Vitatops
I recently heard about Vitatops on here. I googled it to find out more info, and they look like something I'd like to try. Where do you find them, though? I couldn't find them at Wal-Mart yesterday, but then, Wally world doesn't always carry everything. Do you have to order them on-line? Or should I keep checking other…

Triathlon training for 1yr from now
Hi! I've decided to set a goal of participating in a triathlon next June!!! I'm so excited! I plan to lose an additional 100 lbs between now and then, while ramping up my training slowly to prepare. I've always wanted to compete in a triathlon, and now I'm going to DO IT! Anyone else out there want to join me in this goal?…

Can you taste that?!?!
Yesterday I was eating something that I don't normally eat anymore, I can't even remember what it was now, but as I ate it I realized that I could actually TASTE the gross preservatives and crap that they had added. It had this nasty chemical flavor and I recognized it distinctly. I guess that's a pretty big NSV for me,…

Sugar! Sugar!
Do any of you watch your sugar stats carefully? What the heck do you eat?! I'm considering monitoring mine, but 1 glass of milk took 1/3 of my allotted sugars! I don't want to do extreme low carb, some meats now and then but not tons. I would love to hear your input!

Five best and worst choices at Mcdonald's SURPRISE!
With five young children, it is inevitable that I will end up at Mcdonald's once in a while despite my best efforts to avoid it. After a morning full of wild and crazy children, and a unseasonably cold spring day, a trip to the play place at Mcdonald's was sounding like sweet relief for me and my house. I decided to try…

Healthy freezer meal ideas?
My Dad just went home from the hospital today after a total knee replacement. My step-mom is not in the best of health, so we are going to be taking meals into them for a while. I have been interested in learning more about freezer meals, and this seems the perfect time to learn so that I can take some things to them that…

What's the best scale?
I need a new scale. The one I have is completely unreliable. Today I must have stepped on the scale 30 times and got a different weight almost every time with a range of 13 pounds! What do you use? It has to have a weight capacity of at least 310 or so, which is part of the problem. Any help or suggestions would be…

Nummy breakfast (or dessert for that matter)
Two Nutri-grain low fat waffles, 1 tsp of Nutella spread on each waffle (total of 2 tsp) 1/2 C of cut up strawberries on top and a drizzle of 1 tsp Agave nectar. Total of 263 calories, 7 protein and 5 fiber. It is DELICIOUS!! If I was going to do it for dessert I would just do one waffle with some light whipped cream on…

Temper, temper
I need help!!! I succumbed to my nasty temper AGAIN today. Arrrrrgh. I keep thinking and believing that my temper will be so much better once I lose weight. Is this true? Right now, I am very low energy, which means that we are usually running late, my house isn't as clean and organized as I would like it to be, and that I…

hopeless
I am feeling really hopeless right now. I got a new scale today and it shows 4lbs higher than my (obviously very inaccurate and hated) old scale did. I need some motivation, more friends and new hope to get me through this. I have been trying so hard and, no matter the reason, that number going significantly up instead of…

Discouraged
I am feeling really, REALLY discouraged right now! I have been being SO good with my eating and doing some exercise every day, and I gained weight two days in a row and stayed the same yesterday. I know it's probably just water weight or my body fighting me for some reason, but I can't help but feel frustrated and annoyed…

Howdy!
My name is Susan. I am the mother of 5 beautiful, adopted children who light up my life along with my wonderful hubby. I have about 180 pounds to lose. I need all the help I can get. I have been overweight since I was about 9 or 10. Everyone used to tell me that I was 'big boned'. I don't like that label. It makes it seem…
