Oh yes - bumping this post. It sounds awesome !!!!

I drink them for breakfast. Never been much of a breakfast person - find it hard to choke down food early in the morning. Used to grab a coffee and a muffin on my way to work and eat it at my desk in the mornings. I found it extremely hard to break the morning coffee routine - so what I do is buy french vanilla flavoured…

I just LOVE your post !!! If you are as honest with your self as you have been in this post you will do wonders. Oh - and by the by - welcome to Canada eh !!!!

Addicted is the word I would use to both food and smoking. Personally - I picked a weight - and told myself that when I hit that goal then I would quit smoking too. The idea being that I woudl have my eating under control by that weight, so I would be at a point mentally to tackle the other too. Def had to get my eating…

I just gotta say - there was a day not all that long ago for me that I would have been all "I gotta get me one of them" Just to say I did it. Oh yeah - not anymore - but isn't anyone even curious? Even just to buy one and try it and then throw it out if you didn't like it. Oh yeah - there was definitly days in my past that…

Low impact is tough. Myself - even walking is too much impact on my knee. I love my Wii - but that little bitty board a scant few inches off the ground is enough to blow my knee out too. In saying that - I can ride a bike though. I dunno - bending and moving it doesn't seem to be a problem - it is all in the foot hitting…

Well I am no expert on this - I only know that I do not eat a lot of salt - very little in fact - and yet my rings don't fit in this heat and humidity. So if my fingers are bigger, would it not make sense that other body parts are bigger too? I dunno, but this humidity is killer !!!!.

Hey Chris. I'm Canadian and I know we count our numbers differently for the blood usgar thing, so I don't know just how good or bad your numbers were there. I can tell you that my doctor likes to see my numbers between 4 and 6. When I started hitting over the 7 mark he put me on metphormin. Took that for about 8 years -…

Oh it really does sound delicious. I'll have to try this - and I woudl use the coll whip too.

I'm with McBeth here. I think you did great. You're still going to have dinner out with the hubby occasionally, and pizza parties to attend with the little one - life happens. Sounds like you made good choices. Are you never ever going to have cheesecake in your life again? SOunds like a pretty dull life to me. so you got…

Perfectly edible. I use it to bake my fish all the time.
-
Oh I hope it works that way for me. I lost the first 30 with little effort at all. Fought like hell for the next 20 - and then dead stop. Nothing for 2 months now. I keep plugging away though - hoping once I get over this plateau that it will start happeneing again. I've nver stop eating better - my choices amaze me…

As soon as I can't wear them anymore they go to charlity. I saved nothing except one pair of jeans - just so I can put them on when I reach my goal and get the "holy crap" factor. I buy new things off e-bay kijiji, yard sales and thrift shops, because all of them are going to end up going to charity too.
-
LOL - I noticed a difference in the bras before I noticed a change in any other of my clothes. I too was busting or bulging out of the largest bras i could find without going into specialty bras - which I could just not afford. Some people say they never loose them - or that that is the last place they lose weight from.…
-
Good luck in the gym !!!! I so want to join a gym but just can't afford it. I do have the Wii fit though and I just love it. I figured out how to set it to tell me when I have reached a goal of 240 calories a day - and I consider that my minimum. takes about an hour to burn that much depending on what you play - but I have…
-
I did that about 2 weeks ago. Was upset at the scale for not moving for about 2 months. Strange where the head goes when you get frustraed !!!! Myself, I was so disgusted with myself after working so hard to lose weight that I woke up the next day and found new resolve in it. It happened - I know why it happened - and did…
-
Oh - I can't wait to see the answers to this one !!!! I have always been a pretty solid fat person - but now that I have lost some weight - and 2 inches off my upper arm - these batwings have appeared that are freaking me out !!!! I saw them one day in the mirror - now that it is summer and the short sleeves come out. I…
-
I took the liberty of checking out your profiel pictures - and oh my !!! You have done a fantastic job at this weight loss thing. I am amazed when I see these pictures and others that the new thinner person look younger than they do when they started. Just fabulous. And he should be sorry. I hope it haunted him for years…
-
This is fabulous !!! I love reading stuff like this. You are doing great and have given me motivation. Keep up the good work and with the attitude and assistance you have - you will reach your goals. Keep posting and share some of that great attitude. I need to read it to keep me on track..

Oh boy do I know what you are talking about. I have thyroid issues so have to go to the doctors to get the prescription refilled. Last year he wanted to put me on his scale and I refused. That is what started all this for me. I was on sugar meds, cholesterol meds, and some other med for the "fatty intrusion" into my…
-
Wow!!! That sounds amazing. And woudl fill a big hole for a light cool summer desert when yupi are craving one. I like it !!! Def gonna try this one - and soon !!!
-
I'm forcing myselt to watch it. I think I NEED to watch it. But I have been crying since the get go. Watching these people want it so bad - and what they go through to get what they want - it scares me. What if I don't have that kind of dtermination in me? Will I be destined to be fat for the rest of my life. I know it's a…

Hmmmm. Tough subject. I - personally - think you are both right. The trick is finding a balance between the two. I did a lot of research ebfore finding MFP. I live in a small town where WW is available - but nothing else is. I think your friend has adopted some of the Overeaters Anonymous philosofies. Food is like alcohol…
-
My "big" change isn't portions. I never considered myself an overeater - it was just the choices I made when I did eat. I'm 48 and live alone - so I was still eating like a college kid. Kraft dinner and frozen pizaza. I just came home from grocery shopping and was marveling at my cupboards. Where as before my food took up…
-
Oh I can't wait to see the replies to this one. I have been wondering the same thing.
-
You go Ben !!!! We all need to make time to stop and smell the roses as they say. It will do wonders for your outlook on all things - from all things including weightloss and fitness - to the sounds of the birds and your loved ones. Have a wonderful day and many more to follow.

Well, I have never in my life been a small breaseted woman, but I have lost more inches in my breast than I have anywhere else - and I hate it too. My breasts have always been part of who I am - and I liked it. I always joked that they entered the room a full minute before I did. I've gone from popping out of a triple D to…
-
I feel your pain. I live across the ditch from you in Fort Erie. I have to shop every 3 days or so in order to keep fresh fruit and veggies in the house. I'm o.k. with the prepackaged veggies for the most part - but not the fruit. Nothing like a fresh strawberry compared to the frozen ones. The only fruit I have had any…
-
I feel your pain. I've lost 50 pounds and had not bought a thing. I'm too cheap to spend the money for something I don't intend on staying in for long. But I am going to a wedding this weekend and just on a whim went into a store to see if they had anything reasonable that I coudl wear. I walked out of there with an outfit…

I've had the same questions about calorie burning using the Wii. The website posted previously was very interesting. Feeling better about the calories it says it burned. I had my doubts. I use Wii Fit Plus and Dance Dance.
