All good ideas. I can't go anywhere, I'm home with the kids, but I can do some squats, crunches and pushups. :smile:

I have to keep telling myself it only feels better short term, then once that wears off I end up feeling bad for loosing control as well as for whatever it was that bothered me the first place. :( I can tell you though, I do feel truly addicted and it sucks. Thanks for "getting it". It feels better to feel understood.

Beautiful and true.

HI Just added myself to this group.... Is there a challenge for tomorrow? :)

FInd something you love to do. Try something different. It sounds like you perfer to be outside. Maybe you could buy a used bike and bike to work or try and squeeze in time for a workout after work... like tennis or hiking. Personally, I love exercise classes like Spin and Power, have you tried any classes? Find a friend…

Thanks for the advice everyone! I will try the Fennel tea for sure.

Hi Ellen- I am right were you are! I've successfully lost weight here before and have slowly gained it all back. Here I am back up to the 190's and I need to start taking serious action! Let's do this together!

WOW! Way to go!

Oh my short term goal is to get in the 170's by the end of the month.

HI! I really started doing this Aug 08 and did really well. I started at 197 ish in Aug and got down to 162 by Jan 09 , now here I am a little over a year later at 184 (I am 5 4 1/2 )! EKKKKK! It's been over the past 6 months. I need to get motivated to do this again. I need some company! Ok SInce I just saw this post I…

This site is the best! Enjoy the ride! :smile:

Ok- I was addicted to deit pepsi. here's what I did. I only allowed myself tohave it as a treat when we went out to eat- which is like 2X during the week-usually lunch and on the weekends. I don't crave it any,ore. I enjoy having it but I have created the new habbit of drinking the water instead. AHHHHHH thinkof all the…

Throw them AWAY! OMG what is that man trying to do to you. Empty cals- you'll regret later. But hey you've lost 116 so you know the drill! Tell him nicely that you like compliments on your new body more than donuts!

Well you look amzing so it must be working... do you do additional workouts while doing the DVDS?

HI Guys- Just starting this. How did everyone do.. what were your results? I am on Day 3!

If you went for a run you probably burned additional cals. I would say eat a banana to help your stomach feel better and so your not starving at midnight.....

One snack that seems to be a crowd favorite is popcorn. I pop it in some olive oil with a little sea salt. Healthy, lots of fiber and the kids think they are getting a treat. Another thing that is a big hit are smoothies- I freeze my peeled bannanas and put them in zip locs along with frozen berries, mix with mil and add…

That's wonderful! Congrats!

OMG- I always get the thai lettuce wraps and think these can't be too high in cals. WOW. I guess I won't be going to CF and time soon.

Good advice... I need to just get rid of my vices.... unfortunately my hubby ( who is also in great shape) wants it in the house... aagghhh. I guess I will let him buy the stuff for himself and maybe he'll be to lazy to go to the store and buy them....

welcome!

Friend!

I call it a junk food hang over....

That Jay Leno story is so cute!

What a great idea! Kudos to you.

YES. I am "hungrier" when I don't exercise. For me it's because excerise allows me to burn off any stress, anxiety, pressure I may be feeling. When I don't exercise I want to eat to relieve the stress/anxiety. I didn't even realize I was doing this until I stepped back and asked myself,"Why do I want to eat right now? Why…

I'm in... I've been kinda lazy about logging in cals lately- I need a challenge. I'll weigh myself tomorrow, didn't have the heart to do it today. Thanks for the motivation!

Awesome! WTG!

Welcome!~This is a great place to change your eating habbits for life! Good luck! You'll do great!
