But about a month and a hlaf ago I started the 30 Day shred and went hard at it for about 9 days, well by the 8th day I could barely walk I finished one more day and thought I'd just take a few days off. Ever since…

Most Challenging Time of Day
What is the most challenging time of day for you to get through? Mine is right when I get home from work before I make dinner, my fiancé doesn't get home from work until about 2 hours after me and it's really important to me to eat together. But I tell you those 2 hours KILL me! I can do well all day, even eat a healthy…

Three days by the pool = three pounds :-(
I spent an amazing long weekend by the pool (Canada Day on Friday) and had an amazingly relaxing time. Unfortunately I totally slacked on my water intake , hopped on the scale this morning and I’ve gained THREE POUNDS! Now I know it should be gone in a few days but WOW three days in the sun with little to no water = 3…

I'm having wine tonight... and I don't feel bad!!!
That's right I'm going to open up a nice bottle of reisling and sit out in my back yard(or by my Mom's pool if she'll have me!) and savour the begining of a nice long weekend! I don't feel bad about it in the slightest! My wedding dress fits already and yes I want to lose a few more pounds in the next few weeks but I…

Calroies vs. pain of UTI (Women Only)
My fiancé and I are trying to get pregnant and this has caused a few UTI's for me(you know, the honeymoon disease!) Normally I would just chug some cranberry juice for a few days and all would be well. But now that I'm counting calories and watching my sugar intake I know it's a ton of empty calories for all that juice!…

How long until your new way of eating is just the way you ea
How long until your new way of eating is just the way you eat, not a diet? I'm trying to do this the right way this time after losing and gaining between 50 -80lbs at lest 6 times, I want to make sure I keep it off! So I'm doing it slowly. That being said a huge motivator for me has been my upcoming wedding, all of the…

NSV
I'm sick :-( Have a fever and chills and aches and pains, all that fun stuff. I spent most the day in bed yesterday and didn't eat much at all, so when dinner time came I figured I could make some Kraft dinner and it wouldn't be all that bad since I had a ton of calories left. KD is a weakness, a comfort food for me, so I…

NSV- small but nice!
Girl at work asked me what kind of foundation I wear because it looks so natural and covers so well..... ummmm I don't wear makeup! LOL I guess all this water is good for something :-)

I was happy until I saw the pictures!
I was so proud of how I was doing, I hit the goal weight I had for my bachelorette this weekend and had a nice new outfit ready. I had an amazing time and was feeling pretty darn good about myself until I saw some of the pictures posted by my friends on Facebook :-( Some were ok but in others I realized I still look like a…

So THAT'S what juice is supposed to taste like!
I have recently started drinking a new juice, this isn't the kind of juice I grew up drinking (that was mostly sugar and water) but this is honest to goodness real food! It's thick and green, has broccoli and apples and spinach, things I thought would make me sick liquefying it together!! But do you know what? I LOVE IT!…

Does stress make you gian?
OPPS make that GAIN!!! To start, I had one of the most horrible days of my life yesterday. I caught my boss stealing customers from me(essentially stealing money from me) and had a HUGE fight with him, almost quite my job of 5.5 years. I made it through the day without bingeing or drinking the bottle of wine I would have…

Not a NSV, maybe a NS realization?
This weekend my Fiancé went out to buy dog food for our Beagle,he picked up the largest bag they sell and when I went to grab it out of the trunk and bring it in the house he stopped me and said, no way that's too heavy, I got it! I looked at the weight of the bag... it was 35lbs! Exactly what I’ve lost! I said to him you…

Are there certin foods you just had to give up?
Even if they reasonably can be kept in your diet? I ask because I just had peanut butter for the first time in almost 5 months, now I feel like I've just started down a slippery slope, which is crazy because I've had worse things since I've been on this. The thing is though, I LOVE peanut butter, I LOVE it and I fear now…

Zumba for PS3 Move
Anyone tried it? I've never done Zumba before but since I can no longer do the 30 day Shred I'm looking for a new workout. Is it worth the money?

