Well i finished my 3 day jump start and weighed myself today and i lost 2lbs YEAH!!! I do not know how much my DH lost as he forgot to weigh himself i will now go back to measuring my food and using a smaller plate
why is it that when we lose weight it never where you need to lose it my legs are getting smaller and firmer but i need to lose most of my weight in my torso so it makes my gut look bigger
I am at work tonight and will exercise a couple of time this weekend and weigh in on Monday and see if I can maybe drop one more lb by then
butterfly hang in there and as Kiwi said start with small changes and when you start to exercise do not over do it work up to more and more start with 10 or 15 minutes and add about 5 minutes more each week and try to find an exercise you like to do make little changes each week good luck

Talk later suz

Kiwi things went well for me last night. I got a little hungry so I snacked on some fresh cantaolpe and then a little bit of sugar free Pudding. Other then that water went well. I am going to try to a little more today. Hopefully some exercise too. So let me eat and I will check in with you Later.

Alright Suz!! I'm so glad that gave you the boost you needed. It did the same to me. If I get hung up again it will be worth doing again. So far so good on WW. I can't wait to see what my weight is Saturday at WW. I weighed in with them at 193.5 (of course that's with clothes on.) I'm thinking there is a 4 pound difference in there scales and mine. I'm expecting a 4 pound weight loss with them but hoping for a 5 because I get a Key chain at 5 pounds!! ha ha ha

Way to go bonnie! Be sure you don't get hungry through out the day. You need to be satisfied when you eat. Not stuffed but satisfied. If you are eating just light snack foods you are going to stay hungry and eventually binge. Eat good meals. By that I mean healthy. If you are eating healthy you won't crave to snack as often which can cause a binge.

Kiwi Have some bad news I am soo steaming it isnt funny Was all gared up to do One of my Leslie sansone WATP DvD When I popped it in and Found out that my Husband has disconnected it I was sooo steaming. So I spent 1hr taking my fustration out on Cleaning my sun room.

I was feeling kinda not soo good so I had a samll bowl of Frosted Flakes for lunch. Im feeling better right now and I am have some turkey Breast and some cantalope. I have only drank one bottle of water but Iam getting ready for my next one. More happy news later..

hey y'all! So, I totally suck with posting on here lately. I've given up saying that I'll post more cause it's not likely. I've been trying to keep up with reading your posts, and I must say it's quite discouraging. Y'all are doing SO much better than me! so yea to y'all for that!

I just cannot get with it. I don't know what my deal is. I feel like giving up. Actually, I feel like I gave up about 2 months ago. argh!!!

I watched Super Size Me last night/this morning. I can see where a lot of people criticize it. "there is not anyone who eats it that much" Well, I'm sure there are. Also, the crap he ate is the same as other crap. It just has a name brand on it. The movie was quite inspiring. I did okay today even. My only problem was that I caved and bought a cherry coke. I had an extremely difficult class (mostly hit my emotions and stuff, very odd) and I caved.

I work tonight though, so that's good.

Well, I think I've rambled on about enough. Have a great weekend!

[Kiwi24]

Missindy its good to hear from you. I really think part of what helps me lose is being accountable to everyone here. So don't give up on us. We're here if you need us.

Bonnie you are doing great keep it up.

I've been doing really good but tonight we went out with friends and ate at a Mexican restaurant. I drank water and NO chips. I guess we'll know tomorrow if I over did it.

I have dachshunds. Weiner dogs. My dog had puppies. They are 2 days old. One is Black and tan and the other is white with black spots. The daddy is a miniature dapple dachshund and the mother is miniature black and tan. Soooo cute!

Well I'm beat! I'll chat later

missindy don't give up we all know you can do it It all depends on how much you really want it YOU CAN DO IT

Kiwi when you weigh in today at WW make sure you are wearing the same thinge you had on last week One lady from my WW days always weighed in shorts and T shirt

I did not exercise yesterday when I got home from work at 730am my DH had been up since 430am my older dog got him up and then he could not get to sleep , so he and I went to sleep and got up about 1130am we ate then I did some house work I will exercise today

Hope everyone else is doing well suz

Hi Everyone!!!!

Suz whoo hoo on your weight loss!!! You go girl you are on your way!!

Kiwi Good luck at WW this morning, I think that you will be pleasantly surprised. I hope the scales are good to you! :

Missindy, Please do not give up...... weight loss is a journey and on every journey you are bound to run into a few obstacles, key is to NOT let the obstacles steer you off course. You can do this, just give yourself the time!

Bonnie good luck with your baby steps, everybit helps.

As for me it has been one heck of a week, I have been in meeting after meeting after meeting and when I get home it seemed like my phone never stopped ringing I have stayed on track with my eating I have done at least 1 hour PA (physical activity) each day so far...it will be hard today, cuz Aunt Flo will visit any day now... I weigh in on Monday so I am hoping for a nice loss
I went shopping yesterday, just cuz Kohl's has a great sale, not expecting to look at clothes cuz that has been always a stressful point.. Here I am in the womens section and I am looking at the size clothes I used to wear 22W, my mind has NOT caught up with my new body of course they are too big... so I go down slowly and by gosh "EVERYTHING" in the "women's plus" section were TOO BIG!!!
It has been so long since I have shopped anywhere but the Plus section I did not know where to go...LOL well I went on over to Misses and I am happy to say that I am in a 14 MIsses cofortably and tried a 12 misses and they fit but I would be uncomfortable in them all day!! so that blew my idea that I was gonna cheat last night, I was so pumped I came home and had my dinner and water and quite proud of my accomplishment thus far.

that is my update ladies, I hope the scales are good to all of you this week : and I will try to post more next week. Stay on track, keep moving and drink your water........

