    I AM BACK ON TRACK TODAY.
    Will try to be good this week.
    I made that turkey, veggie soup and will have that for lunch.
    It came out really good. I don't usually buy cabage but I put some in the soup and it came out nice.

    I haven't weighed myself at all. I've cut out a huge amount of sugar and have been eating lots of fruits and vegetables. I do the treadmill in the morning after work and swim at home. Having great results. I'm down two belt holes and my work pants are getting really loose.

    Christa, I can't believe you've lost all that weight! That's great encouragement for the rest of us.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I've yet to post on any of these threads yet but I have been following and eating healthy right along with you all.

    I started at the same time you posted the first thread and have slowly lost a total of 14 lbs which I'm really happy with. Now I can actually wear the old pants I had almost given up hope on

    I did have a weak moment at the PT picnic on Sunday and ate all the yummy food everyone brought (well I did have to try it all) but I'm back on track now. Mark and I even went for a 10 mile bike ride last night through our towns bike path. I must be doing good biking and walking with the dogs because surprisingly my legs don't hurt.
    ----------------------
    Now my problem...
    I *HATE* to exercise, I mean I really despise it. I've tried different things, I'm even going through the Exercise on Demand I have on cable. Nothing can get me pumped about exercise. We even have a bowflex and I just keep saying "tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes. What can I do? Any suggestions?
    I'm getting rid of the fat, now I want to get rid of the flab!

    Um . . . I haven't lost 169 pounds, if that's what you're saying. LOL . . . that is EVERYBODY'S total. I'm keeping a running total of pounds lost. Only 58 pounds of that is mine.

    Which reminds me . . . KEEP ME UPDATED . . . if you lose a few, I'll add it to the "PT POUNDS LOST"!!! It's getting up there!

    Too funny! I honestly haven't been keeping track. For me, it's easier never to weigh.

    Congrats! I added your 14 lbs to our tally!

    Now . . . I don't know much about bowflex, but that is mostly strength training, right? resistance to build muscle? If you want to lose more, you probably need to incorporate some cardio. Do you do any cardio? Walk or anything?

    Yes I do but I'm not great at it. I walk take both the girls for a 2 mile bike ride each then I take Bon for a one mile walk. It takes me around an hour. Biking is cardio right?

    I haven't been posting because I haven't been losing any weight. It seems like this summer I just keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. It's so frustrating but I know it is due to some health issues that I'm hopefully going to get straightend out soon.

    As for my weight loss - I lost all my weight from April 2005 to May 2006 so I don't know if it should be included in the grand total but if it can put me down for 78 pounds. I still have more to go but it's just not coming off right now.

    I am still going to the gym on a fairly regular basis (when I feel up to it) so at least I'm maintaining my exercise.

    Fruit is a really good dessert. I like a light yougurt with about 1 tablespoon of low fat granola stirred into it, I pretend it's an ice cream sundae. Quaker peanut butter chocolate chip rice cakes, they are 60 calories a cake and 1 gram of fat, but they make a great replacement for when you really want a candy bar.

    Next week I get to really up my exercise as two of my boys will be off to school in the mornings. Once they are out the door the baby the dog and I will be off for a nice brisk walk. Plus I have been making sure to do more cooking at home and easing back into the whole foods type of diet. It's still hard since the hubby is working out of town and I'm so busy but it will be worth it.

    WOW 169! That's awesome! I have lost 34 so far, keeping it up! I also have a Bowflex, it has been a lot of help because I hate going to the gym, so I can stay home and exercise. I also have a gazelle, so I warm up on that and walking Roscoe, then I Bowflex 3 days a week. I have seem a big difference with it. I usually don't care much for exercising, but I have a tv in that room and I can watch tv while I work out, so that helps a lot.

    As for healthy desserts, I like fat free sugar free fudgcicles... what's even better is take one off of the stick and put it in a bowl, out it in the microwave for about 7-8 seconds, add a spoonful of peanut butter and a little lite cool whip - yummy!

    Don't do it Carmen! Being thin is much tastier than those chips! You can resist!
