cmriverside... You may want to ask your doc about the new ADD meds on the market. Stratera builds up in the system, works with your body's sleep cycle and has a bonus side effect of significant wieght loss. Just a thought to help with those nighttime food worries...

Playing touch football with my boys! Dancing with my 6yr old daughter until she's tired! Ropes course! Buying clothes in the misses sections not the womans section! Feeling sexy and fit in my skin! Knowing strech marks are the only thing keeping me out of a bikini! Skimpy, sexy nighties! Cowboy boots! A long, healthier,…

I totally agree with you, Kimford28! I'm on day two of the flu. I wish I had the energy for any of my fitness routine. Hope you feel better! Have a question for anyone though... Why does water not sit well on the stomach when your sick?

VEGETABLES!!!! and I'm eating, I think that's the big thing. I'm averaging 1500/day. I'm not making "special diet food" just normal things my family enjoys beefed up with vegis and cutting the fat and processed ingredients. I think the key has been water water water and I'm not allowing myself to negative selftalk. Any…

My secret... I don't know... Cleaned out my pantry... My family is eating what I am... Drinking half my weight in ounces of water daily... Taking the stairs everywhere... The bottomline is I have 120 lbs to lose, so look at it as percentage of weight lost. 6 weeks = 20lbs = 3.3 lbs a week = 7.6% tpwl Not exactly "biggest…

I got on the scale yesterday. I just about freaked out, 20 lbs! I didn't believe it, so I made my 11 yr old weigh since he had just been weighed at the dr, the scale was right on. Freaking out! I can't remember the last time I lost 20 lbs. (Guess if I could I probably wouldn't need to lose 20 lbs...) 20 lbs lighter just…

Cut down your workouts to 20 minutes and skip going to the gym, it's easy to get others sick at the gym, instead walk or jog outsoors. Endorphins help build up the bodies immune system. Plus a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Feel Better!

Another way to see a change in your measurement more quickly... add weight training to your routine!

So I'm typing in my morning workout and my fingers hit the wrong keys and suddenly I'm looking at "cooking and food preperation" under excerise... SERIOUSLY??? Should I be counting "Food Prep & Cooking" as well as "cleaning" in my excerise log? I'm still fairly new to this so anyone who's been at this for a while can ya…

Bananas... It sounds crazy I know but it works! Totally curbs the Chocolate craving!

Yes, that's for everything...

Welcome! This is a wonderful place to start your journey! My advice... Use the food journal faithfully! Start excerising, even if it's only walking 20 mins! Believe in your success! You can do it! Welcome! ~Made4praise "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Phil 4:13

Just read this and HAD TO SHARE!!! Read on.... "This is one of my favorite ways of tracking progress because it doesn't require any fancy equipment and anyone can do it. Taking your measurements at certain areas can give you an idea of where you're losing fat, which is important since we all lose fat in different areas and…

Working the plan for one week, have no idea how much I weigh but I've lost 1 inch around my waist and an inch from each thigh. I feel SO MUCH BETTER! My clothes are fitting so much different, baggy, oooh, an excuse for new clothes, very nice! Love my new diet, Thank the Lord for fresh garden vegis! Hope everyone is doing…

Sodium aka Salt causes swelling, not something you want when your losing weight. Plus too much Sodium puts you at greater risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Not Good Too much protein has been said to reduce kidney function and increase the occurance of kidney stones. Too much protein can be as harmful…

Zena250, You're funny. Ok, so this is my theory on photos, even though I HATE pictures of myself (yes, that's why I ALWAYS have the camera & take ALL the pictures!), Pictures are a great way to track your progress. Looking in the mirror everyday or even on the scale you can't see your progress the way everyone else see you…

That's SO funny! Minerva has a point though! Have you bought a pregnancy test? Because if your pants don't fit and your the same weight... Have you felt icky lately? Tired? Buy a test... giggle giggle

I'm totally with Skinner-me on this one... IF he loves you, he's going to support you and keep his negative thoughts to himself. IF he won't shut up, kick the boy to the curb. You have to put yourself first on this one!!! Keep fighting the fight, You can do it and Boys are dumb.

3 oz of meat is about the same size as a deck of playing cards, same with fish.... just get a scale... it's easier...

Opps! the post above that's supposably from herself, totally not, it's from me... I'm the bestest friend! Sorry Shannon!!! Love ya! ~Suzanne

I'm new here too. And yes I think it's possible to loose another 30 lbs by Thanksgiving as long as your doing it the right way. I've got to give you BIG CUDOS for giving up soda and bread!!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!! I'm in the same place you are, 100 plus lbs to loose and working hard at it everyday. My goal is 128 lb loss. I…

Hi! Welcome to the site! Here are my suggestions; 1.) Use the food diary faithfully! Knowing what and how much you're eating is the first step to eating to live not living to eat, like I've been guilty of. :) 2.) Start an excersice program. It can be something as simple as walking 20 minutes everyday to start. 3.) Remember…

Muscle weighs more than fat. It is completely NORMAL to gain a little weight when you first amp up your exercise routine. Take your measurements! The scale lies when it comes to fat loss, measurements don't. Take your measurements the same day everyweek and you will see the numbers dropping! It's a great motivator! Don't…

Hey All! I'm a 34 yr old mother of three married to the most amazing supportive husband ever. My goal is to lose over 100lbs. I've spent the last 10 years caring for kids and neglecting myself and now I look at myself in the mirror and don't reconize the image looking back at me. I'm starting today. I will change my life…
