| Hello Ladies,and welcome to new girls!!! Ive always had trouble sleeping,so I wouldnt know if its the food changes,but I wouldnt think so. I have real trouble in the winter cuz Im up and down all nite putting wood on the fire. Its our only source of heat so I have to keep it going,and my hubby helps too,but its hard !! It starts to go out and you jump up and throw more wood on there trying to save it!!!lol whew!!! It almost went out on me twice last nite,but I stayed up for a little bit and saved it,,,,,It was 5 degrees here!!! whooooo cold!!! But that stove keeps us warm. I hope everyone is doing well!! I have made a decision about the 2342 calories a day. I just cant do it. That would mean Id have to eat up all my food for the week,in like 2 days. So I cant afford it. I only have so much to spend on what I want to eat with. I stick to veggies,salads,tuna,fish,chicken,and canned fruits. So Ive done this before and kept moving and I have lost 100 lbs that way,so Ill have to hope it works again. I have cut out red meats,fried foods,most carbs,sugar. So Ill snack when I can to bring up the cals,but I just cant do 2342 a day. But sometimes you have to modify,so I think it will be ok!! Did anyone see my pics?? They are on my gallery! I hated putting my pic on, but I got brave!!! I think I look so bad,I was quite a looker in my day!! But we all age and change,so I have to not be so self concious,and try to be more confident!! I just think I look so fat in my pics. Double chin!!lol Thats ok Ill change it soon hopefully!! Bye ladies ill check in later!!! Anyone can add me if they want !! Lynn | |||

| Well I am astonished!!! 2342 calories a day??? Oh my........Ill feel like Im pigging out constantly!! I guess Ill try to up the ante and add some raw veggies,salads,and more granola bars or something on top of the 3 squares.... That seems like alot of eating,its hard to change that mindset. I hope everyone is fine!! Happy late B-day Teresa!!!! And your right ,our group must get smaller!!!!lol | |||

Its great to have a bunch of brains to work on things than just by yourself!!!I too have struggled with up and down (200 to 140) all my life,after the babes,and all that. Its frustrating!!

I am in love!!!!lol I will put others in my photo gallery as I go. Soon. Im still figuring out how to work the transfer. I had to have my son in law do it for me!! Brayden is 20 months old,and rotten!! He was my first grandbaby,I have another that is a 10 month old boy. And another on the way in August. whew!!! They are loading me up!!! Well,I got up late today,was tired. So I need to eat some oatmeal,and toast,and go for a walk and do some crunches. Have a good day ladies!!! | |||

| Welcome to all the new ladies!!!! Thanks for the kudos! Im doing so much better now,very proud of myself!! There is glitches here and there,but that is to be expected. I have been walking every day,not as much as I should but I tell myself,that I really cant start out to heavy at first,I am severely out of shape.Get winded real easy,and inner thighs start pulling tight. All this is good probably, but I have heard you shouldnt go crazy all at once. I think Im doing well just building up to a longer,more vigorous pace. Hope everyone and their families are fine! Its cold here 20s and 30s at nite,40s in am!! We got a new digital camera,so I can post a few pics af me and grandson. Have to show him off!!!!lol Well Ill be Back later. Keep up the hard work troup!!!! | |||

| Hey Ladies!!! And welcome Jamie!!! I hope everyone is doing great,Im feelin a little better,they come and go. I slept late today,and cleaned kitchen,while daughter is off getting groceries. I told her to get me some few things for my diet. Some whole grain bread,tuna,lettuce,,etc... The usual stuff I can think of thats cheap to get. We all eat together so her and Charles share their stamps,(food) when they come in and we do the same. That way everyone can eat.They dont have a stove next door ,so it all gets cooked over here anyway. Thanks Ro,its nice to know we all think of each other and our gripes!!!! Ive still had an issue with getting out and walking as much as I should,but I will keep hammering at it! I dont know what the big deal is. Im not lazy,,or am I?? Lol....I do tons of housework,which gets old,because I dont work,so how much of that can you do? I load firewood in the porch,and carry alot of it ,change furniture around, chase baby,,,etc... but all that still does not burn the calories...I must have a real slow metabolism, or something. I could bust my rear like they do on BLoser,and Id be losing one lb,or something!!!lol Man they really bust there butts on there!!!! Id be soooooooo crying!!!!lol Im so out of shape, my mucsles would be screaming!!!! Wish I could get on there!!! I have to find a way to put a voice in my head to get going!!!! My daughter found out she has a heart problem,Ive been so worried about that. They say she has a fluttering valve that doesnt work right,and it causes her to get tired easily,palpitations,some chest pain sometimes,and it has been scaring her to death. She has no insurance either,only the baby has medicaid,(thank god),so she goes to the free clinic,the lady said there is nothing they can do right now except order an ekg every year,and just watch it. But I so wish I could take her to a specialist. I thought it was mitral valve prolapse ,but she says it is some other similar thing. She is only 18 yrs old and a mother to my grandbaby of 20 months. So help me pray for her to be ok,because it looks like there is nowhere to turn right now for that. That is the only thing that angers me about being poor,the damn health care thing. Its a racket in this country. Sometimes I wish we had socialized medicine ,but I know that has its drawbacks,but it would be better than this million dollar crap.....Everybody has to have his almighty dollar. Oh well Ill stop...I must not get upset,it does no good. Everything will be fine. I must trust in God and take what comes and deal with it. We will all be fine. Hey Ladies have a great evening ,sorry for the size of post ,but hey more to read!!!!! Thanks all for the support. I really like this site!!!! Its helped alot with alot of stuff!!!! Well off to put food away and squeeze my baby (grand) Have fun girls!!!!! Later, Lynn. | |||

| Hey Ladies!!! Its been snowing like crazy here!! Have kept the fire going, and took the baby outside to play on his new sled,and oh is he the cutest grandbaby ever!!!! Besides Sues!!!!lol Chris, my sister had scoliosis, and was bent over at 12 yrs old, she had surgery back in 1962 when I was a baby,and had to wear a full body cast, for 2 yrs and stay home from school. She used to take care of me when I was a baby..... Her spine was so misshapen,her ribs on one side were in her back,so she struggled with self esteem issues all her life. So I know whereof you speak,as someone who is close to my sis,and watched all that. But she did overcome,get married and have a good life. I think you could find out if some of the moves on the machine could be modified,,ask the trainers or assistants, its worth a try. Or just modify your own at home....Just an idea....well im going on and on today!!!lol . Im still having trouble motivating to move more.. All the housework is just not enough I guess.....I fight myself to take a walk every day. I need a trainer in my head to scream at me!!!!! Well im off to the day! Have a great one ladies......see ya later... | |||

| Hello!!! I think you may be gaining muscle mass,and that is why the gain in weight. After a certain point , this can happen and is normal, but I would continue to make sure you adjust your calorie intake to make sure there is enough fuel to burn all those calories!! ; Good Luck!! Lynn. | |||
