Is it just me, or is this a HUGE accomplishment? Wow that's soooo amazing. You must have people complimenting you all the time, gotta love that. So, where are your progress photos? Uh?
Keep up the great work you guys... seriously, when I came her 7 weeks ago I was STUCK. Just got back from the doctor at 307 pounds... I was so heart broken. Now I am 36 pounds down... not too shabby. Just believe in yourselves and decide if you (or that dessert) is stronger! |

I so understand where you're coming from. I've struggle for years to find "my time" for exercise. I have two kids and a spouse. One of the kids is a teen, one is a preteen, so there are after school things, then there's dinner (and I feel strongly about us all eating together most nights), there's the fact that I'm bushed from working all day, and of course the fact that I can't sleep well if I exercise too closely to bed time. I have to be done with it before 6 p.m.
So fast forward to April 12th, when I finally decided that mornings were really the only time I don't have an excuse (other than it being morning). I'm a morning person by nature, and I've seen someone else (almeeker?) refer to "not being awake enough to have an excuse". It works for me. I've come to the conclusion that every person just needs to be able to find the time that really works for them and be willing to stick with it. Good luck to you! |

Skinny Erin, you are hilarious. That's just what I needed this morning. Now I can face that workout - maybe.

wishes- healthy weekend for all
it's so inspiring to hear from everyone- you all make me so happy to hear that dispite the trouble and challenges that our lives bring- everyone has stress and situations that arise to tempt us, everyone seems to be determined not to give in. great job all!
almeeker- sorry you seemed to be having a bad day- have some fun today and don't look back - look forward montanacricket- great job - keep up the good work cc1158 so glad to hear from you- I weigh everyday too can't seem to help it, but don't stress out on the number as long as it doesn't go up by more than a 1.5 lbs- stress, water gain, and other factors can effect the scale but it gives me some idea daily of what is working. desertmountain - sorry about the weather hope you crops will be ok - the only thing I can seem to grow is on farmville.com lol |
New to the lifestyle change and forum
I am new to the forum and to a new start on a total lifestyle change. I started my journey at 256 lbs attempting to do the "6 week body make over." I was miserable, but was losing. I got down to 246. Now I have taken the lessons I learned from the other program and made it my own. I am still eating 6 times a day and walking daily, but I am having dairy. I am still limiting my bread intake, but enjoying options again. I am now using the Fitday tools to track my calories and activity and feel I am well on my way to a new me. At 5'4", I have 100.4 lbs to lose to reach my ideal weight. :eek: but I am going to take it off and keep it off!!:)

Jennwilliams - I am also new to the board - welcome!
Just a quick victory for the day...DH had a friend over to work in the garage today and they wanted pizza and beer for dinner. I ordered only enough calzones for the two of them so there was no chance I would eat any. Instead, I am having a sort-of-guilty pleasure...steel cut oats with splenda brown sugar and skim milk. And I'm well within my calories for the day at only 1,300. Weekends are always hard for me, so I gotta celebrate the little things! |
So glad to see I am not alone in this. I have done missed my thirty as I will be 31 on Monday, so my goal is 146 by my Master's Graduation: May 2011

celebrated but didn't gain!
Last night I went out to celebrate my daughters 25th birthday. went light on lunch but splurged on dinner salad, rolls, and lasagna(shared my husband's dinner -his salad and lasagna-1/3 of his 3 pasta dinner) best that I could figure I was around 1800. but this morning only went up a couple of oz.
Dealing with stress without eating is a struggle for me but hoping the stress will ease up a bit as things appear to be getting better between my daughter and my parents. Since I'm not a morning person, I guess it will have to be watching evening tv and getting on the treadmill, maybe this weekend. |
