We Could All Use a Little Help from our Friends...Come Join Us! :)

I just came back from my Vegas vacation and I ate like a pig. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I haven't weighed myself yet. I usually weigh in on Saturdays, so hopefully when I weigh myself on Saturday it won't be too bad.

I have to get strict again. I have a wedding in about 3 weeks and I want to look "decent".

I know it is so hard to stay on a diet when you are vacationing. We ate a lot on our vacation but it must have average out with all of the walking & swimming we did. You never know, you may not have gained anything.

Man I thought for sure that scale would budge this morning, but nothing. UGH! Guess there's always tomorrow huh? I fanatsized about chocolate today & then I ate a plum. Guess that's a plus.

Yes, tomorrow is another day...at least it didn't go up, right?

Speaking of chocolate, I just found a low fat dessert with chocolate pudding...its called Grandma's Famous Dessert.

1 prepared angel food cake - torn in pieces
1 large box of instant chocolate pudding - prepared with skim milk (do not let this set)
1 tub low fat cool whip

Place torn cake pieces in a large deep pan. Pour pudding mixture over the cake to saturate. Cover with cool whip.

I cannot wait to try this...!

OK, it's been one week since I've returned from my Vegas vacation and I mustered enough courage to weigh myself. I gained a little over 3 pounds since before my vacation.

Another reason I weighed myself today is because I have a $50 (2 week) bet with my daughter on who can lose the most weight. To me it's a win-win situation. I don't mind losing to her if she can get her weight loss started. Wish us both good luck!!!

Ok after my little backwards movement I've gained anything just not lost either. It been raining to much here so that's my excuse for not being outside.

I still have about a month to go till my trip so I'm not getting discouraged yet. I hope to do better this week.

How is everyone doing?

I'm still walking, still dieting, still just chugging along.

I think I've finally made progress. I weight in tomorrow. WOW I feel lighter already.

Hi All!

I am pretty much holding at 3#s...I have been doing the treadmill about 3 - 4 times a week. I have to get on track...I think after this weekend and my son goes back to school, I will be more disaplined (sp).

I think I will join a Sept exercise challenge here on the WISH as well.

All the best to everyone!

I tried this...It was really good but we ate it in about 2 - 3 sittings...

I'm still walking somewhat, but I haven't been exercising. I am getting out early from work today, so I'll try to fit in some exercise. Eating wise, I'm doing well. Tomorrow I will weigh myself and I'll keep everyone posted. Have a happy and safe weekend (and try to eat well!).

I finally lost 2 lbs I am offically for the moment below 160 . I haven't been below this for 3 years now. 3 yrs ago I had a jaw abcess so I wasn't able to eat for 2 weeks. So not the way to diet. Anyway I'm happy.

Hope everyone is doing well and not getting discouraged dieting is hard work for women.

Congrats!!! I finally lost 5 pounds last week. I haven't lost 5 pounds in one week in many, many years. I have a really hard time losing weight with my thyroid problem (even though I am on meds). I'm also on beta-blockers because of my high blood pressure and that's a metabolism killer!!!

Anyway, I'm just trying to eat right and be more active. I hope I can keep this up.

 

[BigMama]

come on everybody!! get up and exercise!!! you will feel so much better!! get up!!!

Hi Kim!

Welcome! What I find motivates me is setting goals. I have joined a couple challenges here on the WISH board (exercise challenge, biggest loser) and they really help. My Disney trip is a motivator too!

Drink water too! It really helps!

What works for me is to just get up and walk whether I feel like it or not. If I waited for me to feel like it I would never leave the couch. I also grab my son it helps to have a partner. If my son is not home I grab my 4 legged son and take him for a walk. The big goof loves to go for walks.

Woo Hoo! I'm sitting at 165 but can't wait to meet the 150s!!!

I think I'm going to get a nice new outfit when I finally hit that number! I'm afraid to buy too many new outfits though because I'm not done losing yet! I made the mistake of buying new underwear a couple months ago & now they are drooping already.

That's a great idea. I try to walk at least 15-20 minutes before I get to work (I work only a 5 minute walk away from home). This morning I walked 20 minutes before work AND I just came back from a 20 minute walk that I took after I ate lunch. I feel great! Tomorrow I will weigh myself and see how I'm doing.

I had a very healthy lunch. A whole wheat wrap with chicken breast, tomato, spinach and broccoli sprouts; an apple; unsweetened iced tea.

It's so hard, but I'm trying.
