If you are concerned about being disappointed by weight fluctuation, I would suggest choosing a day of the week and only weighing on that day. I don't know about you but my weight varies throughout the week, often going up almost 5 lbs... because of this I stopped weighing more than once a week. It didn't matter that my…

Just about every hotel in Vegas has a chapel. Most of them are pretty pricey but you can find some good deals if you do the work. You might start by talking to the hotel you are staying at. You could see if they provide a discount for guests of the hotel. My fried was married in Vegas earlier this year, I don't remember…

The second question worked fine for me... however, as I answered yes to the first questions I was not supposed to answer the third question however, it would not let me move on without answering, so I answered "Strongly Disagree" to each one :o)

I was going to start walking this week (I don't own a treadmill) and what does it do.... it SNOWS 1 1/2 feet!!!! Yesterday was nice and a lot of it melted off but it is supposed to snow again today and it is COLD today. Yuck!!!!! I am ready for spring already!!! Real spring, where it is warm and nice outside. The upside is…

Something else that you need to remember, on top of working out on their own while at home as well as continuing on their restricted calorie diet, they rode the distance of a marathon (26.2) miles. That will definitely help you to lose weight.

Subway isn't bad... depends on what you get/put on. You could also get salads at those places. I would keep the dressing at work and bring the food back. The supermarket should have stuff you could have as well.

Are you nibbling because you're hungry or because you are a nibbler? I tend to nibble whether I am hungry or not. If you are hungry then maybe you need to make sure you eat something healthy and filling before you start your shift. Another thing you could try is mouthwash. If you aren't really hungry, you could rinse you…

Ooookay... :o) I didn't do wonderful this week but... I still lost 1.2 lbs!! I have to wonder what I would have done if I'd worked out and eaten like I was supposed to!!??!!?? I did good on the day that I was worried about (my son's birthday party was Sunday) but wasn't great the rest of the week. I stayed under calories…

I don't know if they generally take that stuff into consideration, but I weigh myself as usual in the morning before I go to the Dr. then I tell them what my weight was. The nurse will write that down on my chart as well as the weight she gets. :o) And... I weight first thing Tuesday morning in my jammies (undies and a…

I didn't do great last week... not bad either but not great! :O) I'm ready to get rockin' this week! :O)

I would love to join this group.... I am a sort of sahm. :o) I work as a substitute teacher so, while I do work outside of my home, it is only as needed... some weeks are busier than others. My son's 2nd birthday is today. We had his party yesterday and it was wonderful! :o) I made diet cupcakes and had an ice cream sundae…

What an amazing friend! :o) You are so lucky to have someone who is so supportive and helpful! :o) That is a wonderful idea too... I go out to eat every Tuesday with my mom and a friend and something like that would come in so handy! I might have to put one together for myself! :o)

There are significant numbers of flavorings and such that you can add to water (crystal light, cucumbers, oranges, fresh mints, etc.). They change the flavor of the water without adding to the calories. I have also heard a lot of good things about adding the same things to sparkling water to get something similar to soda.…

My first day kicked my butt! I wasn't sure I would be able to continue it. However, I stuck with it and am now able to get through the whole workout. I have to modify some of the jumping stuff because of a knee condition but my endurance is up as is my ability to do pushups. The first day I could only to 2 -3, now I can…

Sorry it took so long to respond to this. I wanted to read through a bunch of the recipes to check first :o) It depends on how strict you are. There are several recipes that include no meat, only cheese. There is also a section of seafood (mostly fish, some shrimp) dishes. There are 2 full sections dedicated to meat…

Okay... I've been MIA for a while but I am going to try and get back here more often! :o) We started the family challenge with the WII on Monday. It was sooooo much fun!! My stepdaughter did pretty well but my husband had a really hard time with the obstacle course! ;o) I have no sympathy though, he had a full week to…

Today's weight 225.0 A loss of .8 lbs :o) I am totally okay with this after last week! :o)

I assume this is why he is your ex (or at least one of the reasons). I'm sorry that he was such an a** to you. At least you are working to change the tings that you see in yourself, to make yourself a better, stronger person. :o) He is obviously not working to change anything.

REALLY!!! That is so exciting! It definitely won't be as high this week but... WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o) Talk about a positive motivator! :O) Thanks CC!!

I'm still here. :o) Still trying to get the weight off so that I can feel comfortable about getting pregnant! :o)

I found this site that takes into account your body frame size as well. http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/ideal-body-weight-3146-143.html I hate those calculators and such that give you one number based on nothing more than your height. According to this site I should weigh between 146.6 - 160 lbs. I want to be…

I am totally in love with Edward, but after New Moon I feel myself rooting a bit for Jacob. :O) However, I have read all of the books so that makes it a bit easier to stay on Team Edward. :o)

Something you should remember as well. The first week you probably lost a lot of retained water weight. I did exactly that I lost about 3 lbs when I first started exercising (I was 235), then I joined this site at 232. I lost 1lb the next week, then I lost .4 lbs the week after that - might as well have been nothing. The…

Definitely don't get discouraged! My husband was watching me the other day when I was doing mine (Not usually something I am big on but I had to do it and he was there). He used to do a lot of lifting and stuff. After I finished it he told me that he was really impressed because that workout was no joke. He thought it was…
