Well I have a really busy day tomorrow so I may not be on very much. I just wanted to wish everyone luck tomorrow and I hope you all have a great day. Anyone have any good suggestions for a low cal breakfast that will keep me full. I have been eating 1 egg and 2 cups of sauted vegetables but it is getting old. Thanks, Stacy

Congrats on the great weight loss! Is that for one week? Please tell me your secret! I cant get anymore than 2 per week. I guess I just have t work harder huh!?:ohwell: Congrats again! Here's to another healthy day :drinker: ... off to get my push ups in! Stacy

My kids seem to do better when someone else (aka photographer) tells them to sit still. My kids dont get to watch tv that often so I usually try to bribe them with a show or a special snack if they cooperate. One photo that I have had work doing on my own is the one where the kids lay on the floor and you take the photo…

drevans_mom Thanks for the ideas. The first one sounds really good I will have to give it a try. Just one question does anyone know what garlic sauce is? Maybe it was a typo b/c in the directions it says garlic salt...

I was asked to bring chex mix to a holiday party and I figured if I could find a somewhat healthy idea it would be easier for me. Thanks for the encouragement. I started the hundred push up challenge today (i tested and i could do 20 pushups on my knees because I have sensitive wrists). I can still feel my arms shaking.…

Ok, I have been in and out on the thread but I havent really been involoved. I usually have time to read most of the posts but rarely have time to comment or post one for myself. I hope I can find someway to make this work out for me. I am going to Cancun in mid-March so I really need to get a move on here... My goal is to…

For your 100 push up challange is that daily or weekly? Eating No Halloween candy this week is harder than I thought it would be... I love chocolate and there is so much around. I have been trying to drink a glass of water if I feel like stealing a piece but it doesnt help. Will Power!!!!!!!!!!!! I am slowly learning how…

I am totally in on the NO HALLOWEEN CANDY challenge. I feel like telling my husband to take it all to work with him and let someone else eat it (but that wouldnt really be fair to his co-worker trying to lose weight). I am all for the weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly weighin if everyone else is. Maybe if I have to actually…

Hi everyone! Ive been in contact with 3babybeans last week and she invited me to come and chat with you guys. To start off I will tell you I have a 1, 2, & 3 years old boys so they keep me pretty busy. I usually am only on the computer for a few minutes at a time or by chance they all cooperate at nap time. I have a…

The more attention you give it the worse it will get. I think it is a phase all kids go through to see how much you will let them get away with. The problem with letting it go in the beginning is that now she thinks it is ok. If it is to the point it is being disrespectful I would give her a warning and if she contiunes…

I am only able to work out MWF and I do 60 minutes cardio and 30 minutes weights. I dont eat anything prior to my workout and I feel fine... so I cant help you there. My question is why are you doing three days on weights and only 2 days cardio? If you are looking to lose weight cardio is the way to go (along with with…

I could so see myself doing the same thing. I didnt realize it was so many calories... thanks to you I may think twice the next movie visit. Today is a new day!!!!! :bigsmile:

Thanks Guys...and Gals!

I feel like i just cant stop eating this afternoon. Nothing I eat seems to satisfy me. I would love to get out of this house but my kids are napping. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I have been doing so well the last few days now I feel like I am losing control. Any ideas to help me keep my mind off food and to stop mindlessly…

I just looked into a group twenty pound somethings under message boards general discussion. They are losing 20 lbs in 13 weeks. It seems like something that will be working for me if you are interested i am sure you can meet alot of people and learn some things along the way. Good luck you are on a great start! STacy

I am new here and this sound like a great opportunity to meet new people and lose weight. So when is the goal date? Is there a certain place we post our meals (for everyone to see) or does someone just start a post daily (and we add to it)? I am starting at 170 today so my goal will still be 150 by ??? Today for breakfast…

I am totally in the same boat. I do great with my exercising but food is the killer for me. Like you I am looking to lose 30 lbs. The only thing I have found helpful is chewing gum. I have tried having fresh veggies available all the time but that only seemed to work for about 1 month then I became tired of eating them all…

No Sugar Added Fudgsicle only 40 calories

Thanks for everyones input!

I use the eliptical at my gym. I do one of the preset programs and I but 650 cal in 35 minutes. Granted I work my butt off for it. Just thought youd be interested. Good Luck!

I am having a problem snacking. :explode: :explode: Shortly after I eat I feel like I need something else. I dont know if this is just habit or if it is what I am eating. I have heard some foods make you fuller longer and others digest more quickly than some. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You! :bigsmile: Stacy

I think most of us has had a revalation like that...maybe not as dramatic though. I look at my old pictures and think wow!!!! But like you said we walked so much more then. I played softball so It was almost a constant in my life. Now we just have to find other ways to take us back to our "old self". Good Luck! Sorry For…

BUMP!

Sounds like fun, Im in! Today: 168 Goal: 140 Good Luck this week! :bigsmile: Stacy

I am new here.... how do you view the "700 cals a day and still not losing"? I searched under the message board and no luck. Thanks!

Congratulations! Glad you are sticking around. I too have recently learned I can run on the treadmill instead of just walking. I am up to running for 20 minutes now...when I started I could only run maybe 1 minute. It does get easier you just have to push yourself. It may hurt at first but you feel great afterwards. Keep…

I am with you! I lost 10 on another site then stopped and gained it all back. I need to make this a life change...not just to lose weight. Good luck!

Good luck! I dont really care for stationary bikes...they dont seem to do anything for me. Until recently I didnt like running on a tredmill but now I am up to 20 minutes and it makes me feel accomplished afterwards. Keep it up!

Good Luck. Stick with it too. I started another site for 2 months and saw results and thought hey i can do this without the site. No luck there! Now i am back and it is just what I need to stay motivated. You can do it! :flowerforyou: Stacy

Congratuations for taking the first step. I just started on this site about a week ago. I am loving it. It is important to not look at this as going on a diet....but instead changing your life. What you will learn is you can lose weight for now but it you dont stick to eating healthy you will gain it all back. I am ready…
