every Sunday,,, sounds good, no haven't read everything yet.. but i will... I'll have to go back,,,,, i'll have to post mine on Monday... don't have a computer yet at home, but hopefully this year... then i'll never get my house work done, i'll alway be on YT.... :D

treadmill
 

ok im getting serious now, i'm taking the dust bunnies off my treadmill tonight and i'm going to start walking on it everyday,,, have to fit into that wedding dress in five months :eek: what the hell i even might put my baby Harley on it to, he went to the vet yesterday and he is overweight too.. :eek: takes after his mommy :D :D

LOL, you are sooooo funny!!
 

Dustbunnies on the treadmill!! Hey, there was another YTer who had their pup on a treadmill, and he was really great walking on it by himself! :p

Good luck, KellyLynn! You can DO it! :D

dustbunnies
 

yep dustbunnies :p it's just been sitting there collecting dust, it's time to turn it on and starting a walking..... :D i'm going to try and put Harley on it, he'll probably run like hell from me and hide.... :eek:

OKAY! OKAY!!! :eek: :eek:

It's a lifestyle change I need and not another diet!!
No more scams or empty promises. No more hollywood diets or gratefruit diets or drink 5 shakes a day diets. You see, guys, I've been on every diet (nearly) and they just don't work. So, since I desperately need to lose weight, and a lot of it, I'm going to try it the right way - actually eating and eating more of the right foods. I have already found a lot of support and help from Pat and Glad - I need to PM you my stats - and Villette. So, kicking and screaming because I got myself into this mess, here I am to join your club. I need all your support and help and sometimes maybe a reality check, but if it's not too late, I'm here. And thanks to all of you for all the help I've already found. :)

Lynn

water, water, water
 

just wanted to let everyone know, that i am so bloated from drinking water that it is not even funny :D i'm going to have to buy some water pills now :D :D :D

Lynn my friend, it is NEVER too late!!
 

HOORAY!! I am sooo happy to see you here! We are all here to help each other, girl, and you will get lots of help and support from everyone here! We can do this together!

Start from the beginning of the thread. I know it's a long one. But read each and every post (except maybe the one from the girl that got mad at me, LOL) and there is incredible information here.

WELCOME, Lynn!! I am so proud of you!! :D

You have our FULL SUPPORT Lynn and together we can do this ! Good for you posting ....and I'm SO PROUD OF YOU !! You just don't know how happy I am to see your name here :D :D :D

Look at it this way - THIS TIME you have worldwide support & friends in your new Life Changes...how cool is THAT ?

welcome Lynn
 

welcome, you'll love it here, it's better than WW... :) and good luck :)

Kelly, have I told you lately???
 

I think you are a kick, girlfriend!! You are so welcome here too!! :D

Lynn, you can't miss with a cheerleader like this one!
 

Lynn, with Villette and Pat behind you, you can ONLY succeed!!! :D

I want everyone to know that I've been reading this thread and using ideas, but not posting. I did lose 2 pounds this week. It's exciting to be motivated, for a change. I sure can't wait for summer to get here though, so I'm not paying premium prices for fruits and veggies! Yikes, I paid $3.99 for a half pint of black berries! But oh boy, they were good. And I guess that's about the same price as chips o'hoy cookies!

congrats...
 

congrats. girl !!!! :D

thank you
 

:D thank you, if i didn't joke about things i would go crazy :p but seriously i really did drink alot of water today :D and it did help, not that hungry like i was yesterday at this time, But i did go to the BR alot today :p my boss thinks i have a kidney problem :D

Hahahahahaha!!!
 

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Tell him you DO!! AND keep drinking the water! Good job hon! I am still thinking about your mom, and hope all is well.

Great job, Teri!!
 

CONGRATS, my friend Teri at NOT buying and eating Chips O'HOY!!! See how much you are CHANGING??? :thumbup: :thumbup:

You'd be AMAZED how much money I used to spend on JUNK food!! It's so funny now when I go to the grocery store, empty my cart onto the belt, and stand there surveying my groceries and looking at how HEALTHY I eat! It's all right there in front of me! Then I glance over at the next isle and tick off in my head what THAT person should NOT be eating!! Makes you want to talk to strangers, LOL! :D

That is funny that you said that, because my hubby and I went to the grocery store the other day, and after everything was up on the belt I looked at it and I was just so PROUD! I felt like yelling out "hey everyone, look at me. I'm making good choices today!" I didn't of course, they would have hauled me away!

Lololol
 

Girl, you made me laugh out load at WORK!! Good thing I am the only one here today!!

Nice job! I am happy and proud to KNOW you!! :D

Lynn: I am sooooo glad that you decided to "come to our side"! You know that you have our full support in this. I know that you've been reading and just hope that you've printed off all that you need to get started.

I hope no one is looking for a "quick fix" here because I don't think it will happen. When you get the "quick fixes" and when you're done, you gain all the weight back again.

If you do this the right way and STICK WITH IT, you will not gain the weight back. But you HAVE to eat the right foods, eat the right portions, not cheat, and exercise.

Lynn, all this is not meant just for you - it's meant for everyone.

Congratulations, I'm glad you "saw the light"! Welcome!

Come on, girl! Come and join up with us. PM Glad and give her your stats.

You're more than welcome here.

We're a greattttttt support group. We all hold each other up.

I know some of the fruit can be expensive out of season but I still just eat apples, personally for myself.

But, don't think of it as being expensive, because you're saving bunches of money by NOT buying junk food! You're probably ahead of the game this way.

mom
 

I'm on my first glass of water :eek: stop to see mom yesterday, still waiting for Dr. to call, she looked tired, but in good spirits, so i'm praying for her every night, had a good cry in my bubble bath, shook it off and im back in action..... ;)

Good morning! Sorry but I don't know the circumstances of your Mom. Is she ill? You can email me about it if you'd like. I just PM'd you my address. Anytime!

I hope she'll be getting better soon.

Are you eating something before you start with the water? Eat a bowl of cereal first. That might help take off the "edge" of feeling bloated. I can't drink water on an empty stomach. Ugh!

breakfast
 

i never could eat breakfast, i always get sick, i'm up at 4:30am every morning i start work at 6:00 to much rushing around in the am. i try at eat around 10:00, i did bring some dry cereal to work me today to munch on, maybe it will absorb some of the water :D :D :D water, water, water,

Thanks for this Kelly - I need to do more water and you're inspiring me....The last time I drank ALOT of water - I worked full time and was in the restroom SO much - My boss threatened to Super Glue my BUTT to my chair :D :D

I hope your mom is going to be ok !!

I thought we had a lot more people than was on the 1st list.

I hope and pray for those that started that they'll stay with us for their health's sake. You can not go wrong with eating in the direction we're heading you to. It's very healthy.

Make sure you PM your stats to Glad. You can send them in and not be on the list that's sent out to others, if you so desire to not publish your own stats.

Good luck to all. Anyone still wanting to be a part of the group, please PM Glad.

I am so glad that I started with this group. Today is hubby's birthday and I told him I would pick up a cake on way home. He said "Can you eat cake on your diet?" I told him I'm not on a diet, I'm eating healthy for life. I said I'd probably have a teeny tiny piece, but NO ICE CREAM. That's a big change for me, so I'm counting it as a positive one! And, I'm drinking extra water today to flush my body.
