Book: The Beck Diet Solution...
Has anyone read/followed it? I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. I read some great reviews on it thru Amazon. If you have used it, how would you rate it, 1-10 and why?

I should learn NOT to stray from here!
I used to frequent here a lot. I really like the site. I only visit the message boards b/c I track my food on another program so I don't want to track twice (sometimes I have a hard enough time tracking once..LOL). I wish there was a mobile site just for the boards as I use my Iphone more than the computer lately. But the…

Ahhh..the compliments are starting again! ;)
This is from one of my spin instructors who I haven't been able to see regularly! "You look great and slim and trim by the way." I love compliments and miss them! I have to accept them better in person. It's nice to hear them!

Haven't be here in a LONG time....but....
When I logged my weight, I have lost 8.2 lbs since my last log in! :happy: I finally have my mind set back! I have been on track and logging my food for a few weeks now! I am feeling better all around! When I am happier and on track...my whole world is affected (same goes for when I am NOT on track). I am nicer to my kids!…

OT: sort of..It affects my stress..when your child tells you
they don't like you...do you: 1. take it to heart and it upsets you 2. do you feel you are "doing your job" like I have heard some say (not here but in real life). My DS is very upset w/ me right now and usually I'd yell back at him to take control of the situation but I have told him when he's done ranting, he needs to…

OT: Sort of...WWYD about "insulting friend" who contacted me
I will copy/past some back history on here: Some of you may remember reading this before but wanted an "updated opinion"on a call I got from her yesterday. Here is the copy/paste from Last July: My friend of 30+ yrs (we are 38), feels it's ok, I guess, maybe b/c I let it go most times, to make rude comments to me. Wether…

What to do..in between sizes for a wedding..
What would you buy? A 14 that was big on me NOW and needed to be closed in the back w/ clips (just to see how it looked on me w/o holding it up) OR a 12, that was not able to be zipped all the way but was "almost" there. Not by a tiny bit but about 6 inches of zipper open! I have to order it in a few weeks! But the wedding…

How to get the right mind set....Hardest part for me!
I KNOW this is mostly a "mental thing." If you didn't have the right mind set, and you do now, what changed to make that happen. I'd love some ideas?
-
Protein Bar suggestions?
In my other post..I read a couple of people that eat protein bars. Which one's do you all suggest? If you do WW, how many Points Plus are they? Thanks

Home Daycare Providers w/ your own home? OR SAHM's?
Opps..the title should read: with your OWN KIDS @ home. Hey everyone. I am a home daycare provider and basically a SAHM too except I get paid for the kids I watch. I have a 10 yr old boy and twins 5 yr old B/G that will start school in the Fall...WHOOO HOOOO! ;) We alllllll (the twins and I) need a break from each other…
-
Bladder issues during exercise...anyone?
I think I need to focus on getting most of my day's water in BEFORE the evening when I usually go to the gym. Sometimes when I jog my mile, if I've had too much water before hand, even if I go before getting on treadmill...I have issues! LOL Dr. said if it gets worse...to call her and I can go on medicine but she thinks…
-
OT: Any home daycare providers here?
Well this is sort of off topic but sort of related to weight loss. Did any of you continue home daycare once your own kids started school or could stay home alone? Or did you work outside the home after that? Right now, I can't stop b/c I have obligations to families that I care for (some of them are family members too).…

FINALLY changed my weight #!
It has been at 178 for months!!! Then I went up a few and didn't record it here so I am officially down 6 lbs for the past 6 weeks. This was my FB status today: I WILL not giving up that easily (like I had thought I should). It will just take encouragement, determination, hard work and a positive attitude. I can and WILL…

Pandora lovers? I just got one for my Bday
I have decided that as a GIFT to myself I will get this charm! http://www.pandoramoa.com/product.php?pid=9802 This is for my ultimate goal weight reward! It's a symbol that WW uses for getting to your goal weight! Pricey it will be worth it! Granted I have been saying..I will get to my ultimate weight and it hasn't…

Lots of work to do..this may just be what I need..In a weddi
I am going to be in my SIL's wedding 1 yr from now (9/17/11). I lost 27 lbs (was about the same weight I am RIGHT now when I started WW the 1st time) for MY wedding 11 yrs ago. I KNOW I CAN DO IT! I have found that when life gets hectic, I put MY needs (eating right, going to gym or taking time out ALONE to go for a walk)…

