STOP RIGHT NOW! ;) PUT THE SALSA DOWN, AND MOVE AWAY. :nono:

I am 5'7" and weigh 150. So long as I can maintain I'll be happy. But, the weight work and ab work are toning my muscles and things are getting looser on me (except for the waist :lol: )

Onward to the weekend and, hopefully, an On Program weekend. I tend to forget to keep track of what I'm eating. Maybe that's why my waist is filling out!!!! :o

Have a good weekend, all.

Bonnie, Why don't you make your own salsa then you can control the amount of salt you consume. It's really not difficult to make. Tomatoes,onions and cilantro and maybe some chiles if you like it hot.
My highest weight was 226 and I went down to 143 but am up to 195 but would like to be at 135 as I'm 5 ft 1 1/2 inches and medium boned.
I'm starting to slip after seeing such great deals on Hagen Daz ice cream. 1.99 a pint. Yum Yum-Bad -Bad Went to water aerobics and I can't move. The instructor really puts us thru the paces. Love it tho.
It's been raining like crazy. Torrential downpours with flooding in many areas.
This has been some weird summer.

Hi to all I am back not doing to good but I am staying the same just need to get a kick start again I am still walking and eating healthy i am geting smaller but not on the scales I will have to try a little harder Hey I see a lot of new names I will have to bread back a few pages Hi to soready par suzq55 and kriseliz and and all the new ladies

:?: :?: :lol: :lol: Hi to Bonnie broad I see now you changed your name :?: Jean

Today I have started again in earnest. Last night was a disaster. The freezer kept calling me to eat the ice cream and the funny thing is I'm not an ice cream lover. I like large portions of food.Salty things are not my bag either, I don't use much even in cooking and that goes back to the days when my Dad wasn't allowed salt so growing up never developed a taste for it. I've been known to send food back in a restuarant because the food was so salty. I think I am buying a food scale and going to start to measure my food. I have big eyes and don't know what a real portion should be. My daughter joined sparkspeople.com on the internet and so far is doing well. I don't think I need to pay for diet help as by this age enough people have made money off my fat and I know what I have to do. Wish me luck. Thhe real test comes tonight as we are going out for dinner with friends. Bernice

:) Hello everyone: Hope you all are doing well. Wanna know my weight huh?
Ugh. The highest I have ever been in my whole life was I think 212. :o :( At 5 feet 3 thats pretty scary. I started this newest self improvement at 178 and just the other day I weighed in a 170 :) So! I am pleased with myself for that. Bonnie I also love salt. Don't know why. I also am addicted to peanut butter. :?: I just don't get that one. So.........I don't have peanut butter in the house. The dynamics of obesity (or overweightedness!)!!! I eat when I am stressed or tired. How about everybody else??? I often am very impressed with the dramatic weight losses of the gastric bypass/stapling surgeries but I wonder if People will gain the weight back? I don't eat because I am hungry!! What do you all think? Starting to feel better now. I hope none of you gets that upper respiratory infection. Yuk! sure glad I don't smoke anymore! Linda

Hello to day is SAt and so far I am doing good did with out Breakfast had lunch at 11:00 Salmon sandwich pea soup and grapes lots of water . :coffee: I think the most I weigh was 210 Lbs I am 5'5" and now I am 174 or 175 . I too like peanut butter but I am not giving it up I do with out cookies and chocolate so when I want something it is peanut butter and crackers I am just finding out what hunger and full means it takes along time to learn how to eat to be healthy I have been trying for along time :D :D well thats all I have to say for now Jean

:lol: Ok Bonnie, Where do you get this stuff? :) I often wondered about my "frame" I am average I guess. How about anybody else? Just had some dry popcorn. I wish I had a WHOLE jar of peanut butter!!!! But I can't have even one. "one is never enough" In my line of work!! :lol: Linda
