natural, i totally understand about wanting summer to be over... me too !!! if you cant exercise as much right now.... i would keep doing what your doing BUT... i would just cut everything way down on portion size. yesterday when i had my lean cuisine, i only had time to eat half... i was running errands, cooking for company and cleaning the house... i just ate 1/2. you will have to eat more often but less.... on the plane, i had one bite of a choc. chip cookie and tossed the rest... anytime you think you are waisting $$ on tossing food or not eating all of it... just think how expensive weight watchers meetings are, or jenny Craig... then the cost of 1/2 a lean cuisine or 1 cookie isn't looking that $$ now.. hope this helps.... we had2 couples over for dinner last night, i ate one plate of food but i drank a lot of alcohol.... didn't eat much the whole day until dinner so my weight was good today.... down to 162.8 today |

hey everyone.... i can't weigh, i am in hotels this week, thank the lord there isn't a scale... i have been doing pretty well for food. went to the grocery store in london, bought fruit, mixed veggies, sliced turkey, lowfat cheese slices and an eggsandwich... NO ALCOHOL.....i had my hand on an ice cold stella beer...i held, looked adoringly at it.... loved it... then....I PUT IT BACK........ahhhh such a love story i had going with that beer..... ate chicken on the plane, salad...i did eat a little chocolate chip ice cream but that was my only bad thing in 3 days.. i have another london trip tonight, i will try to do the same thing vit, you really have higher priorities right now, if you could just maintain and then get back to losing when you move in and your apt is rented. order a sandwich eating out, but take off the bread, salad oil/viniger.... even a burger or turkey burger if you can find it. off to shower and get ready for round two. skinny, i know what you mean.... up/down.... but what i am reading is everyone seems to do this. so this must be part of the process... as long as we inch down in the LONG run... it is working...it takes awhile... it took me 6 months last yr to lose 20 but i kept it off for a yr... until i started eating fried food everyday.. someone asked about 1600 calories a day, that will work but it will take longer. my friend was going to have the stomach "thing" done but her dr. said before you do that, try eating 1000 calories a day first.... she couldn't do it...so she had the stomach thing done... she has lost a lot of weight but she is sooooo weak, has to have her husband bring her lunch shakes or she will faint at work. she looks really drawn and weak. i will never do that...i would rather lose it slow.... maybe try bring it down gradually... 1500, 1400, then 1300.. eat dill pickles and carrots when your stomach growls.... good luck ladies, talk w/ you in three days... |

sounds like everyone is doing pretty well on the whole... great... not much change here just plugging away, down .02 today still no alcohol, yeah... oh, if you would like to add a weight ticker to your profile, here is how you do it: go to "my account" "my home", in the upper right corner, under your little photo you will see a drop menu for "my account" drop down the menu and click on "view profile" then... under your big photo to the left, click on "edit page"... then top of that page to the left you will see PROFILE, underneath it... click on get ticker" then you can click on Choose Background Choose Ticker, you will know the rest from there... i love looking at every ones ticker... seeing where they started how far they have come... very inspirational... congrats viten.... you will love VA. BCH... i husband was a firefighter there in the early 90's |

wow, a good mourning.... heading back down, AGAIN.... maybe the alcohol thing slows it down more than i thought.... it wasn't too hard. i like the ritual, so i poured 1/2 sprint zero ( i NEVER drink soda normally) and 1/2 diet green tea in a big wine glass (ZERO CALORIES) and carried that around all night... very satisfying, going to a dinner party tonight, i think i will do the same tonight. viten- i am glad you came up with this group. i like that it is small enought to follow everyone AND what helps me is when i see people having a bad weigh in day like me, i can relate... AND when i see some going down, i think it is possible, and i get really happy for those that are trying so hard. thanks again for coming up with this fourm. SW 170 CW 168.6 |

sounds like most had a good week and some us not so great... but not awful either.... i have always said i could weigh myself everyday... it didn't matter, i go up and down everyday... i am not going to do that for awhile... it does seem to frustrate me... i am going to try to stick w/ the Sunday weigh in time, once a week... mine will vary some due to being away (my job). i HAVE to weigh in using the same scale or i won't weigh in. i have a great scale that does the BMI and lbs. up to .02 my weight this AM was up, i have been eating pretty well, making good choices, i even exercised yesterday BUT i am going up.... SO... i can't believe i am going to do this.... i am cutting out all alcohol for a week and just see if it makes any difference. my body is holding to this "set weight" there is an official term for it, but i can't remember what it is.... trying to break down to a lower level....

