TwentyTen

Oh I know what you mean there. I took a break from alcohol once while in my 20's, and I could never ever go back. Seein as I spent a couple decades bartending, I had a gazillion opportunities, and even tried to many times. Just never could drink again. It was like having an instant hangover. I feel sicky now from even the…

Wow Lisa! You are not foolin around. Your enthusiasm is infectious too. I think you ARE the energizer bunny! I am sittin here digesting dinner about to do my Wii Fit Plus routine. I am tired, work went long, again, don't really want to do anything.. but I will. I had a half a pound gain last week, and that will be enough…

@ Lisa. - Hey no , I wish! My ticker says 39 more to go, not gone. I have lost 10 so far, so I am just getting started. One day that ticker will say zero! @Paula - Welcome to MFP!! I too came here after my recovery from surgery. This site, combined with my WIi has been wonderful and helping me ease back into exercse and…

Good to see ya missmelfina. It is hard to say no, isn't it? Just... say... nooooooo. :noway: I gained half a pound this week. Have to wonder if it's actually to do with having some coffee last week. Or the stress. Who knows, but I am going to behave this week!

Hi Lisa! Firstly congrats on losing 27lbs, that a huge accomplishment!! Any form of exercise is good. The only exercise that works, is the one you will do! The Wii helped me to shed my first ten, and I am hoping my next ten too. Glad you can join us! :flowerforyou:

I can relate. My life too, has become what seems like impossibly hectic. The last couple weeks I have started slacking on exercise and diet because I simply run out of steam. I did notice tho' that the week is far more overwhelming and difficult to stay on track if I do not get organized on the weekend. So Sunday I…

I often wake in the middle of the night and have often gone for a bowl of cereal. It does help me get back to sleep, but I am sure those carbs aren't good at that hour. I am now reaching for some protein instead. I find a slice of low fat cheese is usually enough to keep my tummy busy enough to go back to bed. And…

Definitely in for another 5 this month. Starting the month at 169.3 Up about half a pound from last week, eeek. Looks like everyone is off to a great start!!

Even the dogs! haha That is great. :laugh: Probably the best health benefit to be gained was the laughing, Good for body and soul. And thats why I should really look into that rabbids game, for the laughs!

I really do not understand the need for artificial sweeteners and I cannot stand the taste of any of them. Raw sugar and honey for me, and maple syrup. Now that I have cut down on the sugar, I find a little goes a long way, and the calories are nearly negligible.

Oh I will have to try that. TY

I absolutely love them. Often have one with salsa for lunch. Does seem to hold me over rather well until dinner. YUM. Never thought of using it as a substitute for mayo. They don't keep very long at all unfortunately. Would love to hear if anyone has any tips on keeping them fresh once cut open.

Wow. ha. I just looked that up and it looks like a kick!! Not sure it's the best workout game but definitely something I would probably like. Looks hilarious! Thanks raven! Would love to hear from anyone more about this cwazy rabbid game. can I work up a sweat playing it? Oh hey, there is Ann. Great to see you! Good to…

Wonderful!! Thats a great accomplishment, truly. You are sure to get all the way there. congrats! :flowerforyou:

That would be hard to say. Depends completely on what your doing for starters, along with how long , and your weight and such all comes into play. The Wii Fit plus will give you a count of calories burned , which is very estimated. I have gotten a heart rate monitor to get a more accurate idea of how many calories I am…

Thanks hooah. Welcome to the team , and hymescs too!! Had alot of hot tea tonight, and now ready for , hopefully, a full nights sleep for a change. Hey it sounds like you are sure doing great with the exercise considering your ankle issues. Great job. Zumba sounds like a blast, and what you are doing is obviously working.…

I have heard some mixed reviews about the Just Dance, alot of people seem to like it though. I am sure if you just keep at it, in no time 20 minutes will be a breeze. Walk It Out is pretty popular too, many people loving that one. I have not heard much about Sports Resort.. ...gosh so many now, makes it hard to choose.…

Ok, well, first day of the month I fell 10 minutes short of the full hour which is my goal. I just finished a ten hour work shift, and.. I just.. couldn't. ( Now someone should yell at me and tell me that is BS, I surely could have pushed out another ten minutes!) I suppose I will have to make it up over the weekend. I…

Hard not to notice .. It seems to me that those who are eating the most often, are also losing the most weight. Duly noted!!

Welcome onekiss. As far as how to log your Wii time in the diary I can't really say. It is a common question! Seems people choose different methods and maybe others can weigh in on how they do that. Since I am lazy and just want to see the total calorie count , I just log it under circuit training. Wow Cathy, you aren't…

Hey jashen , glad you can join us. After I got an HRM, I found that I was burning at least 200 more calories than the Wii was telling me. I really don't know what is the best way to add it to the diary either. I just go with circuit training and enter in my time and calories burned. Congrats on the 5 lbs in one month,…

hey hey everybody - Looks like March is behind us. Everyone has done really great about sticking to their goals and shedding some poundage, Way to go! Welcome newcomers, it is great to see how this team has grown! Since JAM has to focus on her daughter these next months, I have started the April thread for us all here:…

Bumping into my topics to see if there are any HRM results on this one.

Raw almonds for me.I especially love them sliced up. Never met a nut I didn't like though.

Yay. The scale was good to me today. I am sooo relieved. It had been sticking still for a couple weeks. So I started this challenge at 174, and now 168.9 Just about exactly 5 pounds, and a few days left to keep it there. Phew! Its my first solid 10 so it's a good day today. Thanks everyone for the support , and for this…

I always take that statement with a grain of sodium. :laugh:

What an inspiration you are!! Wow!! Something tells me you are going to shine. Best of luck!! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on getting the game! I needed to start slow myself and the Wii Fit Plus was perfect for that. Best start is just to play what looks fun to you. Nothing there is too intense at all until you start going into advanced levels. So have no fear, just dig and play!!

I use my notes to note what the number was in " If every day was like today ..". I also like to note just something quick that I may have noticed about the day, if it was particularly stressful, if I was sick, or any events that maybe threw off my pattern. Notes about anything I see I need to work on, be it more water, or…

Glad you could join us Gina. :flowerforyou: You will find alot of inspiration, support , and advice here. Good tools, and alot of amazing people. Wish you luck on reaching your goals!
