Hi! I love it on here. It has helped me lose almost 10 lbs so far, and have about 40 more to go. My picture is what I want to look like again when I reach my goal. I looked like that 2 yrs ago, and am determined to get there again! Add me if you want to. We can share this journey together.

Me too. Being on here has helped me a lot! Also, to slow down my eating I have learned to play games while I eat. FB has plenty of games that I play while eating. I take a bite and then play a minute long game. It really has helped. Now I can put my eating utensil down inbetween bites! What used to take literally 3 minutes…

JULY 11TH. Yes Yes Yes. Sorry I forgot to check in last night before going to bed. Thank you again for this challenge. It is helping me. I did not lose much weight this week but I know what I did wrong. I never went over my caloric intake, but days I exercised I ate some of the calories I burned from exercising. Now I know…

I just found out one thing that works for me is staying within my 1200 calorie/day range even when I exercise. Eating Weight Watcher breakfasts and suppers, and eating salads for lunch really help me to do this. I did this the first week. This second week that I just finished, I ate some of the calories that I burned off…

Can you exercise before you go to work? I do much better exercising in the mornings. It is real hard for me to exercise in the afternoon/evenings for the same reasons as you. I will have to deal with this next month when school starts back. I am going to have to make myself exercise in the afternoon/evenings. Not going to…

First, that was one of the greatest blessings to come on here and the first message I read is that y'all will be praying for me today. Thank you! I have a church family that prays for me, but no actual family,except my 7 yr old son when he thinks about it or I ask him to. However, when he prays God listens and answers so…

July 4th Did I stay under my Calories? Yes Tracked everything? Yes Exercised the required amount of time? Yes. This is my challenge area. Today I did not get to go to the gym because it was closed. I had planned to go to the lake and walk, run, and swim in the water, but I live in Panama City, Florida, and we are flooding…

I will student teach next month, and if all goes well graduate in December and start my first teaching job in January. My son and I do everything together. His dad is in the…

Wed July 3 Did I eat under my calorie goal? Yes Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes did the gym for 2 hours Did I write down everything I ate and drank? Yes

It can be hard to stay with it for long lengths of time. You have to remember what you are doing this for. It is a life change. If you only diet to lose the weight and then go back to old habits you will gain it all back. That is exactly what happened to me, so I am speaking from experience. Do not change what you have…

July 2nd: I made it to the gym today and did cardio for a total of 55 minutes. This is definately going to help me get the weight off as long as I continue to do this.

Have you talked to your children abou this problem? They may not even notice. I know my 7 yr old understands and is very helpful once I explain how I need to change or improve in an area. Ask them to help you with this problem. Kids love it when we include them in us attaining certain goals. Maybe it will help.

June 2 I met all my goals today also. Going to make this a habit :)

I have found since I have slowed down on how fast I eat, that a smaller portion does fill me up and lasts longer. I used to eat really fast, almost swallowing my food whole. Also, eating every 2 hours helps. I buy everything at the grocery store and take my snacks and whatever foods I need with me when I leave the house. I…

Did I consume under my calorie goal? yes Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes I got in 55 minutes of cardio at the gym today Did I write down everything I ate and drank? yes I hope everybody is doing well today! This challenge is really helping me to exercise every day which is one of my problem areas.

July 1st: I went and worked out at the gym today for a little over 2 hours. I did 45 minutes each on the elliptical and exercise bike, then 2 rounds on the weight machines. I felt good when I was done. I felt like I was really on the way to losing all this weight. I am excited to see the changes in the future!

John 1:1-5 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the…

I still have supper and then the peaches for dessert. I will be able to eat that and only that without…
