Congrats form me too!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Thanks guys, it feels good to know that yall get that way sometimes too. Ynot, girl I know how you feel!!!!! I have never had to diet my whole life, granted I played sports more than I studied..lol. I dont want to be what I was in high school but I would just love to be in that healthy block on the bmi calculater. My child…

Okay I posting this because nobody else understands like you guys do. I just saw a picture of my self from this past New Years and I literally am swelling up with tears. I have never actually cried over my weight before but I have hit a point where I am so digusted with myself for not doing something about it for so long.…

Wow..tons of good advice. I can honestly say I just learned alot. THANKS GUYS!!!:happy:

Hey Herb..keep your spirits up. My father is a diabetic and because he has managed his weight he has been able to stay on a pill a day for about 2 years now. Just a word of anything is possible!!!!

Congrats Lady!!!!! I am almost there to my first 10 point marker from my original weight before I started on this sight. I can't weight to have the same feeling of accomplishment!!!!:drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Good job on the workout Vicki. Happy anniversary!!!!:flowerforyou:

I completely understand the feeling. What sucks for me though is I dont get to work out until 8 at night after my son goes to bed. But usually about 10 minutes after my workout I am starving. And someone told me that you should not go to bed right after a workout because you build up lactic acid in your muscles. Not sure…

HAHAHAHAHA...Thanks for the good laugh first thing inthe morning!!!:laugh: :flowerforyou:

Yea I was wandering the same thing. I just had my birthday and could not even have a drink because I was too scared to ruin my diet.:sad:

Yea I was kinda on the same page as you...but the more I thought about it I probably should not use those extra points. For one I get exercise points everyday that I work out, however I am still having a problem including those too. Not to mention the point scale is calculated from fat, calories, and fiber so long story…

One more question.....I have always had a very bad back, can I do my crunch variations on a ball. Thats what I have been using and I seem to get the same burning sensation minus the lower back pain I was getting on the floor.

I dont have a tape measure so I am going to have get back to posting my measurements.

Is it too late to join in???? If not I am so there!!!! My baby belly need HELP!!!!:sad: So I do this work out M-F....only 5 days a week, right?

[/quote] what is hummus [/quote] Hummus is purely a dip made out of chickpeas. Check out this website. There is a bunch of recipes for making different varieties of hummus. http://mideastfood.about.com/od/middleeasternfood101/a/hummus101.htm

You should check out foodnetwork.com. They have a healthy tab that has tons of good foods. I'm not sure if it lists the nutritionals but you could probably get that off each ingredient's package. Just a thought!:happy:

okay..cheat meal..im listening!!!!! I dont understand the concept. If you eat more calories then you dont lose weight , right? I am on weight wathcers and it says you get an extra 35 points a week. BUt I dont use them because I am on a strict schedule of losing 2 pounds per weeek. Is that what the extra points are…

Great Job...keep up the good work!!!!! I finally did my first workout video and it kicked my butt!!!! You dont realize how outof shape you are until you try to keep up with the fit. But I did it!!!! MY goal is to be GOOD at this video bt the end of next week...I CAN DO ITTTT:laugh:

Nice to see members joining everyday. I just joined yesterday myself. Well good luck on your journey. I have found alot of good support on this website..hope it works for you too!!:flowerforyou:

Im new here so I might be saying the same information over but for anyone that is doing weight watchers, here is a fantastic website. I dont even have to think about what I am going to eat where ever that luncheon may be. It lays out for you a ton of resturants and there point values for most of the items they offer. It…

ditto...along with every other lose weight website I can find:laugh: :laugh:

Thanks...I got you. Obviously I did that already when I signed up...I guess there goes my moment for the day:laugh: Well I am glad you joined too. The way I see it every little bit of "GOOD" support is more helpful tools to our reach our goals. Good luck to you:flowerforyou:

Thats a really good idea. I should put all the money I spent eating out everyday, sometimes twice a day. Then maybe at the end of the month I can really feel like I have accomplished something...SAVING!!!

Thanks....I am reading the posts and I am trying to find this BMR??? What is that???

Well I am officially trying my very first diet...and I am clueless!!! I am hoping you guys can help me through this so I am successful. I had my first child 19 months ago and I weigh as much as I did when I had him. I was always an active child so weight was never an issue. Well due to child birth and a job where I sit on…
