That's 11 pounds to lose and boy those are the toughest to lose - K - since we are being honest here(hehehe)...I started in January being 175 at 5'6:eek: :eek: ...I have no idea where all that came from - I was always thin and never needing a diet until now. Plus my bloodwork is what pushed me to start the "year of me.". Today I am 140 and my goal is 135 but boy if I could go to 130 I would fall over. I am now a 9-10 but some 7-8s. There - I "said" it out loud:eek: so for lunch today I have my oatmeal the new Quaker Simple Harvest with all the fiber/barley; my Gala apple and that's it. But don't forget I eat 6 small meals a day. So at around 3-4 - I'll have my 150 calorie Southbeach bar which will fill me up until dinner around 6:30ish and then my late snack around 8:30pm. Lots of water is key too! (in my 20s/30s always between 125-130 but those days are gone!) |
Oh, this is a great post! I recently lost about 30 pounds on NutriSystem, it took about a month and a half. Ive been off of it for about a month now and im STILL loosing weight. I learned that my problem was not eating regularly and not really excercising. So now I use the treadmill everyday for 45 minutes and I eat every 3 hours. Not starving yourself and realizing that things are good in moderation will help you stay on the right track. Not allowing yourself to have little "treats" is just going to make it harder. So reward yourself when you meet little goals! I wish everyone good luck! :) :) |

Yup I REALLY did...I was determined! I just woke up one day and made a decision....Ive never had the best will power - but something just came over me. I used to starve myself in the hopes that would work but that just did the opposite! I would eat twice as much as I usually would....I KNOW we can all do it - support is a BIG part of beginning a healthy life style and attaining our goals! |

She swears it was all those years using saccrine and then sweet & low. She made me swear to nevr use artificial sweetners. I use stevia or good european sugar. Breakfast: 2 eggs with spinach & some chedder Lunch: little red sweet/hot peppers-- 7 ---- stuffed with fresh mozz cheese Snack: Sliced tomato and red onion with a drizzle of balsamic Dinner: Steamed Jumbo Shrimp with lots of steamed fresh veggies and whole wheat cous cous. Milo will be so happy---he loves shrimp! :animal-pa |
I'd like to join in with you all as well. I started Weight Watchers at the end of July and yesterday I weighed in and I have lost a total of 10.5lbs. I'm super excited and I'm really looking forward to losing more of the weight. My goal is to lose about 50lbs. From going to my meetings my leader has said that Fiber is very important. I try to eat fiber in every meal that I have because it fills me up faster and I'm not as hungry. Lots of water. I drink a ton of water. And when you increase your Fiber intake make sure you drink lots of water and if you don't have any fiber for a day or two make sure you drink lots of water then as well. Or else you'll feel cramped. I just found that out yesterday at my meeting. Also exercise. I think I would lose more weight if I exercised more than 2 times a week. I really need to work on that. And eatting breakfast. Breakfast helps get your metabolism going for the day. You can also eat on a smaller plate. You don't need that huge plate because when you do that you feel more obligated to fill the entire plate than you would if you had a smaller plate. That was one of my weaknesses. Portion control. With weight watchers I've learned that I can control what I put into my mouth and if I know its going to cost me a lot of points for the day then I won't put it in my mouth. Other than that you all are doing awesome!!! Keep it up!!:thumbup: :thumbup: |

Welcome. Come join us. The more the merrier. Weigh in on Mon am. |
I have been on Weight Watchers since March, so has my son, I have lost 26lbs. so far and he has lost 21 lbs. I love WW, it is so easy to follow and it has taught us good eating habits. I really eat what I want, just not as much as I use to. I was exercising 1 1/2 hrs. a day 5 days a week, but i haven't kept that up and I still am losing. Although I do need to exercise more, I always feel better when I do. I still want to lose at least 25 more lbs. Drink PLENTY of water, it helps fill you up. I also try to eat as much fiber foods as possible, they fill you up too. I LOVE Weight Watcher yogurt with some ground flax seed and grape nuts mixed in, this is part of my lunch every day. I have been eating healthy for so long now I actually crave healthy foods instead of sweets which use to be my downfall. Get some lowfat cookbooks or Weight Watcher cookbooks, that is all I use to cook with now. |
Im In!! OK........ I have always thought I would never try to get in with a "lose weight group", but I am in!!........ With the holidays on its way, I defintely need to lose & NOT gain anymore. It seems like every winter I always gain a few more pounds!!! I really like Vi's suggestion on eating more melon. I LOVE any kind of melon.......... but I will have to stay at home more..... It makes me Pee!!!:eek: :eek: Don't forget to post about your weight loss successes!!!! |
So what did everyone have for Dinner? I had chicken that I cooked in my new pressure cooker...man ,I love this thing! Black eyed peas and about 2/3c. mac and cheese. I know thats bad,I had small portions of everything I ate. No seconds. |
i'm bad. i didn't have dinner. i had a late lunch and am just not hungry. i know that is a MAJOR no no. but i'm just not hungry and this headache makes me NOT want to eat. i am scared I will get sick if i eat. so for dinner...I had water and vitamins :( I really was going to eat dinner...but i took my dd to girl scouts at 6:30 and we didn't get home until almost 9. now it is waaaaaaaaaay too late to eat anything. so i will start fresh in the morning :) i'm still psyched about only weighing 141 for the dr. today !!!!!!!!! :jump28ib: :jump28ib: :clapsmile :woof: :woof: :yay_jump: :yay_jump: :yay_jump: |
