MORALE SUPPORT FOR WEIGHT LOSS!

Okay, I am going to tell you guys something about me that will prolly shake your confidence in mankind altogether. One time a long time ago me and this other gal who was my room mate both went on a diet at the same time. She was already way skinny, but you know how skinny people are.....anyway, she just kept losing weight and losing weight and I was struggling to lose one or two pounds. Well, I started making cookies for her. Only I told her I made them with Splenda. She would eat the entire 2 dozen cookies herself because she thought they were healthy for her. I would always say, "no thanks I ate some of the batter" or what ever I had to say to get out of eating them. Well, I didn't make them out of Splenda, I was just being a b***h.

But it really didn't matter ... she stayed skinny anyway, and I still had to struggle for my one or two pounds!

Hello!!! I'm here Laura! I always use this site also, http://www.thedailyplate.com/, you can type just about anything in including restaurant foods and it will come up with all of the nutritional information for you. I also have been doing weight watchers for about 7 months, although the first 3 months I wasn't exactly faithful... so far I have lost 41 lbs though. I also started a running program which led to me losing the most weight which you can just google C25K and the program will come up with a 9 week plan. Its hard, but worth it if you stay faithful!

also...this may give you gas... but eat your veggies and fruit at least 5 servings a day and a serving is about 1/2 a cup ..It will make you feel great!

deedee you are evil!
sam thx! i will need to do this if i plan on losing more than 4 lbs!

and isnt salad considered 2 servings??? i thought i heard that somewhere...

Hey, do you want some cookies?

You will!! Have more faith in yourself! Remember..I was working out 2 times a day for at least a month and didn't lose more than 5 lbs, so it definitely takes time. Unfortunately. This is why most people don't last very long on the whole dieting idea!! Salad or lettuce you count a serving per cup because it doesn't actually have as many nutrients as other veggies... I have diet cookies ! . As well as TONS more weight to lose.. ALSO!! Google, Diet Soda cupcakes or cake...good recipe and low fat!! Then you can make icing out of a fat free whip (tub of it) and sugar free jell-o pudding (whichever flavor you want)

Oh! Recipes of of hungry-girl.com have tons of comparisons to other recipes and all the ones I have tried have been fabulous. Low in calorie and fat!

THX SAM!!!! THIS TIME I WILL MAKE THOSE DIET SODA RECIPES!

yum those cupcakes sound really good! thank you

I was going to the gym three times a week, but in the last two weeks I have gone only once. So much going on in my life right now. The thing is the gym is the first thing that gets pushed to the back burner. But I know it does me so much good. I mean I feel good after I go. So I need to work on some sort of incentive that will get me back to going three times a week (or more). Like the saying I read, "I know I would be unstoppable...if I could only get started!"

I completely understand DeeDee! I don't exercise as much, but I make sure I eat right (which I have a program through weight watchers). Try to put exercise in front of something, whether it be dusting, vaccuuming or the dishes. Exercise only takes 20 minutes of a high heart rate. Good Luck!

My gym is doing a 6 week challenge to see who can be the Biggest Loser. I signed up for it. I have to commit to going three times a week and getting weighed each week. I think that this will motivate me to get going on a regular basis. So far so good this week anyway, of course this is the first week. I jsut don't want to be disqualified. they haven't posted what the prizes will be, but hey, give me a t-shirt and I'll be happy!

To all who is trying to lose the weight.i am behind you 100%.You have my support.I need to loose a good 60lbs(just turned 50),but no desire yet.If i could lay off my d*** beer i would be ok!!..!! But Laura and DeeDee. ..and DeeDee,im sorry for the lost of your husband.It had to be hell at such an young age.