Any other Biggest Loser Addicts?
I can't wait for tonight! Kids in bed and "a watching I will be." ;)

My "I can't wait for's"
I can't wait for: 1. Compliments again. Even though I get embarrassed, I LIKE hearing them but need to accept them better. I MISS hearing them! 2. Jeans to fit better. 3. LIKE clothes shopping again. 4. For Wii Fit to be nicer to me :explode: 5. To just simply FEEL better about myself. 6. Possibly get a "goal" tattoo…

Do you find losing weight "easy"?
I have often heard members say at my WW meetings they find it "easy." I have been at this on and off for 12 yrs and I find it harder and harder the older I get (maybe b/c I'm more busy than when I first started out). But I have let "life" get in the way of my tracking foods and exercising. How do I get it back to STAY?
-
Amazing what happens when I track my food AND exercise! :)
I actually LOSE weight! Seeing a good loss this week so far but I don't officially WI until Saturdays. Does anyone else find when they are in more control of their plan, the rest of the day seems to go smoother?

Rude comments from "friend" and finally getting it out!
My friend of 30+ yrs (we are 38), feels it's ok, I guess, maybe b/c I let it go most times, to make rude comments to me. Wether it's about weight/WW/food/my gym activity. She has been unsupportive in the past. Do I expect her to be on board w/ all of my activities? No, but I do expect to be RESPECTED and her not be rude! I…

UGH..upped the exercise but still gained!
I am going to try and NOT eat my "exercise points" (Weight Watchers) this week. Maybe I ate too many of them. I don't know. When I used to earn 2 a day, I always ate them and still lost. Now I'm earning about 3-5 or even 6 a day (on Spin days) but maybe that many extra is too many! So frustrating! I'm trying to be patient!…

Update on "friend" making rude comments from last Sunday!
Little background: she has made rude comments to me in the past and last Sunday, in front of her new BF, she held up an oinking pig toy that she got one of my kids and said: "You don't need to go to Weight Watchers, you just need to have your hubby use this around the house." I told her in the letter that I thought it was…

Spin Vs. RPM..at least I know now!
I didn't think they were much different but based on the Spin class I took last night, I like RPM a whole lot more! I have been told Spin is up to the instructor for music and routine. RPM is a Les Mills program and can't be changed by the instructor (wether it be the routine or the music). The RPM also seems to be more…
-
Weights or cardio first?
I am possibly doing my own routine tonight instead of a class. Does anyone know if it matters if doing weights (either free weights or machines, not sure which I will do yet) or cardio is better, or does it not matter?
-
Do you alternate Combat/Spin/Pump classes?
If so..how often do you do each of them and what is your schedule like? I am thinking of doing Spin/Combat more days and doing Pump 2 (ish) days. Just looking for some schedule ideas and what everyone finds the most effective. Thanks

@ the end of the summer..I want to say...
that my jeans are NOT snug!!! I hate that feeling after summer is over and it's time to put jeans back on and they don't feel so good! Even if I haven't gained, they still didn't feel great at the end of last summer! Can anyone relate?
-
I have been gone! I am back NOW!!
I have not been on here for awhile b/c I know I was not doing what i should to lose! I NEED TO STOP THAT!!! Been tracking now since Saturday and I feel good emotionally and physically!
-
Knee Brace under or over exercise pants?
I usually only wear yoga type pants to the gym. I have decided that wearing my knee brace for chondromalicia (ACE Neoprene) will be best for me and stop using the excuse that I can't Spin/Combat/Pump b/c of my knee pain. When I dug it out of my ski bag and put it on...my 1st thought was...DOES THIS BRACE MAKE MY LEG LOOK…
-
Tattoo to recognize your efforts/goals @ weight loss?
Has anyone gotten 1 to symbolize your hard work? I would love to get one that has to do w/ perseverance (since I've been at this SOOOOOO long). Would a tattoo artist help w/ that idea? I am sure they would. What has anyone gotten?
-
Gym in the EARLY AM before Hubby has to leave?
Does anyone do this? I would LOVE to be able to get up and get to the gym by 5:30 at the latest b/c I would have to be home by 6:30 so that my DH (dear husband) can go to work b/c we have 3 young kids (9 yr old and twin 4 yr olds). Maybe I can start by just doing this 1 day a week. There is a spin class I'd LOVE to take…
