Doobiedo: Too low of calories will cause your body to hold on to all your calories. I would go ahead and eat the 1200 and I think you'll be surprised.

What I have learned this last week is that I can be well within my calories but if I don't eat the raw fruits and veggies I don't loose!! Well, I'm going to see if that's it. I need to make sure and have a salad for dinner - I'm hoping that will help. Yesterday I was within all my limits(fat, fiber, carbs, calories) and I…

Birdie: It is so hard when our children hurt. We hurt double - for them and for ourselves. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Esther

Good job Doobiedoo! Small steps lead to great success! Esther

Good morning ladies: I can't drink ICE COLD water. It's too cold so my water is usually room temperature or hot. Goes down easier for me. Rosemary: That’s a great workout. :flowerforyou: The jogging/walking WHILE pushing your little guy! Good Job! Kathy: It is sooooooo good to hear from you. You have been missed.:happy: I…

It's seems backwards to eat more to lose weight doesn't it? I know it works though. You are working out a LOT. Hope you see a great result. Esther

Oh my - that is a scary night. Hope she recovers quickly. Glad you were there for her. I have done my workout and still get those yellow spots. Maybe I'll get retested next week ... but, I know that I"m getting a workout and that's what counts. Have a great day, Esther

Yes, I think you're doing very well. WOW!

I used to always use a straw because I drink more water that way as well. However, I had noticed that I was getting deep lines on my lips and looked in the mirror while sucking on a straw!!! :noway: That's when I quit using a straw!!! I don't like those lines on my face :laugh: :laugh: Tomorrow is our Biggest Loser meeting…

I agree. I am having the same problem and my curves staff says I need to be retested. Especially since they have tightened some of the machines. I would ask someone at the club. You're still getting the workout but if you're like me - and it sounds like you are - you want those green dots when you're working hard :wink:…

Good morning ladies. Where are you? I am doing well with the "Biggest Loser" challenge. However, I won't know until thursday evening if I'm doing as well as others or not! Hope you're all doing well. Esther

Good evening everyone. For those of you who are wondering about the side effects of diet soda here are a couple of links and there are many more you could find by googling it. http://www.laleva.cc/food/dietcoke-pepsie.html http://www.dietdrinkaddiction.com/diet-coke-side-effects/ I gave up diet pepsi several years ago. I…

Barb: I'd love to see pictures of that house. That sounds so interesting. I don't have that much creativity! Rosemary. Wow only 9 pounds to your goal! That's great. Stick with it. I am off to workout. I have been doing well this weekend and feel better that I didn't fall to temptation of food that my body didn't need.…

That's great. That's what its all about. Small steps lead to success and it is a lifestyle change rather than dieting that works best. You're doing great. 15" is what shows!:wink: Esther

I am still alive and well:laugh: I have been busy and have read the posts but have not posted for a few days. Looks like a lot of you are totally on track - congratulations. And to those who are slipping, don't let that stop you from posting. This thread is a great source of encouragement. Fabulocity - GREAT JOB!…

Welcome. Glad you found us. This is an awesome thread filled with women who are where we are! We're here for you.

Welcome BAIcott: Glad you found us. Tonight I'm joining the "Biggest Loser" competition at our Curves. $10 to join for the competition and if you gain a pound you have to put $1 in for each pound gained!!!! Whoever loses the biggest percentage of weight and inches will win the pot! I'm gonna give it my all! Have a great…

heartrw: Welcome. Hope you visit often. It's a great thread. Goodnight everyone. Catch you all tomorrow.:yawn: Esther

BirdieM: What is hummus? I've heard it and read it in menus but have no idea what food group it is :blushing: Hope everyone is having a great day. Esther

Okay - I went back to curves and got weighed and measured for the "Biggest Loser" Challenge that starts this Thursday. I ate so bad this last weekend that I need to get focused! Hope you all are having a great day. Esther

Rosemary: Sounds like you're doing okay. The calorie intake and the calories burned are a good balance. :wink: In fact if you're eating your workout calories you're probably below the limit?!? You're doing great. Esther

That is something I don't know how to do ??? Download to the tv from the internet? I'm behind the times with the new technology:ohwell: Esther

WOW - I rented the DVD - 4 fast miles - and just finished. It IS A WORKOUT! I feel energized though. I'm going to soak in the tub and then get on with the day. I think it was Susan who suggested renting it first. Thanks Susan. I am considering buying it. Have a great day, Esther

Curves is closed today so I won't be going. Am getting ready to do a dvd exercise. Hope you all have a great Holdiay in whatever you do. Stay focused and Drink WATER:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Esther

Good morning ladies: This is the last day of the Oregon State Fair so this afternoon I'm going to go down and 'hang out' with my hubby on his last day of the Author's Table. IF you are interested I'll post a link to an interview that they did with the authors. My hubby is one of them - the one with the children's book that…

Deborah: Stay focused and you can do it! :love: (that's supposed to be you keeping your eyes focused:laugh: Anyway, someone said several days ago to look over the food available and just have those that are healthy and place them on your plate. Then be done - socialize with a glass of water in your hand! Good luck. Hope…

Those migranes can really drain you of your energy. Hopefully you were able to sleep it off last night. I feel your pain :cry: Take care. Esther

That's good planning. I had my clothes in the car but got called to the other side of town and then really had to talk myself into going back! I did though. Today I have another disorganzed day but I'm going to make it to Curves! Good choices at the restaurant. And yes, I do eat the whole platter of fries before I know it…

Well, after getting called away on my way to Curves ad then getting some errands done and other things getting in my way....I FINALLY made it toCurves a 400. What a dead time there at that time. I was the only one working out but I did it and I feel so much better. It isn't hanging over my head anymore!!! :smile: Have a…
