Thu 7/27/2006 3:42p | I am going to WDW in November 2007, and while that is a looooong way away I have a looooooot of weight to lose so I am starting now. I am doing small things right now, like making time to put a healthy lunch for work together and not buying soda at the store. I had a rough week and bought a soda for the last 3 days at work but tomorrow the "no soda" rule will be in effect at work again. I also need to get exercising. I will start off just walking a little bit. I am going to get up 30 minutes earlier a day, which is an obtainable goal, I hope. |

Thu 7/27/2006 3:51p | Welcome Candice!!
I hope this works for you. With the heat exercise has kinda gotten pushed to the back of my mind. So far today I am on track. Though my weight loss goals may not be as much as some it is still very hard. I really want to be healthy and am a true addict. Today is all I am assured of and I am doing well so far. No more ice cream and I gave up soda over a year ago. My best ºo º |

Fri 7/28/2006 8:03a | Welcome to the club Miss C! I'm still not on the wagon. I know what I need to do, I know it works for me, and yet I'm eating crud.
Maybe it'll work better next week when I'm not working nightshifts and am getting some sleep.
BTW Miss C, we're tentatively planning on visiting WDW in November 2007 as well :) We can be gorgeous and thin there together :) |

Fri 7/28/2006 12:49p | Well everyone, the heat may have been my excuse but now that it has broken I am more willing to do what I know is right.
Yesterday I had whole grain cereal w/organic yogurt, lots of vegetables and a little beef. And suprise, suprise, suprise.......I feel much better today. Not nearly as sluggish and apathetic. So
far today I have had only veggies and whole grain cereal. I actually have real energy.
>>I know it works for me, and yet I'm eating crud.<<
I know how this feels. I do it all the time in spite of how it makes me feel. Today I could care less about my weight because I know that I am loving myself enough to be healthy and with that the weight takes care of itself. We are all behind you. Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone has his/her own inner schedule.

Tue 8/8/2006 1:18p | Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.
I'm going to kick off my weight loss plan today. I want to lose between 30 and 40 pounds. I'll re-evaluate my final goal when I get closer to it.
I lost 50 pounds a couple of years ago, but put half of it back on. Maintenance is tough. We definitely need to go into this thinking it's a lifestyle change, not a diet.
Anyway, I'm putting myself in the 'accountability thread' to help keep me honest.
Here's to better health! |

Tue 8/8/2006 2:02p | On the one hand, I'm still overeating when I get stressed...
After having a rough morning the other day, I went out and ate a large burrito, a small pizza, a banana split, and a large bag of M&Ms (PotC white chocolate, of course).
On the other hand, most of the time I'm doing better...
I usually buy "relaxed fit" jeans, but I just got a new pair and was able to go for the "regular fit" instead. |

Tue 8/8/2006 2:42p | Good job on the jeans shopping, Alex.
We are all entitled to 'stress eating' days...so long as they are the exception rather than the norm. |

Tue 8/8/2006 3:22p | I am glad this thread got bumped cuz I really did not want to be the one to do it. That makes me have to be honest.
I had a real hard time staying on track after my July DL trip. I would be on for a couple of days then lose it.
I went up to my moms for 4 days last week. This is always good for me as she is 82 and diabetic. So when I go there I take lots of good foods and I cook and we eat the same things. I told her if I could just live with her I would be slim and trim in no time.
But after I came home we went to the Aloha Festival in San Francisco and the main reason people go there is to eat. And nothing there is low fat but the shave ice. Then we had lunch out at the Oakland meet. Yesterday and today have been good foodwise but I just made last minute plans to go to Seattle to see my daughter and I always gain weight there. So my goal is to stay even and get back to weight loss eating when I get home.
My exercise routine has been totally lost so I am working to get that back too.
Hello and best wishes to all. |

Tue 8/8/2006 3:25p | ok, I have been really bad lately (as I sit here eating candied fruit slices). Tomorrow is my husbands weigh in and we are back to doing it the old way. Grocery shopping and planning menus so we have dinner planned and not stopping at Taco Bell.
I gained 2 pounds last week but it was because I had a chocolate ice cream with strawberry craving that could not be satisfied. If I didn't know better, you would have thought I was pregnant, that is how bad it was but now I will be back to healthy again.

Tue 8/8/2006 4:14p | LacyBelle, alexbook and RAM1984,
What are you guys talking about?! I've seen you all and none of you look like you need to loose ANY weight (this isn't to say eating right and excersising isnt' always a good idea). |
