  • you're hurting yourself in the long run. the trap people fall into is not eating enough, body thinks its starving, you may lose weight but the second you start eating normally again your body puts the pounds back on. the people on here who've had the most success (meaning lost weight and kept it off) tend to stick with the…
  • geez, should i be appalled then that my fitness age is so high!?! i thought i was doing pretty good...
  • i only tried it once, so i don't know if it will ask me where i was:laugh: its a board that you stand on, and it has different games you play, also yoga poses. they are really hard to find, so i was surprised when he pulled it out! he said he was in target one day and they had one, so he bought it. i have no idea how long…
  • hmmm, don't know. good thing you keep checking the packages though. i eat the same cereal bars every morning and it never occurred to me to check that the nutritional info hasn't changed! time to look in my drawer...
  • my wonderful hubby gave it to me for our anniversary.:heart: i was only able to try it once, but i'm super excited to stick with it. the hula hoop game was really fun, and so was the jogging. i hate jogging, and yet following a little cartoon guy makes it more interesting :laugh: have other wii fit owners made progress on…
  • ewwww! i don't like oreos! the devil (for me) invented Charles Shaw wines at Trader Joes, aka 2 buck chuck. how many calories are in a bottle of wine???? its as cheap as soda!
  • i saw it and i still love mcdonald's. their fries are one of my salty cravings. i think the film makes a good point about the general trend of eating more, exercising less, giant potions, etc. but he gained weight from the amount of calories he ate! i've lost 25 pounds and i still eat fast food. its not realistic for me to…
  • wow, props on quitting smoking!! my dad has tried for years, and then gave up. that is a HUGE accomplishment! losing weight should be easy after that right?:laugh: you can do it! you have a proven track record of will power!
  • i'm to tx too! just for the weekend next month... for my cousin's wedding shower... i plan on not counting any calories!!!! don't worry, you'll do great! eating out all the time is tough, just don't eat everything on your plate! em:flowerforyou:
  • sounds like good news! there are so many weird things that can happen with feet, or at least it seems that way when you dance and hang out with other dancers! are your shoes the right size? do you ever where heels? do you have high/low/no arches? maybe try a podiatrist if it really bothers you... great news that its not…
  • i'm on wine detox this week... after drinking waaaay too much wine on my vacation. stopping wasn't that bad, i think my body wanted to stop too. you can do it! and props for setting realistic goals!!

  • shamelessly bumping to FD sees this!
  • hugs and more hugs... layered with a shimmy! we're here for you, so lean on us if you need to! em:heart:
  • sounds like you're doing fine! i strongly believe in eating what you want in moderation. depriving yourself or feeling guilty about what you eat is what gets most of us into trouble (bingeing, etc). stay realistic with your goals, you won't be perfect all the time! if you slip up just say 'i'll do better today'. i give…

  • amen sgt. an employer can't say to your husband 'there's no money'. its illegal. and yes, he should try to find another job. i work for an architect and there are a ton of engineers out there who do work remotely. he's not limited to where he is geographically. CAD files can be emailed just easily across the country as…
  • woo hoo! another convert!
  • happy champagney vibes coming your way ~~~~~~~~~~
  • have you thought of trying bellydancing? i can be a great cardio workout with no stress on the knees. proper dance posture always has the knees soft (slightly bent) and mostly flat footed. it really strengthens your thigh muscles, which i guess would help with knee problems. if you can try a class in your area, do it! if…
  • good for you! one of my coworkers brought in a boysenberry pie last week. i was tempted till i looked up the calories in one slice... approx 550!!!!! so i stuck with my apple.