Hello I jest wanted to say that I did it. I Did 45 min of WATP this morning.. I feel petty good now. Had a great night last night and Iam doing great. I will check back with everyone soon.

[Kiwi24]

Went to my meeting this morning thinking that if I lost 5 pounds I would get the key chain! Imagine my surprise to learn you must lose 10% of your weight to get the key chain!! Fortunately, I only lost 4 pounds instead of 5 so I didn't make a scene! I am very happy that I lost the 4 pounds but I was really hoping for 5 but I will get my STUPID STAR next week! ha ha ha

Anyway, we had a great meeting today. I love this woman that teaches! She is so motivating , informative, and funny. I know I will achieve my weight goal. Suz its so funny to watch people weigh in. They are taking off their shoes, watches, wallets, jewelry! Shoot I got on with jeans shoes, Fully loaded! I figured when I have a bad week I'll wear my lightest clothes and sandles!


I had Fajitas last night. Sooooo Gooooood! I counted it up to be 19 pts . So that put me over yesterday 12 pts but still kept me within my 35 and now today I start all over again!!

Congratulations Danni!!!! How wonderful to to be in a 12 to 14! Right now I'm still squeezing into a 16. Being short is such a bummer at times. It takes so much weight to lose to show a difference in sizes.

You go Bonnie! Exercise is really great first thing in the mornings. I think I like them better. I'm still only up to 20 mins. though.

Off to the post office

Good Morning Everyone - Looks like you are all doing great. My computer has been acting up. My son fixed it for me. I can now start posting again. I have had a not so great week. I am ready to get back to the task at hand.... LOSE THIS WEIGHT. I have gained 1.2 pounds instead of losing. So I have to try extra hard today to get back to 199.2 by tomorrow. I would really like to be under 199.2 . Before my knee injury I was at 195.4 I really would like to erase all the ups and down and just have the downs(weight loss). OK enough of that. I can do this I can do this..... .

[Butterfly50]

Hello I thought I would stop in and see how things are going?? well I went to the doctor today. Half of my hand is numb all the time. well he says that it is nerveritis( Inflamation of the nerve ) and then I was talking about the Knee pain and he said it was tendonitis and some arthritis. They gave me a shot for the inflamtion and a perscription and I have to see him again in 1 week . He said I must considering on looksing weight and making it better on my knee joint. I want to weigh in cause his scale said I lost 4 pounds But I will see what mine says. I hope that everyones weekend is going well will check in back in the am.

[Kiwi24]

Good Morning everyone,

I had a great weekend. There is a website called Dotti's weight loss zone that our teacher talked about. It really is wonderful. I had bought the dinning out book from WW but this had over 500 restaurants in them with alot more choices! I was going to Zaxby's until I pulled it up on Dotti's and saw how horrible even the Salad I normally would have ordered was loaded with points! I ended up going to Captain D's for lunch after church and was able to have the shrimp scampi.

I found some pants this weekend that were the kind I was looking for a long time. The problem is they are a 16 and fit way to tight to be seen in them. I was excited I could actually put them on and zip them but would never wear them out. Sooooooo I bought them and I am going to work myself into them!!

Bonnie that is really a bummer about the Doc's. Which is another reason you should take things slow.

Scalewatcher, I'm so glad your computer is fixed. Been there so I know what its like. Don't beat yourself up about the weight gain. Let me share something that happened to me this weekend and put me on a different mindset.

I was at a stop sign Saturday and this guy was blowing his horn at these people who were not crossing quick enough. When they finally did I watched to see where he was going in such a hurry and he pulled into the Drive through at McDonald's. I just laughed but it got me to thinking. We live in a self gratification world. We want results and we want them now. We stand at elevators pushing buttons because the door won't open quick enough. We rev or ingines when at a red light because we don't like sitting there waiting. We get mad at the drive through windows because those poor people don't give us what we want quick enough. We are a fast pace society and we want results immediately!
Its that same mind set we have when dieting. We have been faithfully dieting all week sometimes 2 or 3 and get on the scales just to see it hasn't moved. So in our quick gratification what do we do?
WE PIG OUT!! When the results we want doesn't happen quick enough we get discouraged, frustrated or mad and begin doing things that will result in defeat.
Losing weight takes time. But if you keep doing enough of the right things it will come off. Lets commit that we will stick together. Don't worry about everyone else's weight loss. Focus on your own progress and take it
one step at a time.

I woke up feeling completely gross this morning. I haven't felt this disgusting in awhile, and honestly, I'm glad about about it. I think I was getting comfortable with myself again, and that's why I wasn't trying as hard. Now, I just feel like working out and eating well and stuff.
This weekend wasn't that great for me. Bad weather and the off season made us dead at the restaurant I work at, so we spent half the night sitting around and talking and munching.
And now I'm off to class. hooray!

[Danni Marie]
