Guardian Angel?
Do you believe in guardian angels? I think if I didn't before, I really do now. Let me explain. Friday I was home in bed w/ a migraine, when my husband called to ask if I knew where our cat Dusty was. I said, yes she just jumped off the bed. And he asked if I was SURE. And I said YES, she jumped down right when the phone…

Measure Progress w/out the scale
I found this article today. Thought it might be a good read, especially for those that are frustrated. Measure Progress Without the Scale An Arsenal of Tools for Your Motivation -- By Liz Noelcke, Staff Writer SparkPeople Sponsors help keep the site free! Frustrated. Disappointed. Hopeless. Skeptical. Whichever you choose,…

What is it?
There is this stuff falling out of the sky, it's wet and it's leaving big puddles on the ground. It looks like rain, but it's been so long since I have seen rain that I can't be certain. I also have wet drops coming out of the a/c vent above my desk because there is so much of the wet stuff outside!!!! There has been a…

Is it possible?
Is it possible to lose weight and not inches? I have lost 32lbs but the inches are the same or bigger. And no, it's not muscle, I haven't been doing that type of working out. I measure the same way every time. I'm so confused. My clothes are fitting better. Maybe the numbers on my measuring tape are sliding!! LOL memaw

This might be weird but............
This might seem weird and not really a success but to me it is. I had to have an xray done on my knee the other day, so I'm laying on the xray table and they guy asked me to move over. Well, usually this would be a really big chore, having to lift my body up and move over to just the right spot. Well, not this time. I just…

Food for Thought!!!!
Random Thoughts of the Day: I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. Nothing sucks more than that…

Side dishes
My body doesn't respond well to carbs so I am looking for some good side dishes that don't consist of rice, pasta or potatoes that I can make with my meat and vegetable dinners. Any suggestions other than more veggies???? Memaw

Swollen
My legs (especially the right one) have been swollen from the calf all the way down to my toes. It looks like I have little sausages attached to my feet. Not attractive at all. I thought it was from all the food I ate during our cruise and maybe from all the walking. Well, we have been back for 3 days now, I'm drinking…

I'm confused
Maybe I'm just having a blonde moment and someone can easily explain this but ......I was just playing with my settings on MFP Why is it when I put that I don't want to do any exercise all week (just playing with the settings, not actually wanting to NOT exercise) and want to lose 2 lbs per week it MFP has me eating 1440…

I'm baaaack!
I'm back from vacation. Went on a cruise and ate, and ate, and ate and drank, and drank, and drank. And now I'm paying and paying and paying for it!!! I got on the scale today when we got home and it showed that I have gained 10 pounds!!! I can't be mad because I KNEW what I was doing and can't blame any one but myself.…

Did something I've never done
So, I finally got rid of my "fat" clothes. Even when I lost weight at WW I never go rid of my fat clothes. I guess it was a safety net, just in case I gained weight. Well, this time, there is NO GOING BACK!!!! Memaw

Just Noticed this!
Some of you might not understand this and some of you will really appreciate it. I was walking to the ladies room and I just happened to notice that now, when I look down the first thing I see are the "girls". Before losing the 29lbs all I would see is my stomach sticking out. You see the "girls" are pretty small so for…

Today is a good day!!!
Finally I past the 30lb mark!! I have been at 29lbs for what seems like forever. Now I finally jumped to 31lbs lost!! Whooo hoooo. I was hoping to be under 200 by August 1st but now I am only 4lbs away so I am not too upset. My friend that has lost a little bit more than me gave me tons of clothes last night. I have never…

My boss!!!
My boss just came to my office and said she was going to take tomorrow as a vacation day if it was okay with me.(she always checks with me first in case I need her to sign anything or whatever) And I said "Well, sure you can take a vacation day, but only because I am in such a good mood". And she said "You do seem to be in…

Not even tempted!
So my boss had to go to the store this morning for creamer for her coffee and she comes back with a CAKE!!! Not just any old cake either. This is a chocolate marble cake. Yummmmy. It is sitting on the kitchen counter, right where I have to pass by each time I go potty. I have been drinking lots of water, so imagine how…

Went Shopping..............In my closet!!!
This morning I had a little time to spare before getting ready for work so I thought I would look through some clothes that have been boxed up in the spare closet. Well, I found some jeans that I bought years ago when I was doing Weight Watchers. I was so proud when I bought those jeans because I hadn't been able to wear…

I'm sad!!
I just had a talk with my boss and she told me that I need to start looking for another job because if we don't get some work between now and October we will have to shut our doors. I love my job and dont want to work any where else. I can't afford to wait until we close our doors to start looking. Who knows how long it…

So, it wasn't just a fluke!!
The other day I posted that I was able to buy a size 18. Well, I thought maybe it was just a fluke because I bought them at WalMart. My friend who has lost a little bit more than me is going to give me some of her 18s. Well, I wanted to be sure they would fit so on my lunch break I went to Cato and tried on some 18s and…

Smaller size AND someone else noticed!
I don't get to see my best friend all the time so today we stopped in where she works. We were sitting there chatting and in the middle of her conversation she stopped and said "dang, you are losing weight". I hadn't told her I was even trying!!! That felt really good. Then we went shopping for some clothes to wear on our…

Can you see the difference?
How do I make the pictures show up? Okay, I hope this works. This is my first time adding pictures from photobucket. Can you tell the difference? I think I look bigger now than I did in January, even though I have lost 28lbs. This is quite depressing. The middle one is from Jan 09 and the top and bottom are from today. Top…

Bummed
So I took my measurements and they are the same as back in February. How is that possible. I have lost 26lbs. That really bums me out! Memaw

Someone finally noticed!!!
Someone finally noticed that I have lost weight. For weeks now I have been wondering when someone would finally notice. I was in the ladies room at work putting my contact back in and a lady that I work with came in and said "Charlaine, have you lost weight, you look a lot smaller all over" I just wanted to cry!! I told…

too much fiber
Is it bad to have too much fiber? I always seem to go over my allotted fiber for the day. Is this a bad thing? It has to be better than going over my calories and fat right?? Please tell me I'm right ha ha. Just needing some opinions here! Memaw

Tea
Would decaf unsweet (no sweetener of any kind) count as water? I know cafeinated tea does not count but what about decaf?

Question
I am currently doing Sweatin To the Oldies w/Richard Simmons. While this is a great workout, I would also like to incorporate the treadmill into my routine. I haven't been on it since I lost the 24lbs so I am not sure what I am capable of doing on it, (running or walking). I always just walked at a REALLY SLOW PACE before…

Not my day!!
So I get on the scale this morning. Still the same, hasn't budged in a week! Bummer. Then I remember that my friend is coming over tomorrow. She and I started out at the same weight, but she has lost 10-15lbs more than I have. I have to listen to everyone tell her how great she looks and NO ONE , not one person has noticed…

How do they KNOW???
Okay, I know there is someone out there in MFP land that can answer this question. Maybe it has been asked/answered before but I didn't see it, so here goes: How do they know how many calories, carbs, protien, etc..are in any given item? Take for instance , the good ol' egg, how do they determine that it has 70 calories? I…

I am not happy!!!