Do you eat until your full or just until your not hungry?
This may sound strange but since I've been on this new healthy life style I try to eat only until I’m not hungry anymore not until I'm full. My fiancée says I'm crazy that they are the same thing but to me not being hungry anymore comes WAY before I'm full, am I nuts or does anyone else do this and see the difference?
-
Mike & Molly
Does anyone else watch this show? I love it! To me it's a more real look at the average person(not some size 0 who most people can't relate to) , I like that it's not all about thier weight but that they do show some of the struggles that come with being overweight!

Strange NSV
This might be a little TMI for the men out there! My fiancé and I have been trying to conceive for a few months, I've always had very high estrogen which can be a big problem when TTC. I seem to ovulate really early in my cycle. I knew losing weight should help this as high estrogen can be caused by being overweight. Well…

Bad morning but a great NVS!
What a crazy morning I had, woke up and got on the scale at 5:30AM down to 215.2!! DO a happy dance and step back on the scale just to see the number again, up to 219.2 :-( Now I want to cry. Get to work and realize I forgot my keys, I live over an hour away and no one comes in for 30-60 minutes after me so I have a…

Come and jump on our bandwagon!
I've talked here before about how a lot of my friends are on a very specific Dr. supervised diet, they've lost a lot of weight and have done fantastically. But so have I!! I've lost 32 pounds doing nothing but counting calories and doing some moderate exercise. So now another one of my friends has joined this diet and that…

Not sleeping
This is a vent and a question, I haven't been sleeping at all lately, I mean at ALL I've slept about 3 hours in the last 3 days. I've always had insomnia and I’ve tried all my tricks but nothing is working, not the melatonin I swear by, not neo citron, I'm go go go all day and still not sleeping at night. I can fall asleep…

I had 4 LARGE Rubbermaid’s full of clothes, I spent the day going through them and ending up with about2/3rds of a bins worth that might actually fit me right now. Nothing fits!!!! My fiancé…

Stay, stay , stay, BIG drop, little gain, stay, stay
Stay, stay , stay, BIG drop, little gain, stay, stay, stay. It's crazy since I've started this is the pattern I follow, I never lose consistently, it's not like I go down a few ounces a day I have a big drop of like 4-5lbs in a couple of days then I gain 1 or 2 back and stay that way for a couple of weeks. Then another big…

My stepson is too cute!
This weekend we went to my fiancé parents house, lost of food there plus I brought cupcakes for everyone. I declined to have any and jokingly said " I have a wedding dress I have to fit into!" Well a little while later my stepson notices my fiancé is on his 3rd cupcake and says to his Daddy "Daddy you better stop eating…

Not obsessing means I'm not doing this right
This weekend was crazy for me, we had my step son, I had a ton of wedding stuff to take care of I basically went until I dropped Friday thru Sunday. I stuck to my diet, didn't eat any differently but somehow I feel like I cheated. I think if I'm not obsessing over my weight and every piece of food I put in my mouth I feel…

Things people say that drive you nuts!
Uggg I am getting so frustrated with people telling me how wrong I am when it comes to trying to live a healthy life style! First thing, the thing that drives me the most mad is my Mom insisting that they have "proven" you don't need to drink water, that if you eat a healthy diet with fresh fruit and vegetables you don't…

Why am I scared
Why am I scared to say I really want to lose 100lbs? I started saying I want to lose 60lbs, that wouldn't even take me out of the obese category. Then I said ok well I really want to lose 85lbs. Now the thing is I REALLY want to lose 100lbs, it will bring me right into the healthy category for my height and I've been there…

What has the biggest affect on you
Last night my fiancé and I were watching Biggest Loser and he asked me an interesting question, what affects your weight the most, what do you focus on the most with your diet? Is it calories, carbs, protein, fat? Hmmmm well for me I told him, I find it most important to stay within my calories, never going too far over or…
