Well my mini goal is 180 I can not believe that I got back up to 200 again. My heart is going to pay me back when i get older.

Wish me luck!

[Sunnigummi]

GOOD LUCK!!! You can do it! Weight jumps happen. I've had two in the past 6 months. This time, I'm finally overcoming and dropping and so can you!!!

[JayEll]

bethmart, you can do it! And don't worry--your heart will be fine. Stay active--go for walks--get some physical activity in your day!

We'll be here to help!

[bethmart]

Thanks. As I sit here and sip my grapefruit juice I know I can do it lol

[lumifan4ever]

Of course you can do it...look at the 85 you have already lost. Obviously you know what to do. You can do this....just stay positive and keep going!!!!

Im proud of myself the only sweet thing I ate Today was Frosted flakes. But I added a banana so I wouldnt eat as much cereal. Cant fit alot of ceral in a bowl if you put a sliced up banana in there.

I only drank 5 cans of diet coke. That seems like a lot but its not for me.

That is the only sweet stuff I had. I count the soda.

I have fruits and veggies the rest of the day. My body feels good.

Yesturday I washed my car and weeded for extra activity and Today I walked the dog and gave him a bath.

I have a dr appointment tomarrow and I am going to donate blood. Then later on I have a meeting at my daughters school. But sometime sureing the day mydaughter wants to go pick up the trash around our neighborhood.

Shes 5 isnt that cool!! If I were a kid I dont think I would even notice the trash. She noticed it when we were walking and wanted to pick it up. I said no she needed gloves on.....GERMS!!!

So I went looking for what my ideal weight should be.

121 - 160 lb Medical Recommendation 121 I would surely look dead thats how much my bones weigh


Your current Body Mass Index is 31.3

This one said

Ideal weight range is 148 - 162.8 lbs. (67.3 - 74 kg.).
You are overweight by 37.2 lbs. (17 kg.).
You may wish to consult with your physician for medical help.

I like that one better


is there an accurate one out there? And how do you truly tell your frame size? That one said wrap my fingers around my wrist..... I have big long hands and small wrists but I have to think I am big boned. Im a mens eleven in shoes my color bones sticks out even now when I am 200. My hands are bigger than my bfs lol I got long skinny fingers. I pelvic bone sticks out too....Weird

[Shayz]

Those were both very interesting...ty!

[JayEll]

Keep going bethmart! You're learning a lot!

I don't trust those on-line sites too much--each one seems to have a different number. According to the body frame, I would have to get down to my bones too!

The BMI numbers are a good guide for weight range, even though the BMI is a very general thing and not always accurate.

Body fat percentage is another good measurement, but you just can't find this out on-line. Some of the bathroom scales these days will measure it but it's only an estimate. Still useful.

Good for you for making those changes! Small changes, little bit at a time--it adds up if you keep with it. Try Special K instead of Frosted Flakes. Try making your own soda by adding sparkling water to some fruit juice.

Good for you! And your child--how great it is that she would want to help clean up the neighborhood, and how great that you will help! That just makes me feel so happy!

Well another day has passed. I woke up feeling good Today. I usually wake up and go back into a coma and want to sleep all day. But Today I really feel good.

Thanks for all the support it is so helpful. When I think about going to the kitchen for a snack I think of you guys here. Late last night/ This morning I was awake and wanting a snack. Late at night is one of my worst eating times because I am alone. I chose one little pack of oatmeal. The pack that you just add 1/2 cup of water to it.

It took away the hungry feeling I had.

[JayEll]

Oatmeal--a good choice! You're doin' it!

Jay

[bethmart]

Another day is passing and I am binge free!!!!

[JayEll]

Yessss!!! Go! Go! Go!

Jay

[bethmart]

Thanks. I am kinda cheating in a way. For A few days after my "friend" comes to visit ( my period) I tend to lose my appetite. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this why we binge before it starts because we loose our appetite after it starts?

[bethmart]

Ok so last night I ate BAD!!!! I started working in a new area of the sotre Sunday and it about killed me. Its alot more work than the other area I was in. Its alot more heavy lifting. Anyways when I got home I was hungry and super tired. I just know I burned way to many calories at work so I had a bad dinner.

I ate a Hamburger and hot dog and about 30 tater tots. I figured my body burned that many calories at work so i called it even ha ha ha
