:noway: couldn't do it. said already received desired number of requests

I understand when you do the cardio that you have to get your heart rate up and keep it up. But I have found that what I do makes me feel good. I used to walk at 2.5 but now have bumped it up to 3.0 for 2 miles. After the first lap I stop and go and do 25 verticle thrusts. Then after 2 laps I will again do another 25…

:flowerforyou: welcome and gl!

Sorry to hear about the no gym. Try the high school maybe they leave their gym open on the weekends for the athletes.

Old habits are hard to break. What really helped me decide if I really wanted that double cheeseburger at McD's was downloading the nutricitonal chart. I couldn't get one at the restaurant, so I just went to the website. I went to all the local fast food websites and down loading the chart and was shocked and amazed. Now…

WTG! :bigsmile:

I had such a rough weekend this weekend. My son is in Iraq and with a new grandbaby in the house there are a lot of times that I don't know if I am coming or going. In fact, this weekend, I didn't do anything. I didn't care and just blew my whole diet. I got up this Monday morning feeling the same way. And you know what? I…

WTG!! And before you know it, those 2 will become 3 or maybe even 4. It happened to me and I know it will happen for you! Keep up the great work!

Hubby is not big on pot pies, but I am going to give it a try! Thanks!

:cry: I know how you feel. We recently had our first grandchild. I don't think I really look that bad in person, even tho I am 115 pounds over weight. But when I saw that pic with the baby. OMG!!! :embarassed: :frown: So like you I started my first day on March 11 and have already lost 9 pounds. So just focus on the future…

This is not good news!!! Hubby wants a WII so bad! He wanted one for xmas and they were sold out. I was in wally world a couple of weeks ago and they didn't have any. I can't find one anywhere!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

My son's football team went to state and they used the money to put on astro turf, so no pitfalls there. We live in a small town, and coming from Texas, everything centers are football so the field is always open. Plus, I plan on adding walking the bleachers to this routine.

I got to thinking about this. I have not read all the replies as of yet so I don't know if anyone has suggested this. But forget the park, try the local school football field. The lines are already drawn and most people (from a distance) will think you are just an athlete working out.

Hello, It appears that we are all feeling the same emotions and struggles. That is why I have come to love this site (I started March 11, 2008). I have gotten some really good advice and help. The worst advice I have gotten is cheat day. Had mine yesterday and gained 6 of the 8 pounds I lost. But I am going to attribute it…

I drink a can of slimfast 190 calories but it fills me up til lunchtime.

:blushing: Stupid question.... so if I take out my beaters and whip the frosting that lowers the calories??? I have never heard of that before. I know that you also can buy whipped frosting, but stick to the cheaper brands. :blushing:

Cheat day?? Never thought of having one of those. But really I have been having one at least once a week!! Now I am going to put it on my calendar to remind myself that it is never wrong to splurge, just do it with a little common sense. :drinker:

Such wonderful breakfasts you all had. I got three hours sleep last night. Arrived one hour early at work because I had to drop hubby off at his work and all I had was 2 cups of lemonade. :cry:

From adversity we gain strength. Don't let the little things bother you, remember that there are other people in the world that are experiencing the same things you are so VENT VENT VENT. Believe it or not, you are buring calories. They may be little but jump up and down and throw that fit. I do! and I feel somewhat better…

Don't give up and don't let it bother you. I weight myself this morning and got one amount. Used the facilities and lost 4/10ths of a pound. Went back 5 min later and gained 2 pounds. I am attributing it to shifting of the body while being active. Rember that it is not the little things in life that should bring us down.…

Welcome to the group!! Good luck with your new experience in life WEIGHT LOSS!!

Welcome to the group! I am new myself so I know the challenge you face. Watch out for those snacks. Look for the low cal / low fat ones, they really help me!

Give yourself a huge pat on the back for quitting smoking!! That is such a wonderful thing. I bet the air smells so much better. I have begged my hubby for 9 years to quit. He tries and will go a couple of days but something stressful happens and he picks right back up. He has tried again and does one a day, but honestly I…

Thanks everyone!! What a great response!!:smooched:

I like some of the ideas that have been replied. I know what you are feeling. My husband says that he likes me just the way that I am and not to worry about any of it. But geez! I am sick of it and tell him so. But there is no motivation. He is skinny, the kids are skinny, and poor mom just can't get going. I have trouble…

I have been logging my intake for 2 weeks now and have met my goal of two pounds per week. I am 38 years old and have a 4 month old grandson. I want to be here for him and future grandchildren since my son plans on getting married after his year tour in Iraq. I have been overweight most of my life AND JUST PLAIN SICK OF…

:sad: I feel your pain! Whereas I am just starting this plan, I feel guilty when I have that candy bar or regular soda. I had a cookie the other day and went into depression because I knew it would ruin me. But thankfully whereas I didn't gain any weight, I didn't lose any either. I don't think it would hurt you if you…

:happy: You can always donate them to the adult center lunch program.

:explode: I know the feeling and can feel your pain. I have a secretarial job. Only 4 hours a day. But I swear I spend more time in the bathroom than I do at my desk!! It is so frustrating at times. But as tiangelah says, drinking more and not eatting heavy foods will do it. I find that I drink more water at work than…
