Finally!!
I have hit 10 lbs GONE- NEVER TO RETURN!!:smile: :happy: I joined in October, lost a few pounds, gained a few, lost a few, gained a few... definitely yo-yo'd as we call it, and I KNOW it was all my fault. I would be good a few days, and then hey lets get pizza and have 4 slices- diet blown to the wind. It would take…

Little spoons....
How I :heart: thee. So does anyone else use little spoons to eat their desserts??? My boyfriend thinks I'm a nut because I absolutely adore them. It takes me longer to eat my little portions of heaven, so I feel like I am getting more and it is very satisfying. My grandmother got me hooked, by giving me the baby spoon she…

How many calories do you eat a day?
Im really curious as to how many calories you guys eat on gym days and non gym days???? I would like to see if I have the right idea such as all you guys who have seen so much success. I really would love to compare what I'm doing with others and see if maybe I should adjust. I know personally for me, to see what others…

Polar F6
So I finally purchased a HRM, woo hoo!! I absolutely love it.... it actually makes me feel more healthy already! But I do have a question. I only had time for a quick little workout before I have to go to work and its snowing so I didnt want to go to the gym, so I jumped on my good ole trusty treadmill and did a 30 minute…

Food for the day....
So what has everyone eaten on this freezing day? (For those of us who have to suffer with the cold & snow!) I had a re-certification class for my ACLS, so I woke up at 6 and.... drum roll please ( I usually dont rise b/c of my schedule until 930!) 7 am: 1 cup coffee with 2 splenda and fat free vanilla creamer 2 pieces of…

I am grateful.....
So this year has had its up and its downs. We've all had rock bottom moments- with families, friends, economic issues, etc... and our weight. That being said, I am a nurse in an Emergency Dept. and I had the great (dis)pleasure of working on christmas day. While the night wasn't so bad, it ended on a very sad but mind…

"That" time again....
So, unfortunately I suffer from excessive water retention during our lovely time of the month. In one day, I have gained 8 lbs of water weight. I feel awful, and although Im eating correctly and exercising still, I cant seen to get out of my pjs because I look horrible. Anyone have any tricks to stop the water retention,…

AHHHHH Help!
I somehow hurt my back today, just suddenly gave out when I was walking the dog. So I really couldnt move. There went my exercise for the day! gahhh! On top of no exercising, I fed my pain with food I definately shouldnt have. Why? Because I gave into the inner power. I ate 800 more calories than I should have because the…

Is it an unrealistic goal?
Do you thinks its unrealistic goal to want to lose 14 lbs by Christmas? I know thats 6 weeks, trying to average only 2 lbs a week.... which would give me 12. But I would love 14. What do you think?

Zumba dance....
Has anyone tried a zumba class at their gyms? I think I might go tomorrow at 10 am, but it would be nice to have some knowledge going in!!! I'm just sick and tired of the same old routines, I think thats why I have problems sticking with exercising. I love to do it, but I get bored VERY easily. If you have any info, feel…

Weighing In
Hey guys. I was wondering how often all of you weigh in? I have a habit of getting on the scale everyday in the morning. I know that body weight fluctuates from day to day, and its said to only weigh yourself once a week, same time each week. I know that my habit is obsessive and I base my day on the number, which is NOT…

When should I stop eating?
Im a nurse and I work 2nd shift, 2p- 1230a. I usually get a break around 5-6, but that leaves me on my feet for another 6 hours and I don't go to bed until around 2 am. Ive tried having a snack around 10 if I get the chance to curve my appetite but I am STARVING when I get home. Something that I think has caused me to do…

Hey everyone!
So I might know a thing or two about wanting/needing to lose weight. What I don't know about is being open about my weight to others. About 4 years ago, I lost 100 lbs all on my own, and it definately WAS NOT easy by any means. But I was busy at the time and had a lot going on, so it kind of fell off with some good hard…
