The best advice I can give you is to try finding more filling foods. I make a chili that is really good, has 151 calories and about 5 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving. It is very filling and very tasty. Let me know if you would like the recipe. Also, I like to use the Special K2O protein water things. They taste really…

Okay... it was hard to get up and work out today. I did it, but I really didn't enjoy it. Ugh.

Karlaw - that sounds like so much fun!! I would love to see the Olympics in person some time! :o)

We're going to Joe's Crabshack for dinner. :o) I got online, checked out the menu, figured out the nutrition info, and know what I am going to have. :o) WOO HOO. I like going in prepared. My husband is awesome and doesn't bring in all the chocolate and candy for V-Day since I'm trying to lose weight. He gives me flowers…

I would love to join this group. Any of you can feel free to add me as a friend :o) I have found that I do much better when trying to lose weight if I feel that I have someone to be accountable to. Please feel free to call me on it if I am not posting and doing what I need to do to lose this weight! I have 80 lbs to lose.

I would snack on some zero to low calorie stuff and get in a good bit of exercise so that the splurge doesn't affect you as much. However, one good splurge meal should ruin your efforts. As long as you get back to it the next day. :o)

I did 20 minutes free run tonight. I'll be getting back on in about 15/20 minutes to try and get the other 30 minutes in for my 60 minutes today. We'll see how I feel... it was a pretty hectic day, lots of running around that had to get done. Everything got accomplished though. I'm not going to be too worried about it if I…

Wonderful! I am so excited!!! :o) I know I said that already but!!!!! So, I weighed myself and came in at 233 for my start weight. :o)

That's awesome Peter. Thank you for the info. :o) I definitely like being able to customize workouts!! I will probably be getting it today or tomorrow! :o) I'll have to look into the calorie burning from the WII too. I want to be accurate in what I'm recording. :O)

I would love to join in on this group! I have not weighed in yet today. I will be doing so in about 20 minutes so I will post my starting weight then. Just to make sure I am understanding, we weigh in on Tuesday with last weeks weight and this weeks weight. There is also a weekly challenge, this weeks is to drink 8 cups of…

Jam - I have used them in the past. I should probably get them out for this. I have dislocated my patellas 15 times since high school, ugh. Then with the weight gain it makes it REALLY hard to do any knee focused exercises. I will have to pull out my braces and try using them though, that might help. :o) Thanks! So, tired…

TwentyTen - I am very excited to get started! I know 60min/6days is ambitious :O) I am a substitute teacher and don't have much work right now, so I am pretty much a stay at home mom. That gives me a lot of time during the day that I can work out. My son is 22 mos and loves to "work out" with me. He has a carpet remnant…

I just found this group and I am so excited to join up! :o) I got my WII Fit Plus a few weeks ago and I love it! I haven't worked out on it for the last two days though. I need to get back at it starting tomorrow. My goal for February is to work out for 60 minutes 6 days a week. I really like the yoga and the strength…

I would love to join this group. I have found that I need to work in a small group in order to maintain my motivation. I have joined a few other, larger groups but I would like to hang out here as well. So my goal is to get down to 155 lbs from my current 232. I want to be able to get down and play with my 2 year old as he…
