I'm here! I need all the help I can get as the older I get the worst my willpower is. Being Diabetic and taking insulin compounds the problem.
I started to try harder when we returned from our March trip. I began recording everything I put into my mouth on 3/19. To date I have lost 6.2 pounds.
Congrats on your weight loss .... that sounds like just the right speed to lose it so it'll stay off. I like the idea of recording everything you eat .... I was doing that with Weight Watchers online. It really made me think before I put anything in my mouth! So it's back to logging every bite for me!
Hi everyone!
I started to try harder when we returned from our March trip. I began recording everything I put into my mouth on 3/19. To date I have lost 6.2 pounds.
Congrats on losing 6.2 lbs!!! Yeah!!
So here I sit eating my low fat yogurt (good) and drinking my diet pepsi (not so good).
I'm here!!! I have 53 days to get my butt in shape for Disney!!!
What should we report here? Exercise tips? Eating tips? All of the above?
I'm always looking for good lunch ideas...that are NOT Smartones meals...some of those are ok, but DO NOT EAT THE ENCHILADA ONE....another poor choice on my part
I'm here! Thanks for starting this WISH thread. Maybe if I walk 30 minutes for every resort change I make....
Seriously, it is time for me to get back to walking again.
How are we ever going to make it for 2 weeks without her? Janet you'd better be ready to keep us going!
I read this and all I could think was ..... poor Jeanette she'd never get to stop walking!!!
not happy!!! I know how it is to lose a large amount of weight....,In Sept 2007 I joined basic training and the army....I lost 65lbs to achieve this goal! I went away to basic trg in Sept 2007 while my husband was away in Afghanistan on tour.....needless to say, it was not a good time to leave my kids or do this! To make a long story shorter, I hurt my Achilles tendon in basic and was told it would take 6-8 weeks to heal, and I wouldn't be back on platoon again until after Christmas/ in the new Yr. With hubby gone and myself gone, it was so stressful for my boys. I made the hard decision to voluntarily release from the military and go home.....it was for the best, and although hard at the time, and sad about a unrealized dream, it ended up being the best decision of my life..... it had been so hard to keep it off.....I don't exercise fanatically like I did when I had the military goal. I also had a personal trainer At that time too!!!! I am not willing to sacrifice my life to exercise like I did in 2007.... I want something gentler (like walking) and more sustainable....so I can keep with it without dreading exercise! We have a treadmill in our basement so I have decided to make this my "get fit for walking at Disney program" and my "to feel good in my clothes//get healthier program!" I want exercise to be moderation, not my life like it was when I was training for the army....thinking about even working out at that intensity again makes me cringe and want to not do anything!!!! So slow, sustainable and lifelong is my motto this time!
WE CAN do this with each other
Its okay Linda, at least it's not chocolate cake with that diet pepsi!
Ok...just want to report that I did get on my elliptical today for 30 minutes at a pretty good clip.
All that translates to lots of outdoor activity and a good jumpstart for exercising when I get back home. So, June 1 - Aug 15... I wonder if I can lose 10 lbs? 20 would be great. 
Time to get started. This is my jumping jack dude

I like that diet .... diet pepsi and chocolate cake!!!
Hmmmm I wish I was some help here. My one suggestion would be to talk to your doctor and see if you could drop that calorie count down some. I'm assuming that Lilyana is also eating food besides just nursing so that she is getting vitamins, etc from something other than just the breast milk.
EXCELLENT!!!! So proud of you! I'm hoping to get for a walk once the sun goes down.
Hi Guys! I am here. What a great idea to start this thread, Dani. Thank you.
I am looking forward to this weekend. No computer, and we may watch our TV one time in 5 days.
Congrats for all the great starts that you guys have already made.
Living here 6 yrs now, no friends, not able to get out on my own...am definitely depressed. I was just beginning to cope with the loss of Toby and get out more at home (other than work) when we moved here. I have been in a funk for 6 years. Hoping coming here to cheer my friends might help me too.
