Weight Loss	help, not losing weight	Mar 29 2008 05:45 (UTC)	6
Hey girl! I'm 28 and 5'5 too It's got to be muscle gain. Does your 1800 calorie plan involve lots of healthy non high sodium stuff? Are you drinking tons of water?

Weight Loss	Help, I'm Freaking!	Feb 03 2008 01:49 (UTC)
Look for cheese pizza or take the toppings off; this saves a substantial amount of calories. Hopefully they have a veggie tray, skip the dressing. I have to go to a Super Bowl party tomorrow, so I totally know what you're going through. You'll do fine, have fun!

Don't feel bad hun, it happens to the best of us! At least you weren't sending out private emails to anyone. (not that this has happened to me...) I'm about to get my drink on! I'm in bed with a nasty cold and feel it's my given right to have several vodka and Light O.J.'s After all it is an ancient cold remedy, lol!
Weight Loss	I get hungry really fast?? Or is it all psychological?	Feb 03 2008 01:24 (UTC)	9
This happens to me too. I think the main reason is because I think too much about food. Two tricks that work for me: 1. Drink some water or Chrystal Light. I read somewhere that sometimes when you think you're hungry, you might just be thirsty. 2. Chew some sugar free gum Hope that helps. Don't use as meal replacement though because you'll get a tummy ache
Health & Support	Sick :(	Feb 03 2008 01:04 (UTC)	8
Hi Tina1985, I feel your pain. I'm sick in bed with a cold right now too I'm not exercising and I'm eating more than usual but keeping it a little below my maintenance level. I guess it's good to "feed" a cold but I'm trying to keep it healthy and only binging on veggies with Tabasco. Might sound yucky, but it's tasty, low cal, I've heard eating spicy things speeds metabolism and really clears up your stuffy head. Put some socks on! J/k I hope we feel better soon

Workout videos are the bomb Try belly dancing. It's fun, expressive and a good workout. You can find lots of inexpensive videos on Amazon.

122.0 Arrr! Up 4 pounds from yesterday. I know it can't be all "real" weight but it sure is depressing to look at

If no one else wants to head up the January challenge; I'll give it a try. I like playing with numbers I hope everyone had a merry Christmas! I was so good this year Santa gave me 2 pounds! lol! Ps - Christalrae, your new haircut is super cute
Weight Loss	weird places to lose weight?	Dec 24 2007 05:28 (UTC)	4
You're right Samsuni. In the 8 pounds I've lost, I have only noticed that my feet and wrists have lost weight! I'm not kidding. My butt, waist and stomach look pretty much the same but I can see prominent foot and wrist bones that I hadn't before lol!

Weight Loss	Trying not to gain a pound during the holidays...	Dec 24 2007 03:30 (UTC)
What a good idea! You have inspired me to bring a veggie plate with me tomorrow since I know, no one else will. Yeah, I would defiantly exercise more if you can. I actually parked my car at my in-law's house today and walked home (sadly it's only 3.5 miles from where I live!)so that I have to walk there for the Christmas Eve festivities tomorrow. As for Christmas day, I'm kinda screwed because I'm throwing a party at home. Since I'm on my own turf, eating healthy won't be a problem but who knows how many calories I'll consume in wine?! lol Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I've lost a pound but with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day parties still to go this week I should probably keep my mouth shut until the end of the month!
Weight Loss	How much longer?	Dec 23 2007 18:45 (UTC)
Hey ciounoi, When I started counting calories back in late October I was 125-127 on any given day and I am 5'5 too. I consume between 1,000 - 1,4000 calories per day and get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day...as of this morning weigh 117.6 From what I've gathered, it just freaking takes forever to get to your goal when you don't have much to loose! Good luck and drink tons of water! (PS, Merry Christmas!)
Weight Loss	Would anyone like to join a last 10 lbs club with me??	Dec 22 2007 18:11 (UTC)	24
Oops! Forgot to weigh in yesterday. So here it is today: 118.6 Not much change from last weeks 118.8 but considering all the festivities I'll just be happy with it. Merry Christmas everyone / Stay strong!

One way that I have found to control myself a little is to have a candy cane when everyone around me is eating sweets. They are super tasty, last a long time and some of them (regular size) are only 40 calories Way to go Spacedreamer for baking all those cookies and being so good!

Congrats on the 3 pounds mmdsc96 ! I bet that feels good. I'm feeling pretty good this morning myself after seeing the scale finally going down a pound and some change after a week long plateau. Woohoo! So on that note I guess I'll weigh in: 118.8

Original Post by spacedreamer01: I want to publicly encourage and give kudos to angelaraja for being so dedicated and creative with her workouts. With everything from hula hooping to DDR, she mixes it up and has fun when working out, and is a real inspiration to me to make working out something fun that I want to do rather than something I have to do. Way to go, and keep it up! Thanks Spacedreamer for the kudos and encouragement! Making my workouts interesting is about the only thing that gets me to exercise :) I know its not as fun as some of my workouts, but I've taken up a lot of walking this week... If it's not too cold or dark outside I'll (drag my husband and dogs with me) walk wherever I need to go within a 6 mile or so round trip radius. It's kind of fun! I feel good about it if nothing else. Now maybe if I could get my water intake up, I could loose some weight lol!

WooHoo, here's to clothes fitting! Don't you love it when you try on a pair of pants that hasn't looked right in a while and you don't have "camel toe"! lol! xoxo Congrats

This Thanksgiving was my first on a diet and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was pretty good at dinner by having very small portions of things but for desert someone cut me a huge slice of chocolate cake and I didn't turn it down! I didn't feel too bad about it though because I talked my husband into riding our bikes all the way there and back
