MORALE SUPPORT FOR WEIGHT LOSS!

hmmm....well, i think it was all a joke anyway....but it was a cute thought.

WELL, I HAVE LOST.............. 5 LBS! NOT A LOT BUT HEY IM GOOD WITH IT. WE HAVE STARTED THE CHALLENGE AT WORK AND THE WINNER WILL GET A POT OF $100 (MORE PEOPLE JOINED)SOOOOOOOOOOOOO WISH ME LUCK

How many people? Is it the "biggest loser" who gets the pot? Good luck! Oh yeah and take some "before" pictures. You know the kind that look like you are posing for "before" pictures.

IT IS 10 OF US SIGNED UP AND YA WHOEVER LOSES THE MOST GETS IT. I DID TAKE BEFORE PICTURES AND............ALL I CAN SAY IS NOT PRETTY! IM DEEPLY DEPRESSED BECAUSE TRY DOING THAT. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED, YOU SEE YOURSELF IN YYOUR MIND AS ONE THING AND THE PICTURE.......SHOWS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! I HAVE IT POSTED ON THE FRIG WITH COMMENTS ON IT ABOUT WHAT I DONT LIKE ABOUT MY BODY AND WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE!

every since I joined Curves I have been doing a webcam shot of myself once a week. Not much difference right now...its only been two months. But I imagine it will be changing soon. I just stand in front of the camera and say the date that it is. I got the idea because that one biggest loser gal...jeez I can't remember her name right now, she was the first woman to win it. Anyway there is a film clip that shows her week by week losing the weight. I somehow had high hopes that my own weight loss would be so dramatic, but alas I have only lost 10 pounds in two months. And I actually keep bouncing back and forth between 8-10 pounds. I need to be more consistant with my gym attendance!

THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME. I KEEP FLUCUATING BTWN 3-5 LBS. BUT WHATEVER AT LEAST IM TRYING RIGHT!
I JUST BOUGHT THIS BOOK FROM CALORIEKING.COM AND I FOUND IT FOR ONLY$8 AND IT TELLS YOU THE CALORIE,FAT AND CARB INTAKE OF ALMOST ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF INCLUDING FAST FOODS AND INTERNATIONAL FOODS. THAT WAY YOU CAN BE CONSCIOUS OF THE CHOICES YOU MAKE. IM ALSO LOOKING INTO THE WEIGHTWATCHERS POINTS SYSTEM WITHOUT JOINING ONLINE. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES.

this is a really good site for looking up foods. If you make a profile you can actually keep a food log and it will chart your weight loss and you can chart your exercise. All sorts of things. I am not too impressed with the forums. But the food log alone is awesome.

ya, . i wasnt to impressed with their forums or design of the site. i signed up and dont even go there. i am more of a mental logger. i keep it in my head and KNOW that i am doing wrong when i start my eating and the calories, etc are high. that book is a pocket book you can carry in your purse and if you go out with your family to dinner you know what you are eating and dont have to order off the diet menu. its great.

what i like about the calorie count site is that it breaks it down for you. It does the pie chart thingy telling you how much protein you've had in a day and so on. something to take with you, though to restaraunts would be nice, especially since they really don't advertise that there are some hamburgers out there that have a full days calorie intake in just the one burger (then add fries and you're like totally wasted!)

I joined calorie count over a year ago and then completely forgot about it. Now that I am trying to be serious again I like the food log part of it. Plus it has this thing where it tells you how much of your total calorie intake you have already had. Then I log in what my weight is each week and it graphs it and tells me how long it will take going at the rate I am going to get to my goal weight.

ya its pretty gross to see that calorie filled burger in the book! in california they are now making the food chains post calories , etc on the menus and are banning cafeterias from serving fries, etc.....effective jan 2011 or 2010 i cant remember but i think that is a great idea.

Well, I went in for my monthly weigh-in and measurements. And do I have some happy happy happy news!! It's not so much how much I lost in pounds, because it was only 11 pounds and I have so much more to go...but I lost inches, all over. I lost 4 inches around my waist, and 7 inches around my thighs (3.5 each). I lost inches all over and that was a real great achievement for me. It sure is giving me incentive to get my butt over there and work out!! Of the 11 pounds I lost 10.71 was total body fat! So here's to another good month at Curves!

WOW CONGRATS!!!! I WISH I HAD GOOD NEWS..... I LOST 5 LBS AND THEN I WEIGHED AGAIN YESTERDAY AND NOW ITS ONLY 3.............GEEZ WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!! MAYBE IM GETTING MUSCLE FROM EXCERCISING? THEN I WILL LOSE.......ANYWAY, CONGRATS AGAIN DEEDEE!!!!!!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets
AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat And suffer fewer heart attack than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Germans d eat lots of sausages and fats And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:
Eat what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. ...........

i lost the work bet!!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooo
