I find that it really helps with cramping, my mood, and back aches. I take it easy and just focus on moving and stretching, so it's worth a try to do something light.

Hi I'm Tamela originally from St. Petersburg, FL. I currently live in Norcross, GA which is about 20 minutes northeast of Atlanta. I am a single mother of two (18 year old son going off the college in 2 weeks and 11 year old daughter starting 6th grade). I am going into my 19th year of teaching and I currently teach 8th…

SW: 276.6 CW: 260 GW: 253 UGW: 200 Weigh in Dates: 8/1 8/8 8/15 8/22 8/31 Total weight lost:

I admit it, I'm hopelessly addicted. I'm on summer break and I go back to work in 2 weeks and I'm not going to know what to do. is that what withdrawal feels like sad. Ditto

I'm 5'7 and SW 276.9 CW 258. My goal is 190-195 range. I will be extremely happy with 200-205. My short term goal is to get down to 230 by the end of the year. I am the heaviest I have ever been, but I've always been large and curvy (hour glass shape). I have never had to deal with belly fat and have always been proud of…

Depending on how much I was over on my bad day sometimes I try to shave an extra hundred calories off each day for the rest of the week to balance it out. Great I idea, I'm going to try this!

I have the same problem, I'm going to move it to my bathroom on the ground floor. That way I have to walk down two flights of scales to get to it. Weighing daily several times a day is discouraging and I just can't seem to resist the urge to step on it when I'm in there. I suggest moving it out of your main bathroom.

I am the complete opposite. The summers are wonderful for weight loss. I am stress free and have so much time I tend to work out two or three times a day. For some reason I don't snack as much because I am always doing some project around the house, or I just get out of the house. During the school year I am so busy with…

International Delight sugar free Hazelnut is only 20 calories per Tablespoon.

One of my favorite places! Love the Chicken Madeira with the asparagus and mashed potatoes.

Right before i turned forty I decided I wanted to shed some weight and get my weight under control. I have been a "big" girl all my life but I always manage to keep it "sexy". Approaching forty I began to worry about my health, so I manage to lose 40 pounds before my 40th birthday. I was doing very well keeping it off…

I'd like to join.

try cooking the veggies into your food if possible. carrots have really no taste when you shred them and cook them into things. i do this to my kid ALL the time. [/quote] Great tip! I'm going to try this for me and my kids!

Thank you for these words. This statement slapped me upside the head! I have the exercise thing down, and I now better understand the importance of my diet. :)

I would describe myself as hourglass as I have large breast, smaller waist, and big hips and thighs. My weight comes off top to bottom, which I hate because of my full thighs and hips. I usually notice a difference in my face and neck and then it slowly works it way down. Ironically when I gain, I gain in the but and…

Last night was really hard. I didn't get home til 8:30 and I was starving. I can't let myself ever get that hungry again. I wanted to snack really bad. Instead I drank a bottle of water ate dinner and waited and hour. The urge to snack didn't leave, so in order to not further temp myself I got off the sofa and went up…

While I don't agree with being mean or disrespectful. I do appreciate someone who has the ability to make people think and look at someone else's point of view. In essence, I am a troll all day long as I try to rattle my students and get them to think and look beyond their small world and open up to others and their ideas.…

I have to plan every meal. So I in the morning I log my breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Because my days are long and I tend to do my exercise in the evening, I log dinner and exercise at night. When I plan my meals and exercise ahead of time it helps me be more accounting to myself.

Night time snacking is a BIG issue for me. A male coworker told me he lost 10 pounds in month by only cutting off all eating at 7pm every night. I curious to see if it will work for me. My cut off time will be 8pm.

DITTO! :)
