No need to stop baking just start looking for recipe's that fit into your daily life and bake smaller batches so if this happens again it won't be such an impact on you.

Thanks guys great ideas, I really appreciate it. Do you think swimming will cause me problems?

Wow not even a no.

Girl you look amazing, I am so proud of you!!

Love this idea!!

I love the great Ideas, minus the one and you know who you are!! I did great for awhile and felt much better when I was eating better so I know it works it is just getting past that point again! Thanks all I appreciate the help and the willingness to help me bad habits and all LOL.:blushing:

You guys may be allowed to have dogs but you probably have a clause in the lease about quiet hours, I would talk to them you might be suprised as to what they can do.

I am a binge eater, I was diagnosed years ago in high school. I know this is probably something you don't want to hear, but you will never get rid of it. You are on the right track though, you do need to see a Dr. so they can give you the tools to control it. I was put on antidepressents for awhile but they made me to…

Just to let you know that swimming is my main form of excercise and I have lost 40 lbs, I also do not eat back all of my calories from it. It is one heck of a workout and I can definately feel the muscles have been worked. I have some killer leg muscles from it. Like others have said the swimmers I have met have are very…

You also have to remember that some people have been so sedintary in their life that some of those excercises are out of the ordinary, since I don't know their lifestyle I don't comment negatively towards them. If it is going to cause an issue in their weight loss it will show up, but if they usually sit around doing…

I will pray for continued strength for you to continue your help during the aftermath, and for all those affected by these storms wether directly or indirectly. <3

I live in Florida also and have been to many of the amusement parks and have not taken the chance to ride any of the coasters because I am afraid of the embarrasment also. I am a coaster fanatic and that is part of my motivation. I have always used my son not wanting to go on because he is scared as an excuse, I have…

Ditto and I live in Florida, amusement park central!!!

I don't get rid of it, It will always be there for me. I just am teaching myself to think about what I can have that is healthy rather than the junk I used to think about.

I absolutely love Veggie chips and Veggie straws, I get them at wal-mart and the are 110 calories for 38 of them!!!! I usually eat those with a sandwich.

Stay with it!! I am in the same situation and have lost 26lbs, the smaller portions get easier as your stomach shrinks and I survive on cucumbers and heads of lettuce sometimes to help me feel full because they tend to be cheaper. I only buy some of the stuff if it is on discount or on sale. I swear it is possible, I am a…

Yea it is always the same thing wether it is here or somewhere else, some one always has to tell you that you are doing the wrong thing!!! I am so tired of others being judged by someone who thinks they are better than someone else. Get over it and let us live our lives, our lives is for us to live!!! Like I tell my kids…

I agree with Ellie, if I eat them all back I don't lose weight and If I dont eat any I don't feel well. I stick to about 1/2 or 1/3 depending on what my body tells me.

I swim for an hour everyday and unless I am really booking it I always log it under the lowest one because I don't want the chance of overcalculating calories.

I go to Tijuana Flats but always check the website before I go and can easily stay within calories, you just have to watch out what you pick :).

We are programmed to think that the way we are is soooo bad and it is not to be talked about, admiting it makes you see through other peoples eyes and it is not always a pretty picture in our heads. You were able to admit it and that is a huge step in the process of changing your life. I have tried to lose weight many for…

I totally see the difference, I am about the same weight as you were so I look forward to looking as good as you!! Awesome !!!

Things like that are better encouragement than a loss on the scale!!!!

I totally love swimming and do it everyday since it has gotten hotter in Fl. I do laps in small sets so that it doesn't seem to monotonous (sp). It gives a great burn and does not seem to bother my knees and back as much as the other excercises I so sometimes. Some days I have to force myself to get out of the pool LOL!!

Yay I can't wait till I go down a size, I am so happy for you!!

LMAO What a great thing to be annoyed about!!

Everybody has their advice for those losing weight or those that they think need to lose weight, these people are usually lacking something in their life when they are so set on letting you know what you need to do. Who cares, I just look at them and say "you know what? I am all good" !!! Don't let their advice get to you,…

Yep we are in Florida too, thats why my daughters choices are better than some other schools might be.

We luck out because the district requires all main dishes here to be around 200 cal, yea it adds up to about 600 but i guess it is better than 900. My 12 yr old daughter is overweight and I blame myself so she has recently started counting calories also and the school choices are hard for her at times but I must admit she…

Thanks for all the support i appreciate it tons!!
