really quite here.....how is everyone doing?
How is everyone doing? losing, gaining, maintaining? Today I have reached what I call my brick wall weight (136.2). I have been here a few (very few) times before but as soon as I get to this point I start going back up and then start the cycle over. I am determined to brake through this brick wall. I am tired of losing…

Its June....how is everyone doing?
How is everyone doing? I have been gaining and losing the same pounds, but at least I am not just gaining :) I guess I could say I have been maintaining. Now that summer weather is here I am able to go to the track everyday, so I hope June will be my month. On the bright side..... I renewed my drivers license yesterday and…

Week of feb 13 to feb 19 : Goals and Results
Starting the week with a 1.4 loss so I am happy! I told my husband no valentine candy, because I would eat the whole box in a day or two. Last week we had a lot of nice days, so I was able to go walking. The warm weather helps motivate me to eat right and exercise, which is probable why I had the loss. I need to stop being…

Week of Jan 23 to Jan 29: Goals and Results
Up 2.2 pounds. Frustrating, but when you eat everything in sight, its bound to happen. I wonder if I just sabotage myself. I got down to 136 and every time I get to that point I go right back up. I usually go back up to 145+ and then start the cycle all over again. Words are very powerful. This time I will NOT keep going…

Chit Chat, share recipes, idea, etc.
I thought it would be fun to have a place where we can share recipes, ideas, or talk about what ever we wanted to talk about. I wanted to share a new recipe I just tried. Its from the website Skinny Taste and is called "Dad's Creamy Cauliflower Soup". It tastes like potato soup. Very good. I did tweak it a bit. I added a…

What was your ahh-ha moment that made you decide to lose weight?
I have a couple of heavy family members. A few years ago at a family gathering we took a family photo. My brother decided to make a calendar and made the picture to be the cover and gave it to everyone. As I looked at the picture, I suddenly realized that I am one of the heavy family members. That evening I held up a pair…

Question about hair texture (women)
This maybe a off beat question...but has anyone noticed a difference in the texture of their hair? I use to have the best hair. Not too thin, not to thick, straight but would hold a curl, etc. I am not sure if its menopause related (hormones) but the texture of my hair has changed dramatically. When I first wash it and its…

Anyone lifting weights?
I was just wondering if anyone toned their arms by lifting weights. I would sure like to be able to wear tanks this summer and have my arms look good. If you got good results are you using more weights/less reps or more reps/less weights?
