Nicole, I have always been the opposite. I have been told I don't eat enough! I used to only eat dinner. SKipped breakfast and lunch most days and substituted coffee and cigarettes. Well when the weight kept creeping on I started to eat because I was told it would help. I eat some cereal for breakfast and a sandwich or lean cuisine for lunch. I don't eat alot of junk, a few cookies a few times a week, maybe chips once a week. My problem is starch~ pasta and rice yum! So anyway I have to figure out how to get my food intake right and my metabolism to respond! But if I can get over these friggin wants than I can do that too!! Just one hour at a time for that too huh? Ok. Have a healthy day!

Linda, I use cups full of ice water with crushed ice. It has helped to keep me from gaining too much weight so far. I may have gained 4 pounds. Sugar free gum, sugar free hard candy but the ice water is really what helps the most.

ok so today..... i had 2 bananas and a cup of yogurt for breakfast (yogurt 110 cals) I didnt go to the y today......i just went up to my excersise bike...i have had this thing for 10 years and never used it.....i always used our treadmill. I worked out on this bike...i went 40 min.....10.85 miles and burned 515 cals....i was like ok i can handle that...it wasnt painfull or awful will use it from now on lmao. for lunch im gonna have a ham sandwhich. YAY (sarcasm.) i have to keep telling myself you can do this....you can do this....when i quit smoking i never once thought...."i cant do this" with this losing weight thing...im screaming "I CANT DO THIS" at the top of my lungs. 😞

me too..
  but my scale is off so i will have to use my stepmom's. Dr's scale said 215.

  Today my Stepmom's says (213) I'm also taking measurements because something I read said that when u loose weight it is mostly water weight so it is wise to measure to se results aswell. and to check them every 2 wks so u can see results. I worked out yesterday and a little to day. remember that anywater u loose u will also regain when u rehydrate but it is ok because u need the water so focus more on the inches rather than the weight!! I am learning alot from this site called www.sparkpeople.com please go check it out, it is alot like this one and it is for weight loss! U get to create ur own plan and they help u with the program. just check it out it is FREE!!!!
