I weigh every morning, but only "record" it once a week. The times I neglected weighing myself for a long period of time...are the times when I gained a lot of weight. I have to hold myself accountable daily...or I have a tendency to slip...

That's too cute! I really need to drag my wii stuff back out....

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No :grumble: Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No :grumble: What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Ate the triscuits instead of the ritz crackers :tongue: What would I have done differently? Ate a salad at the Mexican restaurant instead of a full entree!! :noway: What…

Hi! I feel your pain! I had got up to 250 lbs. last year and probably even higher...but I was so disgusted I had stopped weighing myself. Weight loss felt hopeless!! But, once my husband & I started dieting together last summer...I found it wasn't so bad! Slowly but surely the weight fell off...2 pounds one…

Welcome! Good luck on your goals...I've heard/seen great things about P90X...but haven't done it myself...maybe one day I'll find some motivation!

jamie_savage...you are about the same weight and have the same goals as me! If I ever see 199 again...I swear I will put a bikini on and do cartwheels around the neighborhood!!!

Welcome :-) Good ol' push ups are a great place to start...and dips (I can't remember the technical name for them off the top of my head...). Good luck on achieving your goals!

Well, one bright side is...the more overweight you are...the faster your initial weight loss will probably be. So start your journey and use that initial momentum to give you encouragement! You can do this!

Welcome aboard! Hope you find a lot of tools and friends here to help you along your journey :flowerforyou:

Awesome! Must feel great :-)

I think chelamg12 named about all the ones I was going to say! Only other one I can add is highlights or hairdo! I think highlights will be my next reward...Oh, I like to go get something I couldn't fit in before too...new jeans, shirt, etc. :-)

That's awesome! So disgusted I moved far away from my gym...used to make me feel so accomplished!

lol...sad but true...

I don't have any good homecooked recipes...but I do hit up Subway a lot! :bigsmile:

Friend request sent :smile:

Awesome!!! :wink:

100 calories bags of popcorn are my favorite :smile:

Awesome! I'm around a 16...so you are a great inspiration!

Ack! I hate shopping right now. I'm about 14/16 on the bottom and more like an 18/20 on top. So, I can buy pants in the misses...and sometimes XL tops in the misses...but, I really need plus size tops. Then, when I get plus size from Lane Bryant, Avenue or wherever...the bottom flares out...as if I have a size 20 waist too…

Welcome & good luck!

Haha...well, I am kind of short...and do have a few odd hairs on my feet :tongue:

Isn't that crazy?! We eat out a lot...and I'm always shocked at calories. I'm better off eating a burger at most places...rather than their salads or chicken sandwiches! But it's usually doable...I just have to check each restaurant before entering to see what I can order...thank goodness for smart phones...

I include all of it! Heck, if I could include time spent walking between the couch and refrigerator...I'd do that to... :laugh:

Awesome!!!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement all! I'm going to try and be more active on here (and in real life :ohwell: )...and maybe that'll hold me more accountable. I'm all about some motivation and accountability...feel free to send friend requests!

I'm a Luna Bar and/or banana fan myself...but not sure if that helps :indifferent:

Welcome friend! :drinker:

I don't find it easy at all. Well, it's the length of time it takes that isn't easy (at least for me). Day by day isn't so bad...but when you do it week after week and lose so little at a time...it can get very frustrating...ugh! But, when it's all said and done and you look back at it...it doesn't seem that bad.…

I'm joining...I need every bit of motivation I can get!

Welcome! I'm fairly new here too & don't get on the boards much...but I do log my food & exercise regularly! It's a great site that is helping me get back in gear after a long plateau...hope to see you around :smile:
