I just bought a scale tonight.

Don't focus on the scale, only get on it about once a week... the scale will drive you mad if you get on everyday. Focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit better (looser). (Remember, your monthly water weight gain.. so don't even bother with the scale that week.) Some weeks you'll feel like you're doing great, other…

I agree.. I know it's hard if others always want junk food (my mom)... but this is your health and your life. Oh and one mistake or a little cheat every so often is NOT bad, it's normal, don't beat yourself up, just take a walk to burn off some of the calories. Always, passing temptations is a road to failure, just eat a…

Congrats!! I haven't been under 200 since right after my 1st son was born (he's almost 20)

OMGosh too funny!!!

Gave me a good laugh... so it was worth a peek

I have sciatica and Dr's are checking on fibromyalgia... I understand your chronic pain and I am truly sorry. Since a gym is out, have you tried the local YWCA or Rec. Center, in my town the Rec. is $35/year... you could Google Free Yoga/Pilates videos online... Discovery Health &Fit has yoga every morning, before they…

My aunt had it.. she looks great... and my older sister is having it in January, talking to our aunt helped her make her decision... if you can't find anyone here to talk to about it, ask your Doctor, there may be a support group for those who have had it and are considering it.:flowerforyou:

Dallas area:flowerforyou:

I watched that one today lol... the Stroke thing freaked me out a lil bit.. but I already know my risks sooo... And for anyone who doesn't like cranberries.. Craisins are great, I chop them up and add them to muffins or put in oatmeal cookies instead of raisins:flowerforyou:

Welcome, both of you... this is a wonderful site. To add someone, simply click on their name... it will take you to their home page, then click "add as friend" :flowerforyou:

Do you watch them make it?? Or at least ask?? I would... and talk to their manager, ask him/her to see the packaging for these products... my local fast food places HATE to see me coming... I ask for nutritional info, things on the side, no added salt, etc, etc... they don't like it, but if they want a sale, they do it...…

1. DO NO weigh yourself everyday... it will drive you nuts, weight fluctuates from day to day 2. Weigh once a week and put the scale AWAY (I do on monday mornings, before breakfast) 3. Log your correct weight... all you're doing is hurting yourself psychologically, because if it wasn't, you wouldn't have posted this, in…

:flowerforyou: I don't... I get so sick, when it's this hot... I can't keep food down... Our 100's broke today and a lil rain, so yea I can eat... My Doc was ready to hospitalize me... BTW, I ramble a lot lol

Before you beat yourself up... take time to rest and let yourself recover. When you do the Shred... don't try to keep up, go at YOUR pace, not the DVD's... you're less likely to hurt yourself and stress yourself out. After your body becomes accustomed to the new routines... then step it up a notch or two. You're on the…

I just picked a #... discussed it with my boyfriend and he said that was too skinny lol... I don't care about BMI or what I'm "supposed to be" for my height... it's about, what is going to make me happy. I chose a higher # to please my BF... but if I'm not happy when I get there, I'll just keep going... this is about what…

I would have to vote for CRICKKS... she is awesome:flowerforyou:

You just need to forgive yourself for being bad and eat health foods... starvation only hurts you and your progress. Make that your cheat day for the week or the month and remember how it made you feel so you won't do it again lol :flowerforyou:

I started doing this years ago... it's great for picky eaters or when everyone wants the end pieces lol... I use my muffin pan for many things... hmmm maybe I should actually make muffins sometime lol

hemochromotosis.... runs in my family, my sister has it and to watch her iron intake... I have not heard of the drug you mentioned, but I strongly suggest that you talk to your doctor, a registered nurse or even a trusted pharmacist. Your health condition is serious and these questions are best suited fro professionals.

I'm trying to figure this one out myself... I am way off where I should be by now... I feel like I'm starving ALL the time anymore, even when I'm not hungry or haven't exercised... ugh exercise, I need to get back on routine, but am soooo down right now. I think I just need a slap in face and a kick in the butt lol I know…

For the Stevia plant I also checked Lowes and Home Depot online... it is on Lowe's site... sooo guess where I'm going tomorrow

Welcome... just remember, it's not going to be easy... you're going to want to give up a dozen times (esp. when you see ppl eating things you LOVE and you know its a NO NO) reading labels and counting calories becomes addictive after a while, and you'll drive ppl crazy with "OMG!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN…

I'm making fettuccini with roasted grape tomatoes and spinach (I wanted roasted zucchini and squash in it too, but they looked kinda yuckie at the store and if it doesn't look good, don't buy it)

It's ok.. sodium is high and it seems lke it's missing something... same with the fire grilled wings (which are NOT as spicy as they claim) You can alway try just one piece and see if you like it... or you can have a breast or wing of your fave fried chicken, either way you have to work off the calories, so you may as well…

It happens... at least you're not giving... just start over try to keep on track When you get pi**ed and want to vent or hubs isn't being as supportive as you like... come here... we know what you're going through

I'm in June 7: 227.2 June 14: June 21: June 28: July 5: July 12: July 19: July 26: August 2: August 9: August 16: August 23: August 30: September 6: Goal- 210

BUMP

You're not doing this so can get away from the kids for a while... you're doing this for your health so you CAN spend time with them... doing all the things you couldn't do before. Don't let her get you down... you know what you've done and what you've accomplished and what your goals are.
