Keep up the good work my dear dieting buddies... Another reason I hope I ace today's job interview, I tend to eat more responsibly when I'm working.

My update: A little weight gain. I've been under a lot of stress lately. But that will be over soon & hopefully I'll be able to get the weight off as well. With the longer days, I'm looking forward to more walks. Dating update: I actually had a man on-line ask me how much I weighed! How would you have reacted??

I wouldn't have answered. Apparently he is shallow and that is a HUGE red flag. What did you say? Well, I have to weigh in in the morning. I've been pretty good lately, but I got on the scale and it showed a 3 pound increase!!! I almost wet my pants....then the cramps started....gawd I hope it's just bloating and that it's increased my weight by 5 pounds!!!

I said "Next!" lol! No I didn't but I wish I had. I said "Good luck with your search & take care." The end! I ate an entire medium pizza last night and had chocolate ice cream for desert. I've been under a little stress lately! I'm hoping to get that under control very soon!!! Hi Escapee!!

Vnicky I can TOTALLY relate. Between the unrelenting arm/shoulder pain (plus my other chronic ouchies) and being on pins and needles waiting to hear if I got a certain job... I've been pigging out like there's no tomorrow. One of the reasons I'm hoping to get the job is that I eat better when I'm working on a regular schedule. HIya Cinnamon, Ginge, and Escapee!

I also eat better when working on a regular schedule. But this week has not been that bad. I have NO choice now but to lose weight!!! More than my high cholesterol is my lower back problem and start of knee problems. No treatment has really helped all that much & so MUST lose weight to reduce pressure on back & knees. For me diets do not work so I am trying to concentrate on changing my life style and to eat healthy foods, more or less following the Canada Food Guide. Exercise is difficult right now (for walking)with piles of snow out my door and also part of my eliptical machine fell off this week. I am going to get out this afternoon to walk around a shopping mall. I just find it frustrating that it is going to take months or perhaps a year or more to lose 55-60 lbs. I am now around 204 lbs. Have to get down to around 144-150 lbs. Last time (2004) I lost any weight was when I was going to a gym twice per week. My highest weight ever was 223 lbs. It took me 8 MONTHS, just to lose 20 lbs!!!!!Frustrating!!! It is difficult to constantly watch what you eat day after day, week after week, month after month... But I guess I did not gain the weight over night...so I just have to go with the flow & just do it...and perhaps I can have a cheat day once a week...cause I love pizza (not just two slices, at least 4) and chinese food with a cold can of coke. No wonder it they call it the Battle of the Bulge!!!! I wish you all well as we fight this battle!!!

I got back down to 130 ....I have gained about 10lbs over the last 3 yrs and then about 10 in 3 mo....so my goal is to lose 20lbs......

UGH!!! I gained .8lb. HOW THE HECK? Well, I started my period and right when I got back from weighing in I had to go #2. TMI? Sorry, but I really hope that's the reason for the weight increase and not decrease.

I'm holding my own, up and down about a pound over the past month. I am working out more than I was at home and think I have lost inches but don't have a measuring tape here. Keep up the fight, everyone. Congrats to all the losers!

Yes, yay Karuna! I just got back from a week's vacation and absolutely no exercise, my body actually hurts because of this and well, I guess pms didn't help. Weight wise I'm about the same, but I feel like crapola. One of these days I am hoping to report a loss.

I would think 148lb for you would be perfect. I am 52 1/2 so I look like a toad LOL wishing you a good weigh in!

FOr a number of reasons I've been eating myself into a stupor lately. Which is why I don't come into this thread much lately. I don't want to be a downer. Here are my 'excuses': I've been in incredible, constant 24/7 pain with my left shoulder/arm for a couple of months now, possibly two. And I have a zero pain tolerance, so it's hard to be a big, brave girl on some days. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster regarding jobhunting. I'm in panic mode, as I need to work NOW. I've been batting zero in this regard lately. We are a 2 income family on 1 income right now. I need a job YESTERDAY, iykwim. I am prone to the blues as well. Sometimes it's hormonal and sometimes, it is based in reality. But it ain't fun. Lately I'm self-medicating the pain and the blues, with chocolate. Hot Cocoa, chocolate bars, bailey's irish cream drinks, etc. etc. Right at the moment, I'm on a tylenol 3 (has codein) and feeling VERY fuzzy/blotto. It's helping to mute my shoulder pain somewhat. See... told ya I'm a downer right now.

Mameblanche, you are not a downer! You have very good reasons not to be on top of the world lately, ((Mame)). Things will work out, I know you already know that but until then I will keep my fingers crossed that you find that great job out there waiting for you. I wish nothing but the best for you.

Aw thanks 'Neecie! I was reluctant to add that two huge stressors right now are my mom's declining health, and the fact that my email is totally messed up, probably with a virus. But I try to be extremely honest in my posts... so I guess I should add those in too.
