1200 and doing well
So, I fell off the diet wagon and went back to wight watchers. I do believe they have a great program for folks who need to lose 50 or less lbs. However for folks who need to lose 150-200 lbs, its just not practical to tell someone to only expect to lose 2 lbs a week, which is average for someone just losing 10-50 lbs. I…

200 lbs to lose need motivation
I have 200 lbs to lose and I plan to do it with diet and exercise. My Dr has advised me to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories a day and when I can start to work out he wants me to increase that to no more then 1800. So I am 200 lbs over weight and I always do great for the first few weeks then fizzle out. I am very…

keep on keeping on
I have never really eaten my total calories for the day when I am really paying attention to them. I look over my food choices for the day and I think, wow! That really is a lot of food...I did something the other day, I took a 'normal' day and wrote down everything I would eat in that day...it was well over 5000 calories!…

Back on and WORKING it!!!!
So I fizzled out 4 months ago, I let my anxiety of self accomplishment get the better of me, and I just resorted to the familiar....I made a mistake!!! I did exactly what I was trying not to do and ended up gaining all my weight back and then some. I am under supervised Dr care due to my extreme low amount of calories,…

temptations...frustration.....
The theme song from the 80's movie modern problems is like playing over and over in my head! lol Just kidding, but today was a bit on the rough side for me. I was a bit grouchy and well, *****y! I had to give myself an attitude adjustment. So many times, I have given in to this, given into to food and calories and eaten in…

Short comings on the scale?? what do you do???
I am in week two, and I am afraid of not seeing what I am expecting on the scale...I have thought hard about this, this is usually the time when I start to doubt my efforts...and I have to move past that. The scale is not the only thing that determines weight loss. I need to know that this will sometimes not show up for…

Stop making excuses!!!!
Every day is a new day... Were only human...don't be hard on yourself....blah blah blah....lol sorry, but this is why we large people stay large. We make excuses for our behavior. We cater to our own egos....I am sorry, but its WRONG on so many levels...when you are 50, 100 or more lbs overweight, it is obvious that we…

Control....
I just have to say, I don't want to sound like such a control freak, but MAN, it is so nice to have the will power to say NO to my cravings. In my life, things are pretty hectic. I usually go with the flow and eat what everyone else wants....well, everyone else in my family are not over 150 lbs!!! IF they don't want to eat…

Feeling hungry...is it mental or not???
Sometimes we eat because we just think its 'time to eat' Our bodies tell us when we are hungry, but most of us don't listen. We eat at lunch time, dinner time...but are we really hungry? I did not know what it felt like to be hungry. I knew all to well what it felt like to be full. Stuffed is more the word, but hungry??…
