Hi All, Dee - Thanks for the info, it's good to know that I can expect to lose that extra water weight after this is over. I didn't get to try out the Wii Fit yet. Other things always seem to get in the way. I'll try again tomorrow and let you know. By the way, with summer still around, I would suggest you look into water aerobics. This is a pretty big thing out here in AZ. Most of the cities offer this class as part of their rec classes as well as most of the gyms and I hear that it is not as strenuous on the joints. Thanks also for the advice on the fruit, unfortunately I have to keep my fruit portions at a minimum since it really affects my sugar levels. I am not diabetic, but my dr did say I am on the border. I am suppose to watch my carb intake. If anyone else has that problem, the dr did say to me that when I do eat fruit it is always best to do so with protein - for example, apples and peanut butter. Funny thing is that I have heard varying opinions on fruit from different drs. Some drs say that eating any fruit is okay. My dr said I should lay off the oranges, grapes, melons, and bananas since they have alot of sugar, but apples, pears, and any berries are fine. Has anyone else heard the same? Dee - I agree, I love this site! Michelle |

Hi Everyone, I am so glad to see more new members joining in. Thank you all for being there and supporting us new gals as we start off on our weight loss journey. Well it has been a week since I joined and unfortunately I gained three pounds. My other problem seems to be my eating habits. I am trying to get a schedule down, but with little success. I am usually on the go and am forgetting to eat and later when I'm hungry I noticed I wind up eating more than I should (even though I am trying to be more cautious with portions). Worse yet is that I am looking for something quick so I have grabbed snacks that are not as healthy. So, this week I am trying to plan a little better and keep some healthier snacks on hand, which is difficult because my husband keeps bringing the bad stuff back in. WILLPOWER is broken down alot. On the plus side I am working out again, and am really enjoying it. That maybe another reason for the fluctuating. Anyway, my husband surprised me and got me a Wii Fit. I'm going to try it today and will let you know if it helps. |

Hi everyone. I found CC in July of last year when I had managed to lose 40lbs. Since then, I fell off the wagon and found myself 20lbs heavier as of March this year. I think part of my problem was that I had no support, so I browsed the forums today and found your group. You all seem so great I am hoping you will allow me to join your team and get back on track. Here is where I am currently at: 5'5" 160lbs GW: 115lbs It looks like you are all checking in weekly. Is there a certain day of the week that you are shooting for? Thanks for being here. |

Funny thing was that during the week, I weighed myself several times and found that I was fluctuating alot. First 160 then 158 back to 160 and now at 163. I am going to have my period soon, so maybe that's what's going on. Do any of you have the same problem?
Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?
In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
