That is so awesome! Congrats! We can do ANYTHING through Christ who gives us Strength! :-)

Way to go on the first step! That tends to be the hardest. For myself, I found walking to be a good exercise. I started out walking what made me comfortable and adding when it worked for me. I also found eating small meals/snacks and actually writing down the calories a huge help in deciding what I wanted to eat verses…

I think it is a personal decision. My mom eats meat daily and she maintains a weight below 110 lbs. I decided to stop eating beef & dairy for a while since I am lactose intolerant. I currently only eat Turkey & maybe chicken once a week and I am slowly losing the weight. Good Luck! Sherry

This has definitely made me see the good and bad in my eating habits. I am now more aware of what I eat. :embarassed: Over the weekend I worry less about my calories and viewing this past weekends results, I am not ready for those types of weekends...:cry:

Thanks! I am new here and did not look for a previous topic. :ohwell: I am definitely watching my water intake now. I know currently I am not exercising to were I need a lot of water... Sherry

As moms I think we forget to do this simple thing! Too worried about everyone else! Congrats on your weight loss!

WIth a busy life(mom of 4) it is so easy to fall back into bad habits!

This pic is from Cincoteague Aug 2008 right before my weight gain. You will get there!

My goal is to wear a size 10 again! I want to get down to 140 and ultimately to 130...

Don't feel bad. We've all had those days of running to food and a moment of eating ice cream is way better than a week of bad eating habits. I was a smoker for over 18 yrs so instead of getting a cigarette, I reach for food...... As far as marriage goes, my 1st marriage was not good(separated after 9yrs).I have been with…

I portion my meals. I preload my meals for the day and generally know how much I have for dinner. Breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks are always about the same in calories. 550 for noodles is a given and if you haven't gone over,I wouldn't worry about it. You have got to give into cravings in moderation of course. :)

The BIG 4-0 was quite difficult for me and has been a really good turning point as well.

I turned 40 this past September. My turning point was my size 12 pants were getting tight again and I did not want to get back into a size 14!!! I love food, so I am working on ways to fulfill cravings without ruining my healthy eating habits..

Hi Cheryl, I's Sherry and new here(even though I joined a few months ago)I am 40 perimenopausal and quit smoking Aug 2008(almost 20yrs of smoking). I gained over 36 lbs and have shed about 20 of those lbs. 3 years later I still crave cigarettes and have found myself "eating" instead of smoking!!!

My diary is public, just because their is no need to "hide" my bad eating habits. It helps me to think twice before wanting to eat some foods....

I was also on a good path...lost 25 lbs. Ate & exercised really good. Then I had to get back surgery, and have been struggling with my motivation since(Oct 2009). I got this app on my iPod probably about 2 months ago, and lately I started to watch my eating habits again. Ideally I want to lose 40lbs more but realistically,…
