Down a pant size
I was looking for something to wear. My jeans were dirty. Those black jeans I could never wear because I couldn't hold my stomach in enough were glaring at me from between the clothes around it. I locked eyes on it for a minute and thought....'ya know...I just wanna see...' I slipped them on and to my surprise!!! THEY FIT!…

GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME
:explode: Ha ha...I was really good at work. I had ordered 6 boxes before I started the diet and the girl that sold them to me felt bad and only made me pay for 4 of them. I gave 2 away when I got them yesterday. I held 2 boxes for my husband. When I got home....:explode: BAM! I exploded....into the box of cookies...I…

Eliminating stress
What have you guys done to relieve stress in your lives to make this new healthy endevour work? Personally, besides changing my eating habits, I'm learning my limits. I'm also learning that it's OKAY to admit my shortcomings. People tend to be okay with that. I'm gaining more confidence. Someone told me the other day,…

Your inspiration
1) Who inspires you the most and why? 2) Who has been the most supportive of your healthy endevours? 3) When you are stressed out, what do you do? 4) Why have you started these new healthy habits? (what brought you to the realization that you needed to do SOMETHING, or else...:explode: ).

Loosing weight!
I've lost 9 pounds in 9 days! I went to see one of my doctors today and she was so impressed by this website. She is excited for me. I have made a binder with daily motivations and funny jokes pertaining to dieting. I have the folder broken down into weeks...on the food diary, I take advantage of the notes section on my…

Stress eating
Well.....since I've started this diet a week ago, I've lost 6 pounds... I have been pretty successful with my emotional eating. I haven't been running to food for comfort. But I can tell you, it feels like a ton of bricks when the stress comes my way....I tend to be more nervous for longer periods of time. Talking to a…

You can still eat a lot of food
I am absolutely floored by the amount of food that I'm eating and still staying within my calorie goals. My medical team put me at 1400 - 1450 cal a day based on my inactivity...here it is 330pm, and I haven't even taken in 1000 cals yet. I've had 2 full meals, 2 snacks, 4-8oz of water....1 cup of coffee...I'm shocked. I…

I can't believe how well I'm doing
I really didn't think that I was going to survive yesterday....And I didn't think that it was going to be this exciting as well as accomplishable (is that a word?). Yesterday, I had a lot of stressors being thrown at me. It seemed heightened. I wasn't able to run to my comfort foods. I took every single advice I got from…

Emotional eating
Does anyone else emotional eat? I do. Or did. This is the 2nd day of my new eating patterns. I'm having a hard emotional day today. I just hung the phone up with my husband. We were talking. I feel so nervous today. Like on the inside...all bound up...It's very odd. I feel like I need to call my doctor. I'm so unsure…

Water consumption
I have to say that on average 8 glasses a day is the right amount, but I believe, I could be wrong, that the amount of water someone should drink is also based on their BMI. 8-8oz glasses may not be appropriate for someone who is nearly 300 lbs, because it may not be enough. When I was in school in a nutrition class, they…

Hi. I'm new here.
Hi. Um...what to say. Well, I'm overweight. And not by 10 or 15 pounds. More like 82 lbs. I gave up on all the market quick fixes....and some of my own plans....as well as 1 that cost me a fortune. I had to buy their foods...it was too much. I have a stressful job and lately, I have had some health issues related to my…
