What are you eating for breakfast? What time do you eat lunch? It sounds to me like if you eat at about 7 and don't eat lunch until around 12 then eating your snack at 10 is about right. :o)

I just wanted to say that I have noticed that some people seemed to have trouble logging their food this week. I was wondering if, for those of you who cannot get to the computer frequently to log everything in, do you write down what you are eating and the calories on paper or something? I'm just asking because this is…

What an adorable little boy!!! :o) You are very lucky to have such a sweetheart of a son! :O)

Maybe you could suggest that, instead of cookies, candy, etc. they provide fresh fruit/veggies or other healthier options. You could try talking to the other people in the office and see it they would be interested in that sort of option. :o) I am a substitute teacher at the moment (trying to get a full time position). :o)…

I think that a change in styles could be very good. I would ask your current trainer if she will be filling the new trainer in on some of the things that she know about you so that you don't feel like you are starting from scratch. I can see how that would be pretty discouraging. I know that I would want to basics to…

Yep, definitely normal. :o) I usually go up quite a bit during that time of month. Don't stress... Drink lots of water!!!! :o)

I am SOOOOOO Excited!!!! :o) So, I weighed in for another group I am on yesterday and had lost 2.8 lbs (I forgot to weigh in the morning so that was my evening weight). I usually weigh in the mornings so I figured I should check my weight this morning to get a more accurate reading..... I am down to 225.8 which is.... 4.8…

We're starting our family competition in 1 week... I am giving my husband and stepdaughter 1 week to practice on the games so that I don't have a huge advantage! :o) I am soooo excited to start!

I forgot to post this morning!! OYE!! :O) My weight was..... 227.8 WOO HOO!!!! :o) That means that I am down 2.8 lbs since last week!!! :o) I am soooooo happy about this!! :o)

Bumping :o)

I think that accountability is vitally important to weight loss. I have been trying off and on for 10+ years to lose weight and I honestly believe that the biggest reason I have not been successful is that I have had no accountability other than to myself. Self accountability is important, you have to learn how to tell…

Here is the update on the competition for my family! :o) I talked to my husband and stepdaughter about what sort of prize would motivate them. They both wanted something different. :o) Of course!! ;O) So what we decided on was, for our first competition, we will each be working for a different prize. The winner will…

I made Tilapia for dinner tonight and baked it with a super easy sauce stuff. It was actually really good :o) It is really, really easy. 1 sm can of diced tomatoes (any kind - fire roasted, no salt, etc. as long as it is low cal) 1 sm can of sliced olives 3 Tbsp of minced onion 2 cloves of garlic, minced Mix everything…

Not a bad idea... hmmmmmmmmmmmm, It's cheap too!! They many wonders of duct tape :o) LOL Thanks :O) :laugh: :bigsmile: :tongue: :laugh:

Thanks :o) The worst thing we can do to her is take away her access to her boyfriend. She only uses the cell phone to talk to him and her mom and doesn't really have much of a social life (other that at school, which we can't take away :o) ). So, in grounding her she loses access to her boyfriend. She doesn't get to go…

Okay.... weigh in!!!! 230.6 Only .4 lbs this week. I attribute that to having a couple of bad days at the end of this week. Yesterday was extremely stressful and I wasn't able to get my workout it. Ugh! I will just have to work harder this week! :o)

So to answer some of the questions - the district here has an online thing where we can go and check her attendance and grades whenever we want. Her chemistry teacher is one of those that doesn't enter grades in other than twice per semester (at 6 weeks, then again for finals). The school also calls when she is marked…

OMG!!! I totally just realized that I put my start weight as 130.6. That is SOOOOOO not right :o) I can't believe I did that. I am so sorry!!! I guess it was wishful thinking or something! My actual start weight is 230.6 Sorry for the confusion... thank you!!!

I didn't get on my WII Fit at all this week!!!! :o( I have been working out though. I got Jillian's 30 Day Shred and have been doing that as well as one of the Biggest Loser workout DVD's that I already had. Lots of sweating, and actually lots of fun!!! :o) I am going to try starting a challenge in my house tonight though.…

Weekends aren't too bad for me. I am a substitute teacher though so, most of the week, I am home with my 2 year old. So, weekends are pretty much the same as weekedays. The thing that makes it harder is that my husband is home and he'll want to order food in or go out to eat. That's when I get into trouble. :O)

Okay all... weigh in this morning :o)!! 130.6 :o)

I usually make an extra serving at dinner, then I take that for lunch the next day. :o) That way I already know the calorie count, I can enter it ahead of time, and it isn't any extra work because I was making dinner anyway. :o) Good luck!! :o)

Bumping :o)

Are you able to wear smaller, better fitting clothes? My mom lost about 30 lbs. a few years ago but continued wearing the same clothes because nobody really noticed any difference including herself. She was getting really discouraged because no one noticed anything. She took measurements and such, all said that she had…

Biggest Loser is back on Tuesday!!!!!!!! :o) WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO :o) I set it to record already so that I don't have to worry about it, just in case!!! SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in (If it isn't too late (I just saw this this morning :o) )) 1 - Elysant 2 - Tara 3 - 31, Female (Colorado) 4 - I want to be around 150/155 - Right now I just want to lose enough to look good in my bridesmaid dress in August! :o) 5 - Start Weight - TBD :o)

Jane - That is a wonderful idea. I think that I will do just that! :o) I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD along with my WII workouts so that way I'm getting a large variety of exercises and such. :O) My son LOVE to try the stretching stuff at the end with me. It is really cute to see :o)

I don't have any goals yet... I will have to think about it. I have, however, realized that spending 60 mins/6 days per week on the WII is taking way too much time away from my son. So I will be shortening that to 40 min/6 day per week. :o) I will let you know my other goals once I figure them out. No later than Sunday…

So, I am going on another campus tour in the morning for my stepdaughter. It's an hour drive to the college, a 2 hour meeting/tour, and an hour drive back. I think I am going to need some extra sleep tonight! :o)

That sounds wonderful! I will have to try this :o) Mmmmmmmm Thank you!!! :o)
