crack a joke about eating cookies while watching The Biggest Loser (yeah I did that) LOL.
-
qtjones - nothing always goes as planned and that is "OK" be just do the best we can and keep going! Today I have remembered my vitamins - went to the gym and did a great 600+ calorie burn and actually redid my profile - I thought I was active but after realizing I need to move to be active (I like to read) I changed…
-
I made my goal today - I went to the gym and I did a great x-training on the treadmill incorporating a 2minute jog every 10 minutets. I have to miss Zumba tonight because my daughter has dance costume try ons...that's ok because tomorrow I hope it only takes about 30 minutes and I can sneak off to class. How was your day?
-
You can add me! I have just logged for my 15 day and would love some more supporters and provide>
-
Honestly - I feel so much better today being on track and getting all the gross out of my system. Does anyone else notice the difference in energy and just feeling lighter wheneating better? My goal today is hit the gym and increase my water as I fell short yesterday. What's your goal?
