Dogs know exactly when they are needed. Glad you came here for hugs. And here is another one ((HUG)) I hope you have a wonderful time with your guests. We all love you too!!!

I'm stuck here til 5 today and have to do it all over again tomorrow. :grumble: I'm doing everything I need to do today so tomorrow can be my goof off day. I hope everyone has an awesome day, no matter where you are or how long you are working. :smile:

I'm over 200 :)

Just a thought...maybe try adding in some exercise. Sometimes a little extra activity can make a difference. Right now it sounds like you are overwhelmed by the food. Don't let it get you down. You can, and you will succeed!

Thanks for feeling comfortable enough with us to share your feelings. Hopefully things will get better soon. If you lived close to me I would come babysit so you could have some "me" time =)

Amazing!!! Great job!!!

Leslie Sansone...Walk Away the Pounds was my lifesaver...15-90 minutes a day.

Coffee-mate has peppermint mocha liquid and powder creamers...in regular and sugar free. I don't care for it but my mom is addicted to the stuff lol. She also has Torani sugar free peppermint syrup. She mixes that with the hot chocolate k-cups for peppermint hot chocolate.

For the 1, 2, and 3 mile walks, the average speed is 4.0 mph. That is what I use when logging my workouts. I log Walk and Kick as 5.0 mph, because it is a little more intense. I have a HRM. I weigh 216 lbs and my calories burned for these workouts range from 130 to 450 calories, depending on how much I push myself.

Drawstrings are my friend too lol...I have 4 pairs of khaki pants with drawstrings that are a size 22, and I bought a new pair of jeans last week that are a 16, with room to spare. The drawstrings are pulled tight in the khakis lol.

I have been wearing my bigger clothes until someone tells me "that shirt is too big...". I'm on a budget, so I feel your pain and share your frustration. I have gone and spent about $200 on new clothes over the past month, and bought the essentials (dress pants, jeans, bras, etc). I have put jeans in the dryer, and they…

Awesome!!! :)

Thanks guys and gals I'm glad to know I'm not crazy for wanting to take a few days. It's not like I want to eat 5,000 calories a day and stay in bed all day. I have had a lot happen the past two days and I think taking a few days off would be good for me. I will start back up either Saturday or Sunday this week.

The ones that came with my iPod work perfectly for me. I wrap them around my ears and they tend to stay in better that way. I have funky ears too so don't feel bad lol.

Oooh...what a great idea, I'm in love with the idea of these reusable bags lol. Thanks!

I'm the same way...no one really said anything until I lost 30ish pounds.

So glad to know I'm not the only one! Lol

So proud of you!!! You had a slip-up, yes. But you haven't let it discourage you, which is so great! With this attitude you will definitely reach your goal :)

Mine has stopped working :( Guess it's time for a new scale. When it did work, I used a couple of different body fat analyzers, and they were all pretty close (within 1%). Nothing is going to give you an exact reading, but it can give you a general idea. Standing on the scale with damp feet is supposed to give you a more…

So glad to hear you are in love lol. The phone app is the best thing I think. I doubt that I would have been able to stick with it without the app. Congrats on your loss, and best of luck to you! You can reach your goal!

I would write it down and leave it on the kitchen counter. If he chooses to look at it and do something with it, great. If not, at least you tried.

Welcome, feel free to add me. I think you will like it here :) Good luck to you!

I would set your activity level to "active" and then log any exercise you do in addition to work and your daily walk. I only log exercise if I am doing it for the specific purpose of exercising. For example, I don't log cleaning or cooking because I'm not doing it for the exercise.

Eat smaller portions while loading up on the veggies. But most importantly, enjoy yourself :) It sounds like you are going to have a great night.

Welcome! You have come to the right place. Feel free to add me. Best of luck to you!

I would say take a day off. I try to take one or two days off each week from working out.

Welcome! I started in May with around 100 pounds to lose. You can do this, and there are a ton of people here who will support you the whole way. Best of luck to you!

Welcome! I think you will enjoy it here. Best of luck to you.

^^^^^Does this count as cardio??? lol

I would log it as circuit training. Or you could use a HRM and input the amount that it gives you.
