Personally, I think the season has a lot to do with it. Typically, people gain more weight in the winter, the days are shorter, and some people actually suffer from SAD (I forget what that acronym stands for). Also, some of the people out there have made new year's resolutions to quit smoking, and the absence of the…

I used to live in the NorthWest part of the valley known as Aliante... it's a newer and fairly nice area. I would definitely recommend Summerlin, Aliante, Anthem (Henderson) or Green Valley. Stay away from the east side of town if you can help it. I lived there for 15 years before recently relocating to Idaho. I worked all…

I've lost a rack of baby back ribs... so far!

watermelon candy, gum, juice... anything that has watermelon flavor And cantaloupe. Don't like the fruit or anything that tastes like it.

Rosie Woodruff or Summer Woodruff either one's not that bad

Taco Bell and ice cream. I can't keep ice cream in the house so I don't buy it and I've stopped going to Taco Bell altogether. I also have a huge problem eating after dark. Once it gets dark, I get cravings for anything! I'm fighting those demons, tho it's not easy.

It's Jillian Michael's at home, on video, workout. It's really very good! You can get it at Walmart for about $10. Check it out!

Back in the 80's when the CB radio was really big, my handle was SunnyDelight - after the drink of the same name and because I have a sunny disposition. My name is Denise, so I've since changed it to SunnyDenise... I have always had a positive, or sunny outlook, on everything! :D

hear, hear!!

Not necessarily true. We can still be successful with our diaries closed. Leaving it closed allows us to be perfectly honest with ourselves without worrying about what anyone else will say about what we've charted.

Personally, I keep mine private not because I don't want anyone seeing what I've eaten but because I got tired of reading the "bravos" and "great jobs" when I KNEW I hadn't done a great job. I felt like a hypocrite and it made me feel worse about my day. Perhaps that's not a very good reason to keep it private, but it's…

Okay Jenn.. Found the group. Going to TRY to get the daily challenge in this week. I've been so tired it's hard to do them!! But I'm going to give it my best shot!!

I've never heard of any. But I'm curious to find out how you find one.

Oh Honey, you are most definitely NOT the only one out there who feels like that. I have been morbidly obese for most of my adult life and it still amazes me when I see pictures of myself how big I've gotten! I haven't been doing very well either! I've gained weight again, and actually saw that number that I NEVER wanted…

I have found that I prefer the clean eating mostly because of the reduction in calories! I can eat twice as much and still consume fewer calories than if I buy the food pre-made. The switch wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Cooking with raw foods takes approximately the same amount of time as cooking with…

Hi! Happy Halloween!! CW 291.6 I'll get measurements later when I have my hubby's help! Love you all!!

unfortunately, YES! the rule of thumb (just in case you didn't know it) is half your body weight in ounces is what you should be drinking every day!!

We're proud of you, too!!! You are doing an amazing job!

CW 291 up over all but down 1 lb from last week.

I seem to be in the minority!! hehe :laugh: I shop WalMart SuperCenter so I always start in the pharmacy section where I get all the non-food items they keep on that side like shampoo, deodorant, soap, dog food, feminine products, etc. Then I head over to the back of the grocery store and start in the dairy section making…

I'd like to know how to get rid of some of "my topics"... you know, the threads where there was a question, I answered it, and it's now forever in my "my topics" list even tho the thread is dead. I love the idea of a like button... sometimes when I'm reading posts, I actually move my pointer to click on it but it isn't…

my weight last week was 291.6 Haven't weighed in this week yet. I've been a very bad girl lately so don't really WANT to see what my weight is this week. :sad:

Current weight - 291.6

I have a VERY long way to go but I plan to use this well into my maintenance (IF I make it that far) because I won't know how to maintain without it for awhile... probably a LONG while! :huh:

Now that's funny right there! Made me laugh out loud - literally!!

It's mostly going to depend on how much time you want to spend on making your lunch. What I used to do when I had a boring office job was make a little extra dinner the night before, and packaged the left-overs so they were easily microwaveable at the office. Since I make very healthy dinners, I had an easy to carry…

I'm IMing my mom in another window.... one of my great cousins (1st cousin, twice removed) is having his first baby - well his wife is anyway! hehe And we're keeping watch via Facebook.. her sister in law is updating the family via facebook... I LOVE facebook!! (well, except for the changes!!! hehe)

if you are giving up the TV to become more active, try joining the YMCA ... they have some sports that you may like to play. Or take up gardening... that's an awesome calorie burner. What's nice about the Y is most of them have an indoor pool for winter activities. Just a thought.

It used to be smoking, but I gave that up (yay!) Now it's eating after the kids go to bed. Even if I'm not hungry or very full... I very rarely go one night without finding something to eat. (I'm working on that)
