Default Starting over

Hi

Well here I go starting over. I have never weighed this much before. If I don't stay on track this time I will keep gaining and gaining. I hope I make it passsed the first day.

I thought that by walking 20 mins. a day the pounds would melt off. I guess that doesn't mean I can eat as much as I want. I am just not one of those girls.

My trip to Floridia is just 8 months away. Will I be a bathing beauty or a beached whale???? Shamu is cute--no just kidding.

On the positive note I did not eat much for dinner last night and somehow dropped 4 lbs between last night and this morning. I will report that just to make myself feel good.

That's all for now

We can do this! I am also new to this site and also looking to lose 100 lbs. I ate alot less than I usually do today and instead of coming home and watching the rerun of "How I Met Your Mother" and have a snack... I decided to go online. I read your post and you know what. Thanks to you I jumped on the bike and went 4.5 miles. I feel incredible!
Have a great week and good luck!

Thank you for the encouragement. Also I am glad that we can use this site to help motivate one another.

I did good today with making good choices and portion control. Now if I can just make it to bed without having a snack

Ofcoarse I can... this isn't the 'Last Supper'. I'll be able to eat tomarrow

Hi and to 3fc. You will love it here. The ladies are so supportive and very knowledgeable. You CAN and will be a bathing beauty. The first couple of weeks are definitely the hardest. But once you get past that and you see how well you've done it really does get easier. Post often so we get to know you. Best of luck.

Talking We are in this together!!!!

Welcome Two Peas. I am a chronic "starter overer". But I want the cycle to stop here. This is great site and the support is great. It doesn't feel you are so alone in this "Fight against the Flab". I live in Florida and I know how it feels to want to wear some cute summer outfits but can't. I myself would like to wear a sexy bathing suit come next summer. So lets push each other and we can make it.






Happy Halloween!!!

So far so good. I've managed to served the baked pasta without eating it myself. (I am a cook in a daycare). I've managed to pass on the hotdog buns and tator tots--the hotdog without the bun and salad was good. I even managed to 'passover' the Halloween candy as I passed it out at daycare today. (I am low carb).

I think I'll be okay not eating candy--I've got SF candy. My worst fear is that I have been invited to an after treak or treat party tonight. Yeeks!!! There will be food...lots and lots of food. Chile is the main course which would be okay if I knew how it was made (sugar could mess me up). I love chile. Maybe I'll bring some lowcarb snacks to munch on and some vegtables.

My daughter is trying hard too--It is hard for here because everyone at school is eating candy.
