Thanks, Mary and Nancy!

But, er, um, those Stars are from Minnesota!

I would prefer Blackhawks!

Round about July, I was on the Michael Thrumond 6 Week Body Makeover then I fell off. It happens. Well naturally with the new year I'm back on it again for good.

If anyone knows of the plan or is on it...let me know it would be nice to have another tvch'er who's also making and bagging their meals.

I'm sitting here eating meal 3 of 5. But I'll check in here and let you know how my progress goes.

Ack! What year am I living in?
Those Stars used to come from the North, but I guess they're down in Dallas now!

Either way, I'll stay with my lowly Hawks.

WTG Nancy! that much in 40 weeks actually is a pretty decent rate for how you approached it.

Yey for Nancy!

I finished my first week of better and (less) eating.. Yey for me too! I won't know for a while how it's working, because I can't weigh right now, but hopefully soon I can share some weight loss posts!

Am still dieting, byut it's slow going. I joined a Pilates class and went the other day, and am walking everyday to school--about 1 mile each way. Am feeling fat and discouraged today. I need to do some cardio but can't seem to get around to it yet. :(

Anyway, just thought I'd check in and hope everyone is doing well.

Oregon, one step at a time. Anything we do towards our health is helping, and it all adds up.

Are you finding a fun physical activity yet? I've never done Pilates; what do you think so far? Walking makes me happy, and I was surprised to learn (at age 40) last summer that I liked tennis, even though for me it means mostly fetching the balls. Bending over a hundred times an hour worked the glutes, though. LOL Strictly summer sport for me so I can use the free courts. I have to rely on walking for most of my exercise this time of year. One mile each way to school is an exceptional amount! It's early in the game, keep hanging in there. And if something's not fun to do, heck look for something else. We all have our fat days, those other days feel pretty good though. We can do this!

Don't know if this is of interest to anyone...

But I had a lunch out today, and tried to be good.
Afterwards, I checked and found this site to see how I did. I didn't know for sure they had one, but they did.

Burger King Nutrional Info

Also, if anyone else has any good online calorie counters, please post them if you can. Thanks!!

another good place to look for restuarant info is

http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html

it is weigh-watchers points related but it lists calories fat and fiber as well..for about 50 or so common restaurant's from burger king to TGI friday's to the ninty-nine restaurant

I know how you feel. I just can't get motivated. I'm not losing and thank God, I'm not gaining. I am totally being careful with what I eat since being diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I just need to cut down on my portion sizes and walk some each day.

Well I had a slight set back last night.

With my dinner, I had some chicken broth that had loads of garlic in it. It had too many carbs in it for that meal (since I already had my carb meal) and it really did trigger my hunger, which I haven't had for over a week. I had a bag of M&M's in my bedside table that I have not touched all week. I have not had the cravings for them. But last night after that meal, I was craving carbs, and I broke down and ate them. It was equivalent to about a king size bag. I was also feeling a little discouraged because earlier that day I had a chance to get a better idea of how much I weigh, and it was even more than I thought. BUT, I didn't let it ruin my day, until late last night when I was online, and those cravings hit. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, and I'm going to get back on track today. I know I can do this. I have to do this.
Anyway.. thanks for letting me vent. :)

I've never taken a Pilates class but I've "read" a number of books on it and have quite a few videos. I love it and would encourage most anyone to try this method. It's used in rehab so even people who are very out of shape or have physical limitations can practice it. You just have to listen to your body and go as far as you can. And if you can go to a class or see a trained Pilates instructor, even better! I'd love to hear how your class goes, Oregonfire.

I was just reading a yoga book last night and the author said something about how some people are unwilling to try yoga or do try it but quit right away because they can't do the positions perfectly. But in yoga, there is no perfect position. In fact, you're supposed to fit the position to your body and abilities.

Mygetaway: Don't let this little set-back get you down. I don't know much about low-carb diets but one slip shouldn't hurt you. Good luck!

This week: 7 pounds
Total lost: 7 pounds
Total weeks: 1

I had a slight advantage this week. I've been very sick and I've been working alot so haven't felt like eating much. I've been drinking only water because my throat is so sore. So I know I can do it.. Hopefully next week will go as well.. Good Luck to all!!

I've lost 8 pounds since Jan. 1. (But it's only three off my "normal" weight, since I puffed up 5 pounds over the holidays)

I'm just cutting the carbs and snacks. Also eating very healthy except on Wed night when I have to eat fast food in the car for supper. I am making wiser fast food choices.

Maybe next week, I'll start walking to work.

Oooooo I like Nancy's star idea! I will take my Jan 1 weight as my "base weight".

Since Jan 1: 8 pounds
Total lost: 8 pounds
Total weeks: 1

Thanks for the pep talk, everyone. :), and congrats to all on their weight loss! I'm still doing well on the diet part, and know I need to give myself a break. Unfortunately I skipped Pilates yesterday because our graphic design class went to go see Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine," which I felt was more important (glad I did.) However, I walked *everywhere* yesterday, probably about 3-4 miles. Yeah!

My energy level has taken a nose dive as I've curbed my diet and carbo intake level. Any hints folks?
