Lord help me, there is a bag of potato chips in the kitchen and I feel like mowing through the entire thing. Sadly it was hot and muggy here today and I've been craving salty stuff all day! I had some raspberry tea and am still hungry.

Not doing well here myself. Overate during weekend & tonight my companion Jerald had a bag of dark chocolate machadamenians near his computer. I got hold of the bag & ate about 10 of them. Guess what? I dont even like dark chocolate! but these were good! I ate them right after eating dinner. I feel such a weight on my chest now! No wonder! Only good thing....I walked for 1 hr late this aftern.

I hear you, Gilda. I got SO hungry on Saturday after a night of drinking (also not healthy, at least I danced), that I ordered Mexican food. I ate a cheese quesadilla, some guac nachos, and threw the rest away. I've been good today, but not very active. At least I'm holding steady at 180, which is a lower weight than last weekend!

Hi Nyheat! I guess our problem is that we get alot of pleasure from food and just love to eat which makes it so difficult for us stay focused and stay consistent in losing weight. At least we are aware of what we are doing. Its not going to be easy for us but at least we can support one another & know we are not alone in our battle to bring down our weight. By the way, I am around 182.5 tonight so we are around the same weight. How tall are you and how much weight do you want to lose? I would like to get down to 150 lbs. Were you ever at a goal weight? I have never been. Would love to experience it one day... Did you eat those chips that you were eyeing?

Hiya Gilda & NYH! Well I was half good and half naughty in the food dept this weekend. DH & I went through a ton of fruit salad w/cottage cheese. But I also had pudding cups, and my current addiction, Glossetts chocolate raisins. Sigh. At least there's no more chocolate in the house, and I think we're out of pudding cups (they came in handy with my sore throat last week.) So now there's only healthy stuff around, like pears and bananas for snacks.

Hi Gilda No, I didn't eat the chips, thank goodness. I did go to bed earlier than usual, which is even better. I feel like I crave food more when I sleep less. I'm really trying with the appetite control this time. I've been at my ideal weight a few times in my life, but only for a short time before I shot back up. I'm 5'4 and want to lose at least 40 pounds. I was there a few years ago and gained it all back! (A lot of weight is also in my chest. If/when I get to my goal weight, I am considering a breast lift. I feel my chest ages me like 20 years.) Good luck!

Hi losers! and want to be losers such as myself! I managed to not gain this past weekend, in fact I lost from my last Monday's weight, 2 lbs. I have been trying to keep busy because boredom causes me to put stuff in my mouth that causes me to gain weight, lol! I even had pizza last night. It was thin crust, broccoli, tomato and chicken with a white sauce.

Did anyone else have a tough week? Boy I did. I lost ONE pound this week, and it was harder to get rid of than 5 pounds in previous weeks. Time to up my exercise dosage. BTW, was going to join the gym tomorrow (had an appt. and everything, but I am losing my job (am a freelancer, it happens), so no-go to that. But I got a lot of exercise cruising to an art store on the Lower East Side to update my portfolio. Onward, upward, and to future good things! I cooked and ate a small rib eye steak tonight, I don't think that's bad, do you? I was going to be good earlier in the week, had a HORRIBLE "date," and came home and scarfed the leftovers over the sink. Ah, the single life. ETA My MO at the moment is to control myself whenever I can, and at that, I do pretty well. But I cannot go drinking, that throws me off, or let myself get run down or dehydated or lack sleep. Today I had a quarter of a bagel at work, I was okay with that. Right now I am drinking raspberry tea to control cravings.

I knew I had been getting big, but today I realised just how much weight I've been gaining. I just took pictures of myself in my bikini as visual proof of just where its gotten, and where I need to be away from. With all my extra weight, it's not just "looking" badly, my diastolic/systolic pressures have both gone up (not anywhere close to high, but still, they've gone up) and with my extra weight, I'm at SUCH a HIGHER RISK for all of these conditions, and I'm going to look HORRIBLE when I go to Cuba in May if I don't do something about this! So today is the beginning of the rest of my life.

Neko, for what it's worth, I am of the opinion that you (specifically you, not the generic you) photograph heavier than you actually are. I met Neko just three weeks ago, and I was expecting a heavier person from the pictures you have posted. In person, you don't appear to be even slightly chubby, let alone overweight. Of course, at your age, one must always stay "bikini-ready," as you never know when you may need to strut around in one.

Neko, in my entire life, I have never been bikini-ready, so I commend you for your dedication. BUT I also trust Jooj, and she's basically saying that you are a little hottie, and I believe her. So cut yourself some slack, just be glad you're not on TV where the camera adds TEN pounds!

I understand where Neko is comming from. I have some ppl telling me I dont need to lose weight I am fine but I dont feel that way. I feel better at 130 or less so even though Neko may look great she may feel better losing 10lbs.

Thanks Juju and Mame, but I'm just saying, I look a WHOLE lot better with clothes on than a bathing suit (or nothing ) I think I'd be much happier with myself about 10-20 pounds of fat gone. In all honesty, I'd like to think that I'd feel better with myself even if I was just healthier in my habits, even if I didn't look different. (Though, I'd lose weight no matter what if I got healthier habits. LOL)

Woo Hoo, down four pounds!!! The scale finally moved today, reading 175-176. I am so glad. I was good about not taking in too many saturated fats and carbs this weekend. Last night I had soup, but the "Healthy Choice" kind. I also had an egg for breakfast yesterday, lot of salad this weekend, the rib eye steak Saturday, and had a green apple whenever I felt like scarfing cookies. Also I ate a whole tomato whenever I needed that "full" feeling. It really works. I am proud of myself! Drinking broth also curbed my appetite yesterday. The only exercise was doing laundry and walking down to the grocery store, a couple of other short walks. Still need to get on that. I also sneak sugar in my coffee, still can't give that up. I had a packet of oatmeal yesterday, but at least it was a small one. There is a site called the Daily Plate that calculates daily calories for you based on what you eat. Seems like a good way to stay within boundaries without having to do a food journal. Good luck girls!!!

Woh Nyheat! Great job!!!Sneaking sugar in your coffee is not too bad...it is what we do overall that counts...you still managed to lose 4 lbs!!! I am so proud of you! By the way I also have that larger chest problem 42DD which makes me look alot wider on top. If I wasnt that chicken I would consider a breast reduction operation, lol. I was 179.2 this a.m. in my undies,lol...even with eating 3 snack bars (160 cals each) yesterday. I still managed to walk for 30-35 mins. Oh well...keep on trucking.... Thinking of you all! Good week ahead!

Escapee, you look fabuloso! I am VERY proud of you. Today the doc's scale says I lost the pound I gained 11 days ago. Which puts me at 163. Doc says the bronchitis has most likely morphed to inner ear infection, due to my extreme dizziness and nausea, etc. And my fibro-fatique is off the charts. He figures it's going to be at least another week... geez. Thank heaven's my boss is VERY understanding! The good news is that the Doc took a bunch of tests this time! So may-bee we'll get down to the bottom of it once and for all. But I probably won't weigh myself again, til I am officially well.

Mame, thank you. I am proud of me too, and this maybe the best picture ever of me, so I am flaunting it. Yay for a loss for you. The thing is, I felt pretty and good and that's never really happened for me.
