Good Morning TO ALL. Thanks for the great .
I think that eating breakfast is the right thing to do it gets your metabolisim started for the day. I used to never eat until lunch, because I wasn't hungry and then once I started eating...I didn't want to stop. But now eating breakfast I really don't get hungry and have trouble eating all my points for the day.

Hi everyone! I'm back!! Do you remember me?
I lost almost 9 pounds!!
YAy for me )

thanks you guys!!! you are the best!!! you guys are so right. we all have off days. but it's hard to get back on once you go off, kwim? but i'm back now. today is a new day. i'm going to the grocery store at some point. pickings are slim around here today. and i WILL track my food, stay in points and today!
want2behealthy:i definately think you should try eating breakfast. kiwi is right. it jump starts your metabolism and should help. as far as your calories...i KNOW you sho uldn't go under 1000, but maybe you could do some research to find out what you SHOULD be eating for your height/weight. in fact i'll google it today if i get a chance. maybe 1000 isn't enough? i really don't know. the weight will come off! i know you can do it!
back neverland!! we missed you!!
9lbs is great!!! how'd you do it girl?
ok. i'll be in later to check in!
love you all!

Congrats Neverland!!! How exciting!! Its nice to see you back.

want2behealthy, I agree with scalewatcher, I used to compain that if I ate breakfast I was hungry all day long but actually, when I eat breakfast I think it boost my metab. and I have more energy. Besides your name says "want2behealthy" so eating breakfast is healthy so you have to do it. Also, I agree with Momtu2, you need more calories. I think for your current weight yu should be eating 1400 calories. If you eat less, your body thinks its starving and will start hanging on to the fat.

Momtu2, Its great to hear you pulled through the temptation trial . I thought of something else last night about your husband. Men's metab. is so different than women. They can put it on but it seems easier for them to get it off. So we can't get away with what they seem too.

Well, i weighed this morning and was VERY excited about the scales! I'm not changing anything until Friday because I know how scales go up and down. As a matter of fact, I was soooo excited that they dropped that much. I wouldn't get back on to see if it was correct!!

Talk to you later

Kiwi

Okay so far today I have had B/F 1 WW English egg muffin. (that thing is good)
For lunch I had a home made grilled chicken salad. It was good but it didn't sit well. I think it was to much chicken. I have had water and D/Pepsi. You know I can't even drink a regular coke now. Ugggh!

Heather and I Instant Message each other at night and on the IM we have games. So we played Chess last night until late. I won!! Its funny playing games with someone over the computer. She has a Mic so I can hear her talking to me. Its funny.

Anyway, its raining around here and I am bored and don't feel like cleaning yet. So I thought I would write a few lines before I force myself to clean. I guess I could go exercise.



Kiwi

want2behealthy:kiwi is right. you should be eating about 1400 calories a day. and about.com says NEVER under 1200 w/o a dr's orders. so i think you've plateued because you aren't eating enough. also remember if you are working out you need to eat a little more. it will happen for you!!!
so far today i'm doing *ok*. slowly getting back on the wagon!! can't grocery shop until after nap time (the kids not mine! ) so i've been making do w/what i have around here. but i put in a great workout and upped my intensity a bit too.
luv ya gals!
tracy

back Neverland! and I have the same question momtu2 has how did you do it!!!

Your all right I am going to start eating breakfast to see if that changes anything hopefully it well

Kiwi can I buy the WW breakfast/snakes even if I'm not a member on line? I've looked for them at the grocery stores and haven't found them??

Weight Watchers is under the name of "SMART ONES" You can find them in the frozen department at walmart or any grogery store. I love their breakfast and snack food. Try the Eclairs. ooooohhhh!!! I looooove snacking ......Obviously, since I weigh the most of all of you. But that's okay, I see myself in a size 8 wearing something classy!!

Kiwi

hi girls!!
so i've ended up my day pretty well. i only ended up eating 1/2 my dinner cuz my MIL called while i had my 2y/o on the potty, my 9mos old in the high chair and i was cooking my dinner. so it got burned. we had soup and grilled cheese. sounds bad, but i used the healthy choice soup and *i can't believe it's not butter* spray and fat free cheese. and i burned one side of my bread so i only ate half. lol! so not bad. it's nasty cold round here so i'm going to have some tea and possibly to low fat oreos before bed time.
want2be: you can find WW food at most grocery stores, and like kiwi said, wal mart. just look for stuff with the WW logo on it. they have muffins, snacks, ice cream (these are soooo good), english muffins, bagels, yogurt, fruit smoothie things. it's all yummy too. i especially love the chocolate muffins adn the ice cream sandwiches. also, those 100cal snack packs (not WW) are great and low in calories and points.
ya'll have a great night.

Good Evening everyone

I hope everyone had a good day! Thanks Kiwi all look for the snacks and the breakfast items, and all try the Eclairs I'm sorry momtu2 that you only got to eat half your dinner, You know I'm so weak when it comes to chocolate it's like I can't see or hear anything if they only made fat free suger free!! Anyways I did work out though I did an hr in the morning and an hr in the evening it's hard when hubby is home though he complains about it I wish he understood.

talk to you all tomorrow, tanya

Good Morning,

Tracy I can't believe its Cold where you are at! We are still swimming and enjoying the beaches around these parts.

Sorry I was MIA last night. I was so tired for some reason so after Dinner I went to bed. Worst time to go to bed I know but I got in some exercise before I actually closed my eyes.

Dinner consisted of Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice and Egg Roll ( hubby brought home dinner ) I only ate a small potion of all because I wasn't sure how to count the calories.

When I had picked up my Kindergardener, (grandchild) we went to Sonics for a milk shake. I had a Diet Cherry Limeade. Man those are good!! Cures my sweet tooth. They always put a cherry in the bottom of the cup under the ice so its like a surpise after you eat all the ice.(i'm a kid at heart)

Tracy and Tanya I wish I was as faithful to exercise as you two are!

I saw a old friend of mine who started "Curves" 10 months ago. She was bigger than me when she started and now she looks great! She goes to curves 3 times a day. Walks every morning. Shes' probably dropped 4 dress sizes. She tried to get me to start Curves but I feel like if I won't consistently exercise at home being at a gym isn't going to make me do it. Besides I have free access to a gym on the Military base. I just don't go. Grrrr.

Okay I'm going to go exercise!! Right now!!

Love ya
Kiwi

Hello everyone! I'm new although I knew Kiwi24 in a previous life. Thanks for inviting me to join yall. I've done the diet thing before and was most serious the last time. I lose 44 pounds, but then I just fell off the wagon with no real rhyme or reason. And I had no one checking in on me outside of here, so if I didn't come here I didn't have to face it. Thankfully I haven't gained but 6 pounds back since I fell off the wagon...I guess some of my decent eating habits stuck with me. It's time to pick up the pieces and start off again with a fresh start and go for it...on last try to not give up. I hope to get to know yall well. Talk to you soon.

Hey ladies! I have been busy the past few days. We are visiting my parents and we are swimming and playing so I have been busy but I have been good about staying on my South Beach Diet. Hopefully, it will show on the scales on Friday! I am actually excited about it. I really think I can make my Halloween goal and maybe I will meet it sooner. Looks like everyone else is doing really good too.

tigger!! glad to see you join us!!

kiwimg. it was so cold yesterday i had to put my heat on!! today it's sunny and in the 60's so it's pretty nice.