mary- i think your English is great.... way better than my french... you are losing your weight at a nice pace, keep it up vite- you lost 3.5lbs during the 4th of jul week AWESOME !! skinny - i ate 1400 yesterday too which is good except that a lot of it was beer/wine... bloated today rosie- a girl after my own heart... you can get that + 5 lbs off pretty fast!! i lost 22 lbs last yr. and gained 10 of it back... I WISH I WOULD HAVE caught it at +5 lbs NOT + 10 lbs. you can take that off by AUG and be right back on track. clinging- i see you and i are the wine lovers in the group.... i LOVE LOVE LOVE my wine... i tried the wine FRE (non alcohol, less calories... HATED IT!!) what i figured out is i like the routine of drinking my wine at night. these days (except holidays) i pour a measured glass of wine... i take very small sips...stretch it out....I am honest w/ myself on the wine thing, i measure out how much i drink and record every oz. if i didn't, i would drink too much. oh, anther thing i do.... if i want an extra glass, i do an ADDITIONAL 120 cal. burned on the elliptical. so maybe if you burn extra on FRI, you can have an extra glass on the weekend, just a thought. SW 170 CW 169.6 i went up .5 lb... i feel the bloating...i am not too worried... i try to look at the last 7 days and gear my weight on that... i am up and down a little all the time. i am looking at the weekly progress before i panic. now if i am not down to 168 by the 7th.... THEN i will go into "pissed" mode. i HAVE to get to the gym, i have e not been since i started back losing weight...i got the golf cart to go to the gym.... i HAVE to get back to the gym... it makes such a difference... |

okay... rosie... i am still LOL at your post... i just read it over and over to laugh.... skinny... the slower the better... viten.... you are doing great.... to go out the bounds just little and feel good, that is a great place to be.... i had the same kind of day... i was a naughty girl today but not a BAD girl... i went up to 1400 today, mostly alcohol... not a binge day but not one of my best... if i can just maintain .... i will be happy.. oh, the reason for the alcohol.... did i mention that i didn't tell my husband i was buying a golf cart..... ooopsss....... he was a little tee'd off... but he will get over it.... he was horrible today but he will better tomorrow... hey, i work...i will spend also... but that is another blog... LOL i like we are getting a plan together for the 4th... i am definitely going to the 1/2 burger, load up w/ veggies and fruit that someone suggested... great idea. and water bottle for sure.. it seems to help in social situations for me... and PRE EAT... that really helps... it will pre eat protein... okay ... looking fwd to hearing how everyone did on the 4th... if i can maintain...that will be GREAT... lord help me.... i want just one more glass of wine BUT i am going to stop... till tomorrow, michelle |

today is day two, down .8.... I'll take it...... 169.2 i think i will watch the carbs more after reading your posts... i downloaded the tool bar for Calorie count and i like how when i post foods in my "food log" it gives me a grade at the top of the tool bar... it is based on eating "good calories", right now ....after 1/2 green apple/ 1/5 tlbs. peanut butter, coffee, sugar free creamer my grade is A- does anyone know how to get the "calorie ticker" ? i see it on a lot of member profiles? i can't find the application .... i have been looking.... off to run errands, packing some cold cuts/ low fat cheese and water |

only 900 today ... but........... i had enought left over from the last week... not very hungry today... didn't exercise but hope to do that tomorrow.... i did go to the groc. store and picked up good veggies, and other foods that helped me lose 22 lbs. last yr... one thing that really really helps me.... i know this is weird... but i am a "crunchy, salty" person, i never met a chip or french fry i didn't like....... so......i get corn tortillas, cut them up, pam them, season them w/ cajun seasoning and bake them at 315 degrees until crisp... i can have have 12 chips for 90 cal.(or what ever the count is on the package) i get my "fix" for crunch and salt.... i will go and count out 6 or more and just count it in my journal.... it really really helps me get through the day.
