Great post, Matt!! I have been like a roller coaster with my weight for the past several years. I do good for awhile, then I will backslide. I have a family of five, so buying healthy food is really expensive (especially now, since I am the only one that has income coming in). I don't buy junk food, like chips-cookies, but…

Great motto!! I haven't thought about it that way? Cheers to being healthy!! :drinker:

I don't worry about the calories I earned back from exercising. I just try to stay at the 1200 calories per day. (Which some days are hard for me---sometimes I end up going over--which sucks!):grumble:
-
That is Great!! :happy: Keep up the good work. That is very encouraging. I look forward to a day like that!

Yahoo!! Today is a new day! We are having a health screening on site today, here at work. I just got through with some tests; cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, etc... this year everything is normal---great for my age, heighth. Last year I was 30 pounds heavier and high cholesterol and blood pressure! This had made my day!…

I messed up.....I gave in. I thought just a little won't hurt.....Now I am miserable. I am a failure. Why do I even try? :cry: I always start off good in the mornings, I actually went for a brisk 30 min walk before work and then look what happens. I think it is a mental thing----I see food, I want food, I eat food. I feel…

I know all about the weekends. I was bad :devil: this past weekend! Maybe that is out of my system now and I can move forward! That is my goal this week. I gained a few pounds back. :cry:

Congrats!! :happy: keep up the good, hard work! I wish I could say the same---I blowed the weekend---too much fun in the sun! I feel miserable today. Last week I weighed in at 176, this morning I am back up to 179. :grumble: No more beer! Yikes! I need will-power--seriously!

My bad - poor calculation:blushing: I had 4 water bottles at work and before the T-ball game was over--I ended up drinking another 2 bottles + the powerade. Can you drink too much water?
-
Thanks ladies (KandyJo & Meags23) for your responses. I believe your right about my body rebelling. I am a little sore from walking and doing some strength exercises. I guess I will need to find the right pace for me until my body gets use to it.
-
I had a total of 10 bottles of water and 1 powerade (calorie free)--throughout the day. ( I had quite a bit of water that afternoon watching my little girl play t-ball). It was 105 degrees (counting heat index)--very, very humid. When I started walking it dropped down in the lower 80's + heat index. Do you think I just got…

What video is this and where can I get it? It sounds interesting.

Welcome everybody!! Any suggestions on this topic: I went for a brisk walk for 30 minutes late yesterday evening and I had stomach cramps all night afterwards. I did do a cool down walk for a 1/2 block before going in. I took a shower and went to bed around 30 minutes after walking. Does anybody know what caused this or…

I would like to know if this really works also??
-
Thank you. I will purchase more vege's, and try to stay away from the pre-made foods. This helps. I will be glad when my real vege's get ready in my garden! :smile:
-
What about the sugar intake? It seems like everything has tons of sugar in it. Even the Special K bars or the fiber bars. I will do ok with calories, but I am always going over on the sugar & fat intake--mainly the sugar. Any suggestions?
-
You all look GREAT!!:happy: Congratulations! Keep up the good work. I am having problems staying away from food and it seems like I always run out of time to do any type of exercise. I am still working on getting my life in order. You guys are an inspiration! Thank you.
-
I find myself fighting the same battle! It seems like I am wanting to eat all of the time. I know I lost 30 pounds last year and gained almost 15 pounds back this year because of the binge eating! :cry: Somebody told me to try to find something physical to do, like do some situps, clean house, etc. -- something, anything…
-
I heard if you eat something spicy (like Salsa) would help with the sweet craving--less calories! :smile:
-
Congratulations!! Looking good. Keep up the good work! :happy:
-
I agree with you. I have the same problem, people saying that I do not need to lose weight--especially my husband. But I disgust myself, so how can I look good! I have cellulite from he--! :cry: I am doing a roller coaster ride with my exercise/eating habits. I do good for awhile, then I go back to my old habits. UGGHHH!!…
-
It sounds like to me, he doesn't give you much support. Do not let him discourage you!! Hang in there! You deserve to be treated better than that---life is too short to put up with this!

I have returned from a very stressful 2008. I am trying to get my priorties straight again, because in 2008 I lost 30 pounds total. Since November 2008, I have gained 12 pounds back and boy, I can feel it. So I am going to try to count calories again with the help of my friends on myfitnesspal website!! My motivation is…

I am with you. I feel the same way. I roughly lost 10-12 pounds-it fluctuates- and I am stuck in the same rut. There are times I feel like giving up and it is not just my eating habits. Life can be depressing at times. In my case anymore, more depressing than usual. I guess I am in one of those moods myself! I haven't been…
