Thanks mini mary! I know what yea mean with the being temted  Do i EVER! lol guess thats why I regained huh lol lolDont know about the tea but my sister swears by green tea she a health nut! lol.

Even when I stopped for a while I new then I wasnt stopping forever cuz I do want this weight of once and for all! and wont stop fully tell I get it off it may take me another yr to get there but thats ok as long as I get it off!!!!!! I will not give up tell I get there even with a few bumps in the road =).

Life has been so much easier with the weight I have already lost like when we went to Vally fair (its compared to six flags) I could fit into ALL the rides easy!!! it was so nice not to have to think about, will I fit? But I want to get to a much better weight and not be classified as overweight!! One day I WILL!!

Well I need to scat so I can get some alone reading time before everyone wakes up! have a great day and HAPPY FORTH OF JULY!!! its so great to be back on here!!

Oh by the way I have gone down 4 pounds this week alone!! too bad every friday isnt like this!!!! lol

Hello Everyone, I know long time no see, huh! Well I dont have a good reason why I stopped, just got tried of tracking everything I put in my mouth after doing it for months on end. so I didnt and of course I went over and gained 15 pounds back on sence I last weighed in back in March! so here I go again. I wasnt surprised and can't blame anyone but myself, so I am gonna slowly get back on track. I am finding it hard to find time to get on CC but that doesnt mean I cant log in my notebook I keep on my kitchen counter. Its great to see some new ppls too! and many regulars still here!

Sorry I havent been around much lately, been in a funk & dont feel like doing anything, like sitting at the puter. dont know why I just feel blah ya know. But surprisingly I still lost 2 more pounds this week and thats with only working out twice but I did try to watch my cal intake . I hope your all doing good. keep pluggin away. I may have my down times but I never get to the point where I am gonna give up, no way I have come too far to give up now.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello everyone, Happy hump day!

Barbara, Way to go on losing 9 pounds! thats wonderful!!!

Cetifiable crazy here too and proud!! lol

Karen dont be surprised if you still lose. I didnt lose all week last week tell the day of my weigh in! so dont give up hope, keep on chugging away and watching what you eat and keep moving and I think you will do just fine.

Well I'm having a good week with my eating, I keep it at or below my limit but missed mon workout, but as long as I work out the rest of the week I should be fine.

I'm off to playgroup with my 2 yo have a great week ladies!!

I'm so glad to hear that everyone is having a great weekend. Keep up the great work everyone. We are all doing so well!!!

Barbara I'm glad you had time with your family, well needed I'm sure. Your such a good mom!

After getting DH to do all of his honey do list yesterday (and the items I wanted to get done myself) we wanted to get out of the house today so we took the kids to the conservatory and it really gave me spring fever!! and it was a chance to spend time as a family. I did go over my calorie limit yesterday and gained one pound but today I'm doing REALLY good so I know I'll lose that by tomorrow.

I hope every one continues to have a great rest of  the weekend.

Hang in there Barbara, Sorry to hear about everything you are having to go threw. I will keep you in my prayers too.

Chocolate! love it too! I keep it in my room and have a truffle every so often and just one is 70 cal but ooooh so good!

Karen let me know if you like the soup I hope you do.

Great News!!! I lost two more pounds this week, which puts me at 183!! Doing the happy dance~~~~ 

Its so nice to be welcomed back, thanks a bunch!

I have the same problem with eating at night. sooo now, I save calories for my night time cravings. I eat 800 threw out the day and save 300 for the evening and so far its been working cuz its a habit I know I wont stop even when I reach my goal weight.

I also weigh in on fridays I weigh as soon as I get up. and I also sneak in weigh in's threw out the week to make sure I'm staying on the right track but the one I record is my Friday ones.

Have a great day everyone!

Oooooh.... don't get me started on "serving sizes!"  I was trying to compare cereal calories in the grocery store last night and serving sizes ranged from 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup to 3/4 cup to one cup!  Can't we standardize something as simple as the serving size for CEREAL???

MOLLY

OMG that was me two nights ago!!!! I was trying to get the least amount of calories for1 cup of cereal, it just boggled my mind ugh!!! So frustating!!

Welcome Beth,

Glad to have you here =) So what kind of plan are you doing so far? Me I'm just watching my calorie intake I try to keep it around 1300 a day and I have been doing really good the past two weeks. I also try to move 30 min 5x a day 

Just jump on in Have a great day everyone and Move move move =)

So ya can cook with it to? way cool =) 

So how is everyone doing this weekend? For our superbowl party if you can call it that (we watch it for the commercials and never watch tell the end)  we are hanging out with the kids. I got all good stuff like shrimp, whole wheat crackers,salsa, homemade quacamole dip, hummus and mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat.That way I wont eat bad  and hot wings for hubby and kids(I hate them!) so all in all a very healthy spread . Have a great day everyone!

Thanks Lora and Terri!

Julie, I have heard its best to work out 20 min right before you eat after each meal, but who can do that? not me, I tend do to it in the morning so I can get it out of the way. I have been better on eatting veggies not as much as I should but better then before Enjoy your workout and keep eatting your veggies!

So how is everyone doing this weekend anyone going to any superbowl partys?with all the tempting foods! We're having a lil one with the kids and I got all good stuff like shrimp, whole wheat crackers,salsa, homemade quacamole dip.That way I wont eat bad  and hot wings for hubby and kids(I hate them!)

Have a great weekend everyone!
