On the straight and narrow today Oh, I also tasted a couple of the Starbucks snacks and have to say that now that they are trans fat free I'll be able to pass them up as they aren't as uberly delish as they used to be. Same goes for some of the cookies at DLR. Have a great day everyone! It's great to see so many posters popping in We've missed you guys!!

We should set like a routine on here like for example a quota for every few days that everyone should meet. like 100 squats in 3 days and some sort of arm excercises and then when ppl have done them check in on here and say done. That way everyone who wants to participate is in the same boat.

The hotel we stay at has the MOST awesome desserts in their coffee shop of all places. I have my nutritionist appointment on Monday, I told myself I'd be on a salad, water diet this week to kick off another couple of lbs. Then a freebie offer came in the mail and all my good intentions went out the window Maybe I'll skip dinner and go right for dessert
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Battle Of The Bulge "I'll start a new one Monday", we've heard it all before, but if I don't really start one soon I won't make it through the door. I start with good intentions of that I can't deny, I'm getting fatter by the hour, I'll really have to try. So no more chips or chocolate, no more 'pigging out' I'll be be very careful what I eat of that there'll be no doubt. I'll watch my waist get tiny, I'll watch my figure thin, Oh what a joy it's going to be to at last be nice and slim. I can see me walking down the street in dress size number ten, I just have to resist and resist I will when I get a hungry yen. With exercise in every form and regular daily jogs, you'll see me lazing by the pool in my top designer togs. So come join me all you tubbies, come join with me at last, I'll need all the help that I can get to get me through this fast. If you see me eating lollies or sneaking greasy fries, then smack my hand and click your tongue, remind me of my size. I'm sure that I can make it, I just need a little space before Monday comes around again, till then I'll "stuff my face"!
Originally Posted By tashajilek LOVE DCA you should worry about the HBP more then anything. 145lbs isnt really that bad just keep your goals realistic so you dont set yourself up for dissapointment. If you stay positive and keep with it i think you can do it
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight L-DCA, Losing weight is so hard indeed. Speaking from experience, (I lost 100 lbs.)

We are here to support eachother in our quest to get healthy bodys. I fall off the wagon all of the time, but, I get right back on. They key is to NOT punish yourself for falling off. We are only human and food tastes sooo darn good! Eat healthy as you well already know, eat 5-6 mini meals a day and excercize. These are all no brainer steps, but so hard to stick to withour lifestyles sometimes. We all have bad eating habits or we would'nt be in this thread. Bad habits can be broken though. You are aware of your health concerns and are taking steps to make yourself healthy. ATTA GIRL! Most of all, be PROUD of yourself right now, no matter what your weight. We are all beautiful women no matter what size! {{{L-DCA}}}

And tonight when I go to Disneyland after work I plan on power walking to the front gate—skipping the tram ,and then walking back also to the parking structure.
