:smile: Thank you... It just felt so discouraging... I've been working my butt off for the 9 lbs... right now I'd be happy just getting into the 140's rather than being 140

My husband has lost 30 of his 60 pound goal... I have lost 9 of my 25 pound goal.... His weight loss is much more noticeable so, when we run into people we haven't seen in a while, they are all over him about how great he looks (he DOES look great :love: ) Anyhow, last night we're at our son's Lacrosse game, it happened -…

Here is a link for those of us that have to sit in an office all day... there are ten - 5 minute workout episodes. Great ideas - including using the excercise ball for a chair :smile: http://officeworkout.msn.com/default.aspx?section=home&contentType=video&contentId=2&GT1=25043

Home made (extra spicy) turkey chili with wheat berries (no kidney beans) - topped with FF cottage cheese instead of sour cream & cheddar....

I just want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the past year. Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel. I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels. I can't sit down on…

I had some extra calories last night, so I treated myself to a bowl of ice cream :love: It has been quite a while, and I was wondering... what kind of an effect on your diet does this kind of indulgence have? (just in case I wanted to have this kind of treat more often, like weekly)

RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE!!!!!

Chantix... after smoking for 20 years. I quit 3 months ago, only needed it for a month & 1/2 - you may have to bump out your quit date because you need to start taking it before you actually quit. Our health insurance covered it - so it only cost me our co-pay :smile:

Bump for mickiedawn

It looks like you are in the same boat as I am... age & maybe weight wise... There was a post under food & nutrition - "Are you eating 1200 calorie a day?" I'll do a bump to get it to the top. Hope it helps...

He was trying to make conversation, fine... but what a ****!!! "JERK" - had to find a new word, this program didn't like my first one :tongue:

I gave in to temptation this morning - couldn't make it 3 days :embarassed: (tomorrow's another day)

Thank you... I'll have to look for one of those cellulite minimizing moisturizers :tongue:

Now that I've lost a few pounds - I look much better in my jeans, but take them off :noway: I'm not sure if it's cellulite or what, but when I had the extra weight there, at least my buns were smooth. Does anybody have any remedies?

Raw celery - your body burns more calories digesting it than it actually contains... that's about all I know on the subject :tongue:

You have got to be kidding me!!!! I've had alot of lower back problems & actually went to my doctor because of the numbness... x-rays, bloodtests - he referred me to a neurologist because he couldn't figure it out- appointment next week - guess I'll cancel it :ohwell:

PMS... the older I get the more often it seems to erupt :explode: Hopefully menopause will take over & I won't get my period anymore - I certainly don't need it for anything :wink: Any whoo.. thanks for the advice!

Sssweeet... :flowerforyou:

Thank you! My knees have been higher than my hips. Now my knees are a little straightened out? Is that right, or do I need to invest in the 75 in ball?

Well... alrighty then... :ohwell:

I hate that!! Sometimes I have no choice but to workout later in the evening... I must say I do stay motivated to get my laundry done & extra house cleaning done :huh:

Most mornings, I eat peanut butter & jelly on toasted pumpernickle with a glass of milk. I don't have time to prepare oatmeal or cut up fruit, etc. I also buy a whole grain rye bread from Trader Joes - it is definately "whole" grain. It's cut about 1/4 inch thick & 100 cals per slice. I will toast 1 slice & eat with peanut…

Thank you... I'll give it a try. I'm on your scale challenge, so that pressure won't be there, we'll see what happens in May :smile:

Day 2 for me :wink:

:laugh:

:laugh: I'm curious too...

Banks - I'm asking for a little advice, you seem to know what's going on around here :smile: I started out at 165 -- want to be 140-145. Over the last week I've added 200 calories/day (2 cups of milk) to my diet. I'm now eating around 1400 calories. I do count/eat my excercise calories. Currently, my numbers are: 156 lbs,…

MY NEW NAME IS IN THE SUBJECT.....DON'T LAUGH UNTIL YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOUR NEW NAME IS. We all need a little stress-reliever! This only takes a minute. Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day. If we are honest, we have a lot more stressful days than not. Here is your…

I got mine @ Target - $26 (Reebok) - For all sizes, they were around that price.

I'm 5'6" so I got the 65 inch ball. It feels a little too low for my legs (even though it looks high enough next to my chair). I'll give it a couple days & see. I think I may bring this one home & get the 75 inch for work.
