Walden Farms (sold at our Wal-Mart) is really good & comes in several flavors like Ranch, Creamy Bacon, Thousand Island, Blue Cheese...etc. They have NO fat, calories, carbs, etc. Really pretty good in my opinion...

Count me in. When I started this past summer, I had a goal of loosing 105lbs (starting weight 225) :sick: . I had lost 11, then I fell off the wagon & gained all but 4 back :cry: . Well, I'm back on it (as of Jan 5) & I've changed my weight on here to reflect the new starting point (221). Right now I've been juggling the…

Walden Farms Dressing (at Wal-Mart) are really good. Comes in Ranch, Creamy Bacon, Thousan Island, Blue Cheese, & more than I can't think of right at this moment. It has No calories, fat, sugar, carbs, etc. REALLY good & you can have as much as you want! :wink:

I love/hate the weekends too. We get so off routine, so I grab whatever food is handy & eat it, just so I can get to the next thing that needs cleaning or so we can head off to shop, etc. I have to admit though...this weekend was different! Last night my hubby saw me logging my food & got really interested in this site, so…

Oh that sucks! Sometimes it just seems like nature is totally against us! *BIG hugs* It'll be ok...just indulge yourself w/ small amounts chocolate! LOL

Yup...which equals a b*tchy week for me! LOL

Thanks everyone...I just had to complain...:ohwell: I'm tired, feel like crap & the last thing I want to do is watch what I eat & exercise.... I'm trying to keep an eye on what I eat, but I'm taking it a bit easy on exercising...

Why is it the saying "when it rains, it pours" happens to me? It's "that week", which is horribly painful & uncomfortable...now I've got such a head cold & sore throat that I feel like someone shoved a bag of cottonballs up my nose & sandpaper down my throat!!! It is SO hard to watch what I eat when all I want to do is eat…

I'd love to have the fit, but right now I try to play tennis & boxing for at least 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week along w/ using my exercise bike. I have to admit...my arms are so sore! Maybe I get into it too much...or maybe I just enjoyed beating my husband! LOL

I just have to ask...because I had TOO much fun! Last night, I was "boxing" against my husband on our Wii. Not only did I kick his butt :laugh: , but I was sweating & out of breath by the time we finished. I know we played a good 25-30 minutes! Is it really considered exercise? My arms are really sore from it today.

When my hubby cooks or we have something for dinner that I know I shouldn't have much of, I make myself eat a big salad w/ lots of veggies in it before I allow myself to eat the "main" dinner. That way I can have what everyone else is having, but I'm already on my way to full & I don't eat as much of the "bad" stuff. I…

YAY! Go You! I completely understand! Last night I actually had about 30 minutes to sit & watch tv - so I talked myself into getting on the exercise bike while I watched the show. It took me about 5 minutes to talk myself into it, but I did it! I was really proud of myself when the show was over...not only had I used my…

Thanks everyone! You've brightened my day & given me back my confidence that I CAN DO IT!!!

My husband does both. He wakes me up at 5:00 in the morning & literally yells at me...wanting to know WHY I'm not on the exercise bike yet. THEN, he brings home fatty meat for dinner & says "yuck" to everything that I suggest we have instead. OR, he begs me to make something sweet - even though he knows I can't have any…

Thanks! That's my 'stud muffin' Jimmy Dean (yes, named after the sausage). Thanks for the encouragment!!! I sure have needed it today, but I'm determined to do better!!!:smile:

Thanks everyone! I made wise food choices for breakfast & lunch. I'm already feeling 'back in the groove'. Next thing to tackle....exercise! It's nice to hear I'm not the only one w/ weekend struggles! THANKS!:wink:

Hey all, I'm needing a few encouraging words today... I've had a bad weekend! I've been stressed to the MAX & my eating has proven it. I want SO badly to stay with loosing weight - but then life sticks it's ugly head in it & I get all messed up..... *SIGH* I started with a fresh page today & so far have been doing well,…

I'm originally from Mt.Vernon, IL. But, currently living in the "boone docks" of Olive Branch, IL. LOL

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it!

Hello to everyone! I have a question that I hope ya'll can help me out with. What kind of vitamin is best for helping loose weight? There are SO many kinds out there that they get confusing! People have suggested that I should take a Women's vitamin or a Pre-natal Vitamin (no I'm NOT preggo) or a Weight Loss vitamin, or a…

Although I breed Miniature Dachshunds (responsibly, I might add), I DO have 5 adopted animals that I adore. We support our local shelter & have a great relationship with the people who work/volunteer there. I LOVE my doxies, they are precious to me! But, all of my shelter animals are just as important. In fact, I've spent…

LOL These are great stories! Last summer, my son & daughter were playing outside spraying each other with the garden hose. Well, my daughter was tired of playing and decided to go in. But not Logan (my son), Oh no...he wasn't finished playing yet. SO he follows her into the house....with the hose... & proceeds to chase her…

I totally understand!!!!! My son is 4, my daughter is 8. They fight ALL the time. She has already reached that hormonally crazy stage in life. If you just LOOK at her the wrong way, she starts crying....and I'm like....WHAT?!?! What did I do?!?!?!? My 4 year old just LOVES that his sister is an emotional basketcase. He'll…

I agree! LOL I'll take working out w/o the sweating ANY day!

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! I can't wait to try them out!
