I log my wine and exercise more if I want 2 cups :) red is better than white heart wise calorie wise and sugar wise I do however cheat with food on the weekends often but I also exercise more because I am home and not at a desk all day(and then I don't log) Last weekend I did much better and this weekend I am going to log…

Wow that fits perfectly into my plan. I have to find some!

Great Advice everyone and I am definetly going to change up my salad routine. I need to get out of my comfort zone and add more whole nutritious stuff to my salads but I am so scared of the unknown. I have no idea the nutritional value of most things. Guess it's a learning process.

Makes sense to think of it as the more processed the more sodium it may have. Good Advice!!

I know low fat is better than fat free. They add sugar to fat free foods to make them taste better. Swindlers! South Beach Diet book taught me a thing or 2.

If it was I'd be skinnier :) I think! lol

I guess maybe I am asking too much :( But I've seen other posts were people suggested to other to watch fat or sodium or whatever...

Huge plate of Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo with white pasta, an entire loaf of (white) garlic bread and a piece of my grams (RIP) homemade chocolate birthday cake.

I think you may be on the wrong site sorry. The free dating site is plenty of fish (at least it was when I was single).

me too! When I pull reports weekends are usually blank.

1. I realize more everyday that I have changed in the past 3 years with my boyfriend and although I love him I don't like the negative, boring pushover I've become. 2. I am very impatient and if things don't have fast results (like losing weight) I generally give up. 3. My 13 year old adhd honor student with what I thought…

Like I said I'm no expert- If I was I wouldn't have gained weight back the last 2 years by eating like crap and becoming lazy. Just saying what worked for me and helped me feed my body properly. 70 lbs in 6 months and I felt amazing and got rid of insulin resistance that made me pass out and go to the hospital. Yup I will…

All fruit has carbs. You should eat fruit but stick to the ones that have more fiber (the more fiber and protein the less the carbs impact you. Apples, pears, berries to name a few. Bananas are horrible! Unless you are working out heavy or running long distances and need carbs and potassium. They have alot of carbs and…

Phen question- How long have you been taking it? The whole not feeling like eating thing went away for me after the first week. I am on 30 mg and can't find any info to see if I am safe to ask him to up my dose. I lost 8 lbs first 2 weeks and then the weight loss completely stopped and I am still staying in 1200 cal and…

Yes take measurements. The more I work out the less my weight comes off. I upped my cals to 1400 and I am measuring today so I can compare next friday.

Lockhart, Texas- bbq capital!

I want to join. 2/17- 181 back to being healthy again after a 2 month respite and gaining 8 lbs back 2/24- 177 4lbs down 3/2- 174 3lbs down 3/9- 172 2 lbs down I need to kick it up a notch so I went back to very low carbs and more lean protien. And my goal this week is to exercise everyday with no excuses. Lets see what…

Thanks everyone for the great advice and motivation. I have mostly been doing wii active this week because the kids have had me crazy busy with school activities but I'm going back to the track tomorrow night and I am going to slow it down and concentrate on counting my steps/breaths until I get it. Oh and smoking I am…

I am self conscious too. Especially when I first started running. I still go at dusk though :embarassed: and I don't feel as out of place anymore but now I am self conscious because I pant and gasp for air and people at the track probably think I am going to pass out any minute.

Confused but bumbing anyway for later when I need it.

Yes I am doing C25k (interval running). And everybody is right weight gain is my excuse to not quit smoking. I'm hoping to end up with more excuses to quit soon than I have to still smoke. Everyone has such great advice, I am going to try to concentrate harder on my breathing tonight on my run. Also love the advice about…

String cheese, raw veggies with low fat dressing, cottage cheese, 100 cal almond pack (but beware fat will go up), protein bar, I will think of more but I just worked out and am tired haha.

Thanks guys! I'll let you know how it goes. I am keeping the faith that I have learned some control and will not totally blow it.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one scared to go past week 1 I've been doing it for 3 weeks. Week 2 doesn't sound bad but by the time I do the 90 second intervals on week 1 I can't catch my breath until it's almost time to run again.:sad:

Good for you! I've heard most people lose inches but barely any lbs so you must have been working your butt off!

Add me ladies. Most of you seem to be in the same place I am. Started at 206 (highest) and I'm at 175 right now. My weight was between 170 and 185 for so many years I cannot remember before getting in a long term relationship 3 years ago and ballooning up to 206. I was 160 when I was single before him for the first time…
